My Triangle Travel Quilt!

You know your mother is crazy obsessed..erm.. I mean selfless when she buys a present for you for her birthday! 

Ho ho ho ...

After eyeing at this item for close to two months since she first saw in on Pretty Fluffy, Mummy finally took the plunge on this very purchase. It's her birthday present to herself, or so she says... (I'm quite sure Daddy footed the credit card bill.. shhhhh) 

Who cares, since I'm the one to benefit. *GRINZ*

And..word has it that  (*puts on a fake british accent) this lovely package came from the land my breed originated - Yap, you guessed it right, this was fresh from...ENGLAND!

OPEN IT!

Wondering what it is?

Huh?! 

That's it?!

I can barely fit.... (Yet another sign it's time to lose weight...dang~)

Nay...just kidding..

Introducing my Triangle Travel Quilt by East End Best Friend!!

Designed and hand-made in Hackney, East London, this gorgeous quilted travel mat is just the right thing for a hip little terrier like me!

Best of all, the quilt is actually machine-washable! Certainly a god-send for a messy eater like me. (To my credit, I DO try my best to lick up all the leftovers.)

And like most handmade quilts, this lovely piece will improve with age and repeated washes! 

Maybe this shall be my heirloom, to be passed from me to Sam2 to Sam3 to Sam4 to... SamX..

(Mental note to Self: I should NOT pee on it..)

I'm loving it!

Thank you Mummy!!! (and Daddy)

Time to test out this quilt with my 101 poses... 

Sigh.. yet another awesome dog product for the handsome me. 

Oh ya, happy birthday Mummy! If only it's your birthday everyday....

Apparently Mummy really loved the Geometric Throw Quilt that is a perfect match to Sammy's quilt. But lucky for Daddy, she couldn't bring herself to spend a good $500 bucks on it. 

Maybe next year?

Hohoho.. can imagine Daddy sweating already.. 

Mummy's note: I'm so glad I finally bought it! And no regrets! This is really well-made and super compact and lightweight, great for bring around when traveling short or long distances. Well, it might be a little small for the fattening rascal, but he does enjoy curling into a ball when he sleeps, so I guess that isn't much of a concern! In addition, Styletails has great service too! And yes, I am STILL eyeing on that uber expensive quilt. Guess Sam might be right..maybe next year...

Sam, the bad hair day lion!

ROARRRRRRRRRR...

I'm Sam, the Bad Hair Day Lion!!

I'm gonna eat you up!!

Hm, my new mane got me thinking. 

You think the Singapore Zoo will hire me as a lion substitute?

Well, China Zoo did it... maybe they will.

Shall send my resume tomorrow...

Meanwhile...

ROARRRRR....

Mummy's note: I got Sam his lion mane wig at a pets seminar from Cat Welfare Society. 

Not the cheapest thing around, nor the wisest purchase... but it sure entertained the hell out of me and it's for a good cause (some part of the proceeds goes to helping cats)! 

So, yet another win-win situation! And I love how the little rascal displays a sense of self-importance each time I put it on him. Maybe he really believes he's a lion.

The Green Mini Interactive Feeder!

Mummy brought home an interesting product recently. 

I was quite fascinated by it and couldn't quite figure out what it was exactly.

It's a toy... NO!

it's a bowl... NO!

It's a......

 Green Mini Interactive Feeder!

This specially designed feeder is shaped just like at tuft of grass (it consists of 32 grass-like blades). Besides acting as obstacles to prolong eating time, they make access to food complicated, making it challenging and possibly more interesting for the eater.

I'm far from being a fast eater. While I gobble down treats like they are the best things on earth (wait, they are!), I approach my kibbles with a lot LESS enthusiasm. In fact, it's always a struggle to get me to start eating, let alone get me to finish my food. Hence, Mummy thought that this would be a great toy to get me slightly more interested in my food since it will make my mealtime a fun and enjoyable activity!

I've to admit that I was quite intrigued by it and couldn't wait to test it out. 

Let's see what you have up your sleeves...

"LET'S GO!"

It's really simple to use - just scatter the desired portion of food (wet or dry) and let the fun begin!

Mummy wasn't too confident that it will work and decided to entice me with a couple of really small treats. But yet she decided to up the challenge by feeding me kibbles (I feed better on wet food, though my stools don't quite agree..). 

And you know what, Mummy's worries were completely unnecessary. I took to the feeder immediately and happily spent the next twenty minutes (on my own) trying to find (and chew) all the kibbles!

I even took an additional five minutes licking the bowl clean. *Sheepish Grinz*

I was a little disappointed when I was finally done and tried putting on some puppy eyes hoping to get more kibbles and playtime. 

Too bad for me, I do have a waistline to maintain. So, no second servings. 

Boo~

Well, at least I've my next meal to look forward to!

Mummy's note: We have since used it another couple more times and it's amazing how much Sam's tail wagged each time I took it out and poured the kibble onto it. Even better is the precious twenty minutes during which the little rascal is so focused on his own meal! So far, cleaning is a breeze as I only used kibbles. I'm keen to try using wet food, though I am a little concerned about the potential mess. Well, at least it is dish washer safe (yes, I've a dishwasher), so I guess it will be just fine.

Nonetheless, I'm extremely impressed by how this feeder is able to get the little monster interested in his food!

Leave me alone, Mummy!

I simply do not understand stupid  Mummy's obsession of wanting to take a photo of me when I'm doing my little business.

It's so annoying..

so I do what normal dogs will do:

I gave her a dirty look.

RAWR~~~~~

Just let me pee in peace...
