What’s up?

Published by

Well, nothing much actually.  Mummy was up to her neck in her work for the past month and would much rather catch up with her sleep than blog for us. #wehaveaterriblemummy So, for the Nth time, we apologise for the lack of posts no thanks to we-know-who. #pointsourpawsatmummy Thank you for not giving up on us! On a good note, things are finally moving for us! After a couple of months of deliberation and multiple (really disappointing) meetings with IDs, Mummy decided to take things in her own hands and decorate/design our new apartment herself. #dieliaola #surenodesignsenseone #lookhowmuchfaithwehaveinourmummy Regardless of how the place turns out to be (fingers/paws crossed), Pecan and I are really looking forward to just having our own space once again. Reno works start tomorrow! So, wish us luck! Let the countdown begin….

Happy Lunar New Year!

Published by

Our Lunar New Year was pretty blah~ For starters, we’re still staying with Grandmummy as our new place is not yet already. Thus, we really couldn’t have any friends over. #waituntilourneckslonglongliao Secondly, we weren’t included in any of our parents’ house visiting plans. #boohoohoo  Oh well~ Nonetheless, we were still dressed to the nines for the occasion. We ended up parading around the house for no one to see. #sosadhor Thank you Godmummy for the lovely outfits from Bangkok! #sighmatchymatchywithpecanagain Ah ma showing off her pretty dress and *cough* sexy *cough* dress. #oldliaosstilldaretodressuntillikethat Me looking like a dumpling in my outfit. Well, we all agreed that ah ma’s outfit was way cuter than mine. Mummy commented that the male outfit would be more complete if it also came with a hat. So she decided to do some lousy photoshop. Tadah~ #justforherownkick #tookherdamnlongla #sheisreallynotsavvy Oh well, wishing everyone a happy lunar new year! Hope you have a great monkey year ahead! PS: We do welcome ang baos. So please send them this way to help fund …

Our pick for Stalker Mummy – the Petzi

Published by

We already warned you that Mummy is on a shopping spree this month. For Christmas she said. (Remember?) So after pampering herself with the Torus bowl, she coerced Daddy into getting her a Petzi Treat Cam. To check on us while she is at work she said. #morelikesatisfyherstalkingtendencies #poordaddyburnanotherholeinhispocket And without even waiting for Christmas, impatient Mummy got around to unwrapping her ‘present’. Tsk tsk tsk. Besides the Petzi camera, an extra simple instruction sheet (a bit too simple to be honest) and two packets of Milk-Bone treats for starters are also included! #sonicegiveustreats #welikeitalready Pecan ah ma thinks that she’s cuter than the Beagle. #nocomments The design of the Petzi is extremely simple and great for tech idiots like Mummy. All you have to do is remove the cover and pour treats into the hole. #pourMOREleh  The plug is an US two-headed plug, so an adapter is required.  Simply plug it in and follow the instructions for setup. The process is supposedly pretty painless. But for some weird reason, Mummy couldn’t get the Petzi …

The toy bucket challenge!

Published by

So, we were challenged by The Vanilla Pup, Latte and her owner on Instagram to do the #ToyBucketChallenge.We had to either pour a bucket of stuffies over our heads OR donate $10 to an Animal Welfare Group of our choice. Since it was for a good cause, we immediately said YES! to it.  #challengeaccepted #bringiton Besides, nothing beats being showered with toys. Like literally. Mummy was all geared up and started walking around the house with a bucket to pick up the dead toys that were scattered around the room. To ensure that she did not sabo (cheat) us by putting a rock or two in it, she allowed us to inspect the toys prior to the challenge. #allclear The reason why Pecan ah ma looked blur in the image was that she actually attempted to steal a toy or two away! #itistoybucketchallengenotstealatoychallenge Tsk Tsk tsk… old people huh.. Once we gave her the green light, we got into position…. (Okay, we did switch position after a while… I didn’t want to stand near Daddy …

Ikea for dogs!

Published by

Mummy loves heading to Ikea for some therapeutic window shopping. Daddy’s pretty okay with that. Except that Mummy’s definition of “window shopping” is a tad different from others.  Yap, she NEVER leaves empty handed. #mummyisashopaholic But of course, being an obsessive dog parent, more often than not, she would end up buying something for us! That’s the reason why you would find her in the kid’s section everything she visits Ikea. Hehehe, in fact, she added some awesome kids toys to my stash during her last visit! Since Pecan ah ma has been leaving her toys around the house and our original toy box is overflowing, Mummy decided to check out some storage solutions for us.  And that’s when these fun baskets caught her attention. (Source: Ikea) And guess what, I think the vibrant colors suit us too! Plus, they finally allow us to stow away ah ma’s many toys. Basket ONE is for her annoying squeaky toys; Basket TWO is for balls (most of these are mine. hehehe); Basket THREE is for Pecan’s stinky …

Daddy’s new toy

Published by

Mummy had to work late and tasked Daddy to watch over us for the evening.  However, stupid Daddy actually ditched us at Grandmummy’s and by the time Mummy came home, she was rather pissed to find us missing. Yap, there was no welcome dance from me and Pecan. Booooooo~ To make things worse for Daddy, Mummy actually bought him a big pressie. So when he saw the present, he let out an apologetic and sheepish smile. Stupid Daddy. Just to make sure that we didn’t miss out on the surprise, Daddy actually waited for us to return home to unveil the present. We were elated to see such a huge box! “Is it a box full of treats?!?” Daddy: “It’s not edible! And it’s mine!” Huh? For once, the exciting item that came through our door wasn’t for us. Oh well… And we weren’t sure if we were allowed to use the contents of the box. And when Daddy said yes, we couldn’t wait to find out what the amazing item was.  I mean, it’s …

My little Basket!

Published by

Mummy brought home a cute little basket from Egg3 a couple of days ago. I was quite fascinated by it and could not stop checking it out. Mummy: I’ll bring you gai gai (shopping) if you can fit in the basket! Challenge accepted. After some wriggling, all 6.9kg of me sat comfortably in the little wicker basket!  I’m ready, Mummy. Let’s go! I kinda realised I got cheated once again when all Mummy did after I got in, was to stand there and laugh at me. *face paw-pad* (The dog version of face-palm) Giving Mummy the “I hate you” face. Stupid woman… I was stuck refused to get out and Mummy had to tilt the basket to get me out of it. Once she did that, she revealed the real purpose of the basket – to store the stray slippers by the door! To take revenge, I decided to photobomb! Hey, at least I gave a happy face k. Well, since the basket wasn’t exactly the most comfortable of traveling modes, I didn’t mind that …

Shhhh.. Hear Doggy!

Published by

(Yet) Another awesome perk of Mummy’s internship (besides my free exposure on pets magazine) is that she is able to get her hands on new innovative toys!  So, on one lovely evening, Mummy came home with a grin. She came up to me and told me that she bought me a new toy! Of course, from the corner of my eye, I could see Daddy giving the “not again” face. Too bad for you, Daddy and goooooood for me! I was pretty excited to see what Mummy got for me. Presenting the surprise – a Hear Doggy! squeaky stuffy! I was uber excited about the starfish stuffy and could not wait to sink my teeth in it! I was 100% focused on my new mission in life – attack the starfish while it cries squeaks for mercy, kill the squeaker and remove all its stuffing!! RAWR…  Before I could even begin, I felt that there was something different about this squeaky toy.  In the past, each time Mummy squeezes the toy to squeak it, Daddy …

Architecture For Sam…

Published by

Mummy discovered a website, Architecture for Dogs and fell head over heels with the many pieces of functional (or not) furniture designed by world class architects and designers. This community of dog-lovers selflessly shares their stylish designs with the world by uploading their blueprints, together with instructional videos, to encourage canine lovers everywhere around the globe to get down and start building these pieces for their dogs at home! Even better is the fact that many of the designs are breed-specific, depending on the dog the designers owns. And with a stroke of luck, Torafu Architects designed for Jack Russell Terriers, like myself!  *Wriggly dance* Introducing the Wanmock! (Source: Architecture for Dogs) Here’s how the blueprint looks like. There are actually two ways to assemble a Wanmock and mummy chose the hassle-free option where all pieces are cut to precision and all that is needed during assembly is to slot them together. Yes, in case you are wondering, not a single nail was needed, let alone a drill!  (Source: Architecture for Dogs) Unfortunately for us, we …

Sam Around The House – Our Industrial Organizer Cabinet!

Published by

Introducing the industrial organizer cabinet from Like That One! My parents (mummy mostly) fell in love with this piece of furniture the moment they set eyes on it. It was a exact fit for Mummy’s vintage industrial theme of our home’s decor with the metal drawers and the wooden frame. Moreover, it was a perfect fit for the empty space between the mirror and the TV console! And no one’s gonna complain about extra storage space with style. Hee, I’m trying really hard to follow the instructions of the painting we brought back from NYC!  (It’s a gift from Uncle HL and Auntie E!).  Sit. Stay. SMILE! The only downside of this is that the base of the cabinet is a little higher than ideal – which means that my toys kept rolling under and getting stuck. Sadly, I’m a little too fat tall to fit under and I can only bark for my parents to rescue my toys. Not surprisingly, my parents ain’t too happy with that.  Other than that, this piece is a real conversation …
