We’re moving!

Published by

Like for real. Not the blog hor. #wemovingfromululandtocivilisation So, in less than a month, I will no longer be Sam, the HDB dog and Pecan will no longer be ‘illegal’. Hehehe #shenotillegalla #shebelongstograndmummy #likeanyonewillbelieve While the move is extremely exciting, the packing is…. blah~ And if you see the way our Mummy packs, I think you will vomit blood. #mummyisaclosethoarder I guess that’s why our parents have decided to hire a professional moving company that provides packing and unpacking services.  #ifnotIthinktheywillneverbedone #lazytothemax  Unlike our parents, we’re responsible kiddos. Like good doggies, we spent our whole weekend packing! Ah ma being a girl obviously has more things and a wayyyy bigger suitcase. #mysuitcaseonlyhastreats #pecanfinallykeptallhersqueakytoys See.. Moving is so easy breezy… And so you think… If you seriously believed that’s all we have, you obviously haven’t been reading our blog enough. Because… just beds alone… this is what we really have.. #lookslikethishouseholdgot10dogslor Ah ma and the pea. LOL The irony of all this…  is that, while we have all these cushiony comforts, our favourite sleeping spot (in the …

Our little thoughts

Published by

Mummy has been so busy with work and falling sick that we’re starting to feel a tad neglected. Oh well, so me and Pecan decided to let our thoughts be heard with the help of a little illustration.. And guess what.. Great minds think alike! We were wishing for the same thing! Cannot stop smacking my lips just thinking about it. #onlygotoneillustrationsonochoicewehavetothinkthesamethink #butithinkilookcuterhor #cannotlosetoahma Hopefully, now that Mummy has more time on her hands, let’s hope that she keeps to her promise and update our blog more! #thelackofpostistotallyherfault

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 …

Happy 12th Birthday Ah ma!

Published by

September 14 2015 was a special day. It was the day that the ancient one (aka Pecan ah ma) turned TWELVE. #omg #whatahugenumber #icanonlycounttoten As usual, birthdays in the Loo Lim Household are a big thing. Well, kinda, only if you’re the beloved furkids. The parents get zilch celebration. #spoiltbrats So, it was party mood all week! Woohoo~ The birthday girl in her bathing suit. #omgagain #oldwomanactyoung It started off with the customary grooming session. #thisonewebothnothappyabout #enoughairtomakeathirddog Photo credit: Wooga This was no usual grooming though.  We actually went for a handstripping session. I’ve been handstripped before and was supposed to be quite accustomed to it.  However, it was Pecan’s virgin handstripping. Hence Mummy was a tad concern that she wouldn’t do well. #sooldstillvirgin #HEHEHEHEHEHE In the end, Pecan did beautifully. Me, on the other hand, cried ‘father and mother’ (even grandmother) when I was being stripped. #asusualsamistherascalofthetwo Mummy was so embarrassed when Auntie Shiting and Auntie Ashley told her that. Oh, in case you’re wondering if it hurts, it really doesn’t. I was just …

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 …

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 …

Pet-friendly: Everything with Fries

Published by

If you’re a long time reader cum fan of *ahem* yours truly, you would’ve noticed that since Pecan ah ma joined our family we have ceased our pet-friendly cafe outings. #thickskinsam #scarlygotnolongtimereaderstheninoface #donttellme It is because Pecan has a bit of a barrier frustration.  Which means she has the tendency to react by barking and lunging when she is unable to interact with the object of interest (be it another dog or human). This happens especially when she is on leash. Hence, alfresco dining where dogs will be tied to the table (as opposed to a pet cafe where we will be off-leashed) ain’t exactly suitable for dogs like her. #sotroublesomecan  We’ve been working on her barrier frustration and are really pleased with her progress. #shegotbetterbutigotworse #shemusthavespreadittome Despite that, Mummy is still rather hesitant to bring us to pet-friendly cafes… That was until they walked passed… Everything with Fries at Holland Village. Daddy is a sucker for fries and the dessert menu caught sweet-toothed Mummy’s eyes.  Our parents just had to stop and give it a …

Quickie Art and Craft

Published by

Jack Russell Mania (JRM) is turning 13 this July. #cannotbelievegotthingsolderthantheancientpecan To get us ready for the exciting celebrations, Mummy ordered two JRM bandanas just for us. #ithinkiwearitbetterthanher #shhhhhdonttellherIsaidthat Okay okay, I think we both look pretty cool in it.  However, once we take it off, we won’t able to differentiate which belong to who.  #ifIwearwronghow #hersissmellyleh #cosshesuredroolonit  So, we attempted to mark our own bandanas with our own saliva. #spotourlittletongues #howhygienichor Thankfully the crafty (pun intended) Mummy had something up her sleeves. It was a real quick fix.  All she used were Martha Stewart stencils, satin paint, a sponge brush and a plastic container. And viola~ our very own customised bandanas. Not only does it look (and smell) good, it took Mummy less than five minutes.  #quickieartandcraft Doing an arty farty shot with them.  #showingoff #cannotissit Now people will know who we are when we attend the upcoming celebrations. We sure can’t wait! If you’re a JRT just like us, do join us for JRM’s 13th birthday! Click here for more information.

Pet IC for dogs

Published by

By a huge stroke of luck, I completed my second paying gig (hehehe..secret for now) yesterday! To celebrate my fat little paycheck (or so I think, Daddy let out a pffft when he saw it though), I decided to buy the freeloader Pecan ah ma a round of drinks. #gotmoneygotsay #daddycannotlookdownonmeanymore #samthebreadwinner And of course, nothing beats a nice cold beer with some dog-friendly green lipped mussels from K9 Natural in this awful weather. #enjoyinglife #celebrationsmustwearhatone #elsenootherchancetowearthem So we did have a little more to drink…  and possibly got a little tipsy and probably a little noisy. #notdrunkjusthigh I guess we did disturb the people, erm, I mean person around us a little.  #whoelsebutgrumpydaddy #oopsydaisy #whoaskhimsleepintheroomneverclosedoor #notreallyourfaultleh Not only did he give us a huge disapproving look, he started chiding us for underage drinking. #guiltylook But hey, wait a minute. We ain’t actually underage! I mean Pecan is after all a granny and me, I’m a handsome mature dude. To prove Daddy wrong, Mummy decided to whip out proof in the purest form – our …

Paw Pet-radise is BACK!!

Published by

Our little fragile hearts died a little the day we learnt that Paw Pet-radise was closing. Afterall, it was one of the first few pet cafes I went to.  In fact, it took Pecan’s virginity (of pet cafe visits la) too lor. #okaythatsoundsgross #tryingtobedramamama We probably cramped in like… three visits in it’s last month of operation. #machiamendoftheworldlor But but but…. You know what…. apparently, Mummy told us that Paw Pet-radise has reopened! WHEEEEEEEEEE! #wrigglydance  We couldn’t wait to get our little paws there! #sokiasuthatwewentduringthesoftopeningweek Although it is still located at it’s original location (at Balestier), it got a little facelift! The most noticeable difference, is the introduction of a solid partition at the entrance. Say bye-bye to the flimsy gate! No more greeting the new dog via a fence. #yespecanwearelookingatyou Not to mention that this is certainly more secured. Gone are the large sofas as well! With that outta way, there is more space for the dogs to wrestle and play. Our parents did comment that the new furniture isn’t as comfortable though. But …
