A New Breed of Lion in the City

small shaggy dog
King of the jungle!

He is too small and appears gentle than a lion. It’s just Teddy. I, myself, was surprised and laughed when I’m organizing the shots. How amazing that a change of angle in taking pictures renders an effect—a miniature lion, in this case.

I felt like singing “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and “Hakuna Matata.” Fortunately, he still barks like “arf, arf” and not “growls” like a lion in the savanna.

Aspin Einstein!

a sitting asong pinoy
Looking gentle and wise.

Looks like Teddy needs some combing with the brush beside him. Nonetheless he’s eager to explain the Theory of Cuteness:

E = m(c x c)    

Elationmeeting a cute and cuddly dog like Teddy

It’s that simple. Anyway, do you agree with his formula or will you insist in having his coat be combed?

Shaggy Smiley

A smiling shaggy dog from the Philippines
What are you smiling at?

Is he smiling? I think Teddy is, even if some of his teeth are broken. I bet you’re smiling right now seeing his contagious, adorable smile. How much more if he shows his beady eyes as well!

Meet My Huggable Uncle

A sitting tan mixed-breed dog.
Posing for the photogenic look.

Teddy, Pino’s brother, is the uncle of Chuchie; he was adopted by my cousin who lived next door.Fortunately, I can visit him any time and last Sunday I deliberately visited to take photos. I didn’t have a hard time because he sits when ask and didn’t shy away from my camera (a dog w/o photophobophobia). What makes it funny is that he loves to be photographed. May you enjoy his photos as much as I did in our photo shoot.

The Legacy of a Brother

“The Great Escape,” of Houdini is the term I gave because of the many incidents/time Chie takes off his harness just like someone undressing clothes. I fixed her harness to no avail; she successfully does her tricks.

A collar is unused for 7 months now. It once belonged to Chuckie who is among the first litter of IC. Thus, he is the older brother of Chuchie and whom her name was derived. Chuckie died before he celebrates his first birthday.

It’s only now that I’m writing about him; I didn’t mention him being gone for good in my personal blog. We’ve had dogs that already died but I realized it’s entirely different if you are hands-on from the time they were born. The more you spend time, losing them is harder. Time heals as the saying goes.

And I’m not the only one moving on, even my sister because she allowed Chie to use his brother’s collar. Since she wear it, she no longer perform her great act but we let her loose inside the house where she can ran and play with his family. Otherwise, a leash confined her to a spot.

May she take care of his brother’s legacy. Chuckie also has a t-shirt but it’s still too big for Chie to wear and it’s up for my sister mood to let go of hand-me-down items.

Kermit the “Survivor”

Soulful eyes of strong-willed Kermit

Time flies like in the Neverland of Peter Pan. Kermit is not the way she used to be. She is agile and loves to explore our neighborhood doing dog walking; these qualities didn’t exist when she’s just a few weeks old. To give you an idea, look at Kermit’s photo on which she’s lying inside the basket; whereas, Dyna (spot of black and white) and Cotto (more black than white) are standing and peeking outside, eager to get out. Kermit was born with weak hind legs, a defect we didn’t notice till her siblings were walking and she was left behind trying to move through her strong front legs.  Thus, we knew that no one will adopt her; my parents fortunately agree to keep her.
