If They Could Speak

Often I wonder who is training whom? I swear there are times when my fur babies would talk if they could. When I sit at the dining table and Hoshi sits properly then looks up at me with one ear slightly cocked and her nose twitching plus the puppy eyes, I know she is saying please, please, please.

My playful Ensign isn't the least bit shy in letting us know what he wants. He is quick to stand on his back paws and wave his front paws in a joyful greeting. He leans in for a cuddle and is quick to put my hand back on his fur if he wants more stroking.

There are times whenHoshi would be in the room with my life partner and he's said that she'd bark to get his attention. Once she had it, she'd do her version of talking. It's amazing! I can't get her to say human phrases though.

I found an interesting article titled What My Dog  is trying to tell me that may be of some help to new pet owners or those like me who just want to get to know their pets more. Love the pics as well as the info provided. I also found an article on 10 Translated Barks for those curious what all the barkings about.

Giveaway from Royal Canin and Pet Express

I went to buy food for my pets today and got something for free (yes, I love freebies). I like this practical giveaway from Royal Canin and Pet Express. For every P2000 purchase with a minimum of P500 Royal Canin purchase, they give away this plastic container. Perfect storage for my fur babies food and looks cool too.

It actually has a divided tray which fits right on topof the container. My kids imediately thought it was perfect for when we go out of town with the whole family.

I don't know up to when this promotion will last but I hope everyone who has their furry friends on Royal Canin gets to have one.

My Fur Babies' Babies

Hoshi and Ensign

Almost three years ago I received a wonderful companion named Hoshi. My little star continues to delight and amaze me every day. She's so smart and utterly loving.  I can't imagine being without her anymore.

I wanted my kids to experience having their own pet and we received Ensign over a year ago. This rambunctious pup has grown into a very playful dog that definitely keeps life interesting.

Shinzon

My fur babies made cute babies. From these 2 came four beautiful and utterly charming fur balls.

I was able to place Shinzon with a friend I had not seen in over a decade. This pup helped us reconnect and she is providing a loving home for my Shinzon.  I hope they bring each other happiness. 

This very active furball was actually the last to find his new home. I am so glad that when I sent out the call, she responded quickly. So cute that as soon as she knew that Shinzon was going to them, they bought him everything they needed - in green.

Saavik

It was apparently love at first sight for Saavik and her new partner. As you can see, she has taken over the bed. He tells me she is the best alarm clock and it is very hard to leave her everyday (boy, can I relate). We know who rules this room!

Sela and Sulu

The last two pups went to a single home. The baby of the bunch, Sela, and the strong but silent Sulu went to my sister and brother-in-law. I love how she color coordinated their designated area and equipment(purple and yellow). Their fur stands out beautifully against the vibrant colors she chose. 

The feisty Sela may be the youngest but she is utterly fierce. Sulu is the sweet one of the bunch. I love to cuddle with this boy. I am just thankful I see them during family gatherings since having them present is automatic on such occasions.

Sela

Sulu

While I love these furballs the entire experience has made me think seriously about having my pup spayed. It is hard to find great homes and it can also be expensive. However I can't imagine putting my pup through surgery. I'm just thankful there are already people waiting in case my furry ones have another litter.

Hunting for Loving Homes

Though they walk on four legs instead of two, my dogs are no less family than my own kids. Giving them up is hard but unfortunately, I can't keep my fur babies puppies due to space concerns. I am looking for permanent loving homes for them and so far I only have one guaranteed home at this point.

It helps that I went through the experience of getting screened as the new family for my Ensign. It gave me a guide for what things to ask and look for in the prospective new families, particularly looking at what they would feed the pup and how they would care for them.
