Today was a very exciting & joyful day for me! Jasymn & Marcus organised a dog swim session @ Tanjong Beach, Sentosa. And this is the 1st time that baobei & me brought ah roy for an outing. Yes, you heard it right, first time outing, if you do not count bringing him for grooming, to the vet or strolling session. Its just like a family outing, coz ah roy is part of our family. (^.^)
I woke up at 7am in the morning, which I usually wouldn't do so on a weekend, hee.... Getting all ready and excited to bring him there. We didn't bring Snoopy along as Uncle said he does not like water. And probably 2 dogs would be too much for us to handle. Feel kinda bad....
We reached there at about 9 plus am, and we tested by putting ah roy in the shallow water first. And he paddled quickly! He really liked swimming, which he displayed by wagging his tail simultaneously, wahaha. After which, we put him a bit further away, and watched him swim back to the shore. He was so adorable!!! Kawaii!! It was so fun watching him swim and treading water.
Kindof regreted not using my hp to video his swimming session. And baobei's camera battery was spoilt. Luckily the rest have brought cameras along.
He is a certified Good Swimmer! :)
But the strange thing was, he does not like walking on the sand. When we put him down, expecting him to walk back to the shelter area, he does not move a single bit. Staying stationery at where he was. Alas!!! I only realised that he doesn't like it, because after we bathe him and placed him on the pavement, he actually walked & ran as per normal. And I also discovered one thing, he is very afraid of the cold. He kept shivering profusely after dipping in the sea water.
Overall, it was an enjoyable & fun session. Ah roy also gets to make some new friends. Maya, zai zai, jia jia and niu niu were all there. And breakfast (Roti prata) was provided, courtesy of Jasymn & Marcus. Thanks to them!
After the dog swim session, we went to this restaurant at Science Park, where you can bring along your pets. But its only restricted to seatings at outdoor area only. Nice ambience for a cozy, leisure afternoon lunch or coffee. After lunch, we proceed to purchase some dog stuff at Annie's pet shop located at Boon Lay shopping complex. Bought 2 dog collars, (purple & red colour) one each for ah roy & snoopy, a retractable dog leash and a dog ear wipe solution, which was recommeded by Nena.
Baobei said he was tiredz. Me too. But I thought it was such a valuable outing which we don't get to do it every other day. We should go again sometime. Btw, today's weather was damn erratic lor, early morning it was drizzling. Then sunny again. Then while eating lunch, it rained heavily. Stopped. And by the time we reached home, it rained heavily again. Weird weather indeed...
Oh, I would be uploading photos of the dog swim session later on at my multiply account.
Do add me @ http://bubbles1579.multiply.com/ inorder to view them.
I find it such a chore uploading here on the blog, as each time I would have to edit as the text seems to go hay wire after inserting pictures. And seems like I could not upload multiple pics at the same time. Can anyone enlighten me??? Hmm....
