Sam tested: Ohiyo Pets

Published by

We were very honoured to be invited by Auntie QY to test out a basic grooming session at Ohiyo Pets. And seriously, the invite couldn’t come at a better time.  We were a week away from our family photoshoot and cheapo Mummy was just about to groom us herself. #lifesaver  So, thank you Ohiyo Pets for this timely invitation!! #cannotimaginehowwewilllookifmummygroomedusherself #disasterevaded #phew “Oi, some privacy please?” #stupidmummy Opened in May this year, Ohiyo Pets is located at 3 South Buona Vista Road (around Pasir Panjang). While the decor isn’t overly elaborated, we definitely like how clean and neat the place is! #samandpecanapproved (Photo source: Ohiyo Pets) While the cleanliness of a grooming salon is an important factor, what matters even more to Mummy was that she got to stay throughout the grooming session.  In fact, it’s really something pet parents should do at each new grooming place! Not only does it help to calm your furkids down, you can even start snapping Instagram-worthy pictures! #posingwhilegroomingisaskillhor After we got cleaned and clipped, we were sent to …

Sam @ School

Published by

I recently started Day School at Puppy Colours. To no one’s surprise, I earned the rank of a troublemaker after just one day. I guess they don’t call us Jack Rascals or Jack Russell Terrors for nothing. #iamsuchanangelwhytheysayinaughty Blending in like a boss. Can’t tell that it’s only my second day at school huh? #Iisanatural #highEQislikethatone Sam, the school troublemaker.  One look at my adorable naughty face and you will know why I am able to earn this honourable title so effortlessly. #whygotdogsocuteone #yayasam #fiftyfacesofsam I may be the oldest kid in school, but I definitely ain’t the best behaved. But oh well, they still adore me to bits. #andsoithinkla Photo credit: Puppy Colours Yap, in case you can’t tell, school days are a blast! Can’t wait to head back next week, #hengmyschoolnohomeworkorexamone #that’swhysofun

Our family photoshoot

Published by

While our parents ain’t really the phototaking/selfie kinda people, Mummy insists on a family photoshoot tradition.  This means that with the addition of a new family member, there must be a photoshoot. When our parents got hitched, they did one. When they got the absolutely adorable world cutest me, we did one in NYC. So now that we’ve ah ma, it’s time for yet another one. #musthurrydobeforeahmaXXX #choy Mummy and Daddy hired Uncle Terry from One Eye Click for their pre-wedding and actual day shoot. She was so pleased with the experience that she knew instantly that she wanted Terry to photograph our future milestones.  In fact, she was super tempted to fly him to NYC for our shoot there. Of course stingy Daddy put a stop to it. #mustprotecthisownpocketma Instead, Mummy found an amazing photographer, Auntie Melissa to do it. But now that we’re back in the little Red Dot, there was no doubt that Uncle Terry had to be the guy! So six years and two furkids later,  here goes… #noneedlovela #twodogsenoughliao Mummy …

Sam’s Pick: Animology

Published by

The kind people at Pet Lovers Centre dropped us an email to ask if we were keen to review their products. You know we’ll never say no. #cheapomummy #neversaynotofree #daddypockethappy This time, we tried our paws on one of PLC’s exclusive products –  the Animology Shampoo. All the way from the UK, it is an multi award winning brand that is trusted by groomers and animal care professionals around the world!   Mummy is a sucker for branding. So she was sold the instant she saw the packaging. #canbemoreshallowanot Besides that, there is a wide range of products for dogs of all sizes, skin and coat types. We were so spoilt for choice that Mummy took so long to decide which two products to test out. #indecisivewoman After like FOREVER, she decided to give the White Wash Shampoo a shot. It is specially concocted for white dogs and has been developed using a low foam formula that makes it quick and easy to rinse while reducing the chances of any irritation. It also comes with …

Cushion us!

Published by

We all know Mummy is kinda obsessed with us. #thatisanunderstatementlor And I’m sure if she can choose, she would keep us on the couch as decor. #wetoocutela #wemakethebesthomeaccents Plus, she wants to be able to hug us day and night… #omgnojustno But we all know it’s impossible. (Phew~) #shecanconsidertaxidermisinguswhenwepass #iamsuredaddywilldivorceherthen So she decided to settle for the next best thing. And it comes in a box…. Peek-a-boo… Ta~dah! Introducing the cushion version of us! Mummy first saw this illustrator on Dog-Milk and immediately wanted one, i mean two.  She had always wanted a pillow version of us and did go as far as to print a silk-screen version of me. However, she realised that the end product is highly dependent on the quality of the photo. And since she is a sucky photographer, of course it didn’t turn out very well. Hence, these cushions from Kara Burke are a win-win. Firstly, she gets yet another illustration of us. #thereisnosuchthingastoomany Secondly, she gets to hug the cushion version of us! #hengah #noneedtocuddlewithherinthisshittyheat Well, since these cushions …

Doggie Workout with K9FITbone

Published by

A recent visit to the vet confirmed Mummy’s fears… Pecan ah ma’s body isn’t quite keeping up. #sheis12yearsoldnot12monthsoldma  While it isn’t falling apart just yet, her joints are starting to display signs of stiffness. #abouttimela The vet advised Mummy to minimise Pecan’s climbing of stairs and unnecessary jumping. Plus, should she show any signs of tiredness or reluctance to walk when we’re out, we should allow her to rest. #idothatallthetimehowcomemummystillmakemewalk #lifenofair Other than that, we were also sent home with the first of many bottles of glucosamine. To be honest, Pecan is really an energetic ah ma and she is way more active than I am. #iamnotlazy #iamjustchill In addition, Mummy has done a couple of steps to keep her active and healthy. Maintain lean weight –  Checked #hengispecannotme #elseminewilluncheckandiwillbeputonadiet #hengman Swimming – Checked. Despite that, Mummy is still a tad worried that her little body might not keep up with her in future. So, kiasu Mummy started doing some research on how else to strengthen her joints and muscles. And with the recommendation from …

A Fuzzy Sleepover

Published by

It’s been a while since we did something fun in our lives. To spice our boring lives up a little, Mummy decided to throw us a sleepover party! Hence, she asked us to invite our friends to join us. But hor, we don’t really have many friends. #nothankstopecan #myfriendsareinNYC #weemocosoursleepoverlookspossiblyboring Oh well, so we decided to make do and invited our three FuzzYard troublemaker friends! Say hi to Electra the Unicorn, Aussie Shoo and Sushi the Fish. Since it’s a party, it was a must to wear hats. #theunicornnohatcosthehorntoohigh We spent our whole evening chilling and chatting about our lives. (Screams: BORING) And that was when we started to hear grumbling sounds coming from our little tummies. Well, I mean a sleepover isn’t really a sleepover without some yummy snacks! Thankfully Mummy was thoughtful enough to prepare some desserts for us. Since Shoo was our guest, we gave him the first sniff. #youbetterdontpooptherelor #elselateryounoheaddontblameme He took a tad longer than we liked, so Pecan ah ma decided to protest. #didntknowhermouthsobigone Mummy allowed us to pick …

Pet IC for dogs

Published by

By a huge stroke of luck, I completed my second paying gig (hehehe..secret for now) yesterday! To celebrate my fat little paycheck (or so I think, Daddy let out a pffft when he saw it though), I decided to buy the freeloader Pecan ah ma a round of drinks. #gotmoneygotsay #daddycannotlookdownonmeanymore #samthebreadwinner And of course, nothing beats a nice cold beer with some dog-friendly green lipped mussels from K9 Natural in this awful weather. #enjoyinglife #celebrationsmustwearhatone #elsenootherchancetowearthem So we did have a little more to drink…  and possibly got a little tipsy and probably a little noisy. #notdrunkjusthigh I guess we did disturb the people, erm, I mean person around us a little.  #whoelsebutgrumpydaddy #oopsydaisy #whoaskhimsleepintheroomneverclosedoor #notreallyourfaultleh Not only did he give us a huge disapproving look, he started chiding us for underage drinking. #guiltylook But hey, wait a minute. We ain’t actually underage! I mean Pecan is after all a granny and me, I’m a handsome mature dude. To prove Daddy wrong, Mummy decided to whip out proof in the purest form – our …

Dog-friendly staycation at the Regent

Published by

So I admit.  I’ve been experiencing some sort of a writer’s block.  That clearly explains the lack of post in the recent weeks. #dontgiveuponme #thewriterinmeneedsabreakla To help me recharge and re-gather my creative juices, our parents decided to check us into a dog-friendly hotel for a short getaway. Wheeeeeee….. This time… they chose The Regent Singapore for our dog-friendly staycation! The Regent Singapore allows up to two dogs per room, with a combined weight of not exceeding 35kg 15kg. (APOLOGIES: We initially thought that it was 35kg as that was mentioned to us by the staff whom we spoke to over the phone. The kind people from Regent’s PR team dropped us an email to clarify that the weight limit is actually 15kg instead. Sorry about that!) #blurmummy #mybad Oh oh, best part of all, there isn’t any additional charges for having a pet (as cute as me) in the room. #daddy’spocketissmiling Check-in was easy breezy. The only difference was that we had to fill up a pet policy form. To make things even easier, …

Car Safety 101

Published by

Okay la, this isn’t exactly Car Safety 101.  Mummy recently made some changes to the way we travel in the car and guess what…  we’re absolutely loving it! This was how we used to ride – shotgun.  And we absolutely loved it, even though our combined weight always triggers the annoying seatbelt warning beep.  Hehehehe… #inotfat #Iisbigboned #itispecan’sfault Best part of car rides then, was when we got to peep out and enjoy a nice breeze. Sam: “The guy is eating an ice-cream!!!” Pecan: “Where? Where?” But things ain’t the same in the Loo Lim Household anymore. #boohoohoo It started with a convo between Mummy and Auntie Kristina (Pecan’s trainer). Auntie Kristina was sharing about how a car seat restraint for her dog possibly saved his life when she got into an accident with him in the car.  And that got Mummy thinking.  In addition, Mummy always judges people who let their kids (especially toddlers and infants) sit on their laps, instead of on child seats. #thatgrindshergears Of course, she would quietly remind herself that …
