Paws & Furs 2019

Tanjong Pagar GRC incumbent Members of Parliament.

Decided to stop by Paws & Furs 2019. It was held at Tanglin Deck (beside Tanglin Regency condominium and across from the multi-storey HDB carpark at Block 129A Clarence Lane), which was small, but still conducive for humans and pets. Apparently Paws & Furs is an annual community event organized by the Tanjong Pagar GRC and Radin Mas SMC. Well, it obviously isn't of interest to us till this year. Heh. Although we don't live near Tanjong Pagar or River Valley now, we're still bounded within the Tanjong Pagar GRC,

It's not a closed-door event, but since it called for registration of humans and pets, we dutifully registered our attendance. To our surprise, we received a goodie bag sponsored by Pet Lovers Center. Inside held fish kibbles, some chicken terrine, a chicken jerky and the March issue of pets. Hmm... I'll just keep the magazine and pass on the food and treats. I was pleasantly surprised that that there was a buffet table of little snacks for pets! The snack cups held kibbles, meatballs and tiny chews—redeemable for registered pets with a blue coupon. Clearly you'd know whether your pets are allergic to it, and decide whether to feed them with it. I asked for a cup of meatball with beef and vegetables.  The kibbles were salmon. As expected, Choya picked out the meatball and kibbles to polish them off, but left the jerky, biscuits and dental chews. Hahaha.

There were of course many dogs, big and small. Birds (parrots and cockatoos mainly) and cats in bags and baskets went too. We saw a few cute rabbits sitting in bags as well. We went at 10am and left by 11am, so it wasn't that hot yet. The weather has cooled with the week's rains. There were some competitions going on- 'Best Dressed Pets', 'Pets Treasure Hunt', etc, along with a cheerleading demonstration from primary school kids. I didn't get the details because we didn't about those. We were there to see the booths/brands at the event and soak up the uhhh... barking, and importantly, socialize Choya to new smells, sights and sounds, and crowds.
