We live in a flat

Many Adults, 1 Boy & 1 Dog's Montessori Life in a Singapore flat

Photos of what we do during our dog walks in general


When we first decided to get a pet, we debated about whether we should get a cat or a dog. Mr P suggested a cat several times because, by all accounts cats are more independent and perhaps more suitable for two busy adults.

But I wanted a pet that will get me exercising regularly. It is a commitment I wanted to make. You can walk or run with a dog, but not with a cat. (It was later that I found out some people do walk their cats on a harness :P)

So we adopted Donna. Dog walking became an everyday item on the day’s to-do list.

How many different pictures can one take of the same dog walking every day? More pictures than I would have thought.

Enjoy. Photos after the jump ;)

Besides pee, poo and try to avoid eating strange things, we


make our acquaintances with the trees and the lampposts.

It became a habit too.

  1. Dog walking is fun. Especially when you can change up the routine, and find cool stuff to photograph.

  2. Before I became a cat mamma, I also had dogs and there are many times when I miss the social aspect of dog-walking, romps in the dog park and the fact that they listen better than cats. But you are so right about the fact that pets bring us closer to nature and that’s the best reason of all to have one!

    • It’s because I have never been outside so much in my whole life before I got a dog! What made you decide to switch to cats?

      • I don’t have a lot of space where I live and dogs are so much more ‘needy’ then cats, so I guess it was a matter of convenience. But I know all the dogs in the neighborhood, they all come up to me when I’m out walking.

  3. You should rescue a terrier next time. We’re independent. Did you mention walks? !!

    • I think your definition of independent and mine may be slightly different…. but yes, I did mention walks… want to come?

  4. Donna, you get to sit on tables!? Woooowooooooo!

  5. The dog ones are my favourite this week – hence the angst of shouldI shouldn’t I get another dog in my post.

  6. Mum completely agrees! The main reason she wanted a dog when they moved into the house was as her running partner. It was her personal trainer at the gym who even recommended my mix (as she has my older half brother). We are both missing our morning runs post tick but believe back into thing tmw. Love our walks / runs.

    • High five, Bodhi! The human gets a little tardy on the running, and having a lazy dog does not really help. Although, have to say, when Donna is in the mood to go on a fast trot, the human couldn’t help but go along with it!

  7. A walk is not just a walk with you and Donna, and that is great! Looks like you do lots of fun stuff, plus some training in there. Keeps it from getting boring…..and she looks so happy in that last photo!

    • Have to admit there are days I get lazy too… like the whole of last week! XD But it’s always good to have options to stave off the boredom ;)

  8. I really like the photo where she’s sitting on the table and chairs. Very cute! I don’t know what I’d do without a dog to walk every day. I feel awkward walking without a leash in my hand!
