Sam I am

Published by

Mummy always tell people that I am an ABCD, an American Born Chinese Dog. Cos, I was born in the United States! Not only that, I am actually a true-blue New Yorker! Here’s how my story goes… Daddy was posted to New York for a work stint and of course, Mummy tagged along. #noitisnottaitailifeitishousewifelife Mummy has always wanted a dog (since she was a kid). So, there was no better time to have one when she has three years on her hands to kill in a foreign place. Hence, Mummy started researching about shaggy dogs and came upon Rough Coat Jack Russell Terriers. She also found a breeder (MeadowBrook Russell) in New York. And lucky her, there was a puppy available! Yap, it was yours truly. WAHAHAHA.. The picture that sealed the deal! My parents drove an hour that very weekend to check on me and to speak to my breeder, Patti. They always said that I was a fraud. After all, I gave them tons of kisses when we first met. (Once I went home with them, all …

Made with Love: Blueberry Ice Cream

Published by

It’s been a while since Mummy made us something. So, she decided to whip a yummy dessert to combat the heat! It’s none other than… Blueberry Ice Cream for dogs! #mummycannotplateforherlife #ittastedbetterthanitlooked #mummypretendingtobeadessertchef #failla It was a real simple fix and required only a handful of ingredients. What you need: 2 cups of plain/greek yoghurt 1 box of fresh blueberries 1 teaspoon of honey 1 piece of dehydrated pork/beef/chicken jerky Checking out the ingredients and giving it our sniff of approval. As neither me and Pecan ah ma are fans of fruits, Mummy decided to incorporate some blueberries to trick us into eating them.  Besides having antioxidants, they can also help with cognitive functions for older dogs. #senileahmaneedstoeattonsofblueberries #sucksthatwegotoutsmartbymummy What to do: 1. Puree the blueberries using a blender (Do set aside some as garnish) 2. Using a mixer, mix the yoghurt and honey together.  3. Add the pureed blueberries and mix thoroughly. 4. If you have an ice cream maker like us (we have a Cuisinart), pour the mixture into the maker and churn for …

Happy 5th Barkday to Sammy Loo!

Published by

Yap, it’s the time of the year once again. Little Sammy has grown one year wiser. To celebrate my bark day this year, Mummy decided to gift me not one, not two, but FIVE pressies (one for each year of my life!)!!! Wheeeeeeee~ #omgomgomgomgomgOMG #ofcoursethebudgetcamefromdaddy #nopehedidntgivewillingly To kickstart the celebrations, Mummy got us customised hats from The Lil’ Rascals! Now, we are in the right party mood~ Woohoo~ Bring the presents on!!!!!! A customised Birthday Cake from Pawlicious Bakery! There’s no birthday without a birthday cake! Hehe, since we had their signature fondant figurines for our Barkday last year (fyi: the figurines are still intact and sitting around in the house!), we decided to change things up a little. So, Mummy got Auntie Jaster to illustrate us doing our favourite activity in the world –  rescuing drowning toys! We sent Auntie Jaster a reference pic like this: And she came up with this awesome cake!!! #ohmygawd #ahmaiswearingabikini #samisrockingboardshorts We’re totally loving it. Okay la. I think Mummy loved it more than we did.  We just wanted …

Grooming Workshop @ Bubbly Petz

Published by

As JRTs are relatively low-maintanence dogs, our parents would send Pecan ah ma and myself to the groomer’s only once every three to four months.  Despite that, we do require a bit of home-grooming every now and then to look somewhat decent.  And as expected, the person who does it is none other than Mummy!  #atthemercyofmummy #whyshecutmyhairuntilsougly As adorable as we may seem, we ain’t the easiest dogs to self-groom.  On average, it takes Mummy about a good hour to trim our nails and brush our coats. Of course, all these take place with a fair amount of struggle and one too many treats to bribe us. #notreatsnogroom  Thus, when Mummy found out about Bubbly Petz’ grooming workshop, she decided to give it a try to see if she can learn to better manage us.  Since, two related persons are allowed to accompany one dog per registration slot, Mummy dragged Daddy along.  As I’m the better behaved one of the two (well, at least I would like to think so), I was sent as the …

We got Mail – from Chewtime!

Published by

It’s not everyday that something interesting comes through the mailbox. It’s usually bills after bills or flyers after flyers of property that my parents cannot afford. #ineedricherparents Oh, and of course the occasional summons (hehehehehe…). Yawn~ But today, there was special something.  There was a postage for…. me and Pecan ah ma! Wheeeeeee~~ We did a quick sniff test to decipher the package. #placeyourbets We couldn’t quite guess what it was. But one thing is for sure.  It contained something edible! #ahmaalreadydrooledonthepackage  It was bully sticks from Chew Time! We actually took part in a Facebook Giveaway and won these! Heeheehee… I couldn’t take my eyes off it even while photo taking.  As for Pecan ah ma, she was a little unsure what it was. #pecanahmaisafroginawell Staying focused. Once Mummy handed them to us, I immediately took it to my mat and started gnawing on it.  #samatwork Ah ma, on the other hand, didn’t really know what to do with it and started trotting around the house, unsure of what to do with it.  After …

Conversation btw Husband and Wife

Published by

Mummy: (Pissed off face) “Did you know you tried to kill the dogs in your sleep yesterday?” Daddy: “Huh?” Mummy: “First, you rolled on Sam. YOUR ENTIRE WEIGHT ON SAM. Then you kicked Pecan off the bed. Hard. I heard her yelp when she fell off the bed.” Daddy: (Grinning) “HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA..  YESH!” We knew Daddy isn’t very fond of us.  Just didn’t realise he wanted us dead. -_- Now we are concerned. #needtostartapetitiontogetdaddyoffthebed

A special gift for Pecan…

Published by

While Mummy was doing her Christmas shopping, she came across something that she thought was extremely apt for ah ma. And when she showed Daddy, he gave out a loud laugh and agreed to pay for it. Here’s Pecan ah ma’s second X’mas present. A Baby Gap Bib to catch her stinky drool. LOL… #thiskindoflousypresentIalsodontwant But again, Pecan isn’t as practical as I am. #Samnofoodnohappy And she seems pretty pleased to receive the pressie! Sadly, this does NOTHING to prevent her drooling. The last I checked, there were some drool stains on the couch. Yucks. #wastemoney #theyshouldhavespentitontreatsformylittletummy

Merry X’mas to us!

Published by

If I can have it my way…  This would be how I wanna spend my X’mas – Eating snow. Okay, I admit, and also peeing on it.  Nothing satisfies me as much as creating a yellow piece of art on a white canvas. HEHEHEHEHE #peeingonsnowisdamnshiok #Ihavethepowertomeltsnowinstantly It kinda sucks that I can’t do it anymore.  #FML Oh well, I’ll just make do. Besides, my parents don’t actually have the habit of celebrating Christmas.  In fact, they hardly celebrate anything. (Other than our birthdays!) #myparentsareboring And there’s a no Christmas tree policy in this household and the reason is pretty simple.  Cos Sammy Loo loves to pee on trees. HEHEHEHEHEHE #whynogivemechancetopeeonachristmastree Even though we did not have an out-of-the-world Christmas, Mummy did attempt to make Christmas a tiny weeny bit more exciting for us! For a start, we were given an awesome beef and salmon half log cake from Pawlicious! Ho ho ho…. We decided to do a little role-playing to add on to the non-existent festive vibes.  I’m Sam the Reinterrier and Pecan ah ma …

Sam’s Pick: Gex Pure Crystal Bowl

Published by

So, it was just another boring weekend afternoon for us….when Mummy got all cheery and started saying that she has something just for us! Of course, we jumped up from our lazing position and got all excited… Wheeee….  Fingers crossed that it’s gonna be yummy treats for our little bellies… Chants: “FOOD..FOOD..FOOD..FOOD” Mummy took out a box and started fumbling around, trying to set something up. Maybe it’s gonna be something pretty awesome and delicious.. And so we thought. When we were finally introduced to the item, our jaws dropped in disappointment. Ain’t no food man. #Mummycheatus #whynofood Instead, it was an automated GEX Pure Crystal Bowl. Pecan ah ma wasn’t very impressed. She obviously wasn’t happy that it wasn’t food.  Plus, she was a little unsure of the running water. Being the braver of the two (or so I think), I took the plunge and dived in for a sip.  Besides, cunning Mummy removed our usual bowl and played a good game of fetch with me prior to the shoot.  So I had no …

The recent lack of post…

Published by

The sole culprit behind the recent lack of post.. is none other than our… LAZY MUMMY! And her excuse?  Her recent addiction to the Korean Drama Master’s Sun.  For the past two weeks, Mummy has selected to abandon everything and sit right in front of the TV for one straight hour.  Yap, that means, no blogging, no photo editing..  NOTHING. Oh..and her occasional giggles and that weird smile she has on her face once in a while can get quite freaky.  #mummyisturningintoanajuma #koreandramahasstolenourmotherfromus Hey…we’re judging you. We’re counting down to the final episode of the show. RAWRRRRRRR… #giveusbackourmother #saynotokoreandramas
