Where's the turkey and ham?

Betty: I think it's snowing outside.  Clyde: Did you say bird?

Betty: Could it be Christmas already?  Clyde: What's Christmas? You smell fresh. 

Clyde: Is that ham you got in your mouth?

Betty: This is stupid.  Clyde: I heard Mum say bird again.

Enough already!!!

Seriously.

Bullies head to Sentosa

I have to say that I simply can't get over both how funny and adorable these pictures are. Daddy becomes a human float to the 2 as Clyde isn't too comfortable with water just yet. Clyde always seems to want Betty near him. I see his pushed-in face relax once Betty is close.

We had our friend Agnes come along with us today. Happy she could join us :)

Water was a little deep and Betty wasn't sure about swimming today.

Myself, Mum and Aunty Agnes. The water makes me nervous :(

Thank you Agnes for being such wonderful company and we'd love for you to join us the next time round. Hopefully more bullies will go swimming the next time we visit Sentosa. The below videos were shot by Agnes. We love them!

Sleep

Thoroughly unflattering. I fell asleep and so did they. Thank you Daddy for being so candid.

Dead to the world.

Ok, this is so funny. Thanks Daddy.

Swim

13 September 2013

Took the doggies to Pasir Ris beach today. We really want to visit Sentosa soon. Better waters and sand there. I bet Betty will love it. Clyde too. He's happy as long as he gets to be with Betty.

Be gone slippers! Clyde is very uncertain.

This is Clyde's first visit to the beach.

Betty wants to go into the water.

I really didn't expect Betty to take the initiative to start splashing around.

Waddling through shallow waters.

Such a delight watching her :)

Slightly deeper waters, she swims around me. 

Coming around.

First Bully Ride

21 August 2013

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.

A clueless Clyde looking back at me.

Clyde seems comfortable in the van, as he's finally decided to lie down.

Betty excited about getting off the van.

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

Getting Her Ears Cleaned

A therapeutic affair for Betty. This is her favourite thing after a bath. I use surgical tongs, a little bit of cotton wool clasped and wrapped around it and soaked in ear cleaning solution. I do this once or sometimes twice a week.

Pets Corner Event 2013

10 March 2013

Sunday morning, it's a fine weather. We went to East Coast Park for a doggy event, a good opportunity to mingle with other doggies. We were very hopeful about spotting other Frenchies.

Daddy and Betty proudly strolling towards the event venue, myself at the back with my phone camera.

No Frenchies in sight. Stalls selling dog food, clothing and accessories for toy dogs, some dog shelter and rescue organisations, etc. Decided to purchase a trolley coin keychain from ASD (Action For Singapore Dogs). The coin can be detached and used in place of the $1 coin that you need, when getting a trolley at the supermarket! Thought that was pretty useful.

We spotted a cute little dog nearby. Owners came by motorbike just as we did!

Here she is, just wandering about. A beautiful Husky and Chow Chow trying to catch their breath. Weather was beginning to get a little hot and humid.

Had a little chit chat with the owners. Lea is a Shih Tzu mix Scottish Terrier. I think she's beautiful. Plus, I happen to like the name 'Lea'.

Daddy and Betty posing for the camera. Weather started to get really humid. Still no other Frenchies in sight. 

Just as we were walking back to the motorbike, guess what we saw! A cream coloured Frenchie and a short while later, a brindle one.

 

Frenchie colours are really lovely, they all look the same but are different at the same time because of their colours. The cream coloured Frenchie is Lilo. She's still growing, very cute. Her pushed in face is simply adorable. Didn't manage to get a shot tho. The brindle is Tyson. He is about the same age as Betty. He's strong!

Really must try and organise a Frenchie Group Walk soon.

Beast in the Bed

Kitty Toy

Uncle Mike got Betty a toy, licks and nibbles show just how much she loves her new friend. Betty says "I will take care of her in a very special way." Mummy says "Thank you for the t-shirt :)"

Sleepy Sunday

Give me a bed and I'll dive right into it.

Ramp and Tunnel

10 May 2012

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.
