We made a trip to the K9 park today. The park is situated at the rooftop corner of Nex Mall's Sky Garden. As usual, Betty could not contain her excitement. (Pet owners can access K9 Park via designated lifts and
escalator located at the outside of the mall. Dogs are not allowed in other areas of the
mall.)
Up and down the ramp we go!
Through the mystery tunnel.
"They said I might find something interesting at the end." - Curious Betty
Found daddy at the other end. The ball too.
As we left Betty to go about her exploration of the little park, the weather decided to turn even warmer. The blazing hot sun and
humidity caused Betty to become breathless very quickly. Her heavy
panting was a sure sign for us to find a cool place and recover from the heat.
We decided to pop into Doggiestyle Cafe for some food and drink. We ordered dory fish with vegetables for Betty and a simple chicken salad for ourselves. Didn't manage to take any photos of the food but here's a really nice picture that Daddy took of us.
Had a little chit-chat with the staff in the cafe. They told me the owner of the cafe owned 2 French Bulldogs. Unfortunately the 2 resident dogs of the cafe, Pickles and Tofu weren't around that day. Would have loved to meet them. Pickles, the brindle frenchie, was an abandoned dog, suffering from a bad case of yeast systemic infection. Mutts and Mittens rescued her and slowly nursed her to better health. Pickles was later adopted by the cafe owner who continued to look after her condition. As for Tofu, she was rescued from a pet shop. Another case of bad pet owners. In knowing that both dogs had gone through such unfortunate and painful experiences, I am glad that they are now in the care of responsible and loving dog owners. To find out more about Pickles and Tofu, read their story.
