Socializing at Pets Picnic Party, Sentosa Cove

Last Saturday, the Furry Tales attended the Pets Picnic Party at Sentosa Cove, along with 500 people and 250 pooches gathered for an afternoon of fun, games, food, shopping and mingling!

Organized for the third year by Pets Magazine, the event allowed like-minded dog owners and families to get to know each other and foster bonds within the local canine-loving community.

Our dogs enjoyed the afternoon of socialization and meeting new friends. They were also hoping for some of the yummy Thai food and snacks provided.

The food’s for us too, right?

However, we did find it a tad loud (and at last year’s event as well), especially when the emcee got excited and raised his voice while conducting the games. Next year, we will try to come earlier to find a space closer to the back!

Retail therapy was available, including handcrafted jewellery, glamorous pet collars, and customised pet portraits. Other activities included an adoption drive by Save Our Street Dogs (SOSD), entertaining games that saw furry ones pitting their “skills” against one another, and a ‘Pup-tor’ booth for pups to make new friends. Sponsors were generous with their prizes, including a GoPro HERO Session and Fetch Mount (total $600), a half-day luxury yacht charter ($1,800) and a 3D2N stay at Capella Singapore ($2,400). Sadly, we didn’t win anything. We’ll try harder next time!

Our mamas are so cheap this was the best costume we got!

The event was a job well done by the Pets Magazine team and we enjoyed it even more than last year’s picnic. Thanks for a fun-filled outing!

#PetsPicnicParty2015

The Furry Tales were invited to be a part of this year’s Pets Magazine event – the Pets Picnic Party 2015! Despite the initially rainy weather and thereafter humid and muggy air, turnout was good and spirits were high. Dogs and humans got up close and personal on their picnic mats, with plenty of cold drinks and snacks going around.

Great turnout for this years #petspicnicparty2015

Tanya and calm assistant Muddy did a 15-minute Doga demonstration to introduce a few simple poses and massages we could do with our dogs. They did an awesome job!

Erm, Olive tried, she really did!

(If you are interested in trying out doga, TFT are holding an introductory class on 28 June at Fort Canning Park! See end of post for further details.)

Olive and Muddy really enjoyed all the other dogs there, greeting old friends and meeting new ones. At an event like this, there is a lot of socialization going on and we were pleasantly surprised by how everyone got along despite the cozy spaces (the humans too)!

Cory, Cole, Olive and Muddy say hi. Cory might be feeling left out…he is after all shorter, and whiter…haha!

It was also sweet Twinkle’s barkday and we got to celebrate with some delicious Barkery cake!
