Dog-on-wheels

Aside from me, Trudis, taking over our blog ( most of it, at least), another new thing for us this 2009 is Scarlet.

Last year, the Secretary was unsure if she could handle the big responsibility of adopting a special needs dog. She still hoped that Scarlet's owner would have a change of heart and commit to Scarlet's care, or that qualified adopter would come along.

Now, Scarlet is officially a member of our family!


This wheelchair took almost forever to construct( I told the Secretary to let a professional handle it), but now that it is up and running, we noticed that Scarlet's forelimbs are too deformed and weak to carry much of her body's weight. The wheelchair, though, is useful for keeping her bum-bum dry and when she has to take a break from lying on her tummy for a long period of time.

Scarlet: " Care for some bitey face, Bambi?"

Scarlet: "You're not playing fair, Jappy!"

Another Adoption Story

I promised to tell you about the puppies' adoption, didn't I? Well, first of all, it almost did not happen because the Secretary had grown fond ( again???) of the puppies and had wanted to keep them. The Animal Doctor gave her a "reality check" and presented to her our food and medical bills, and pointed emphatically that she already has too many dogs. Plus, if I may add, she hardly has time to personally attend to my beauty needs.

Thus, the day of the puppies' adoption came.

Blaze was adopted by the Animal Doctor's client, a woman who recently lost her dog due to old age.

Woody, on the other paw, was adopted by a young boy.

And as for Bambi...

The Secretary moved for reconsideration of the Animal Doctor's decision, arguing that Bambi has not completely recovered from the emotional trauma of having been rejected and passed from one household to another.

Bambi had outgrown what little puppy cuteness she had to begin with. Only a person who can see her inner beauty and the purity of her spirit would be able to make a commitment to care and nurture her. The Secretary is not losing hope and constantly prays for a qualified person to show at our door one day. In the meantime, Bambi will stay with us where everyday she is learning not be afraid,

and how a game of bitey face can be extremely fun!

Doggy Love

The funky artwork you see on the mud guard is my creation, a gift to my hoomans this Valentine's Day( Thanks Bambi for the collaboration). I did not quite expect the Animal Doctor's reaction-how ungrateful-( sniffles) but the Secretary hugged me and told me it was okay.

Happy Valentines Day to all my furriends!!!

For YY

The Secretary is learning how to take pictures with her Nikon D40. These flowers are from their garden in Iloilo City.

We want to offer it to Aki and Poopie's brother in Bacolod City, YY, who met his untimely death just a few days ago. Manang is grieving now, and we want her to know that she is in our thoughts at this difficult time.

Rest in peace, YY
