Finally… a trip to the B-E-A-C-H!!!!!

I was whisked away into the car early in the morning on the weekend. Dang! I thought I could finally laze in bed. -_- I was still groggy and half awake when we arrived at our destination 30 minutes later. When mummy winded down the window, I knew something exciting was waiting for me. It smelt like… the BEACH!  *Wriggly dance* Yes, we were at East Coast Park!!!! I got up immediately and attempted to jump right out the window. (Fear not, mummy had a good grip and I was still leashed..) When we finally got out of the car, I could not wait to get my little paws wet. Unfortunately for me, my stupid parents had yet to have their breakfast and I was dragged to the restaurant with them.  BOO~~ Anyway, mummy found yet another dog friendly place, Sunset Bay. As we were pretty early, there wasn’t much of a crowd and we were seated right away. After a 10 minute wait or so, our food was served. Daddy had shepherd’s pie while …

Crafting duo presents….

the simplest project EVER. All you need is an old shirt.  (Hee, yes, you saw it right, it’s a A&F!) As usual, I had to test the fabric before we can begin.  Once again, I approve. Curious about what the project is about?  Pity the shirt didn’t fit, else it would have looked great on me.  And nope, it wasn’t a shirt for me… Hope you guessed it right, and yes, it’s an upcycled dog collar! All mummy did  was to use a pinking shears and cut the collar out. It took no more than a minute and the project was completed! I swear I could have done it if I had thumbs! Easy breezy… Awesome isn’t it? Check out the handsome boy and his new collar!  Loving it.  Hee, I feel like a grown up wearing it!  Mummy felt that the collar was a tad bit big for me while Daddy thought it was okay. After all, the shirt collar is 15.5″ but my neck is only 12″..oops, now you know my waistline too.  …

Our little picnic…

We had a quickie picnic a couple of weekends ago.  On the spur of the moment, mummy decided that we do a little picnic at West Coast Park, followed by some cycling.  (The truth was… my stupid mummy overslept and missed my meal time. Hence, they had to pack my breakfast, brunch rather, along with them for the cycling trip.) Presenting Sammy’s little picnic box! I was pretty excited about the picnic till I saw that it was nothing more than my regular food.  What a wet blanket.  But since I was starving, I ate it anyway. My poor parents didn’t have it any better. Since the picnic was really last minute, they decided to just grab a MacDonald’s Takeout.  Sad. (I am normally VERY fond of Macs for it’s yummy nuggets. Too bad for me, breakfast is served till noon so no nuggies for me. Sigh~) I finished my brunch earlier than the rest and could not be bothered to sit around and chill. Hee, got into my Sammy little hunting mode and was …

My new old bowls…

Mummy is a sucker for Flea Markets and would buy tons of trash cool things from there. She recently discovered the Public Garden Flea Market and happily dragged Godmummy along for a little shopping spree. Sadly, unlike the fleas in NYC, this clearly isn’t dog friendly. Hence I’ve to trust mummy to buy things on my behalf. She came back with a bagful of really weird things – a terrarium, one melted and disgusting mango sago tart (even I didn’t want a bite) and two cute bowls for me (that I totally approve!). Aren’t they cool? The two bowls were retro new and reminded mummy of her childhood! Plus, she thought that the two bowls would photograph the future goodies she’s gonna make for me well. She decided to get me used to the bowl by putting some treats in it. However, I was a little uncertain as the metal bowl was making some clinking sounds when it hit against the tiles when I touch it (the bottom of the bowl isn’t completely flat). I …

Beware of the Sam…

Grrrrrrr…. I just ate the doormat… Nom Nom.. Nay, just kidding. *Innocent look to redeem myself* Mummy actually intended to place the doormat at the doorstep, along the corridor. However, she was worried that our neighbors or guests would misunderstand and think that I’m a crazy rabid dog that goes around biting things.  Hence, in it came.. The doormat has officially became an indoor doormat and pretty much yet another spot for the Sammy Loo to chill on. 

Couple Outfits…

Remember Peachy? To thank Mummy for dog sitting, Peachy’s very sweet mummy bought us some gifts (toys, leash, harness etc). Mummy’s favorite of the lot was none other than… the couple tees. -_- Peachy’s mummy thoughtfully bought each of us two matching outfits! Introducing the SuperDogs!  And the barrister dogs!  Mummy kept laughing at me when I put on the Starbucks shirt as she thinks that I look like a wanna-be hunk going to the beach.  -_- Unlike Peachy who was super excited to put the outfits on, I wasn’t too pleased to wear something and was awfully glad when mummy finally took it off.  Phew~ Thankfully I only have to wear it if Peachy’s around! PS: Mummy just told me that Peachy’s coming for another staycation this weekend!  Time for us to plot some grand plans of mischief.  Ho ho ho ….

Made with Love – Home Made Dog Biscuits!!

Under my special request, mummy finally made me some home made dog biscuits!  YEAH! She used a Gourmet Dog treat Maker from Sunbeam she bought from Petsmart in NYC. The dog treat maker looks just like a wafer maker, except that the casing is the shape of dog biscuits! After a quick discussion with me, mummy and I decided to bake – Peanut Butter Dog Treats. The ingredients used were really simple and easy – Peanut butter, wheat flour, baking powder, eggs and water.  The batter was made by simply whisking all the ingredients together, with the help of mummy’s beloved Kitchen Aid Mixer. Once thoroughly mixed together, mummy poured the batter into the tray and closed the maker tightly. After a good 15 minutes of waiting, a batch of four biscuits were ready! Unlike the store bought biscuits which are dry and hard, the home made dog biscuits were more like cakes and were soft and moist. (Which I kinda prefer actually) I couldn’t wait to start eating! Unfortunately for me, mummy insisted on the …

My Annual Health CheckUp!

Under the recommendation of my groomer, Happy Pets Grooming, Mummy brought me to my new vet, My Family Vet, located at Bukit Batok Avenue 4 (A really short walk from Grandmummy’s place!) And guess what, Mummy and I are both in love with Dr. Vanessa Lin! She’s really friendly, personal and extremely patient with the endless questions Mummy bombarded her with. With me, she was really gentle and sweet. (But again, it’s hard not to be when you see a cute face like me. Ho ho ho.) The main purpose of the visit was for my annual heartworm test.  No surprises, I am heartworm Free! I was allowed to take home my heartworm kit as a souvenir! (Mummy was quite fascinated by it and couldn’t wait to show Daddy while I couldn’t care less…) One Line = Heartworm Negative! After a good checkup, a blood test, tons of vaccination, we were good to go! Mummy was really proud of me for not whining nor crying when Dr. Lin examined me! Hee, of course I was greatly rewarded for my good …

The men of the households…

I obviously wear the pants in the Lim Household.  But, there’s another boss in the Loo Household – GrandDaddy (who apparently has even more say than me. -_-) So, I did what smart doggies do – I charmed him! And we became great friends! Or TV companions rather.  Hee, nothing beats spending a good weekend afternoon with GrandDaddy watching TV and getting endless tummy rubs. Sigh. Life~
