Sam’s Pick for X’mas : Torus Bowl

Published by

X’mas is just around the corner and it’s the season to pamper yourself! So, of course our shopaholic Mummy (she’s only addicted to dog-related items though) decided to spoil us (actually, it’s herself) with presents!  Yap, this is just the first of many.  #theburntholeinpocketbelongstodaddy #don’tthinkheknowsyet #let’shopedaddydoesn’tseethis  Anyway, new products always catches Mummy’s eyes. Hence, when Wooga shared that they are bringing a new drinking bowl, Mummy just had to get her hands on it.  Well, for Christmas she said. #anythingalsochristmasla #whycantChristmasbeamonthlyaffair Introducing the Torus. #mustdressupfortheocassion #ilooksowhiteandcleancosstupidmummydontknowhowtousehercamerasetting #whitewashedsam For once, we can officially say that it is not just another drinking bowl. #butwearestilladdingabowltoourcollectionof12311bowls #okayIexaggerated #wehaveabout20bowls The Torus comes with a drinking fountain, a water storage area and a valve with three settings (lock, for pouring water in and for dispensing water). All you have to do is to fill water directly into the storage area, turn the valve to the dispensing option and viola~ It also comes with a replaceable filter containing activated carbon to help reduce flavours and trace elements. Because of it’s unique design, …

Our X’mas countdown

Published by

December is possibly one of our favourite months of the year. (We love Jan, August, Sep too!) Because… Christmas is around the corner! Woohoo~ #wewelcomeallsortsofchristmaspresent #pleasesendthemourway Awesome mummy decided to kickstart celebrations a tad early by getting us Advent Calendars from Barking Good! #dontaskmewhatanadventcalendaris #thisismyfirsttimehearingaboutit #butgotfoodwhocares Thank you Auntie Dionne for delivering them to our doorsteps. #wepaidherwithtailwags Most of our stuff are in storage, hence, the pathetic setup.  #lifesuckslivingoutofsuitcases Anyway, we did what most people would do and googled the term “advent calendar”. Turns out that it’s a special calendar to count the days in anticipation to X’mas! And an awesome one is one that houses little gifts to be opened up each day! #theyshouldhaveafestivalattheendofeverymonthlor #whatanawesomecreation Gosh, why did we not learn about this awesome sh*t earlier??? We opened up the package and did a sniff test.  As well as a thorough count to make that Auntie Dionne didn’t shortchange us. Slight problem.. what comes after ten? #wecannotcountforourlives So I decided to hold Santa hostage and get Mummy to do the counting for us. #countorIwilleatsanta …

How we spent our saturday…

Published by

While lazy bums were still lazing in bed, these two early worms (one fat, one smelly) had already gotten a ton of exercise under their waistlines belts. #yapourlazymummyactuallymanagedtodragherbuttoutofbed #itwasamiracle Yap, this was how we spent our weekend – running around our favourite dog park, playing fetch. Well, to be exact, one dog was working the fetch.  The other was just… blocking the way. #fetchlastillgottimesmileatcamera #cannotbelieveshecanbesocameraready But again, I am such a pro and ah ma has zilch chance la. It’s no wonder she isn’t usually interested in vying with me. #cannotwinsaysola #nochancelor #yayasam  Look at this cowboy go man. #sopowerright Concentration. Concentration. Of course, when there are good days, there will be bad days. #shithappens #alamak Hey, but I’m still darn good k. #arrogantbrat Don’t you just feel like slapping this yaya face? HEHEHEHEHEHE… Since Pecan has no chance in even getting near to the ball with me around, she decided to just fool around with the camera instead. #goofygranny #四连拍  We did come a long way from home to get here (our house too …

A ride in a beetle

Published by

We were invited by Volkswagen Singapore to take one of their cars for a test drive. Although our trusty Gin has been pretty reliable for the past year, Mummy was more than glad to ditch him for the weekend for a sleeker ride. #soheartlesshor Hence, there was no way we could even refuse the offer! #mummyisindeedcheapo We stopped by the showroom to pick up our ride and also took the opportunity to ‘mark’ our territory around the vicinity. HEHEHEHEHE #sorrynotsorry Our shallow Mummy was blown away the moment our ride drove up.  But to be honest, it was difficult not to be. Afterall, it was none other than the iconic Volkswagen Beetle! #sostunnedthatsheactuallyforgottotakepictureofitlor How chic is this???? Although the stars decal was part of their design for the recent Night Festival, Mummy loved how it added a extra touch of pizzazz to the already stylish Beetle. #isworeshewasgrinningwhiledrivingitlor #maybethat’showunclesinferrarisfeel #theyayafaceofhers To be honest, we were secretly enjoying how this compact ride turns heads and corners equally well.  #showingoff We were as excited about the Beetle as she was.  Until we …

Sam tested: QuickGrab

Published by

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 …

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 …
