Pecan Woods Loo Lim

Published by

It’s official.  I’m no longer the king of the household.  Mummy adopted (another) rough coat JRT over the weekend. Introducing Pecan Woods Loo Lim. Pecan is a feisty grumpy old lady (she’s 9 btw!) and growls at most dogs. Miraculously, we get along. Well, not the wrestling and tugging kinda get-a-long, but the “hey, we are cool” kind. We follow each other around the house, walk side by side and beg for food together.  Yeah, granted that there are the occasional growls, but all is cool the moment I roll over and surrender.  (I guess rolling over on my back the very first time we met also helped seal the deal)  She’s a little scrawny, so I look kinda fat beside her.  Sucks as I’m hearing talks behind my back that it’s time for me to go for a diet.  Boooo! Pecan is also a genki (healthy) ah ma! Mummy brought her to my favourite vet (Dr Vanessa) over the weekend and she’s given the all clear! (Daddy’s left with a hefty bill tho. Ho ho ho) The …

Ikea toys!

Published by

Who says that expensive toys are the best?  Actually, cheap stuffies can be just as much fun! On a recent trip to Ikea, Mummy scooped up some soft toys (these were originally meant for human kids) for me!  Hooray!!! Cheap, they are. Lousy, they are NOT! In fact, I’m loving them!! Introducing Blue, the long dog. shhh, (whispers) I know he looks funny. Don’t tell him cos that will upset him! This is Polar Beary. Hee, this silly bear thinks that my off-white coat is snow! Maybe that’s why he kept wanting to rest on my back.  This is Snakie! He prefers to rest on the top of my hand.  But personally, I prefer him in my mouth.  *Nom nom nom* And my favourite of the lot (partly because it is the biggest too): Ratatouille! Catching (during a game of fetch) him is extremely satisfying. Well, my ancestors were afterall bred to hunt rats (though I’ve to admit that I’ve close to zero natural instincts left in my blood. haizzz). Nonetheless, the joy I get from …

I am a Bread Dog!

Published by

What do you do with a slice of expired bread?  Toss it away? Nay… you use it to kajiao (disturb) your dog. 1. Use a circular cookie cutter to cut a perfect circle in the middle of the bread slice. 2. Lure your dog to put his snout through the huge hole.  3. Tadah~ You have a BREAD DOG! Hi, i am Sam, the bread dog. Mummy couldn’t stop laughing at how my whole face blended with the wholemeal bread.  Duh. PS: No dog was harmed, in fact, Mr Sammy Loo (which is me) received one too many treats for his good efforts. Plus, it was a ‘one-time-okay’ attempt and only one slice of bread was used. Most importantly, no filter or photoshop was used! 

A game of catch

Published by

I love catching the ball my parents toss in the air. I mean, nothing’s more exciting and challenging than precision and hang time.  More importantly, I’m so athletic it’s insane! All set and eyeing on the ball. Defying gravity! I aim… I jump… and I miss..  (sound effects: *Gua gua*) !#@!%#$%$#^#$%^@ The stupid ball bounced off my teeth.  Dang it. Oh well, I chased after it anyway and got my paws on it, eventually. Guess I’m not that big of an athletic afterall. At least I had fun. PS: This was taken in July at Marina Barrage. And yes, it’s dog-friendly!

I want to be an ah-sia dog!

Published by

During our staycation, we went by Quayside Isle for dinner and I absolutely love that place!! The boardwalk beside the marina was such an awesome place to stroll and just soak in the sunset. I got to meet a handful of dogs which were being walked by domestic helpers. Sigh, their lives are goood. Not only do they get a lovely stretch to mark every single day, they get to admire the gorgeous sunset too! Boo. *Thinks about screaming kids that laughs at me at the playground near our home* Shrugs. My life sucks. Oh well, at least Mummy treats me better than she treats Daddy.  Life’s not that bad afterall. *Smug look*

My staycation at Dog-friendly Capella!!

Published by

We used to go on plenty of road trips when we were based in NYC. Unfortunately for me, this came to an end when we moved to Singapore. One major reason is that there is a lack of pet friendly facilities in here. (boo!) When Mummy came to realise that Capella Sentosa was dog-friendly, she decided to book us a staycation! As it is a six-star hotel, a staycation certainly didn’t come cheap. There were several options for the types of room one can choose. Mummy pondered really hard and long before deciding to book the Garden Villa. Why? Because there is a PRIVATE POOL!  Hee, I was looking forward to it like nobody’s business!! We had to take a bugy ride to our villa.  (We come to realise that it was actually walking distance to the carpark, so after the first day, we decided to just stroll over.) My first bugy ride! The kind people there actually prepared a dog bed and bowl for me! And they even know to address me by my name.  …

From Bangkok with love..

Published by

My parents went for a short vacation to Bangkok.  Yes, they abandoned me. Nasty people right? Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time and I’m quite sure it won’t be the last.  Boo~ Anyway, as per all other trips, they came back with tons of loot for me! (It’s their way of compensation to me, and hey, I’m certainly not complaining!) The first and foremost – Treats. Tons and tons of treats. Hee, Mummy loves buying treats that ain’t available in Singapore to give me some variety! And yes, pizza is on the menu. *Wriggley dance* Of course, with mummy as the main shopper, non-sensical gifts are just part and parcel of my overseas souvenirs. I’m not fond of them in general, but whatever… Since I do look dashing in the bow-tie, I guess I will make do. Done with the usual, expected stuff. Time for some out of the box products! One of the highlights of the trip for Mummy is to check out thai designer dog products. And boy was she blown away! Introducing …

Samlion…

I went to Dr Vanessa Lin (my vet) once again for a blood test review (I’ve had three blood tests in the last 3 months as I was high is WBC and protein level and dehydrated. My WBC count returned to normal after one month but protein level remained consistently high).  The good news? I am officially given the bill of health! Yes, my protein level is finally normal! Hooray~ Just when I was basking in joy…. this happened. Yes. I am ringless. My gorgeous brown markings are gone (for now).  *Bursts into tears* Mummy noticed that I was scooting a lot and kept nipping at my butt area. She initially thought that I just needed my anal glands expressed. However, when she finally took a closer look, she was appalled to find that the bottom of my tail (nearest to my cute little tight butt) was sore from my incessant chewing.  Dr Lin wasn’t very pleased about it either and decided to shave me down to examine it further.  Thankfully, the area was small …

Dog Hash #3

Published by

We went for our 3rd hash experience last weekend. And it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E! My ballsy parents decided to let me off leash and I did everything I could to make them regret their decision to do so. How not to when Mummy and Daddy were so freaking slow and I was way ahead of them (and almost everyone else). Yes, I did hear a crazy woman screaming her lungs out (I think she was calling for “SAM” ?), but who gives a shit when the forest is just so exciting! How do you know if you had fun?  See how dirty you are. Check out my before and after.  *Proud Grinz* My best moment had to be when I was swimming in the long kang (canal). Believe it anot, I actually ran down that uber steep slope to get to the bottom of the drain. This is the best swim ever! Of course, one reason why I loved it was that my parents were pretty annoyed with having to chase after me as that meant that they …
