Did today mark the official opening of Sembawang Dog Run?
Was wondering why the Powers that Be would open a huge dog run right in the heart of a HDB estate- thought they were finally starting to accept dogs, when I realized that... it was in a serene little park separating a huge landed housing estate, and the sea. Ha. Knew it was too good to be true!
So since the sun at 11AM was pretty unforgiving, I thought I'd cab down to SDR because Jacko and Kanon were partaking in the festivities, and perhaps the presence of friends would distract mr. Paws from the presence of sun (yes he hates the sun). Xuanyi didn't join because he was baking croissants!
UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH..Pringles began exhibiting "gate obsession" behaviour, frequently trying to escape from the dog run. Terribly uncharacteristic of him. When Jackomama (or mummy.. I can't tell) pointed out that he was missing Xuanyi, it hit me that this was his first time so far away from home, without Xuanyi > : (
We ended up leashing Jacko and Pringles together.. because everytime Pringles dragged Jacko to the exit, Jacko would return to his mummies. So much for loyalty, Pringlepaws! I is disappoints, you little ingrate. No more gourmet treats for you!
Overall though, the dog run was fairly decent..... but not really the large expanse of space we were looking for! But given that it's like.. $10 away from where we live, I suppose it will do :)
