I’ve been meaning to blog this since the news broke out, but I just didn’t have the time. Anyway, you guys might have heard of the conviction of a man who shot a Labrador Retriever named Aimee? I actually heard about it first on the evening news. You see, I …

Yay! This is one of the best news I got this year. Frankly, it hasn’t been a very good holiday—it could have been better, for my health at least. I’ve also received one of the worse news a dog-lover would hear from her doctor: my asthma has resurfaced I have …

Pet dangers on a highway 14 July 2007  •  5 Comments

We live along a highway—specifically the Katipunan C5 extension. That’s the main reason why Sheero and I take utmost care when taking a walk (most of the houses and sari-sari stores are across the street).
