My sons had a field day the other day because one forgot to lock the gate and out went the three dogs. I ran after Aiko and because she is small, I easily caught up with her.

Kiba, our big pitbull, started to run after Sasha but when he was called back by my younger son, Jonathan, he went back home.

Sasha, our labrador, ran all the way to the next street and into a small alley and no matter how hard my eldest son called her, she kept on running, glad that she was free. So the two boys went after her and after a very long chase, they finally cornered and caught her. For this, she was put inside the cage for a whole night so she could learn a lesson. Well, I wonder if she did though. This remains to be seen.

And where was Yuki, our female pit, during the commotion? Well she merely looked at how things were and then she lay down to sleep.

Sorry I wasn't able to update my blog for the past week. I am not really feeling well due to a sudden attack of hypertension. And, I'm waiting for my son, Justin, to upload the photos that I took of my dogs. I really want to share them with you.

Besides, it's the graduation day of my youngest and only daughter so I'm quite busy. Perhaps tomorrow, I can finally write a new post here.

Have a nice day. Don't forget to give your furry friends a long bath. It's summer and the heat is intense.

In Loving Memory of Sheeba

We have cherished this picture of our dog, Sheeba. She's just an "askal" or a mutt ( "askal" meaning "asong kalye" or street dog without breed ) but we still loved her. She died three years ago after doing a heroic act of love.

I still remember how Sheeba saved my father-in-law that day. It was a weekend and usually, we wake up late but on that particular Saturday, I had to wake up early because my oldest son had a school activity and so I had to prepare breakfast for him. As I was doing my chore, I noticed our Sheeba yelping and scratching on the door of my father-in-law's room. I told him to stop but she didn't obey and kept on barking and scratching, as if she wanted me to open the door.

My brother-in-law woke up and tried to open the door which he thought was locked because when he pushed it, it didn't budge. He carried Sheeba from the door and told her to shut up but the dog leaped from his grasp and again went to the door and barked while scratching it. So he tried pushing the door harder and saw my father-in-law lying on the floor. He was unconscious and when I checked his blood pressure, I realized he had an attack. We immediately rushed him to the hospital and the doctor said that if we had delayed, the attack would have been fatal. He still cannot move his right hand until now.

That day, Sheeba saved him. My father-in-law stayed in the hospital for ten days. And a week after, Sheeba died. We brought her to the vet but he didn't see anything wrong with her. She just did not like to eat and grew weaker everyday until she died on her sleep. My daughter and I cried for days. I vowed not to have dogs anymore but as you probably know, I now have four! Still, I terribly miss her.....

Our Very Cute Princess...AIKO

I gave her a slice of bread and the next time I looked, she was already fast asleep with an unfinished portion of the bread in her mouth!




This is AIKO, our one-year-old pug/shi tzu. She's very sweet and so playful.

Yuki is "expecting"!

We are all excited! Our female pitbull, YUKI, is expecting her first litter. The father is of course, KIBA. I hope that there will be one brindle puppy though because I really miss KOGA, our first pit that died two years ago. I will surely keep it, while the rest of the litter will be up for sale. At the moment, we already have two (2) reservations, and already, more are inquiring. We're trying to give her all the supplement that she needs during this stage.

Wish us luck!

Leader of the pack...KIBA

My first post will be about KIBA, our one-year-old male pitbull. We bought him as a birthday gift for my youngest and only daughter because she was grieving over the death of her first pit, KOGA. He was the second to the largest pup among the litter. Before Koga, I was against buying and having a pitbull for a pet because I've watched a television news about two pitbulls attacking people and one even died because of the attack. Pitbulls, they say, are for fighting. Now, I think it is just a misconception. KIBA proved them wrong. He is, in fact, very sweet.

Friends, meet the leader of the pack.... KIBA!
