SubscribeIt’s Friday! How time really flies so fast. It seems like yesterday is Monday and now it’s already weekend. It seems like only yesterday when I was forced to go grocery shopping alone (because Ace is at work) because our fur babies (thanks Mommy Julie for naming our adopted pets fur-babies) don’t have food and I need to get some. Man, they eat a lot lately that the budget for a week of food is consumed in just 4 days.*sigh*. It must be the multiple vitamin (thanks to my Vet friend who gave multivitamins for our babies) that I have been mixing in their water that increased the dogs and cat’s appetite. They have consumed everything yesterday and it’s time to buy their food again. Since I am loaded with tasks today, I don’t wanna go out so Ace bought 2 cans of Sardines last night when I sent him to the store to get something. I cooked more than enough rice earlier so the dogs will have rice and sardines later because we’re not going to the grocery until tomorrow afternoon and they won’t have their dog and cat food until tomorrow evening. Hope they will eat what I’m going to give them later so I won’t be forced to go out and get some food for them at the grocery. What a spoiled fur babies!
We are baby-less until this time. Yet we have bunch of “babies” under our care and with our expenses on their dog food and cat food weekly, seems like we are buying a big can of expensive formula milk. The dogs have Alpo while the cat have Whiskas (in can) and with how BIG they eat, we are spending so much on their food. Not that I am complaining. I am even thankful that we have the resources to buy our babies’ foods.
Anyway, here’s our babies….
Meet the prim and proper Maya (second generation of our original dog named Maya). She was given to Ace (from the troop of dogs that my folks have in my hometown) in January 2004. She was 4 months then, I think.
Then here’s super brave Puto. He is half stray dog and half I don’t know. Japanese Spitz maybe. He was given to Ace April of 2005 March of 2006.
Those two dogs were sent here to Davao and given to Ace because my late Mamang (yes, she’s the one who sent those dogs here) sees a “brighter future” for these dogs under our care. Since these dogs are stray, they aren’t that given much care and attention from where they came from especially that there are battalion of dogs in my grandparents’ place.
After more than couple of years of trying, Maya finally conceived last year and bore 5 pups for the first time but only one survived and we called him Thirdie (the 3rd generation of Maya). Thirdie got his built from Puto and coat from Maya.
So those are our dogs and we still have one pet. A stray orange tabby cat we named KiawKiaw. We found KiawKiaw in the street January of 2007 and invited himself to be adopted.LOL. This cat is a big eater of his cat food and he seems not to get enough. Always asking for food!
That’s our troop of “babies”. I wonder how long will they stay with us. I just hope they’ll be with us until they grow old.
Will we be given with the same number of real babies soon? If yes, then we would probably need bunch of life insurance quotes at Wholesale prices and save for that thing. Since we’re still waiting for that time, then we will just enjoy the company of our pets.
KiawKiaw (like any other cat I suppose), loves snuggling. He’s also a lap cat that he just climbs up and sleep on the lap of anybody seated in front of the computer (feeling close!LOL) or even when I or Ace are eating (bad!).
Aside from being a lap cat, KiawKiaw loves taking his nap beside us…beside Ace most especially.
or even on top of Ace’ chest!LOL
even with his awkward sleep position we call “feet up”
or finds comfort in between Ace’ legs (just below the butt actually)
Isn’t he so cute? I find it annoying sometimes especially if I am in deep slumber and he’s snuggling under the comforter with me. When he wakes up, he would wake me up to open the door for him to go out of the room.
