Sam’s Pick – Feed My Paws Mooncakes

Published by

Time flies and the Mid-Autumn Festival is back again! Wheeeeeee….. And the most important thing for this festival is of course… MOONCAKES! Knowing how much I enjoyed my mooncakes last year, Mummy decided to get me some again! Plus, we wanted Pecan ah ma to try it too. We were rather spoilt for choices as there were multiple online dog bakeries that were selling them!  But to give support and thank Auntie Crsytle for feeding our tiny tummies with tons of treats (check out our review here to find out what we stuffed ourselves silly with), we went with… *drum rolls* FEED MY PAWS MOONCAKES!! With so many yummy favorites to choose from, Mummy decided to go ahead and order the pack of SIX. It includes a mixture of savory [Beefy Cheese & Porky Cheese] and snowskin moon cakes [Durian Diva, Berry Bumbum & Pinky-Taro]. Don’t they just look so good? PS: Can you spot Pecan ah ma’s drool stains on the couch! #howcomeoldwomandroolomuchone #sounglam  Doing the sniff test to make sure they smell as …

Made with Love – Dehydrated treats!!

Published by

The weekends came and left… but we ain’t complaining…because, Mummy spent it making yummy dehydrated treats for the two of us! (Hehe, and there are plenty of leftovers for the whole week!) Anyway, we were extremely excited when Mummy told us what she had installed for us! To begin with, she started by swinging by the supermarket to buy some fresh meat, which includes chicken gizzards, lean pork, sliced chicken fillet, pork and chicken liver! She took some time out to slice them evenly.  The lean pork and liver sliced easily! But Mummy had a little trouble slicing up the chicken fillet the previous time, so she decided to get pre-sliced ones instead. They are a little thicker, thus require a longer time to dehydrate.  Anyway, a tip from my mother-in-law, Auntie Charmaine: freezing the meat slightly will make it easier and firmer to slice! Once the prep work was done, Mummy simply put the trays in position and got the dehydrator working! Mummy got the Open Country Pet treat maker from Amazon when we …

From Snowy with love….

Published by

Mummy came back with a handful of yummy home-made Parmesan and Mozzarella Whole Wheat Biscuits!! They looked amazing and smelled heavenly!! And we just couldn’t wait to get started on them! Just as we were waiting to get our share, Mummy started explaining where these treats came from. Apparently, my bestie’s, Jager, Mummy baked them just for us. Awwwwwwwwwww… so sweet can? That’s not all. Actually, these were baked by her on behalf of Snowy (Jager’s brother)… because… he wants to profess his love for Pecan ah ma. #snowyhasbadtaste #cannotbelievethatahmagotdogslike  FYI: This is Snowy, the Japanese White Goldie with bad taste in female dogs. This love declaration came out of the blue and we certainly weren’t expecting it at all.  After all, ah ma really isn’t fond of any other dogs. In fact, the last time they met, Snowy was following ah ma around the house. And all the grumpy old woman did was to keep walking away while growling at him. How lovable.  So how is it even possible that he likes her?!? Maybe …

Sam’s Pick – Feed My Paws Treats~

Published by

When Auntie Crystle from Feed My Paws dropped us an email asking if we were keen to review her handmade treats, we just couldn’t say no! I mean, who in the right mind would say no to anything edible?! Not us for sure… She was really awesome and asked us to pick whatever we wanted. So, we spent the entire evening glancing through the website (drooling while doing so) and pointed at EVERY SINGLE ITEM. Seeing how greedy we were, Mummy sighed and proceeded to let Auntie Crystle decide what she wants us to try. Booooooooooo~ Mummy sucks! As we don’t have any allergies and would eat anything that comes our way, Auntie Crystle offered to let us sample some of her bestsellers. (Fret not if you suffer from any food allergies as you can customize your very own treats using ingredients that you can eat!) And when the treats arrived at home, we could not believe our eyes! There were so many yummy looking snacks JUST FOR US!!! *Wriggly dance* #soimpressed We were so …

Brunch @ W39

Published by

Seeing how much Pecan ah ma has improved, Mummy decided to take a leap of faith and bring us out for a brunch appointment! Off we go!!! #roadtrip We were so excited and had no idea where we were heading to! We used to have to travel far just to find a Sam-welcomed brunch place. But lucky for us, Mummy managed to find a Sam-welcomed cafe in the west!! It’s none other than W39, a pet-friendly Bistro & Bakery! Actually, Mummy is quite familiar with this joint! She has visited this place numerous times for work and has come to realized that although it is a pet-friendly cafe, there ain’t always many dogs around. Not only was it relatively close by, it was a perfect place for ah ma! Besides being the first brunch outing for ah ma since she graduated from training, we even invited a special guest to tag along! Hee, we were excited just waiting for his arrival! It was none other than our furry cousin, RUSTY! Lil’ Rust is a Silky Terrier …

Dumpling for Dogs!

Published by

Mummy came home with something weird looking today. I had no idea what the hack it was.  But somehow, Pecan ah ma seemed to be over the moon and couldn’t stop dancing around when she saw it. In fact, she was so excited that she couldn’t stop smiling. As for me, I’ve no freaking idea what this was.  I mean, it looked like a green solid rock with a sting tied around it.  I was rather wary of it.  Hm, was Mummy gonna use it to knock my head when I get into mischief? Somehow, I just couldn’t understand why ah ma was so happy. But again. she is kinda crazy. Seeing my apprehension, Mummy suddenly remembered something –  I am an ABCD (American Born Chinese Dog). Come ‘on, I bark in an accent k and I run away the instant I see durian.  As what Uncle Bernard (one of mummy’s friend) always says, I am a Siao Ang Mo (a crazy westerner) since my name is SAM. Mummy couldn’t stop laughing when she saw …

Say a little doggy prayer…

Published by

Mummy says that if I pray for something, it might just come true. So I gave it a shot… “I want some treats….please oh please” And VIOLA~ I was rewarded with some of my favorite treats in the world – Dear Deer Kneecaps and Neck steaks! Mummy swears by them as they are the very few treats that can keep me occupied for as long as thirty minutes! The rest are usually gone in seconds.  (Shhh, I love it so much that I will also growl when Mummy attempts to come near me when I’m enjoying one.) Of course, being the sweetheart I always am, I was more than glad to share some with Pecan ah ma.  We were so excited.  In fact, ah ma couldn’t stop drooling! #sogross So typical of the un-ladylike Pecan.  And when we finally each got one… the rest was history.  We gave Mummy the thirty minutes of peace she deserved while we gnawed to our hearts’ delight! Shall add it to my mid-year resolution to say a little prayer …

Happy birthday Smiggle!

Published by

Remember Smiggle, the American Cocker Spaniel who had a crush on me? I was actually invited to her birthday present last weekend. #cannothelpthatIampopular Hee, her party was held at Paw Pet-radise as well.  Although it was held at the same venue, I was really impressed that her buffet spread of dog goodies was different from that of Cole’s.  Plus, I love how nice the presentation is. My only complaint – the yummy food was placed too high on a wall-table. Like that how I reach?! In the end, I had to rely on Mummy to get food for me. Likewise, the humans were stealing food meant for the dogs!! I saw Mummy and her group of friends going for second, third and even fourth servings of the fruits that were meant for us! PUI how can?! Happy birthday Smiggle! One more with the little birthday girl! Not only did I have a great spread of food, we were each given a Fetch-Box with a plushie in it as a take-home gift! Can’t decide which to …

Freezy Pups!

Published by

Auntie Charmaine went on a holiday to Hong Kong and came back with a gift just for Pecan ah ma and myself! THANK YOU AUNTIE CHAR! We were super excited when we got our paws on it!  It’s Freezy Pups! She’s really generous as well. She could’ve just gotten us the tray and the four sample packs. But she was such a darling and actually bought us not one, not two, but FOUR boxes of refill packs. *Wriggly dance* I HEART YOU MY MIL. Oh, ah ma says she loves you too. Happy dogs waiting for yummy and cooling treats! We were spoilt for choice as the starter kit came with four different flavors! Picking one wasn’t difficult. I simply chose my favorite color – Orange (chicken soup recipe)! It is so fuss-free that we could’ve done it without Mummy!  Simply dissolve the entire packet in hot water and we were done! Of course we needed Mummy’s help to distribute the portions evenly into the tray. And then the horrid news came.  We had to …

Cole turns O-N-E!

Published by

I attended my very first dog birthday party for the year!! Of course I came dressed for the occasion! It’s Cole’s birthday!!! This charming fellow officially turned one-year-old (even though he weighs x3 of me!)! Welcome to adulthood dude.. The party was held at Paw Pet-radise Cafe. Cole’s awesome Daddy booked the whole place for two hours for us to create havoc! Besides being a closed door event, there was some yummy finger food for the humans and paw food just for dogs! The party was really relaxing and we pretty much just spent our time… sniffing butts, Making new friends. Meet Smiggle, the American Cocker Spaniel, who secretly has a crush on me, maybe because I’m American too. Sorry babe but I’m taken. Goofing around. Bunny Sam wishes you Happy Easter~ Most importantly,  begging for food. I started with a more subtle attempt by sitting around where food is. Was a little surprised that my charms didn’t work.  Mummy said it was because I already had three meatballs. Where got enough??  I’m a growing …
