Gulpy Pet Water Dispenser 30 June 2011  •  2 Comments

The weather has been really weird lately. We get downpours of rain, but every now and then, it’s sweltering heat we need to endure. My dogs are naturally long-haired, so it’s always important to keep them hydrated — at home, or anywhere. Thanks to Bow & Wow, we were able …

Battling the sweltering summer heat 14 April 2010  •  5 Comments

One of the best things about living in a tropical country is never having to worry about preparing for the cold winter. Here in the Philippines, there are only two seasons: wet and dry seasons. We usually have to worry about is water-proofing our houses from the constant rains and …

The FURminator deShedding Tool 3 December 2008  •  6 Comments

Ever since I got back from my trip in Batanes, I’ve been sick on and off lately. My back got wet during the crazy long boat ride when we hopped from one island to another—that’s probably why I got colds after. And because of stress, my long-dormant asthma started acting …

Sheero’s UP Vet Med Teaching Hospital experience 13 August 2007  •  61 Comments

I’ll have to admit that I haven’t been blogging much about my dogs lately. Sheero’s been sick, and I just didn’t have the heart to write about them Marc, my husband, and I normally bring our dogs to Animal House for check-ups and x-rays. My dad prefers the University of …

Bath time! 25 June 2007  •  Be the first to comment

My dogs don’t like taking baths. Or rather, Sheero hates taking baths. Look how pissed she was at me: Choknat wasn’t too happy about the bath either, but I guess he missed hanging out with me so much that he didn’t seem to mind at all: Harry… Well, I really …

Walking a spoiled dog 14 June 2007  •  One Comment

I think it wouldn’t come as a surprise if I say that Sheero is a spoiled dog. She’s famous in the Philippine blogosphere for a dog in her own right (well, in my opinion at least!), and anybody who met her has seen how Marc and I pamper her with …
