We got an award!

We got a treat when we visited T-man Angel's blog today. T-man came down from Heaven to receive various awards from his friends and he passed one to us.

Thank you, T-man Angel. The Secretary is so thrilled to receive our very first award since we started blogging. We would like to pass this to Sweepy and Aki, our doggy pals in the Philippines.

Sweepy is a Super Dog who barks at humans who are neglectful or cruel to animals. When we wrote about the plight of stray dogs in Barangay Sto. Tomas in Pasig City, Philippines, Sweepy came to the rescue and barked at the barangay captain to desist from capturing stray dogs because we have gathered evidence that they are not equipped to operate an animal pound in their barangay hall.

We presume that the good barangay captain was afraid to earn the wrath of a Super Dog because we have been monitoring Barangay Sto. Tomas and we have not seen any new stray captured since Sweepy's barkings. There are now only two dogs left from the group that we first saw crammed inside the cage in front of the barangay hall. We can only hope that the other dogs were transferred to the City Pound and dealt with in a humane manner. The cage now has a makeshift roof above it and the remaining two dogs have water. Job well done, Sweepy! Dogs like you inspire us to continue working for the upliftment of neglected and suffering animals out there.

Aki, on the other hand, is a new kid on the block, er, blogging world. He and his companions Pooper Scooper and Dr. Heinz never fail to amuse us with their silly antics and hilarious stories . Reading blogs like Aki's is a good way for us to relax and unwind after being distressed by the bad things happening to animals.

See you next time ( and hopefully more awards to pass on).
