Cars and Tofu – AE86 Special Shop

So we were in Kyoto a few months back, and we just happened to be walking around when we saw a sign that was unexpected with letters that were instantly recognisable.

Mr P had to take a photo right here with the car, so you can see his shadow on the floor there, lol.

The AE86 is after all the iconic car that delivers tofu at racing car speed to customers. ( We don’t read Japanese but it was not difficult for us to guess that the Japanese letters on the car probably read “藤原豆腐店” or Fujiwara Tofu Shop. ) And if you’re clueless what I’m talking about, it all happens in this comic. :P You can also find out more about this Kyoto place with the AE86 here.

Speaking of tofu, I was quite amused by the thought of ten courses of Tofu for lunch. Ten! 3150 Japanese yen is roughly USD30 or SGD38.

What does Donna say about cars?

Lone flowerlet of the Ixora

The result of our evening walk. The dog returned with a flowerlet on top of her head after she inspected the underside of the flowering Ixora bush.

Also called Jungle Gerbera or the Flame of the Woods, Ixora blossoms typically look like big umbrellas of these tiny flowerlets clustered together. The flowers can be red, orange or yellow. Despite the bright colours, the Ixora plant is not toxic to dogs so there was no need to be overly concerned.

I kept looking to see if the flower would drop off her head the rest of the walk. It never did.

It was only when we got back that I realised it was kept stuck to her head because of the sticky sap that has cobwebbed all over the area above her eyes. Right time for a shower, Donna!

Have a great start to the week guys!

Alright, I have a set of cryptic links here.

Have an awesome week ahead and come back tomorrow to check out some blending apps ;)

I can’t believe I let you give me a shower. Again.

If only I was on my beach towel at the beach. Then I won’t be sporting this look on face, would I, human?

Donna doesn’t like to shower. She is appeased once she is let out of the shower cubicle.

We have got this routine going. Wipe dog with towel and let the damp pooch stay on the towel to dry off. It stops her from tracking wet paw prints all over the floor and splattering water all over the place. And is also a good excuse making sure I am consistent with working with her to learn to relax on the mat at the same time.

I can’t believe I let you give me a shower. Again.

She usually gets over it by the time she wakes up from her nap ;)

Morning Walk

dog up and down the stairs

You mean we don’t go up the stairs, human?, thinks Donna as she does a U-turn.

Donna is happy to trot along, but if you start to run, she will gallop off in a short burst of speed ahead of you.

Look! Four paws in the air!

The corner where the human says “Up-up” and the dog pauses to sniff the pee-stink left by other dogs instead – –

Eventually she ascends the concrete block with a flying leap!

dog can't read sign that says no climbing

Despite the “no climbing” sign. Dogs can’t read signs you see :P Lalalala~

dog waiting to go down the stairs

She’s smarter now and waits to see if we go down the stairs. How long do you need to take a photo of stairs, human?

Human finds a cat! Up-up, Donna, or you can’t see the cat!

Happy Birthday, Donna, says the cat.

Now get out of my face, please. Meow.

Show me your life

How was your weekend? Donna and mine wasn’t so fun since I was laid up in bed. Oh well, tomorrow will be a better day ; )

Friendly Friday

I’ve been wondering a lot about whether there is a Singapore Special mongrel personality.
I don’t know since I don’t have much contact with other mongrels outside of Donna, but what I know of her. She is (1) quick to startle (2) takes sniffing as her primary occupation (3) playful and yet prefers to sleep when you are too busy to play with her.

What are the three key things you can name of your dog’s personality/character traits? Do they match his/her breed? 

Last week, we talked about dogs with known breeds. This week, there were some interesting posts about rescue/adopted dogs, check them out if you haven’t ;)

If you are on a self-hosted blog and are interested to talk about blogging, I wrote a short post on WP search plugins here on google+. 


Hello Sugar,
thought I’ll share Donna’s video for See Beautiful.

Keep your eyes on the rope toy, human!

Have you ever read books or e-books written around the theme of “things my dog taught me”? The human never really did, but I’m sure there’s lots of nuggets of truth in them. The other day, our 1stworlddog friend, Bodhi, wrote a list of four things he taught his human. The human here thought it was particularly relevant for her, so we thought we’ll share it over here.
