We decided to try out Big Fish Small Fish which is located in the middle of the row of container cafes.

Halloween-themed Paw Fest 2017 at i12 Katong Mall

Since dogs are usually not allowed in air-conditioned malls, we grabbed the chance to visit i12 Katong Mall with Donna for the three days it was dog-friendly over the weekend of the Paw Fest 2017 event.

I actually almost didn’t go because it was not clear to me what program they have planned at what time on which day. And also because I already had a busy weekend.

However, I was tempted to go mainly after seeing photos posted by others. HAHA.

The following photos were the results.

We were there mainly for the opportunity to photograph Donna with the Halloween set-up at i12 Katong Mall’s Paw Fest.

Qanvast’s Pet Hacks for a Happier Dog starring Donna

I am a few months late sharing this Pet Hacks video. (OMG!)

Qanvast Hacks: Pet Hacks for a Happier Dog | More home reno & interior design inspiration at Qanvast.

Singapore Special mongrel dogs seem most often asked to act the role of the fierce, barking stray dog for commercials and TV shows, at least it seemed to me. So I was very happy that one media company has bucked the trend. And Donna was very lucky to be involved!

When Qanvast, an interior design and home renovation portal, asked if Donna can take part in a Pet Hacks video collaboration with them, my response was a no-brainer.

No, no, we didn’t mean Pet Hacks literally 😅😅😅

Of course!

What better way to show how adoptable and adaptable a Singapore Special dog in a flat can be than to show her in a video that talks about living in that environment?

😴 I don’t ever wanna get off my comfy human bed in this car, he says. 😴

I’m just so amused by all his different sleeping poses on the lap, below the table, on the table, all while we had lunch at The Workbench Bistro. You can find this Japanese Spitz dog @somewhitecookie. ;)

According to the Internet, Japanese spitz dogs weigh an average of 5-10kg. Not too heavy to put on the lap for a hug. It was like hugging a soft, fluffy wool rug, but rounder, warmer and nicer. HAHA! :P

Dog Adoption Series: Leyla the Black Stray Puppy with White Spitz Sisters

The Dog Adoption Series is a series of interviews with Singapore mongrel dog owners, to highlight the joys and the issues that they face when they adopt a mongrel dog.

Leyla the Black Stray Dog Living with White Spitz Sisters

A post shared by Fluffy | Kira | Leyla (@revers3oreo) on Jan 27, 2016 at 7:28am PST

Puppy Leyla with her Spitz sisters – Fluffy and Kira

Wes is dad to three pups. Mornings would start with breakfast for the three, and then Fluffy, Kira and Leyla would take turns to pee and poo. Wes is their primary care-giver so if the morning happens to be free for him, walks would happen. But if life gets in the way, then they will walk at night instead.

But life wasn’t always like this. Once upon a time there was just Fluffy and Kira, the family’s two Japanese Spitz dogs. So I was curious why Wes chose to adopt a stray black mongrel puppy after his two fluffy, white Japanese Spitz dogs.

If you are curious like me, the mystery ends here! :P
