Pillow's stayover

A friend of mine asked if she could leave her dog with me a several days. It's the first dog after mm that I helped to take care. And it's a small dog. To be more specific, it's a small cute dog. I am not a fan of small dogs but she really looks like a little princess. Moreover, she likes to stay really close to people so bb and nn were quite excited with her stayover.

Indeed every night, both of them argued who Pillow slept with. And guess what, she is most clingy to me. She slept ON me. haha. But she is so small that I was afraid that we may squash her in our sleep. Lucky.. we didn't. She is still fine, she is still in one piece. haha

And... we were all deceived by her princessy look. She was a real chilli padi! She kept barking at Amber and got so angry with the toy that even Amber was wondering if she was ok. And I think Amber was a little scared of her craziness. lol..

Anyway, it marked the end of her stayover and I think bb and nn will miss her. Bye bye Pillow.. See you soon....

Mooncakes for Amber! =)

This is the 2nd mid autumn festival that Amber will be spending with us but it's the 1st that she has her own mooncakes!  Thanks to Barkhaus =)

I brought it to share with her furry friends and they were practically crazy over the durian snowskin mooncake. Well of course, it's real durian flesh. I nearly took a bite too. haha

Salmon piglets

Traditional with pork

Snowskin durian! 

School holiday is ending =(

Rained rained rained for many days this week. And it's school holiday!!! Amber and the girls didn't get to go walk till these 2 days and holiday is already ending =(

Actually sometimes it's quite tedious walking Amber with the 2 girls because nn always want me to carry her and she is not light. lol. But still, I treasure every minute and seconds with them. Soon, we will have the one month December holiday! Gonna plan for some fun activities together =)

Amber's daily diet

Rain or shine, visiting the market has become my weekly routine. Ever since Amber was 4 months, I introduced raw diet to her. I personally have strong preference on fresh meat rather than kibbles or canned food. I want to at least know what Amber is taking in. Kibbles are afterall processed in factories by people I don't know. Sound like cup noodles to me if I were to put it in human form. lol. But ya, that's just my personal opinion. No right or wrong in giving fresh meat or kibbles, cooked or raw

 As for Amber's raw diet, I give her meat, organs and bones based on 2% of her weight. 80% meat + 10% organs + 10% bones. Actually some people maybe surprised, giving fresh meat is cheaper than kibbles. (kibbles as in quality brands) I spend less than $100 on her meals a month. I am not sure about other markets but the one I frequent always give me free organs. =) If there is leftover, I will just put them in my dehydrator to make treats for Amber.

Once again the rain ruined my plan with Amber and the girls! Humph! We were supposed to have a nice lunch with ZZ and to swim after that. Wait and wait and wait.... Finally... to only a drizzle at 2pm! Can't be bothered with the drizzle already! Packed and go!

If anyone is interested, this pool is at Pasir Ris farmway 1 but, we won't be able to come here and swim for long. Upetgamart is moving to the West so they will cease operation by the end of this month. *sad* Got to find an alternative soon! Without swim, Amber will be a sad baby.

More swimming pools for the dogs :

Mutts and mitten (Pasir Ris)
K9 Kulture (Turf Club)
Upetgamart (West Coast from 13/10/2013)

Rain rain go away

Rain rain rain... It's been 2 consecutive days that Amber and I haven't been going for our daily 1 hour walk. =( Still, need to find ways to keep my dear Amber entertained. At time like this, I really wish that I have a bigger house for her to run around indoor.

The rain hasn't stop even after nn's school ended

Please pray for good weather tomorrow! Amber needs to get out of the house and meet her buddies..

fav treat - raw beef marrow!

yummy! *slurp*

It's a rainy day today so no walk =( Compensate her with her favourite treat - Raw beef marrow! It may sound abit too "exotic" for some people to give the dogs raw but Amber just love it.

I got it from NTUC finest at SGD$22/kg. It's much more expensive than the ones sold in the market (less than $10/kg). I think the main reason for the difference in price is the origin. Market ones are probably from Malaysia while NTUC finest ones are from USA. Anyway there isn't any beef marrow sold at the markets around me too. The petrol to travel to other markets would probably cost me the same. lol.
