Our home – work in progress!

So, we finally got the keys to our new place in February this year and reno works started in March. Welcome to our new un-done place! #payusintreatstoenter We’re really excited to move in. Come on, just look at our new improved view. How can you not be excited? #countingcarswillbemypasttimesoon Now staying at home won’t be as boring as it used to be! As our new apartment is a resale unit, there is a substantial amount of renovation works that needed to be done. And again, Mummy is kinda demanding. #poordaddy #hispocketsemptyliao The before. #mummyreallydislikesthehideousmarbletiles #butwelikeleh As our parents will be up their necks in work over the next few months, we offered to be the project managers for the reno! #finallyearningourkeep We sniffed around to see what works needed to be done and did our best to convey it to our contractor. Work in progress! Yap, we are literally tearing everything apart. #howcanmummythinkthattisisnotamajorreno #delusionmummy To ensure that the works are up to our standards, we popped by frequently for site checks. Besides checking on the …

Sam’s Pick – My Pet IC (Version II)

Remember when we showed off our very own Identification Cards last year?  #wegotcardedforhavingalcohol Guess what? After almost a year, it was time to change ICs! And gosh, how timely it is as we could actually update our address to our new place! #youchangeICwhenyouhit30 #wechangeourseveryyear  Yap, My Pet IC refreshed the design of their IC tags and was really awesome to send each of us a new ICs! We were really excited to check out the new version! Wait Mummy, we should have the first look. #don’tcutqueuemummy #letusseefirst Showing off our new tags! #tryingtomatchtheexpressionofmyphoto We really liked the first version but agreed that there was room for improvement. Hence, we were really thrilled to see how the new ones addressed some of our earlier concerns. For one, it’s smaller in size and appears sturdy. So we needn’t worry that it might snap during rough and tumble. The tag now hangs horizontal (as opposed to vertical initially). With that, even when the ring remains the same size, the tag doesn’t hang too low. And our favourite new …

What’s up?

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….

Sam’s Pick – Zee.Dog Accessories

For my birthday this year, our dearest sponsors, Howlistic Life, showered me and Pecan ah ma with products from one of their new brands, Zee.Dog! #freethingsequalstohappymummy #yalaourmummyisacheapo #happymummyequalshappydogs We’re clearly too spoilt for choice! We decided to try on the harnesses for starters. Sam is wearing the Chewy Mesh Plus Harness while Pecan’s donning the Barracuda Mesh Plus Harness. Careful hor, I’ll bite like the sharks on my harness. #suddenlysomanly “Ah ma, there is a fly on your nose!” The harnesses were really comfortable and fitted us nicely.  (We both wear an S) We loved how edgy the Skull logo looked and it turns out to be functional as well – it helps hold the stitches together. While we loved the harnesses, Mummy noted that it might not be great for dogs that pull a great deal (aka Pecan).  #pecanahma’slifemissionistopullontheleashandbarkateveryone Nonetheless, these eye-catching harnesses will serve as great outfits for parties or outings. Well, next up. Of course the birthday boy gets the next pick. More sharks please! JAWRRR.. erm, I mean RAWRRR I love …

I turned SIX – My first celebration!

Well, if you think my birthday is just over like that, you are so so so wrong. #dontforgetmummyisobsessedwithmelor #mybirthdayisahugethinghor Lucky for me, the actual day fell on a school day! (I go to dog school at Puppy Colours every tuesday.) School started off as per normal. And that means hanging out with my classmates and getting into trouble . #happyfacesallaround After all the fun and learning, it was the best part of the day –  My birthday Celebration. Mummy ordered a rainbow cake from The Barkery.  #mummyisdabest #nowallmyclassmatesknowhowoldIam #iamyoungatheart While I am usually a red meat eater, Mummy decided to go for a lighter flavour and chose fish instead. Besides a cake, Mummy also ordered one of my all-time favourite treats (Salmon & Brocoli Paws) from Barking Good as birthday favours for my classmates to bring home. #luckydogs #goodthingsmustsharema Eyeing my cake and planning how to section my stomach to finish the whole thing. #hehehehe Turned out the whole cake wasn’t just for me. #boohoohoo Of course the birthday boy gets the first bite! #whydobirthdaysonlytakeplaceonceayear Enjoying my …

We shall see.

Our modelling gig

We’re adding the title of blogshop models under our belts. #seenowweareatrueblueblogger #wearemodelstoolikethoseprettybloggersleh Hehehe.. Well, technically, ohpopdog isn’t a blogshop. It’s an etsy shop. #samesamelaWhen the kind people from ohpopdog asked if they could use us as models for their latest collection, Mummy said YES!We have been fans of their products for a while and we really love all the gorgeous pics that they post on their instagram account.And boy oh boy, after we saw the end products for the shoot, we’re over the moon with how everything turned out.Photo Credits: ohpopdog Matchy-matchy with Pecan.#nowwelooklikeacouple #ohman Damn, I am such a natural.  Ah ma needs to be more sensitive to the camera though. #whyisahmastaringintospace #roomforimprovement Okay, I admit, Pecan does look kinda adorbs in the outfit. #shelookslikeaschoolgirl #noIamNOTfallinginlovewithher Just a chirpy little boy! #sohappysocute Seriously, the photographer deserves a huge thumbs up for making me look so stud. #alotofpeoplewhosawmerecentlysayifat #thedifferencethecameraanglemakes Mummy is super impressed by how nice the photos turned out. After all, there wasn’t any overly flashy equipments.  All done with a simple DSLR. Photo …

Our pick for Stalker Mummy – the Petzi

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 …

Happy 12th Birthday Ah ma!

September 14 2015 was a special day. It was the day that the ancient one (aka Pecan ah ma) turned TWELVE. #omg #whatahugenumber #icanonlycounttoten As usual, birthdays in the Loo Lim Household are a big thing. Well, kinda, only if you’re the beloved furkids. The parents get zilch celebration. #spoiltbrats So, it was party mood all week! Woohoo~ The birthday girl in her bathing suit. #omgagain #oldwomanactyoung It started off with the customary grooming session. #thisonewebothnothappyabout #enoughairtomakeathirddog Photo credit: Wooga This was no usual grooming though.  We actually went for a handstripping session. I’ve been handstripped before and was supposed to be quite accustomed to it.  However, it was Pecan’s virgin handstripping. Hence Mummy was a tad concern that she wouldn’t do well. #sooldstillvirgin #HEHEHEHEHEHE In the end, Pecan did beautifully. Me, on the other hand, cried ‘father and mother’ (even grandmother) when I was being stripped. #asusualsamistherascalofthetwo Mummy was so embarrassed when Auntie Shiting and Auntie Ashley told her that. Oh, in case you’re wondering if it hurts, it really doesn’t. I was just …

Sam tested: QuickGrab

We’ve reviewed treats and services, but certainly not poop bags. Hence, when Auntie Sue Ann dropped Mummy an email about reviewing QuickGrab Fragranced Dog Litter Disposal Bags, she just couldn’t say no! #mummyisacheapola #anythingfreeshealsowant I guess it’s always fun to try something different out. #ifyougiveusfreecupcakeswewillreviewANYTHING As a pup, I used to have a habit of eating poop.  Not my own poop, but other dog’s.  And I loved mine fresh out of the ‘oven’. I actually ran to a pooping Doberman and stood behind his butt to catch the fresh bake that was coming out of the ‘tap’. #mummywasscreamingherlungsoffwhenthathappened #thiswasthereasonwhymyparentsdontletmelicktheirfaces #theystilldontallowme Of course, Mummy wasn’t impressed a bit. Plus, she even earned the title of poop picker by her friends as the first thing she would do when she entered any dog runs was to pick up lying piles. I guess this was when she developed a preference for good poop bags and is really particular about them. She used to use Dogs on Board poop bags and recently switched to Earth Rated Poop Bags. Like me, they are …
