But let's look at what is the CON of this product!

The first time, TOto is still very careful with the Fish Jerky. He tried to lick till the Jerky is soft and chewy before he chew into them and we can hear him drinking alot of water so that he can use the saliva to soften the chew. INNOVATIVE thinking huh!!!

But after a few time, he eat the chew like he is eating KEROPOK! 

He just chew through the jerky!

So noisy hahahaha!

All the bits and pieces will fall on the ground and he will LICK up every single bits till the floor is CLEAN!

But the bits are all stuck in his beard!!!

SO DIRTY!

It is so funny to see him trying to lick himself clean but those bits are so slimy and sticky, they are like superglued to his beard!!

TOto, you dirty DOG!

We have to use a flea comb to come out his fur!!

CON, alot of clean up after his Fish Jerky 'keropok'!

In the end we still have to use a brush to wash our Flea Comb ...

But it seems like a very natural healthy treat for TOto. 

I tasted them, it is not salty like I imagine them to be!! Hahaha, the first time TOto drank so much water, my first thought was 'Gosh' was it that salty and I tasted that slimy jerky for the sake of TOto (The power of mammeee's love!). We have yet to see them in store in USA, we will try to look harder ...

Orijen + Wellness kibbles!

TOto is on Orijen Fish and Wellness Simple Duck, for some reason TOto's love DUCKY taste!

We usally get 2 small packets for the 2 brand, because we prefer them to be as fresh as possible and bigger packets meant it will take longer for TOto to finish the kibbles; and the kibbles might get stale.

So far this 2 mixture + Nancy Cottage Cheese gave TOto's darkdarkhardhard poop!

Hubbie will use a scoop to mix it up; scoop by scoop from the 2 different brand into TOto's dedicated Kibble's container. And our trusted container is of course from Lock&Lock; Lock & Lock Rectangular Container with Handle and Tray. The only brand of container that is VALUE/QUALITY for MONEY! Containers made specifically for dogs are RIDICULOUS priced and of LOW quality products! We spent alot of time and research on TOto's container and even spent some $$$ on one but we end up using Lock&Lock brand!

A 41.6 Cup Container last TOto for about 2 months!

A little extra effort to make sure TOto's has fresh supplies of kibbles ...

Ultimately, I would love to change to a Lock & Lock Storage 50-Cup Storage Bin, Includes Cup. Hmmmmmm maybe after I move ba!

Meanwhile it will be my trusty Rectangular Container with Handle!

TOto, "mummmum" lorrrrrrrrr...

Dog Park EVERYDAY, what's in the BAG!?

The weather is very SPRING this few days and TOto goes to the dogpark EVERYDAY!

I realised only TOto has this SPECIAL bag that is hang on the gate which is used for ONLY TOto's stuffs! In the past we used to have this "Minnie mouse" bag but I have upgraded to this bag that I purchased from Taiwan. 

TOto will parked himself right under his bag when he wants a drink OR when he just want to play 'fetch'! TOto knows his water, and ballball is in the bag!

Can you see the 'Animals' on the bag?

I love the cutesy Animal design; LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

Let's see what is inside TOto's personal bag!

We always bring our own filtered water using Lock & Lock Mountain Water Bottle. It's BPA free and very durable, using Eastman Chemical Co.'s new material Tritan copolyester. We try to be as health conscious for TOto as much as possible; to the extend of the material of his water bottle, hahaha!

The next most important things to bring, and of course his 'toys'; the Ball launcher is a saver for our wrist, hand and back!  He can play a few hours of fetch and still come home begging to play MORE!

An extra item in the bag; the rubber frisbee. Frisbee-ing is what my Hub hopes TOto can do, but I gave up the idea of TOto being a 'Frisbee' Dog. TOto is just not meant to play frisbee. Whereas alot of people watch in awe when TOto plays 'fetch' and that is when I realised there are alot of dogs that do not know how to play fetch!! They just chase after the ball but NEVER bring it back!!

TOto new foldable bowl! 

You'll be surprised how many people do not bring water for their dogs! And that's the reason we bring such a big bottle of water. During the hotter days, we bring even a bigger bottle for TOto AND, all other dogs in the park! We are not that '伟大' (great), we just don't want TOto to end up having nothing to drink. Because when it comes to sharing, TOto is s.t.u.p.i.d; no matter how thirsty he is, he will always allow the other dogs to drink first! *faint* And sometimes there will be a very thirsty dog that just park himself next to our drinking bowl and finish everything, *Faint*!

And lastly a Lock&Lock container for TOto's snack after his day in the park!

We usually feed him some snacks on the car and TOto will usually gobble all the biscuits and goes to sleep!

The other miscellaneous items would be 'wet tissue' and poop bag. There are alot of times when TOto just got poop on him or gotten peed at! *Faint*, TOto is so 'S.L.O.W' sometimes! We are that typical 'kiasu/kiasee' (Scare to lose/Scare to die) Singaporean couple in an America Dog Park.

Hahahhaha ...

A SLEEPY dog on X'Mas EvE!

We will be moving VERY SOON and TOto will have lesser chance to visit his current DAYCAMP! I hate that to happen because the staffs REALLY REALLY LOVE TOto. They give TOto hugs and kisses!! They really DO NOT have to do that but they DID! TOto always have special CONCESSION. SOmetimes when we called they will say the daycamp is full but when we mention it is TOto; they wll 'shift around' and TOto will be 'SQUEEZED' IN! We are very grateful to the staffs! When we usually bring TOto to daycamp, TOto will run into their office, and GIVE all the staffs in the office some hugs and kisses before he goes into camp; YAH all the staffs in the office!

So recently we try to send TOto in as much as possible and we end up with a SILLY, SLEEPY DOG ...

LOOK how his head is hang out of his crate, hahaha!

And yah HE IS SLEEPING!

MeRrY X'mAs EverYone!

HaPpY HoLidAyS!

A Tired sticky TOto

A very tired dog who is just back from daycamp, bathed and had dinner was so tired but still wriggle his way into Mammeee's hug and felt asleep! Lucky it takes only a good 10 minutes for TOto to feel uncomfortable and wriggle himself out, hahaha! If not Mammeee arms might just go NUMB, he is like a 20lb bag of RICE!

Love how he felt so comfortable in my arms!

I felt so LOVED!

TOto, Sticky like honey!

Recently TOto is a little sticky, like a huge furry sticker!

When he is tired or just not feeling well, he will climb up onto my lap and snuggle. SO RARE! But it happened a few times. He will sit on the floor and stare at me, and when I nod my head he will jump up and position himself. SO CUTE!!
