Life’s Lessons

We were out for days and left the dogs with enough food and water. When we got home yesterday afternoon, we found out Puto is dead. Sadness!

Puto is one of our oldest dog. I guess he’s 6 years old (based on human age). When a dog at my grandparents’ place gave birth years ago, Mamang decided to send the cutest puppy here so he could have a “better life”. I could remember bringing Puto to Davao with us after our holy week vacay in Kabacan. It was the last short stay in Kabacan that Mamang was still alive. Weeks after that, Mamang got seriously ill and she passed away soon enough. Because of how Puto ended up in our care, he is one of the most special because of Mamang.

Indeed, Puto is one of the lucky dogs because Ace was able to feed him and Maya with dog food ever since. He became Ace’ favorite…and playmate too. He may be domineering but he is sweet…and the cutest dog we ever had!

We are still grieving for the loss of our cutest Puto. We will be forever thankful for 6 long years of companionship and for guarding us and our house. Nothing could ever repay the joy and headaches he has brought us.

Rest in peace, PUTO. You will surely be missed!

The moment I see these cute little ducks, I asked the bird handler if they are selling ducklings. I love to take home those cutie! Sadly, they are not. They are just breeding for the bird park and not for sale. Sad!

Aren’t they so cute? Must be nice to have pets like these Daddy’s farm! Stay tuned for more bird photos coming up next!

Not everybody are passionate to animals. I am thankful that as much as I am inclined into gardening, Ace loves adopting animals as pets. It started with one cat, then a puppy. Now we already have five dogs and one cat! When our cat – KiawKiaw – is still a kitten, we looked around pet shops to check if they have toys for cats. Apparently, we didn’t found one and even a scratch post is not available at the pet supply stores. We just bought him a ball of yarn to play with. Our dogs didn’t have much toys too. A ball is all that they have. Too bad that pet shops does not carry variety of pet supplies except for the leashes, the feeding bowls, collars, grooming supplies, and large dog beds.

How I wish Premium Pet Supplies 4U is within reach. I might be their frequent costumer of toys for cats and dogs. Even other pet supplies that our adopted fur babies need. Ace has the tendency to spoil the fur babies so I am sure he will bug me to shop for them if he sees those dog treat and dog toys, including those cute dog clothes! He used to play dress up with Thirdie before using his old shirts. He would then be thrilled to play with our two puppies now if we could get them their cute puppy clothes.
