Doggie po

David and Goliath have grown big! They turned a month old the other day but unlike with Thirdie who has a cake when he’s a month-old, we celebrated their one-month birthday without anything. I didn’t even bother taking a photo of them. Bad Momma! Now the two puppies can walk and even run! It amazes us to see them by the front door playing in a minute or two after we leave them at the back of the house. Yesterday morning, Ace woke me up telling me that Goliath is calling out by the front door. So cute! He’s pounding his paws at the door as if knocking which Ace calls “doggie po!” (dog version of “tao po”). Those puppies are so cute that we only wish they won’t grow too fast because we will be truly missing their cuteness when they grow big as Puto, Maya and Thirdie.

All by themselves

My heart almost stopped beating when I didn’t see any sign of David and Goliath’s presence when we got home last Sunday evening. We left the dogs last Friday afternoon and we were back Sunday evening. We filled the small basins with dog food and left enough water for the three dogs to consume while we’re away. The puppies are not eating yet so it’s still safe to leave them with Maya. What we didn’t realize early on is that the puppies could already walk! They could pass through the wooden planks of our fence or through the cyclone wires of the neighbor. Ace kept on calling out their names until Goliath (which we also call “Ate”) came out under the wooden pallet. Such a relief! Now that they could walk, we need to make a makeshift cage for them.

That was our first time to leave the dogs that long. So far, so good but I hate doing it again. I kept on worrying about them so I don’t wanna leave them again all by themselves.

Our own David and Goliath

You might be wondering why we’re calling our puppies David and Goliath. Well, see for yourself!

At least David (the spotted puppy) gained weight days after. He’s quite thin when he was born. Goliath (the brown one) grew too fast! I can’t imagine how big and fat she will be months from now. If only there’s a quick weight loss program for dogs, we would probably want Goliath to undergo such thing to keep her lean like Thirdie. She just can’t get enough of milk from Maya but I hope that stage shall pass weeks from now.
