Sam’s Pick – Chew Time

Published by

It’s no secret that Jack Russells require a crazy amount tons of stimulation to keep these terrors out of trouble.  That’s pretty accurate for the case of me and Pecan ah ma. #memorethanherofcourse #seeourinnocentface  To keep us out of trouble (well, me mostly), Mummy invested in a huge variety of chews.  From rawhide (yucks, we no like), bully sticks (smelly and yummy), antlers (which was a total fail – it was so hard that I didn’t give a hoot about it), you name it, we probably would have done a taste test on it. #wewonderhowourbelliescantahanalltherubbishmummyfeedsus #nocomplaintsthough #nowonderdaddypocketisquiteempty Honestly, we had way more options when we were still in New York.  Once we moved back, Mummy noticed that it was rather challenging for her to find decent chews for us.  Well, of course until we chanced upon… Chew Time! One first experience was Christmas two years ago when… we won a Chew Time giveaway.  #seehowcheapomummyis Our first taste of Chew Time’s bully sticks. #goneinsixtyseconds #nolarwheregotsofast  Needless to say, we became instant fans of Chew Time! And …

Our Yacht charter!

Published by

It was a long weekend and with long weekends come exciting plans! This time, we were heading out to a fun day at sea! Yap, Auntie J chartered a yacht for the whole extended family (thirteen two-legged ones and three four-legged ones)! We gathered at Sentosa Cove and waited excitedly for our adventure to begin! #tryingtolivetheataslife #thisiswhatourdaddycanafford It was a tad hot and pretty soon, we were both showing our ‘Asian’ eyes, no thanks to the glaring sun. #whyyoutakephotoalwayssoslowone #ourmummysucks We met up with Captain and he led us to the yacht. Pecan ah ma is taking her pick of which yacht she fancies. Of course, Mummy said no to everything she picked. HAHAHAH #shethinkstoomuch Wondering where our yacht is.  #whysofar Finally, after what seemed like forever, we made it to.. our charter of the day – the Isaiah!  #atasliving Queuing up to get on board.  #spotthebacksideofourcousinRusty Mummy knew that the weather was gonna be really nasty (hot!). But she wasn’t very concerned initially as there was an air-conditioned living space on the first floor …

Our ‘Reunion’ Dinner!

Published by

Lunar New Year is just around the corner. Unfortunately for us, we won’t be able to tag along for our parents’ reunion dinner. Don’t feel too sorry for us, because Mummy already made up for it! #mummyreallyisdabest To satisfy our little tummies, Mummy went ahead and ordered a Superdog Kitchen’s Chinese New Year special for us! Hehe, of cos we must dress up for the meal – featuring our Monkey Bandanas from Loyal.D! Sniffing and checking out the goodies in store for us. Ta-dah~ it was the Ong-Lai-Loh! Because Mummy’s lousy photography skills cannot do Ong-Lai Loh justice, here’s how gorgeous it really is! In case you’re wondering, it smelt and tasted every bit as good as it looked. In fact, Mummy couldn’t resist and took a slice herself.  Ah ma and myself were seriously concerned that she was gonna finish everything herself. #yalasheisthatgreedy #hengsheleftsomeforus #elsewesureblackfacewholeCNY Photo credit: Superdog Kitchen Waiting to dig in. #thisisclealyatorturousmoment #hurrylehwewannaeatonehor Our hungry and impatient tummies were extremely excited. #diediemustgivemummyaperfectshotelseshewillnotletuseat #ourlivessuck Okay, this isn’t the best shot of me but Mummy …

Sam’s Pick – Zee.Dog Accessories

Published by

For my birthday this year, our dearest sponsors, Howlistic Life, showered me and Pecan ah ma with products from one of their new brands, Zee.Dog! #freethingsequalstohappymummy #yalaourmummyisacheapo #happymummyequalshappydogs We’re clearly too spoilt for choice! We decided to try on the harnesses for starters. Sam is wearing the Chewy Mesh Plus Harness while Pecan’s donning the Barracuda Mesh Plus Harness. Careful hor, I’ll bite like the sharks on my harness. #suddenlysomanly “Ah ma, there is a fly on your nose!” The harnesses were really comfortable and fitted us nicely.  (We both wear an S) We loved how edgy the Skull logo looked and it turns out to be functional as well – it helps hold the stitches together. While we loved the harnesses, Mummy noted that it might not be great for dogs that pull a great deal (aka Pecan).  #pecanahma’slifemissionistopullontheleashandbarkateveryone Nonetheless, these eye-catching harnesses will serve as great outfits for parties or outings. Well, next up. Of course the birthday boy gets the next pick. More sharks please! JAWRRR.. erm, I mean RAWRRR I love …

I turned SIX – my second celebration!

Published by

And my celebration continues. This time, with the second most important *cough* lady *cough* in my life. #ohmancannotbelieveIhadtosaythat For starters, we turned up for my party dressed to the nines in our new Crew La La collars. Mummy is damn ridiculous la.  When she was shopping for the collars, she was worried that the bows would get lost in our shaggy coats. Hence she decided to opt for the bigger design. Well done lor.  #nowwelookstupid #thebowisasbigasmyface Oh well, at least you can’t miss it for now. Thankfully, the bows are detachable. #phew For once, Mummy really planned ahead for my birthday this year.  #sheusuallyisverylastminuteone She actually ordered personalised bunting just for us since October last year. #wahsotouchedleh This is from ms.emmeline.pets. So cool right? It’s a pity that the clipart cannot be customised.  But we still adore it! Best of all, it is so re-usable. #bepreparedtoseeitoverandoverandoveragain The cake had to be the highlight of the party and possibly my birthday. Thank you so much Pawoof for accommodating our order! If you thought the cake looked …

I turned SIX – My first celebration!

Well, if you think my birthday is just over like that, you are so so so wrong. #dontforgetmummyisobsessedwithmelor #mybirthdayisahugethinghor Lucky for me, the actual day fell on a school day! (I go to dog school at Puppy Colours every tuesday.) School started off as per normal. And that means hanging out with my classmates and getting into trouble . #happyfacesallaround After all the fun and learning, it was the best part of the day –  My birthday Celebration. Mummy ordered a rainbow cake from The Barkery.  #mummyisdabest #nowallmyclassmatesknowhowoldIam #iamyoungatheart While I am usually a red meat eater, Mummy decided to go for a lighter flavour and chose fish instead. Besides a cake, Mummy also ordered one of my all-time favourite treats (Salmon & Brocoli Paws) from Barking Good as birthday favours for my classmates to bring home. #luckydogs #goodthingsmustsharema Eyeing my cake and planning how to section my stomach to finish the whole thing. #hehehehe Turned out the whole cake wasn’t just for me. #boohoohoo Of course the birthday boy gets the first bite! #whydobirthdaysonlytakeplaceonceayear Enjoying my …

Our modelling gig

We’re adding the title of blogshop models under our belts. #seenowweareatrueblueblogger #wearemodelstoolikethoseprettybloggersleh Hehehe.. Well, technically, ohpopdog isn’t a blogshop. It’s an etsy shop. #samesamelaWhen the kind people from ohpopdog asked if they could use us as models for their latest collection, Mummy said YES!We have been fans of their products for a while and we really love all the gorgeous pics that they post on their instagram account.And boy oh boy, after we saw the end products for the shoot, we’re over the moon with how everything turned out.Photo Credits: ohpopdog Matchy-matchy with Pecan.#nowwelooklikeacouple #ohman Damn, I am such a natural.  Ah ma needs to be more sensitive to the camera though. #whyisahmastaringintospace #roomforimprovement Okay, I admit, Pecan does look kinda adorbs in the outfit. #shelookslikeaschoolgirl #noIamNOTfallinginlovewithher Just a chirpy little boy! #sohappysocute Seriously, the photographer deserves a huge thumbs up for making me look so stud. #alotofpeoplewhosawmerecentlysayifat #thedifferencethecameraanglemakes Mummy is super impressed by how nice the photos turned out. After all, there wasn’t any overly flashy equipments.  All done with a simple DSLR. Photo …

Sam’s Pick: Fiverr

Published by

Yap, in case you’re wondering, Mummy’s shopping spree hasn’t quite ended. #poordaddy But on a good note, it is getting less costly. #andsowethinkla This is our ‘feel sorry’ for Daddy’s face. #nolorthisisourboreduntilcollectcowebsface Mummy was introduced to Fiverr by a friend who’s owns a startup and was looking for affordable design options. It’s actually a website that offers services and tasks with a starting price of just USD5! And boy oh boy, Mummy was hooked instantly.  Mummy’s addiction to illustrations isn’t something new. #aiyasheisaddictedtoallthingsdogrelatedla But honestly, most illustrations do not come cheap.  It’s no wonder Mummy was over the moon when she saw what Fiverr had to offer. #shehappydaddynohappy Mummy’s latest purchase: Kawaii Sam and Pecan! For Christmas she said (AGAIN). #shewillneedanewtaglinesoon  I think Pecan ah ma looks better kawaii than me. #howcomepecancuterthanme #nofairleh -_- Time taken: 10 days Amount paid: USD31.50 for two Rush order available. Order here We did say latest purchase.  And yap, that certainly wasn’t the first. Instead, this was Mummy’s first ever purchase on Fiverr. She googled pet illustration and gave the …

Our pick for Stalker Mummy – the Petzi

Published by

We already warned you that Mummy is on a shopping spree this month. For Christmas she said. (Remember?) So after pampering herself with the Torus bowl, she coerced Daddy into getting her a Petzi Treat Cam. To check on us while she is at work she said. #morelikesatisfyherstalkingtendencies #poordaddyburnanotherholeinhispocket And without even waiting for Christmas, impatient Mummy got around to unwrapping her ‘present’. Tsk tsk tsk. Besides the Petzi camera, an extra simple instruction sheet (a bit too simple to be honest) and two packets of Milk-Bone treats for starters are also included! #sonicegiveustreats #welikeitalready Pecan ah ma thinks that she’s cuter than the Beagle. #nocomments The design of the Petzi is extremely simple and great for tech idiots like Mummy. All you have to do is remove the cover and pour treats into the hole. #pourMOREleh  The plug is an US two-headed plug, so an adapter is required.  Simply plug it in and follow the instructions for setup. The process is supposedly pretty painless. But for some weird reason, Mummy couldn’t get the Petzi …

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, …
