Sam’s Toy Review – Kong’s Traxx

Published by

On our recent trip to Petsmart, Mummy bought me yet another treat dispensing toy! (Hooray for Mummy!!) This time round, she chose one of our favorite brands – the Kong’s Traxx. I’ve had many toys, out of which kong toys have proven to be one of the toughest toys that had successfully resisted the S-monster! Let’s see if this stood up to the Sam- challenge!  Hee, a plus point of the toy is that it is also a great tool to take really cute photos! There is a depression in the middle of the tyre for mummy to insert the treats. Due to the odd shape, it was a little difficult finding treats that would fit in properly. Most of the treats just fell right out after mummy attempted to ‘stuff’ them inside the tyre. The best fitting treats turned out to be a square gummy that mummy bought from japan. And so the challenge begins.. After some tossing… and turning… most of the treats fell right out.  Except for one square yummy that fitted …

After a good swim…

I got to hitch a free ride home in my tote bag.  Thanks Daddy! I enjoyed the subway ride and the stroll through the Hells’ Kitchen Flea.  Crossing my paws and doing nothing felt awesome! Occasionally putting on an innocent face to win the attention of cute girls passerbys. Sigh, my life is good.

The Flower dog…

I attended my very first wedding. As I was specially flown to San Jose to meet Mummy’s HK relatives, including the bride (see, I’m THAT important), I was actually given a flower corset.  Yap, I get special treatments. =D Posing in front of the church where the lovely ceremony took place.  (Spot the bow tie mummy got from Target the night before!) A quick shot after the ceremony ended. And lastly, a “Sam as Puss-in-boots” shot. We had several photos taken with the bride, unfortunately, there are all with the professional photographer. I’ll upload them if I can get my paws on them. 

Sam’s Toy Review – Starmark Treat Dispensing Chewball

Published by

I am well-known to destroy toys. Hardly any toys of mine can survive the S-monster. So, mummy and daddy are always on a mission to find me THE toy. So far, so not good. (*Evil laugh*) Anyway, once again, Mummy and Daddy went toy shopping for me. This time, they bought me this amazing Starmark treat dispensing Chewball. Hee, mummy secretly told me that Daddy specifically chose it for me. (That’s a first!) Stupid mummy kept taking endless photos that I started getting sleepy just waiting.  She finally stopped and stuffed some treats into the ball. Ready? On your mark? Get set. GO! And the fun begins. This was actually a little more challenging than the kong toy I already have. I love the texture of the toy and how it rolls around spilling treats. Of course, mummy had a heck of a time laughing at me chasing after the rolling ball around the carpet.  The stupid ball even rolled under the bed. -_- When I finally got all the treats out after 10 minutes, …

Sam, the cyclist!

A new toy came in the mail today! It’s a buddy rider! It’s a bicycle seat for dogs, just like me.  When mummy and daddy bought their foldable bicycles a year ago, they were figuring ways on how I can tag along on their bike rides.  Running on a leash beside them was totally out of the question as I would probably get run over. The first thought was to mount a basket on the front of the bike. Unfortunately for me, I was a tad bit over the weight limit. (Boo~) So the idea was axed. NEXT! The second idea was to mount a basket on the bicycle rack. Mummy went online and found a Pet Rider Rear Seat. When it arrived, we were so disappointed to find that it was too big for the rack and ended up returning it. NEXT! The third idea was to buy a doggy backpack carrier, so that mummy can carry me on her back when she cycles. Mummy found the Outward Hound Backpack and gave it a try. …

A hot hot HOT place called Vegas..

The last leg of our west coast vacation was at Las Vegas as Daddy had to attend a work convention there.  Vegas? Me no like. Firstly, Vegas wasn’t as dog friendly as California was – no dog park along the strip, not welcomed indoors, no grass for me to run on! Secondly, I’m underage. No booze, no gambling. BOO. Thirdly, the weather was insanely warm! My poor little paws were burning, no thanks to the heat!  Sigh. Due to the crazy heat, my parents decided to walk along the strip around 8pm, kinda thinking that as the sun sets, the weather would improve. Sadly, it didn’t exactly help as we were all still melting from the heat. Anyway, we managed to stop by Bellagio just in time to catch the water show.  It was pretty spectacular, but I wasn’t exactly fond of the loud blasting sound. After enjoying the show, we walked along the strip and found a wishing fountain that resembled the Trevi Fountain in Rome. I tossed a little coin in, wishing for good …

Another awesome reason why I love the west coast!

While shopping @ Westfield Century City Mall in Santa Monica, LA, we came along the most awesome thing – a treat dispenser cum water fountain! How amazing is that? Unlimited treats for dogs and fountains of varying height! So thoughtful! I just wanted to munch on the yummy milk biscuit, but stupid mummy insisted that I pose to show my appreciation. What rubbish. After even more begging, I was finally awarded the yummy milkbone! Just making sure that no crumbs was left behind. That’s just another awesome reason why I love the west coast~
