Our Green hike at the Green Corridor

Published by

For the first time in a very very blue moon, Mummy decided that she wanted to go for a hike with us. And of course, Daddy could not say no.  Hence, on a very bright Saturday morning, she woke up and dragged two sleepy dogs and one very sianz husband out of the house at 8.30am! (SHE NEVER WAKES UP BEFORE TEN ON SATURDAYS! THIS IS A MIRACLE)  Our destination was none other than Green Corridor! Mummy had heard great things about it from other dog owners and finally decided to explore the place for herself! The Green Corridor used to be a railway land connecting Singapore and Malaysia. After the train stations were relocated, the railway line began defunct. While plans on what to do with the space is still underway, in the meantime, it has been converted into an awesome cycling and pedestrian path connecting many green spaces together!  For a start, we decided to challenge the Bukit Timah Train Station-Holland Road stretch of the Green Corridor. We got Grandmummy to drop us off at Holland Road …

Our Birthday Treat – Pet Cruise

Published by

Our birthday came in three parts this year.  The awesome cake was just the icing. The second highlight of our special day was a…. PET CRUISE!  I mean..why not? Since both Pecan ah ma and myself are such huge fans of the water, Mummy thought it would be apt to bring us on a cruise out into the sea! How cool is that!! *Wriggly dance* Each dog is considered a passenger and the maximum capacity of the boat is ten. Any group with four or more is required to book the whole cruise.  Since there are four of us in total, we ended up having the whole boat to ourselves!  Mummy did invite a few friends to join us. Unfortunately, due to her extreme lack of communication (okay la, to her credit, she had been working late nights for the whole week prior to the cruise), none of her friends turned up. Boooo~ no give me face.  PUI. But it worked out great as that meant that we had more space to roam around!  Plus, …

Hard at work..

Published by

We absolutely adore the occasional few days that Mummy allows us to tag along to her office.  Each time we are there, we will certainly try to make ourselves useful. I’m a regular there and almost everyone in the office squeals in delight when they see me. How not to when I’m this cute. Sigh~ Pecan’s still kinda new but with her lovely human-friendly nature, she very quickly collected a fan base! (Mine still bigger la) Here’s what we do at work with Mummy! Play hide-and-seek! Thanks my mom-in-law for entertaining me. I heart Jager. Laze on people’s laps. Occasionally thanking them with a stinky fart or two, depending on what I ate the night before. The place where I’ve casted the most bombs had to be on Auntie JY’s desk. Hohoho And hiding in cupboards. As for Pecan, she still isn’t terribly comfortable with the office, hence, she pretty much just sits around either with Mummy or Auntie Lynne.  And when we are tired, we retreat to our makeshift respite corner for a snooze. …

Dogs’ day out – Anthesis

Published by

It’s been a while since we had a good family brunch at a new place (Don’t worry, my parents are still bringing me out on weekends, just that we have been revisiting the same few places). To welcome Pecan, as well as to have a sense of how she does outside, Mummy and Daddy brought us to a new Sam-welcomed place for a goood brunch.  Deciding where to go was easy. Mummy chose Anthesis as it was the pet-friendly venue for the Dec/Jan issue of the magazine.  Daddy parked along Kim Seng Road and we strolled over. Introducing Anthesis! Absolutely dog-friendly as we were even served a pink bowl with water to beat the heat. Sigh, pink really isn’t my colour. Suits Pecan more. My happy family!  (Daddy’s typical sian face as usual. haha) Service was quick and we got our food quickly. Mummy ordered a Tuna Tataki Sandwich (which she loves, but again, anything with avocado can’t go wrong for her).  Daddy ordered Eggs 3-way which is great for people who can’t quite decide how …

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!

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.  …

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 …

Sam by the river…

Published by

It has been a while since we headed out for a nice Sam-welcomed brunch. Since it was Daddy’s birthday, we just had to pamper ourselves and set out for a family meal. Deciding where to go was easy. Mummy was introduced to eM by the River by some taitai friends of hers. On her first visit there, she was pleasantly surprised to see two (overly) yappy poodles chilling out on the couches in the indoor space while their owners enjoyed their lunch. Since then, she has been mentioning that she wanted to bring me here. Guess she finally found the right time to. Daddy preaching (*yawns*) while we were waiting to be seated. Although we didn’t make reservations, we were pretty lucky to be seated beside the river. Mummy was actually hoping to be indoors where I can actually chill on the couch. Unfortunately, the indoor seatings are designed for bigger groups.  Maybe next time. Happy me with my parents.  Geesh, they both needa work on their hair…  Enjoying the lovely weather and good river view. …

Wooga-ing…

Published by

The two weeks Grandmummy’s previous helper went home for a visit (and never came back), Mummy sent me to my very first daycare in Singapore – WOOGA! It took Mummy a long long long LONG time to decide upon a daycare. When we were in NYC, there were tons of quality daycare (although prices can be a little steep) within walking distance of our apartment and finding one was easy breezy. However, in Singapore, the daycares’ quality just did not meet Mummy’s expectations. Despite spending a good month or so researching and looking around, none caught her eye. A couple that she did like were either too expensive or just too out of the way. Till she finally stumbled upon Wooga!  So why Wooga? 1. Vicinity (it’s just 5 minutes drive away) 2. Affordability ($26 for up to 12 hours!) – Mummy had to drop me off at 7am to rush off to work and pick me up at close to 7pm, so the long hours and affordability were godsend. 3. Plenty of walks and playtime – …

My (Kiddo) Agility Trial!

Published by

Mummy and Daddy woke up early one Saturday and brought me to the K9 Park at Nex! Waking up early is a challenge for lazy mummy and sammy (especially on a weekend), but to beat the notorious horrid parking at the mall, we had no choice but to reach there around 10.30am. Lucky for us, there were still some parking lots and no other dogs at the Dog Run, which means it’s all mine! (Well, at least for the half hour I was there) We decided to try out the course to put my rusty agility skills to practise (I attended a introductory agility class in NYC when I was a year old). First stop:  The Dog walk This was a piece of cake, but I certainly needed some motivation. Of course, Mummy was well prepared as usual and brought one of my latex squeaky toy! Attempt number 1 was perfect! After a few tries, I was loving the run up the dog walk! By the end of about five tries, I got kinda bored …
