They're Back

You know what's amazing about these dogs, especially Jasper? He can detect our car when it's approaching, even if it's still far at the corner of the street.

He is always excited to see us come home. But ooh, so noisy, if only he could tone down his barking a little, but what joy to see his tail wag-to-death, heheh.

Do you know that one of the greatest fear of a dog is the thought of his owner not coming back for him?

This is why they get so anxious when left alone for a long period of time. Possibly, this is the reason why Joaqui chews on his paws at times. Hmmp.

Get That Ball

Look at him dive for that blue ball.

This canine loses all senses when he encounters a ball, of any size.

I am careful that he doesn't swallow any of his toys, in part or in whole, that would really really be bad for Joaqui.

I don't give toys that are too small or those that can easily be broken into pieces. For his teddy bears, I take of the button eyes. Final advise, do watch them at play with these things just to make sure they do not do anything harmful to themselves because of the toy.

Vomiting is a sign that they might have swallowed something (like the cotton or the threads of the stuff toy or a big chunk of their chewable bones).

Goldilocks' Bear

Joaqui has a new toy, a little golden bear. He was kinda shy when I took his photo with the new toy or he was telling me, in his own way, that he doesn't want to be disturbed, heheh.

So cool just watching this doggie with all his quirks.

Good Grooming Experience

Gotcha!


"Grooming time, Joaqui. Play later if you behave during grooming".

Yup, I give Joaqui little treats after grooming to make his grooming experience a bit positive.

Happiness with the Family

Happiness is . . . having a fun mom and fun sisters.

It's all about having a great family, including pets!

Enjoy Life

We need to understand that God gives us the grace to live today. He has not yet given us tomorrow's grace, and we should not worry about it. Learn to live one day at a time. By an act of your will, choose to start enjoying your life right now. Learn to enjoy your family, friends, health and work; enjoy everything in your life. Happiness is a decision you make, not an emotion you feel. God gives us His peace on the inside, but it's up to us to tap into God's supernatural peace. To enjoy your best life now is to choose to be happy this morning. Life is too short not to enjoy every single day. Joel Osteen
















As we have been advised, enjoy your family, friends, health and work; enjoy everything in your life. That includes enjoying life with your PETS. Face a new today. Bless you!

My Children At Play

The hairy critters at play . . .

Such a joy to look at them . . . but a big responsibility to take in these doggies, whom I treat as my additional children.

Was not too hot to have them at first, but am hooked to having them as my pets (addition to the family) NOW.

Toys and Decors

I suddenly recalled these schnauzer figurines, so cute, capturing the significant features of the breed, plus they seem to be in motion.

Always in motion? Wait, that would be my mini-schnauzer. Joaqui would surely be "shiveringly" thrilled and in motion when at play with his toys.

He is crazy over this one, a "supposed-to-be" zebra rubber toy which he fights with full energy. He is so out-of-his head with this.

But nothing tops a "ball". Joaqui will definitely do anything to play with a ball, of any size, that is.

Just love, taking his photos playing with a ball. Sometimes, I really wonder how he is able to just toss it in the air like a little child.

Ah, dogs, forever the playful creatures.
