Must love Jacks…

Published by

Every time someone asks Mummy about why she decided on Jack Russells out of the many breeds, she would let out a resigned sigh, take a deep breath and express regret. Then, she would start ranting about our countless antics, e.g. too hyper, feisty, small-dog-syndrome, blah blah blah.  What la~ So not fair right? JRTs are the best breed ever lor.  So to our defense, let me and Pecan ah ma tell you what an awesome breed we are. To begin with, we are super intelligent. So smart so that we can do things on command. Mummy: “Smile Sam~” Sam: “Ay ay~” We can even nod in agreement with your philosophical views. We have the best begging faces. So please don’t bother saying no to us. Wahahahhaha.. We live life and know the best ways to distress. Such as by having a drink or two. (FYI, I’m legal k. I’m four doggie years old, which equates to 28 in human years!) OR  simply sleeping our lives away on our nice cushion… though we secretly prefer …

Behind the scenes…

Published by

Blogging is no easy task.  And I’ve to do it all by myself. While Mummy is the officially lousy photographer and the idea spinner, I have to do all the editorial work myself. That being said, Mummy does lend me a hand occasionally (usually for Mummy’s notes). As for Daddy, he just doesn’t give a hoot.  Thankfully, writing entries after entries is not at all a challenge for my smart little brain.  But what I do require is a little privacy while my paws type away. I mean, nothing beats silence and being left alone for my creative juices to flow.  Obviously Mummy thinks otherwise. zzzzz Shall try to ignore her and continue to proof-read my entry… But it just doesn’t feel right with a pair of eyes constantly looking at me. Grrrrrr… Luckily, Mummy got my hint and decided to leave me alone for the next thirty minutes.. and Viola~  A new entry is up! Done! A happy less grumpy Sam! It’s tough being a dog blogger. But I’ve to admit, the rewards are …

Jacks in a basket

Published by

Running out of ideas for birthday/get-well-soon/congratulatory presents? Why not get a Jack-in-a-basket then? Not only is it packed with tons of cuteness and love, it is guaranteed to bring a smile on the face of your loved one. Instantly. Choose between a PEE-KEE-PIE HAMPER Lightweight and compact, it comes with a treat-powered tail that wags 24/7 and on command.  Simply say “PECAN” (in the most excited voice you can squeeze out of your throat) and you will send that little stub wagging for as long as you stare at her, with a smile of course. Great for kids, families and even the elderly. WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM OTHER DOGS Or a.. SAM-MO-MO HAMPER This is an absolute “value for your money” purchase (all 7.8kg of it comes at a fixed price). Adorable and shameless, he will beg endlessly for tummy rubs by laying on his back, anywhere and anytime. He will even do his repertoire of up to 10 tricks with just a treat in your hand without a single command required. Simply show it …

Sam’s weight loss Diary – Day 1

Published by

My annual checkup with Dr Vanessa brought shitty news to my parents.  In a span of just less 1.5 years, I’ve grown from 5.8kg to.. *Drum rolls* 7.3kg! OMG That’s like 20% of my body weight!!!! BUT BUT BUT… before everyone panics, hush. Dr Vanessa added that my sexy waistline is still prominent. Hence, I AM STILL OF ACCEPTABLE WEIGHT! It’s just that, maybe it’s for the better of everyone that I try my best not to gain any more weight. Of course, meando Daddy took the opportunity to call me Fatty. Boooo~ As for Mummy, she decided it’s time for me to go on a diet. Less treats, less food, more exercise. (I’m only agreeable to point number 3, I veto the other two.) To get started, I decided to join Mummy on her Fitness Blender programs.  We started with Fitness Blender’s Puppy Workout. Unfortunately, stupid Mummy couldn’t concentrate and kept laughing.  Tsk tsk tsk. I was so focused lor. Oh well, I shall venture on my own then. I’ve put on my shoes …

Hiking with dogs @ Hort Park!

Published by

We’re just a little over the Green Corridor. I mean, how not to when you visit it 3 times in less than one month.  Hence, Mummy decided to explore something different. So, we went to… the Hort Park! We invited a special friend to come along today.  While waiting for him, we stood around and stalked the koi fish. Introducing our playmate for the day – Keyser!  Hee, while it’s not the first time he is on my blog, it is his virgin feature in Singapore! Yaps, Keyser is my best bro from NYC! We’ve been best buddies (he even came for a stay over) when we were in the Big Apple. He came back six months after I did and this is the second time we caught up with each other! Mummy was a little concerned about how ah ma would react around Keyser.  But to everyone’s surprise, the two of them didn’t give a hoot about each other and that worked out great! Within minutes (they did scream at each other for a …

Our Yoghurt beards..

Published by

Mummy had some leftover yoghurt and she decided to give us some. It was the best thing EVER!! We licked and licked and licked and licked… so much so that we actually ended up with… YOGHURT BEARDS! After wayy too soon, we had licked the cup sparkingly clean. We really couldn’t be bothered with what Mummy was laughing non-stop at. (Crazy woman) We just wanted more yoghurt! We did what we do best: put on our begging puppy eyes.  We even added some lip-smacking actions to up our begging powers. After way too long, (and our crazy mummy still laughing) I came to realise that there was nothing left. Booooooooo~ Pecan ah ma naively continued trying (she tried really hard too) and me, well, just my usual pissed off face. “Why you buy so little?!” Booooo~ WE WANT MORE YOGHURT!!!

Groomed!

Published by

I was still wondering if there was any special occasion today as we started the day a little differently.  Our usual weekday morning routine includes Mummy dragging herself out of the bed. Then she drags me out of bed. She brings us for a quick pee and loads us into the car. She’ll then drive to Grandmummy’s place, drop us off and head to work. And we will spend the rest of the day rotting away. But it was different today.  First, we got to sleep in late. Then, Mummy brought us for a nice long walk in the morning. We came back for a yummy brekkie and Mummy even gave us some of her sausage bun. And, the best part of all, we went swimming~  Wheeeeee~ All on a weekday! Of course, just when I was wondering if it is my birthday again or something like that, I started to realize what was going on. Yap, a grooming session that is. I’m not a big fan of grooming.  And thankfully, it happens only once …

The aftermath of Pet Expo

Published by

Sorry for the lack of posts.  The reason is simple. This is how I look for the past five days. Acting cute and being the centre of attention for three consecutive days sure is tough.  If you think I look like crap, you should see Mummy. But to spare you the agony of having nightmares from looking at how zombified she is, I’ll just put another one of my half-dead look. I’m recharging and should be back to my chirpy self soon. Meanwhile…zzzzzz

Mummy’s Nth Shopping Spreeeee~

Published by

Huge parcels arrived at our doorsteps today. And judging by past experiences, there must be something awesome inside for us. We put on our best behaviour for the night and waited impatiently for our surprises… And after dinner, our gifts unfold one after another. It started off with something kinda blah… Yet another Kurgo seat protector. We already had the khaki one, but Mummy wanted to get one for our own ride. Boring~ Next please. Mummy’s next purchase was a Canine Friendly Pet First Aid Kit! Not only does it come in a nice and compact packaging, it is equipped with items we need in case of an emergency. There’s a First aid instruction manual as well! In fact, Daddy the medic was pretty impressed and commented that our first aid kit is even more comprehensive than the human ones they have at home. #thingscrazymumsbuy Thankfully those were the only crappy items since they were of very little value to us. Best of all, the rest of the purchase were rather amazing! A purchase for us …
