Just a sticky baby following my human on adventures all around Singapore. Join us! We do not play much at home, but we have never once fought.

Born in Orchid Country Club, we were brought home on 19th Jan '11 for fostering, and the humans fell in love with us, and eventually kept both of us. Unfortunately in late August, Korkor fell very ill, and eventually left us for the rainbow bridge. He had brain infection and over active immune system. Now it's just me, and the foster pups/dogs in the house, but my mom said she will never compromise our me-time.

First dogs to visit Evervet's new outlet at Changi Road, but disclaimer ah, we did not know and did not specially go down to "support". Just happen that we need to have their blood works done and also get some pain relief medication. On a side note, he is resuming his hydrotherapy with Anna because I am incapable. 🥲

Didn't notice I can no longer link Facebook to IG hence the lack of update on Facebook.

Happy 13th gotcha day to my first dog, my forever and biggest baby. Time flew by so so quickly. I'm so glad to spend another year with you given the huge paralysis scare 1.5 years ago. Can't take you out tonight because it's pouring heavily but I promise to make up for it. Thank you for sticking by me for the past 13 years and more to come. I pray for your good health every day. ❤️

Today a colleague told me, "your King right?" mistaking his name as King because once our team went out for drinks, we drank so much but a dog mom's got to do her duties so I send a pic and said "I'm home, walking my king now". 😆

2 nights ago, my mom heard some weird flapping while watering the plants. To her surprise she saw this fella who could hardly fly. They woke me (I am the catcher for everything) up to catch it so we can see what to do next. Brought it to thinking it was injured.. turns out it is a fledgling moustache parakeet. My bro and I immediately named it Birdie, but after knowing how dumb it is, it is now called Dumbo 🤪

Spent the whole night figuring out how to drink from a water fountain

Guessing it's the first time dad bought dog cake. Cos he bought 3 dog cakes, one each for Bungee and Didi, and one for the 2 little ones to share. 😆😆😆 Happy 3rd Birthday crazy t**t!!! 🙃

His post privilege cos we often worry the distance is too much for him. It's quite easy to spot when he's tired. Only thing is that he is alot heavier than he was recovering (14.5kg vs 19kg) so we have to take turns to carry the master.

Sunday morning walk from Marina Open Carpark to GBTB and back. Had to take a few water breaks cos the dogs were panting hard from the hot weather. 🫠

Time surely flew by quickly. 100 days since you gained your wings. Days without you went by in a blur, yet memories of you are still vivid in our minds. I still remember you staying at my place when you were a wee pup though it was just a few days. Me sending you to your first home. How it was pouring when your first adopter threatened me to pick you up immediately or she will call SPCA to get rid of you. How on 1st October 2011, I brought you to the shelter for the first time and cried so much, refusing to leave because you were scared as hell. How I would take you for long walks to Lorong Halus, how I have to go down when vets are around because it was hard to handle you. Then you came to my home for fostering after Sandy's passing, I sent you to your 2nd home and you did surprisingly well. Almost 4.5 years later, you came back because it was your adopter's final straw after you attacked her sister over and over again. Shawn Chia decided to take you home after you rubbed your itchy face on him. The rest was history. Funny how I tried to rehome you yet none of the potentials passed the vibe check. Eventually weeks became months, and then years.. Just as we were praising you for toning down, being more predictable and more manja, the vets revealed the most painful news. So much hopes we had, yet it didn't buy us much time. Amputation, full chemo cycle, we thought we could celebrate another birthday or two with you and the boys. Short-lived happiness and all hopes crashed when your xray showed the nodules. You left in 2 weeks, leaving so much pain in our hearts yet we are comforted that your suffering has ended. Rosie girl, it was hell of a ride and we are glad to be here with you. I hope you visit your Papa in his dreams cos I know he misses you the most. You are a special one indeed. Fly high, Rosie! 🌈

Old is gold. He falls asleep easily these days and I love carrying and having him sleep in my arms.

Went to the vet to check on his ears and skin, and at the same time ask about CCD. Gonna read up and research more. #问题多多

Happy Walking Anniversary! Took his first unassisted steps on 23rd Aug 2022 following his diagnosis. The helplessness felt, the sleepless nights.. Everything happens for a reason and we managed to overcome it. Stick around me for long ok, 12.5 years and I still haven't get enough of you. To many more years ahead! 🤗

Conquered Mount Kinabalu in spirit 😆 Ditched the boys for a long weekend but of course I brought them along my way. Summit in time for the beautiful sunrise!

Clear blue skies for this morning's swim but as usual he is grumpy as hell. Weekend was eventful. Long walks, swim, followed up cafe run and dropped by to support + pick up some treats. 😄

Day 66 - Not one, not two but many steps on his own. My eyes welled with tears because he has come a long way. From a jumpy muscular dog to completely losing mobility. Then a glimpse of hope with a little sensation in his paws.. regaining strength in his front paws and now this! This is so rewarding. 🥲 You teach us a good lesson and I am so proud of you. #polyradiculoneuritis #skippysrehabjourney
