We recently bought a van 'Daihatsu Hijet'. Travelling in a van is absolute fun. It fits the whole family. Myself, hubby and the 2 fur kids. Great for groceries, big space for goods and ideal for picnics. Getting a van was really an idea and I am so happy we made it a decision. Today we took Betty and Clyde out in the van. Destination Katong Park Dog Run. Located at Fort Road.

We will be installing a mini fan soon to keep the dogs comfortable. The AC is pretty powerful at the front, just ok at the back but it's probably better to circulate more cool air to the back for the dogs. Cool window films to keep the UV rays out came with the van, but we're thinking of having some blinds put in to create a cosy space. I'd love for that Malibu beach look, carib style, cocktail flavour, breezy semblance. We'll see what happens. Many things to consider when owning a vehicle in Singapore. Everything is costly. Just to wrap the seats in a sorta azure blue would set us back a couple of hundred bucks.

| Betty is always faster than Clyde. |

| Anxious beasts awaiting throw ball. |
 |
| Betty sprints off even before I can throw the ball, leaving a confused Clyde behind. |
 |
| It's adorable how Clyde always seems to take Betty's lead. |
Katong Park Dog Run is an ideal place for dogs, comes shaded with accessible washing facilities. Sadly, very poorly maintained if maintained at all. We're thinking of next visiting Pet Movers' Dog Run. Supposedly a dog run that has pesticide-treated grass, a dog-wading pool, bath facilities for dogs and a cafe with beach tables where you can watch your dogs play at the pool. 4 Pasir Ris Farmway II (6581 3688, www.petmovers.com.sg). Mon-Fri 9am-6pm; Sat & Sun 9.30am-8pm. See http://www.timeoutsingapore.com/aroundtown/feature/run-spot-run
