A "FLooF" Christmas!

Christmas came early for us this year!

Because the amazing peeps at FLOOF SG sent us a FLOOF Christmas hamper! 

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee...

Singapaw-rean food!

Our parents are proud Singaporeans and this little red dot is where we call home now.

But, do you know that we are from all over the world?

I'm from NYC (Yap, call me Uncle Sam), Pecan's from down under (She's Aussie) and Sherman and Shelly are Russians.

#unitednationsofdogs

The only true-blue Singapaw-rean in our crew is running free up there over some rainbow. 

#hipippin

To help us fit in (cos not many doggos can understand our accents), our parents will make use of all opportunities to get us accustomed to the local culture.

And this is why our Mummy went cray-cray when she saw the local food inspired dog toys!

#abittoocraycray #sheboughtallthevarieties #siaoone #excusetospendmummy

We're proud to introduce you to our very local Singapaw-rean food!

What a spread~~

Pardon our backdrop, Mummy's trying hard to make it feel like we are having a picnic.

Hi Shelly

Gosh, this post actually took Mummy almost ONE year to write. 

Seriously. Can be more biased anot. 

#fourthchildsyndrome #poorshelly #abitsadbuttoobad

So, yap, as most of you should already know by now, the Loo Lim family gained another sibling last September. (Like in 2017, it's ALREADY SEP 2018)

Say hi to Shelly Blackwood!

Moving on...

As much as we missed our little tripod, life still has to go on. 

Especially when you have three Jack Rascals to look after. 

#ahmaisstillsuperactive #shellyisthetroublemaker #Samisthebest

So in case you're wondering how we're geting by, we are proud to say that we are doing fine!

If you've been following us on Instagram, you will notice a drastic change in our family.

If you haven't, tsk, (#yeahIamjudging you) let me share the news with you now.

The Loo Lim Household started with one adorable dog in the household some seven years ago.

Yap, Sam I am.

Pecan Ah Ma 14 liao

Our lovely ah ma turned 14 this September.

To celebrate her ancient-ness, Mummy decided to throw her a birthday party. 

The very first in the Loo Lim household.

#sohonouredhor

It didn't take too long for Mummy to decide the theme of the party - Woodlands!

#notyishunhor

Afterall, all our middle names are Woodlands related!

Our mini shoot with Joss

Mummy met a really nice (and extremely talented) intern, Joss, on her previous job.

And lucky for me, Joss is a huge fan of mine.

#theBHBsam #shesayiveryhandsome #ialsothinkiveryhandsome

So, when Joss asked if she could take some photos of us, we definitely had to say yes!

#gotfreephotoswhowillsaynoone #someoneismyfanleh

We chose our favourite place on Earth, Tanjong Beach for the shoot.

The photos in the entry are entirely shot and edited by Joss.

#whysotalentedone #howcomeourmummysolousy

Do check out her instagram for other amazing photos.

Meanwhile, enjoy our beautiful photos!

Sam's Pick: Ruff Premium by J.S collars

We've always been huge fans of Martingale collars.

When our acupuncturist, Jane, ventured into the world of hand making them, we just had to give her our paws of support!

Made with Love: Crispy Salmon Cake

It's been a while since we had any home-made treats.

So, yap, it's Made with Love time!

Woohoo~

#ourhappybelliesaredancing

On the menu today... Crispy Salmon Cake!

Heheh, we actually got the recipe from Vanilla Pup!

#thanksLatte

PS: We forgot to include eggs in the shot below.

Our old lady - Pecan Woods

2017 marks the fourth year that Pecan has joined the Loo Lim Household.

#yapweadoptedherwhenshewas10

While Mummy took her home with the expectation that Pecan will act like a senior citizen - aka docile, mild.

#myassla

Of course that did not happen.

Turns out that this ah ma was even more energetic than I was! (And I was only 3 then leh)

Pecan did have her own share of problems when she first joined our family.

That said, the amazing granny has come a long way and is actually the most popular of us three.

#stupidoldladycomeandspoilmymarket

Anyway, we all know that Pecan is ancient.

So here's a little update on how the old lady is doing..health wise.

New Year Resolutions 2017

Mummy really isn't the sort to come up with new year resolutions.

#aiyacosshehardlyachievesany #imeannevernothardly

Hence, it was kinda weird when she sat us down and had a heart-to-heart chat to ask us what we would like to get out of 2017.

#gotsoseriousanot #onlyonepersonwastalking #twootherswerejuststaringatthetreatsinherhands

Nonetheless, to get her off our backs, we decided to come up with a list of resolutions that we aim to achieve!

Our very own event - A White Christmas Party

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Our very own 'A White Christmas' party was a wrap! 

#itwrappedupdamnlongagolor #justthatourmummyistoolazytoposttillnow #tsktsktsk

Not only did we have tons of fun organising this event with @vanillapup, @somewhitecookie and @iscreambailey, we were extremely pleased with how it turned out!

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!

I turned SIX - my second celebration!

And my celebration continues.

This time, with the second most important *cough* lady *cough* in my life.

#ohmancannotbelieveIhadtosaythat

For starters, we turned up for my party dressed to the nines in our new Crew La La collars.

Mummy is damn ridiculous la. 

When she was shopping for the collars, she was worried that the bows would get lost in our shaggy coats. Hence she decided to opt for the bigger design.

Well done lor. 

#nowwelookstupid #thebowisasbigasmyface

Oh well, at least you can't miss it for now.

Thankfully, the bows are detachable.

#phew

For once, Mummy really planned ahead for my birthday this year. 

#sheusuallyisverylastminuteone

I turned SIX - My first celebration!

Well, if you think my birthday is just over like that, you are so so so wrong.

#dontforgetmummyisobsessedwithmelor #mybirthdayisahugethinghor

Lucky for me, the actual day fell on a school day!

(I go to dog school at Puppy Colours every tuesday.)

School started off as per normal.

And that means hanging out with my classmates and getting into trouble .

A Fuzzy Sleepover

It's been a while since we did something fun in our lives.

To spice our boring lives up a little, Mummy decided to throw us a sleepover party!

Hence, she asked us to invite our friends to join us.

But hor, we don't really have many friends.

#nothankstopecan #myfriendsareinNYC #weemocosoursleepoverlookspossiblyboring

Oh well, so we decided to make do and invited our three FuzzYard troublemaker friends!

Say hi to Electra the Unicorn, Aussie Shoo and Sushi the Fish.

Since it's a party, it was a must to wear hats.

#theunicornnohatcosthehorntoohigh

We spent our whole evening chilling and chatting about our lives.

(Screams: BORING)

And that was when we started to hear grumbling sounds coming from our little tummies.

Well, I mean a sleepover isn't really a sleepover without some yummy snacks!

Thankfully Mummy was thoughtful enough to prepare some desserts for us.

Since Shoo was our guest, we gave him the first sniff.

#youbetterdontpooptherelor #elselateryounoheaddontblameme

He took a tad longer than we liked, so Pecan ah ma decided to protest.

#didntknowhermouthsobigone

Mummy allowed us to pick what we wanted.

I was uber hungry and just couldn't wait to bite down on the Pupcorn Donut.

Strawberry icing for me and chocolate icing for Sushi.

Pecan ah ma decided to go for the Cupcake Toys instead. 

#shenohappythatElectrawantedthesamesnack

Of course, this was when I realised the truth...

those weren't actually edible. 

They were plush toys.

#kannabluffedbymummy #thedonutcannoteatonelor #nowmylittletummyisangry

Oh well, at least they worked well as handcuffs.

#kinkysam #iswearsushiislaughingatme

Pecan ah ma ah... still thought she got lucky and got to have two cupcakes all to herself.

HEHEHEHEHE...

#shedoesnotknowthatthosealsocannoteatone #stupidistupid #iswearsushiisalsolaughingather

Eventually ah ma discovered the prank.. and dare I say, she wasn't too impressed.

#whyourmummysocruel 

After meando Mummy had a good laugh, she finally whipped out a mystery box and announced that it was our real supper.

No thanks to her earlier joke, we couldn't quite trust her this time round.

#sureanot #wenobelieveleh

When she took the surprise out of the box, our jaws dropped and frowns were wiped off our faces like instantly.

#weverypracticalone #cannotissit

She actually ordered A King's Breakfast from Superdog Kitchen.

Who says we can't have breakfast for supper?

Thanks Auntie Gwen for the delicious tart.

#ifonlymummycancooklikethat #samtheking #nopecanisnotmyempress #pukes

To make our supper even more awesome, Mummy prepared milk for us!

Wheeeeee..

#okayweforgiveyouforbeingalousycook

Okay, now I feel kinda bad for our guests.

Cos, the moment we saw the tarts, we couldn't give a sh*t about them.

#sorrynotsorry

Pecan is so matchy-matchy man.

Her pink hat and her Pink Bubblelicious Easy Pet Eater.

#pinkoverdose

I definitely have more taste with The Chevy Easy Pet Eater.

#youcannotbuytaste

Okay, the truth was, we really didn't care what our bowls looked like. 

We just wanted to get our jaws on the delicious tarts.

HEHEHEHEHE

#nowmytummyfinallyhappy

To make sure that we have a good night's sleep, Mummy decided to warm the milk for us.

Although this was our very first time tasting it, we absolutely loved it.

#pecanahmaalmostdidntwanttosharelor #howcomeyouwaitsolongthengiveussuchayummydrink

After we ate and drank to our fill, we were really to tuck in with our friends on our comfy beds.

Pecan chose to snooze on a Tipping Point Reversible Pet Bed while I was rather pleased on my Rio Pillow.

#ithinkshoofaintedfromahma'sbadbreath

These beds were so comfy that Mummy is a little sad that we rather sleep on them than squeeze on her bed with her.

#sorrynotsorrylor #nomoregettingkickedbydaddy #nomoregettingsquashedbydaddy

Nighty night....

On hindsight, the sleepover wasn't that bad.

Afterall, we were exhausted and our tummies were beyond satisfied.

Hopefully Mummy organise another one soon!

Care to join us?

Paw Pet-radise is BACK!!

Our little fragile hearts died a little the day we learnt that Paw Pet-radise was closing.

Afterall, it was one of the first few pet cafes I went to. 

In fact, it took Pecan's virginity (of pet cafe visits la) too lor.

#okaythatsoundsgross #tryingtobedramamama

We probably cramped in like... three visits in it's last month of operation.

#machiamendoftheworldlor

But but but....

You know what.... apparently, Mummy told us that Paw Pet-radise has reopened!

WHEEEEEEEEEE!

#wrigglydance 

We couldn't wait to get our little paws there!

#sokiasuthatwewentduringthesoftopeningweek

Although it is still located at it's original location (at Balestier), it got a little facelift!

The most noticeable difference, is the introduction of a solid partition at the entrance.

Say bye-bye to the flimsy gate!

No more greeting the new dog via a fence.

#yespecanwearelookingatyou

Not to mention that this is certainly more secured.

Gone are the large sofas as well!

With that outta way, there is more space for the dogs to wrestle and play.

Our parents did comment that the new furniture isn't as comfortable though.

But seriously, like we care lor.

#wearemoreimportantthanyourbackside #wehappycanliao #deaddogalert

There is also a new retail corner!

So, no worries if your parents forget to pack along your treats, just head down and pick your heart out.

#toobadmummycamepreparedtoday #boohoohoo

The most exciting change for Mummy has to be the new menu!

In fact, it was a thorough revamp. 

No more western flair and instead, say hello to Asians Cuisines.

#icannoteatsoidontreallycare 

(Thai Milk Tea - which Mummy loved as it wasn't overly sweet, Cheese Fries and Japanese Fried Chicken)

The reason my parents ended up with three mains was because Daddy is a *cough* loser *cough*.

He ordered the Soup Ramyun without realising that it was spicy. 

As a result, poor Mummy had to finish two mains herself, while Daddy got a replacement Bento set.

#loserman #howcanhecallhimselfasingaporeanwhenhedoesnoteatspicyfood

But hor, judging from Mummy's face, I doubt she was complaining. 

I was pretty sure that they took back three empty bowls when clearing the table.

(Soupy Ramyun with Cheese, Beef Bibimbap and Terriyaki Chicken Bento)

Unfortunately for our little starving tummies, the pet food wasn't ready that day.

#suayislikethatone

Anyway, Paw Pet-radise will be serving delicious dog grub by the Superdog Kitchen.

Now we just need to convince Mummy to bring us down again.

#howtoresistthetarts #iswearpecanisdroolingjustlookingatthepicture #okayiadmitmetoo

On top of the new look, we love how the sense of familiarity remains. 

#feelslikehomelor

Best of both worlds indeed.

Three cheers to the new Paw Pet-radise Cafe.

And without a doubt, I'm pretty sure we will be back here rather regularly.

HEHEHEHEHE

#nocomplaints

Mummy's note: Thumbs up for finally having a pet cafe that serves asian food! The beef bibimbap and soupy ramyun were really delicious. Even though my stomach was close to exploding, I actually finished both dishes. On the hand, Mr Lim found that the Terriyaki Chicken was a tad salty. We did feedback to the owner and on our second visit back since it reopened, he noticed that the saltiness no longer bothered him. (Yap, we have been there twice since it reopened. =P) The pricing has also gone up a little due the cost of ingredients. But seriously, with food this yummy, the price increase is hardly a deterence!

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!
