Pet Expo 2015

Hehehe, the most exciting weekend for pooches living in Singapore is here! 

'Cos it's PET EXPO 2015.

And we went a little cray-cray there today.

#justalittlecraycray #ourloot #pleasedonottelldaddy 

Yap, Mummy is THAT obsessed with us.

As we wanted to beat the crowd (parking woes especially), Mummy decided to bring us there on the first day. 

We waited patiently (not) while Mummy went to collect our tickets.

#barelycontainingourexcitement

This was Pecan ah ma's first Pet Expo and she was loving it. 

#thetailsaysitall

As for me, (I was here last year to help Mummy out with her work then) I'm loving how much bigger the fair is this time round.

Not only are there more exhibitors, the variety has increased!

#gotsparkleinmyeyekindaexcitinglor

We started by taking a look at the whole place and planning where to drag Mummy to.

#thatisourgameface

Of course, our first stop just had to be....

the Tiny Krew Booth! 

To meet the love of my life - Jager!!!!!

Hehehehehhee! 

I missed him so much la.

#pecanonlywantedtodrinkfromhiswaterbowl #shenocareabouthim

Once we said our "His" and exchanged some kisses (hehehe, I shy la), we started our shopping spree~

This was our half-time photo....

#pecanapproved #samcannotbelieveit

Shopping sure was exhausted. 

So we pitched a tent and took a little break.

I wish. 

We simply shamelessly took shelter at Jager's booth and took ownership of the tent for a good ten minutes. 

#wetesting #theyputtheresoweuselor #theynosaycannot

Once we recharged, we continued with part two of our shopping spree.

#surehopemummystillgotmoneyleft

"Why is Pecan on the poster?!"

#pecanlookalike

No la. That's actually Bella!

We stopped by Howlistic Life to say hi to Auntie Pauline and decided to hop onto their centre stage.

Kinda keeping our fingers crossed that we made it on time for their carnivore feeding time.

"How come no food!?"

#tiofaked #theybluffme #breakourlittlehearts

Since we were there, we decided to buy some stuff too. 

Taking a break while waiting to checkout.

#wearepricelesshor

Pecan did come with an agenda today though.

After costing Mummy a good four-digits on her recent teeth extraction, Pecan had to earn her keep to pay her debts by working part-time at Barking Good!

#pleasesupporther #bogayahmaatwork

No la. 

Mummy is NOT that cheapo. (She is just a teeny weeny bit)

She actually went to collect the sampler set we pre-ordered online!

#iwassleepingsomewhere #samiseatingsnake

We also went to say hi to my favourite Daycare person, Auntie Ashley from Wooga!

Hehehe, and of course to give her our support for her new line of air-dried treats, Bites.

Most importantly, we got tons of pats and treats from her!

#theysayIamthebestjackrusselltheyhavemetlor #theylovemelor

Oh oh, and we met a new brunch of friends!

#isweartheyarereal

After a good four hours of scouting for deals and stocking up for god-knows-what, we were pooped.  

But oh boy was it fun!!!!!!

A day of Lure Coursing!

We finally met the adorable Westies (Klaus, Jasser and Koros, brothers from the same litter!) from the Wooga gang!

But this was no simple meet-and-greet....

this was actually an awesome Lure Coursing Session!!

#paiseh #icannottellwhoiswho

If you're wondering what lure coursing is (and is too lazy to click on the link above, tsk tsk tsk), it is actually a fast-paced chase sport for dogs. 

Using a specialised machine, dogs will run after a 'bunny' lure (usually a white plastic bag), that is attached to a line controlled by the device. The machine will run the line and the dogs will chase the lure.

Simple as that.

Mummy was really excited when she first heard about it. After all, Jack Russell Terriers (like Westies) are hunting dogs and chasing after a prey is in our blood! So, of course she would love to give it a shot!

Lucky for us, Auntie Ashley has an extremely cool lure machine!

"Wiggley dance"

And..we got to try it out today!

Woohoo~

#auntieashleysidabest

We had to be held back while waiting for the lure to be released. 

This was to give Mr Plastic Bag a headstart before we reach him.

#catchmrplasticbagifyoucan #readysetgo

And off we went... straight after the Mr Plastic Bag!

No prizes for guessing who is the slowest.

#ahmaisahmala 

After all, she is ancient. Besides, my age (5yo) plus each of the Westies (2yo) is still less than Pecan's age (She is TWELVE).

#omgsheisthatold

I came pretty close to Mr Plastic Bag a few times, but he always made it home before I could get my jaws on him.

RAWRRRRR~

So, I sat around during the intervals to discuss strategy with the Wooga gang.

#fourbrainsisbetterthanone #ahmanotincluded

With the tips I collected, I ran my lungs out...

#flyingjack

And finally got my jaws on him!

Doing my victory dance~

#naynaynaybooboo #noplasticbagscanbemyopponent #samthespeedygonzales

While I was extremely into the sport (got a little obsessed in fact), Pecan ah ma had other plans.

She kinda eloped with one of the Westie boy and had their own game of catch at the sidelines.

#cannotbelievegotanotherdoglikeher #cougarrelationshipsiah 

To ensure that we did not get over-exerted, we took multiple water breaks and salad bar breaks (yap, we were feasting on the grass). 

Oh oh, and we even met a new Corgi friend, Teddy, who unfortunately wasn't too interested in the lure or us.

But she's an absolutely sweetheart!! 

#whyyousitsofaraway #iamnotsmellyitisahma

After a few runs (we did about five before we were all pooped), we pretty much just sat around and chill.

Mummy loved this pic of the Wooga. 

No, Mummy didn't photoshop the pic and paste the same dog three times. 

They are just that identical!!

#aiyaherphotoshopskillswheregotsogood

Needless to say, we were two really happy pooch!

And guess what, my lure coursing practice really came to good use when I used my new learned skills to chase a crazy (possibly suicidal) cat that had the guts to run across the field that had dogs. 

Of course, Mummy wasn't very pleased about that.

Her first call for me started off calmly. 

The second was LOUD!

The third one..lets just say her voice broke in panic.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE...

#samhaszerorecallwhenheisbusy #thecatismoreexcitingthanmummy

Luckily the chase came to an end before it reached any roads (so, no pancake Sam or a 'lost dog' ad on FB) as Puss ran up a tree and hid.

Kinda sad that that was the end of my real-life action. 

#youshouldseehowblackmummy'sfacewas #sorrynotsorry

Not a bad way to end my day huh. 

How I wish Lure Coursing was an actual sport here!!!

Hehehe, and I'm hearing whispers that Daddy might be getting us one device too!!!!

Keeping our fingers crossed for that!
