Do Re Mi….

Published by

Introducing… Loo Lim Number 3, Bella! And so you think.. #yougotpunked #iamNOTsharingmyspacewithyetanotheroldlady We came across this adorable sweetheart when we popped by the Howlistic Life showroom to stock up on our Dear Deer kneecaps. Little Bella belongs to Auntie Pauline (the owner) and like us, is a Rough Coat JRT! And boy, was Mummy captivated.  Firstly, cutie Bella looks just like a combination of me and Pecan ah ma – she has my face and Pecan’s body! #iamstillthecutest And secondly, her temperament is amazing.  Although she is 11 years old (the same age of ah ma), she is calm and chill. Nothing like the crazy old granny we have at home. It’s no wonder Mummy was falling in love with her and kept offering to take her home. Of course, she had her ‘Crazy Dog lady’ face and voice on…. -_- Hello~~ we are still here yo~ #Mummycheatedonusrightinfrontofus She really does look like ah ma! And for a moment, Mummy thought that she actually found Pecan’s long lost sibling (since they are of the same …

Pecan’s first Dog Event – National Geographic Channel Free Pet Shop

Published by

After seeing Pecan ah ma’s success during our recent JRT hike, our parents decided to take yet another leap of faith.  They… *drum rolls*…brought ah ma to her very first dog event – The National Geographic Channel Free Pet Shop – that took place over the weekend at Big Splash! And yap, ah ma did amazing once again! She did not snap at a single dog and even proceeded to greet many of them!  Of course, our parents were still on high alert and made an effort to distract her when her posture got too tense and her tail started wagging a tad bit hard. She responded every single time!  Kudos old lady! Ah ma was in such high spirits that she couldn’t stop grinning throughout the event.   And I’m sure she was equally pleased to be enjoying a nice day out with many other canines! There weren’t as many commercial booths as Mummy would like and so we spent most of our time wandering around and meeting fellow doggie instagrammers! (Hi Donna! Hi …

Playing dead…

Published by

I have a tendency to play dead when I play with other dogs.  It’s not that I am submissive.  I just get a kick tricking other dogs… Normally after I refuse to move for a while, dogs will get confused and move away. Pecan always gets so worried that she will walk towards Mummy with an ultra guilty look. #stupidahma #Iwheregotsoeasykillone Only after Mummy’s (repeated) explanation that I am not dead, will she come back beside me. The best part is… this is how we’ve been playing for the past few months and she STILL doesn’t get it! #Iamnotdeadjustlazy #facepalm #ahmaissenile  Anyway, if you do play with me in future, this is pretty much what to expect!

The JRTS go hiking!

Published by

Mummy took an insane leap of faith and gamble and brought Pecan ah ma along for her very first Jack Russell Mania outing to the Green Corridor. Yap, you didn’t hear me wrong.  We actually brought the crazy smelly old lady to an outing with many other dogs. Not just other dogs, but fellow Jack Russells! It’s like crazy meet crazy. Of course, there were initial doubts if it was too much for her to handle.  But after some consideration, our parents decided to take the plunge and went right for it. Well, there was always Plan B if it didn’t work out – go back home.  (Shhh, lazy Daddy was secretly rooting for that lor) #mydaddysucks And guess what, Ah ma did beautifully.  In fact, she was perfect. She walked and walked and walked, alongside many others.  I swear I saw tears in Mummy’s eyes.  #yayayayaIexaggeratela But nonetheless, Mummy was damn proud of Pecan. So am I.  Getting ready for the hike! We kept our distance in the beginning to ensure that ah ma …

Sam’s Pick: Sunny Heights (Animal World) Swimming Pool!

Published by

Swimming is a weekly affair at the Loo Lim Household.  Every saturday, we would pack our swimming gears (including Monkey and Monster!) and head out to our usual pool. Sounds routine huh… Maybe not… Because… our favorite pool just undergone an extreme makeover. From what was formerly known as K9 Kulture to THIS fabulous pool under Sunny Heights (Animal World)! Awesomeness to the max! Gone are the rough surfaces, slippery slopes, protruding nails and dirty water. And say hello to new (and gorgeous) tiles, easy steps, cool (but a little scary) water features and comfy seats for our parents to chill! How not to like~ In fact, we absolutely love it! Pecan ah ma giving it her grin of approval. Mummy was actually a little concerned that we might take some time to get used to, especially since they removed the slope and put steps in instead. (It’s safer this way!) Thankfully, not only was I not deterred by the steps, I wasted no time and got right into my monkey rescue missions instantly. Yes, …

Sibling Love…

Published by

The relationship between me and Pecan ah ma has come a long, long way.  From arch enemies to tolerant housemates to loving siblings. From frequent fights, to occasional squabbles, to ganging up against Mummy together. Most importantly, we’ve even learnt how to play properly. While most of the time we wrestle to crawl on top of each other, there are a couple of rare occasions where we just spend sometime showing some sibling love. Mummy: “Awwwwwww… so sweet. Give her a kiss, Sam?” With my eyes on the treats Mummy is waving, I decided to give Pecan ah ma a kiss. Worst decision of my life. Because ah ma has bad bad BAD breath. #pecanahma’sbreathcankillone #smellslikerotteneggs #NOTIMPRESSED I nearly died man…. (*with eyes looking at the treat*)   Since we’re siblings, I really do not mind. #anythingforfood Here goes… #instantregret Touched by my gesture, Pecan ah ma decides to return my favor and gave me a kiss too! #siblinglove I swear that Mummy was in tears after witnessing this heartwarming moment. Okay, I exaggerate.  But …

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 …

Ikea for dogs!

Published by

Mummy loves heading to Ikea for some therapeutic window shopping. Daddy’s pretty okay with that. Except that Mummy’s definition of “window shopping” is a tad different from others.  Yap, she NEVER leaves empty handed. #mummyisashopaholic But of course, being an obsessive dog parent, more often than not, she would end up buying something for us! That’s the reason why you would find her in the kid’s section everything she visits Ikea. Hehehe, in fact, she added some awesome kids toys to my stash during her last visit! Since Pecan ah ma has been leaving her toys around the house and our original toy box is overflowing, Mummy decided to check out some storage solutions for us.  And that’s when these fun baskets caught her attention. (Source: Ikea) And guess what, I think the vibrant colors suit us too! Plus, they finally allow us to stow away ah ma’s many toys. Basket ONE is for her annoying squeaky toys; Basket TWO is for balls (most of these are mine. hehehe); Basket THREE is for Pecan’s stinky …

Pecan’s BFF!

Published by

Pecan ah ma has a new best friend.  And it isn’t me! *Hengs man~* #phew #NEVERFELTSORELIEVED Can you imagine me having to engage in some granny talk with the grumpy old lady?!  (Like which veggie is the freshest, why are my boobs sagging.) OMG.  *Shrugs* Thankfully, I am NOT her best friend.  Her new best friend… is actually.. DONUT! Yap. It was the toy that Mummy bought ah ma to cheer her up during her recovery. While Mummy knew Pecan loves squeaky toys, she certainly wasn’t expecting ah ma’s obsession to her new Ferplast toy. In fact, obsession is an understatement man.  Pecan ah ma is literally glued to Donut. And everywhere ah ma goes, Donut follows.  That includes our daily walks.  She just has to bring Donut EVERYWHERE! Ah ma also refuses to let it go at all times during the walk. Not even when she’s peeing!!!! How can you pee with something in your mouth?!?!!? #unbelievable The truth is.. it’s a little paiseh (embarrassing) for me. Since Ah ma started bringing Donut for …
