Little Sammy

Mummy found some puppy photos of me and could not stop sighing about how cute I used to be. Sigh. Is Mummy implying that I'm not as cute as I was ?

I used to get stopped at every junction and crossroad by strangers who think that I was the cutest thing in the world. Not to brag, but there were several times when people even offered to buy me over. I'm pretty sure Mummy and Daddy even secretly discussed what the price was if they were to accept the offer. (Mummy thought I was priceless. Awww~, but stupid Daddy was more than glad to let me go at cost price. Dang you.)

Now? Well, I still get the occasional coos and ahhs from people (especially tourists) but I do think that reality hurts and there is just too much competition out that in the streets with annoying new puppies popping up every day. Oh well, too bad for me.

Despite all that, I'm sure mummy still loves me for what I am. (Right Mummy?) And I know, what I lose in cuteness, I gain in charming-ness. I am one hell of a handsome young dog. (Yeah, with an ego that's even bigger than the 12lbs I am as well)

Don't you think so?

My first Win!

I won my first pet photo contest!

Well, this is kinda silly. I know I am cute, but there were like only 5 participants - _-. Duh~ but nonetheless, it rocks! That means mummy is gonna bring me to the NYC Pet Show in May! I can't wait! (thinks: Treats, treats and MORE treats) 

On the other hand, I wasn't cute enough to win the Bissell MVP 2011 Photo Contest. There were over 7000 contestants and was purely vote oriented. So too bad for Mummy, she didn't get to win a vacuum cleaner that could help her to clean up after my mess. (Evil giggle)


Hopefully there will be more wins to come!

My name is...

Well, Mummy gets tons of questions regarding why I am called Sam and why my middle name is Forest. To save Mummy some saliva and time, here's how the story goes.

After falling head over heels with me on first sight, Mummy and Daddy went on a puppy name search. Mummy (being a huge fan of South Park and Family Guy) came up with two really 'creative' names, Stewie and Butters. However, Daddy refused, thinking that it would be really lame. (Well, I wonder how different life would be if I was named after a cartoon character.. Hm, I would probby get laughed at by the other dogs. Phew~ I owe Daddy one on this!) After some debate (pretty one-sided though), Daddy who was totally fixated on the name Sam won. His rationale? He just thought I looked like 'Sam'. -_- Eventually, Mummy craved in, and here I am, Sam I am.

Guess the story behind my middle name was somewhat more meaningful.

My middle name was thought by my god dad! Here's the formula:
Sam = 阿森
Lim = 林
So, Sam Lim = 森林
And 森林 = Forest

How about 'Loo'? Well, since mummy was the one registering me at various places such as the daycare and the vet, the places simply assumed that my last name was Loo. The american culture is such that married women tend to adopt their husbands last name. Thus, the places assumed that Loo was Daddy's last name as well. So, I was being acknowledged as Sam Loo. Guess that gave mummy and daddy the inspiration to add 'Loo' onto my name. (Sucks to have a long name, can you imagine how much time is wasted writing it down!)

Anyway, so there you go. That's the 'story' behind my name, Sam Forest Loo Lim!

Sammy's first post..

Mummy finally craved in and created a blog just for me. (I guess she's just sick and tired of me hogging the contents on her own blog.) Nonetheless, I'm not complaining! Now, I can finally show the world Sam's little doggy perspective about everything, anything.


Here I come..
