My Top 10 S Things

I was meant to post my first puppy videos in view of Little Chef and Little Abby’s Little Memories Week, but manang had been having problems with uploading them through blogger since yesterday. She will only post the videos on a piece-meal basis so as to avoid blogger from cracking down.

So... to get myself out of boredom, I pawed at our handsome friend, Huskee Boy for a letter to work on- and he gave me the letter ‘S’.

And so here are my 10 favorite things starting with the letter ‘S”

10. Stuffed animals and squeak balls

I love to play with stuffed animals in lieu of my rawhides and squeak balls. I even snatched 'Adoy' from manang's room and asked him to play with me. I though he stole my bone so I tried to get it off his mouth. I never got to hear him respond because manang's voice reverberated in my ear drums after she discovered my new playmate- I think she's just envious because 'Adoy' won't play with her. *pppffft*

9. (the) Sun, sky and stars

I love seeing the sun and stars because it means more play time for me. When the sun/ star is out, then manang, manong and I can play fetch and chase. I love running and drooling. My muscles become soft from lack of exercise when it is raining because manang is afraid that i might catch pneumonia or something. When the weather is good, engaging in any game with my hooman siblings is always a welcome treat.

8. Sunny Singapore

I love Singapore because a lot of my DWB friends are there like the Three Musketeers, Huskee and Hershey and Cocoa and Barley. Manang says this is also where the hoomans can buy quality techie stuff at affordable cost. She plans to go there next year (if her schedule permits- all paws crossed) and buy an 'investment' video camera. I told her that the price of the camera does not guarantee quality videos, unless she can buy good videography skills too. :P

7. Saturdays, Sundays and Sundaes

Who does not love weekends? All the doggies in my block love Saturdays and Sundays because the hoomans are home. Weekends for us means lots of sleeping, eating, playing and slobbering. Manong and I go for our regular Sunday trips to the water station. This is also that day of the week that we meet up with our doggie neighbors and exchange drooly kisses (minus the occasional 'humping' from strangers - *icckk*) and manang buys me vanilla sundae after our morning jogs in the park, so Saturdays and Sundays are the best days in my book.

6. Smooches

See how I love smooches from the hoomans. Manong always gives me a good night kiss on the nose before going to sleep. He also gives me occasional kisses on the top of my head when I do something cute or simply when he misses me. As for manang, I kiss her in order to rouse her from her sleep so she can take me out for my morning potty.

The kiss above is different though. I was actually trying to pry her mouth open and get some of those pik-niks that she is eating.

5. Spaghetti and Pasta Parties

If you have been reading my bloggie, you'd know I'm a spaghetti loving dog. I love spaghetti and pasta parties (although the picture posted was from our Carbonara Day). In my 9 months of doggie existence, I have already hosted 3 pasta parties- 1 Carbonara Day and 2 Spaghetti Days. For us, spaghetti symbolizes a bond of friendship. The hoomans, together with their friends gather together to celebrate good food, carbonated soda, friends and fur friends.

4. Standing Poopie

Seeing my sister do her 'tan-dan-dan' and 'please' dance is always a funny sight- why? because she has to go to extreme lengths just so the hoomans will give her a treat. I, on the other hand, simply shake their hands and voila- food appears effortlessly *evil laughter*.

(manang's note: if blogger doesn't act up, we'll try to post the please dance and tan-dan-dan dance of The Pooper Scooper for our doggie friends' viewing pleasure)

3. Sleeping

manang read an anecdote from somewhere that among the top goals of all dogs are palying, eating and sleeping the day away. I don't think my love for sleeping needs to be expounded. If you doggies agree with me, let me hear some 'zzzzzzzs'

2. Swimming

I L-O-V-E Swimming. They say Labradors are natural swimmers and I do agree. The first time my hoomans brought me to the beach, I frolicked in the water as if we were long lost cousins. I learned how to swim before manang can even think of floating (hahaha!). Swimming is one of the things that I missed the most because we live quite far from the beach. :( When I grow up, I think I'm going to be a life guard dog. I can rescue drowning hoomans and lick them crazy until they restore their consciousness.

1. (my) Skin Siblings (a.k.a Manang and Manong)

I love my siblings so much- my manong, manang, manang tin and R'. They are my family here and they love me unconditionally. I love my sister Poopie also (coincidentally, the term manang means 'sister' in english, so that's another 'S' word!). My manang's eyes brimm at the thought of losing me or any of us for that matter. What we have is a permanent living arrangement and there is no way that she will trade us for anything. Families are for keeps and I am keeping my siblings for good, furry or not.
