Moy-Moy goes to school

Hiya guys! I have been neglecting my blog duties lately, even Aki Mistui from Cebu, Philippines noticed. Its not because the Animal Doctor had ran out of biscuits ( I don't blog for biscuits, thank you), but because I have been going to school!

Yep, my professor had some time to conduct a Basic Obedience and Agility Training class here in Greenwoods Executive Village every Saturday at 7 o'clock in the morning. The Secretary brings me to class, along with my water jug and my treats.

I watch as my classmates perform.

There is this dog in our class who just couldn't stay still and stop barking. Err, was that me?

Well, cross my paws that I learn to sit, stay and do other things on command after eight weeks!

Hiya Sherwin! Thanks for saying that I am gorgeous! (The Animal Doctor promised to help me look up "gorgeous" in the dictionary later). Oh, the Secretary is in Iloilo right now, but she already saw your post and is thrilled about it, especiallythat one of your blog readers already contacted us and wanted to adopt one of the puppies. Isnt that great? Thanks to Mefindhome blogspot!

Hiya Aki! Thanks for taking interest in my age, I have been wondering about it myself. You see, I was abandoned when I was a puppy and the (bad) humans did not even bother to leave my birth certificate! The Animal Doctor can only guess my age by looking at my teeth- about six or seven months. I may still be a puppy but I'm all grown up, as you can see.

Arrgh, the Aspin pups are making me crazy, they want nothing but play, play, play! I tell them big boys like me can't play all day. Don't ya agree?

The Tale of My Wheelies

In January 2009, I was officially adoptedby my Animal Doctor and his wife, the Secretary.

My new Mom could not bear to see me struggle with my paralysis. In September, she hatched a crazy plan to get me a professionally made wheelchair. It seemed crazy then because she had no idea where or how to get me that wheelchair. With 6 rescue dogs in addition to the 9 she originally have, money was only good to spend on food and basic health necessities.

Mom applied for financial assistance to Labrador Life Line, an organization helping needy labradors in the US. LLL approved a 500US$ financial assistance to purchase my quadcart from Eddie's Wheels which could cost between 800-1200 US$. Mom had to raise the remaining funds to purchase the wheels and to pay for shipping.

Mom got cold feet because she's never raised funds before. But our friends were there to help us. Some gave up money for their toys and treats to chip in to my wheelchair fund; others sent encouragements so Mom would not give up. And there were some who unselfishly shared a spot in their blog to spread my story. I could not believe it, but we were able to raise the money needed to purchase and ship my wheelchair! And the extra good news is, Eddie's Wheels gave us a discount on account of my being a rescued dog.

On January 28, 2010, my wheelchair finally arrived in the Philippines. This is it, my dream finally happening. I owe it to all of you.

In Memory of A Special Dog

Goodbye, T-man,
You are gone, but not forgotten,
Run all you can in heaven.

We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan.” —Irving Townsend from “The Once Again Prince”
