I tried this quiz on my three favorite dogs, and guess who they ended up to be?

Shantee is Paris Hilton!

The pet celebutante who started it all, Shantee is notorious for attracting camera crews wherever her peticured little tootsies take her. Always looking for a good time, play comes first and work comes… well, let’s just say you’re still waiting for that so-called work part to come. The only problem with Shantee is that she hasn’t really found her calling yet, unless sneaking in the back door of the hippest spots in town can be considered a calling. But, as it goes with royalty, she was born into it and wears the tiara divinely, so Shantee is in no real rush to secure one of those “job” thingies. Her pet worth is in the gazillions, which guarantees continued appearances on Lifestyles of the Rich and Furry.

Harry is Will Ferrell!

For a while Harry was just funny on Saturday nights, but that’s all changed now that he’s taken his act on the road. Whether he’s being silly in real life or on the silver screen, Harry has a true knack for making people crack up. Harry has even managed to make the crossover to the cyberwebs, where he delivers raw, fresh, uncooked humor to his countless cyberpet fans. A fast runner, Harry runs marathons when he’s not dreaming up his next slapstick routine. Widely talented and able to impetsonate any number of two and four-legged critters, Harry’s fans will be lapping it up for a long time to come.

Choknat is Mick Jagger!

The ePETome of someone who knows how to have a good time, Choknat is a mover and a shaker, onstage and off. His luck with his lady friends is legendary and Choknat has obliged many of them by giving them a little shelter. Known for his unique barking, Choknat relishes his time in the spotlight and loves to let loose and give his audience what they expect. Unable to get satisfaction, he and his pals still paw away at the prize, clinging to the memories of the past as he continues to churn out the hits that made him a leader of the pack.

Shantee and Peter met a LOT new “friends,” though I don’t think Shantee liked the alligator at all. Hehe. We have more behind-the-scenes photos with Shantee’s new animal friends, but posting them before the feature could ruin the surprise So for now, we’ll just show you a few snapshots of Shantee’s first ever (and probably the last) trip to Manila Zoo.

Normally, pets aren’t allowed within Manila Zoo. And with good reason—doing so could turn nasty for your pet and the zoo animal. You don’t know how the animals would react to each other, and that’s a risk that the zoo doesn’t want to take. Bringing Shantee and the other pet animals was a special case—Rated K had to get a permission from the zoo and reserve an entire area for their event.

To be honest, Marc and I only let Shantee mingle with the pets brought in for the event. We only took pictures with the zoo animals we passed by on the way to the reserved venue.

Ok, I’ll have to admit that we were worried Shantee would pick up illness from the other animals—they weren’t really well taken-care of. The state of the animals in Manila Zoo is a far cry from those healthy animals in Zoobic. And yes, this may sound really snobby, but Marc and I also didn’t want Shantee get her paws dirty. There weren’t any trash on the ground, but the walkways were quite dusty. I would be the one carrying Shantee during the blessing, and I didn’t want getting dirt on me.

As an animal-lover, mingling with animals is always a treat. But I was torn between pity and fascination when I looked at some of the animals at Manila Zoo—I wanted to take home some of the monkeys and bring them to the vet or something. It’s the same pity that strengthened my resolve to work even harder so I’d become rich enough to have the resources to rescue and rehabilitate sickly and abused animals. That’s actually one of the reasons why we have so many dogs here at home—some of our dogs just showed up at our doorstep one day seeking shelter and food.

My experience last Thursday was the perfect example of “bittersweet”—a mixture of happiness and sadness. It was a sad thing seeing the zoo animals needing more care than they seem to be receiving, but meeting fellow animal-lovers and their pets was an incredible experience—you can just see the love emanating between the handlers and their pets. And that, is a rare moment that I’d love to see again and again

Many thanks to the Rated K crew for giving our pets a moment in the spotlight and bringing together this wonderful group of people!

I made some captions and uploaded photos of my dogs. Here, take a look!

Shantee, Harry, Choknat, the spirit of Sheero and I are hoping they’d be featured on the I Has A Hotdog homepage. They would LOVE to be internet stars!

Shantee was already getting grumpy and pissy by the time we took this pic yesterday at Serendra in Bonificio Global City. The sales ladies were kind enough to let Shantee pose on their huge logo sculpture outside the Crumpler store, and it wasn’t just because Marc bought a ridiculously expensive camera-laptop backpack from them. They found her cute, even if she was already getting grumpy. I guess Shantee was tired by that time and wanted to get some beauty sleep

This pic is one of my favorite Shantee photos so far—a grumpy-looking dog in the Crumpler logo Anyhoo, click here if you’d like to see more of Shantee’s morning adventure in Serendra!
