Pecan’s birthday present – Furry Photos shoot

You may have been wondering why Pecan didn’t have a birthday present reveal like we usually do. It’s not because our parents got all stingy and decide to scrimp on it. #Ithinkdaddysecretlywantedtodothat #mummywon’tallowonelor It’s because it took a while for the end product to be out. #goodthingsareworththewait Yap, you may have guessed it right.. (or rather, Mummy may have already told you la) Mummy arranged a photoshoot for Pecan – One where the focus will be on the little granny. #pecanhardlygetstobeinthelimelightonherown #firsttimeleh Thank you Uncle Nicholas from Furry Photos for delivering these awesome photos of the birthday girl. Here goes… The flying ah ma! PS: Thank you Ohpopdog for the gorgeous bandanas! She is pretty agile for 13 huh. #energizerahma Since it was her photoshoot, we definitely had to include her favourite place on earth – Tanjong Beach. It’s pretty amazing how she can fly anywhere! Of course Pecan’s favourite water toy, Mr Spikey, tagged along for the shoot! The perfect shake-off! “Oi, it’s my photoshoot! Don’t disturb me. I’ll play with you later.” #thegrumpyahmaatwork Well, it’s …

Pecan, I just wanna say…

Granted, I wasn’t exactly pleased the day Mummy brought you home. #didnothelpthatyoupinnedmedownthemomentoureyesmet In fact, I probably sulked for the next couple of months.  After all, you did continue whack me countless times. #Iamnotawuss #Iamjustbeingnicetoanoldlady BUT I am glad we made peace. I guess it became quite clear to me that… 2 dogs = x2 treats 2 dogs = x2 birthday cakes 2 dogs = x2 Daddy’s shiok massages 2 dogs = x2 outings So, yap, welcome to the family! #samisverythepracticalone Thanks for being my partner in crime…. in ganging up with me on other dogs (HEHEHEHE!), in extorting our parents for more food,  in barking symphonies, especially at the pool, Thanks to you, I can manage being home alone a bit better. Thanks to you, Mr Vacuum cleaner doesn’t seem that scary after all (since Pecan will attack it for me). Thanks to you, my tummy (and yours too) is getting bigger by the day. So, on this special day, I just wanna say… Happy 13th Birthday, Pecan! #akatheancientone Lotsa Love,  Your Little brother, Sam

Day at the beach!

It’s been a while since we shared photos of us having fun outdoors. So she decided to bring her camera along on our day out at Tanjong beach. Wheeeeee…. It’s a small doggie party! Yap, Juosta and Maneul from the Wooga gang came along too! #actuallyistheyinviteusone Oh and we met Li Bai the Spitz. #hisnamecrackedmummyup “Mummy, I hope you remember to bring my toy.” #addictedtorescuemissions Of course she did! Wondering where my usual helpless Monkey is? Well, Mummy, being the cheapo and lazy person she is, is against bringing the monkey to the beach. It’s too expensive to be swept away (when I give up) she says. More importantly, she doesn’t want to get wet to reclaim it. #whogoestothebeachanddontwanttogetwetone #sheisweird So instead, she got me addicted to the donut toy! Works either way. Like how she treats Monkey, I don’t get to see or play with the donut toy else where. This way, it keeps the toy really exciting to fetch when I’m at the beach. As for Pecan ah ma, she pretty much retrieves …

DIY time: Dog-friendly Peanut Butter!

Mummy has wayyyy too much time on her hands these days. So, she decided to DIY more items for us! #heywearenotcomplaining Pecan’s wondering what’s on the menu today. #ahmathephotobomber Sniffing out the ingredients as we make a wild guess. #aiyathetitlealreadygivetheanswerawayliao Yaps, we’re making Dog-friendly Peanut Butter today! Yums! Mummy used to give us store-bought peanut butter. However, it can get a bit tricky choosing the right one as many of them contain unhealthy preservatives (especially xylitol) that can be harmful to dogs. So what’s the best solution for someone who has too much time on her hands – DO IT YOURSELF! #ourtummiesagreefully “Can we apply it to our favourite donut toy too?” #pecan’sstupidityisrubbingoffme #thisisaBADsign Mummy found a recipe online and modified it a tad. She added our favourite coconut oil to boost the taste and of course, for added benefits too. #ourtummiesagreeagain The process is as straightforward as it looks.  Simply put all the ingredients in a blender and blend and blend and blend and blend. And Wa-la~ you get yummy peanut butter! Our stupid …

Our Yacht charter!

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 …

Ageing ah ma

As much as we would like to maintain that Pecan is forever young, we have to acknowledge that ah ma is indeed, ageing. #dengdengdengdeng #yalafinallyadmitsheisOLD Maybe not her craziness spirit, but her body. We started noticing that Pecan was shaking and trembling randomly at times over the last couple of days and that got Mummy worried. So off to the vet she went. And we came back with a diagnosis that Pecan ah ma is… Arthritic. #seelatoldyousheisoldliao #sosadhor #nowIamabitworried While this (relatively) genki ah ma is probably not quite close to going six-feet-under (fingers crossed!), her body is struggling to keep up. #ahmacannotbelieveiteither There isn’t much we can do right now except to manage her condition. On a good note, her pain episodes were not extremely frequent and her mobility isn’t too affected as of now. Oh, oh and, she is a walking weather forecast! #shewillshakebeforeitrains #butnotveryaccuratela #todaynevershakelor #thinkonthebrightsidema Besides pumping up her glucosamine intake and scheduling regular swims (which we’re already doing so), Mummy decided to opt for another alternative management treatment – Acupuncture.  #yamanthereisacupuncturefordogslor …

Sam’s Pick for X’mas : Torus Bowl

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, …

Our X’mas countdown

December is possibly one of our favourite months of the year. (We love Jan, August, Sep too!) Because… Christmas is around the corner! Woohoo~ #wewelcomeallsortsofchristmaspresent #pleasesendthemourway Awesome mummy decided to kickstart celebrations a tad early by getting us Advent Calendars from Barking Good! #dontaskmewhatanadventcalendaris #thisismyfirsttimehearingaboutit #butgotfoodwhocares Thank you Auntie Dionne for delivering them to our doorsteps. #wepaidherwithtailwags Most of our stuff are in storage, hence, the pathetic setup.  #lifesuckslivingoutofsuitcases Anyway, we did what most people would do and googled the term “advent calendar”. Turns out that it’s a special calendar to count the days in anticipation to X’mas! And an awesome one is one that houses little gifts to be opened up each day! #theyshouldhaveafestivalattheendofeverymonthlor #whatanawesomecreation Gosh, why did we not learn about this awesome sh*t earlier??? We opened up the package and did a sniff test.  As well as a thorough count to make that Auntie Dionne didn’t shortchange us. Slight problem.. what comes after ten? #wecannotcountforourlives So I decided to hold Santa hostage and get Mummy to do the counting for us. #countorIwilleatsanta …

Happy 12th Birthday Ah ma!

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 …

A Dear Deer Party!

We’re extremely lucky that Auntie Pauline from Howlistic Life has very generously offered to sponsor our little tummies with food and treats! #weneversaynotofood YEAH! After all, we have been long term fans of the many products that her company carries. *wriggly dance* When she sent some of the goodies over, we were over the moon and just had to whip out our party hats and CELEBRATE~~ woohoo~ YAP, WE’RE HAVING A DEAR DEER PARTY! #seeingsomanytreatsmakeusuberhigh We had always been fans of Dear Deer treats!  I mean…look at them!  How to say no?! This was seriously how happy we looked all day while Mummy was busy styling the treats. #happyuntilourmouthscannotclose Here are some reasons why we are such huge fans. #yapmummyiscrazyenoughtocreateaninfographicsforthis #shehastoomuchtimeonherhands Here’s what we got our paws on! (and this isn’t even the full range!) Some tips: If you have an aggressive chewer (or an annoying pooch that wouldn’t leave you alone), we strongly recommend the deer ribs, kneecaps and sinew! And yap, no kidding man. The Deer Kneecap is probably the only thing that …
