Our Vacation, Part I

Thank you, friends, for greeting our human baby on his second birthday. We threw a nice little party for him while vacationing in Iloilo City, with an elephant and a penguin as guests of honor.

Miggy's best friends:
Mambo(penguin) and MingMing (elephant) posing with Miggy's cake.

Some of the food that the grown-ups feasted on.

Bruschetta with sundried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar with a blanket of mozarella cheese.

Alfredo sauce, parmigiano reggiano, bacon, and mushrooms on a bed of spinach flavored fettuccine pasta.

Aki's Manang gave this cute little stuffie to Miggy. Thank you Manang!

Stay tuned for our next vacation story!

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”
