Like brother, like sister!

Unlike me, Pecan is a natural swimmer!  Well, at least with our family. While I may appear to an expert monkey rescuer, it took me a good four to five months (and alot of $$ and hard work) to get to where I am today.  On the contrary, Pecan actually jumped into the water and swam on her own on our very first visit to the dog pool.  Kudos! (Mummy: Yap, that puts fatty Sam to shame!) As Pecan doesn’t a life purpose while swimming, she would just go for a quick dip, before turning around and climbing out of the pool. Thus, to get her to swim and exercise more, I decide to take her under my fat wings and teach her the art of monkey rescue.  Unfortunately, Monkey is a tad bit big and heavy for her small frame. Luckily, I do have a stash of toys and we managed to find one that fits her fine perfectly  The Mr Spike Latex Toy! Yap, Pecan Woods Loo Lim is the official Monster Rescue! …

Bread-ed!

Published by

Hahahahahahhaha… Pecan got bread-ed! Unfortunately for her, being a JRT, she got blended into the wholemeal bread as well, just like me! Wahahahahahhaha…. Welcome to the family, Pecan. Who do you think make a better bread? Me me me!!

Made with Love – Parsley, Cheese & Carrot Dog Biscuits!

Published by

Inspired by Pecan’s horrid breath, Mummy wanted to make some treats that can help combat the odour. And when she came home today with a bag of ingredients, we started to get pretty excited.  Can’t help but wonder what Mummy had up her sleeves. As Mummy did not have her recipe books on hand, she simply googled Parsley treats for dogs and settled on the very first recipe she found! PS: Parsley is great for managing bad breath in dogs! Let’s get started! Here’s what she used: – Oats, Multi-purpose floor, cheddar cheese, carrots and of course, the star of the evening – Parsley. Mummy also found some silicon trays (two from Amazon and the others from Giant) that she could use to bake the cookies in. (Oh ya, Mummy used chicken stock instead of lactose-free milk) Being the senior, I was well aware of the baking procedure and was ready to go take a nap while waiting. But silly Pecan, being new and overly enthusiastic, decided to offer Mummy some help. Thankfully Mummy declined …

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 …

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’m a Burt’s Bee Dog!

Published by

Mummy is a huge fan of Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm as it miraculously kept her lips from cracking throughout the three years in NYC. (More importantly, it’s dirt cheap in CVS!) So, it came as no surprise that the moment my shopaholic insane  lovely Mummy realised that Burt’s Bees has developed their very own pets line, the Burt’s Bees Natural Pet Care, she just had to get her hands on them. Unfortunately, Burt’s Bees pets does not ship internationally. Even more tragic was that while Amazon does carry the items, they do not qualify for free shipping. So she spent the next few months whining and wondering who can she bother to help her bring the items back. Anyway, after months of ‘drooling’ over the products, Mummy decided to finally take the plunge and just pay for overpriced shipping (aka Vpost).  Yet another blow was that the items were sold by two different suppliers! (Well, fyi, Vpost charges by volumetric weight. Having two different boxes means that she will end up paying to ship some USA …

New Sheets!!

Published by

After what seems like forever, mummy finally got around to getting me new sheets for my Wanmock! Okay, I approve! What’s not to like when it’s my favourite colour and has a lame comic!  So me. *Wriggles butt* Mummy decided to use a “M” size shirt that Daddy bought from Bangkok. (Poor daddy had to sacrifice  a tee for me, but again, too bad lor~) It’s a great fit and the sheets are tight and taut, making it alot more comfortable to lay on. At least my fat backside isn’t sinking this time round.  *Pleased grinz* Okay, enough for now. I want to sleep.  Leave me alone.

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.  …

My origami pet dogs!

Published by

Grandma bought me a really cute book from the kids section of a bookstore – Doggie Divas Origami. Honestly, the cover of the book was too princessy and off-putting that I was a bit like ‘huh’ when I first got it (Mummy agrees). Despite the cover, we were both quite intrigued by the contents as this interesting read actually demonstrates how to fold origami dogs!  It even provides readers with pattern paper to fold specific dog breeds. There is also a sheet of stickers for you to customise your canines. Hee, you can choose eye colours for them! Mummy told me that I get to keep whatever I manage to fold as my pets. Hence, I was really excited and started examining the instructions right away.  I attempted to make myself a Schnauzer. Despite my nimble paws, my first try was a total flop.  My Schnauzer looked more like an elephant.  Boohoo~  Seeing how upset I was, Mummy stepped in and helped. And I did my part as the crafting duo by providing eye support.  …
