The Pooper Scooper’s First Ever Birthday Pawty (Part 1)

I just turned one yesterday, March 22, 2008. In celebration, we have decided to do something different.

Last weekend, we had managed to mail all the airline tickets to all our puppy friends just before their scheduled flight on Saturday night. Trudis, Scarlet and Sweepy will all be coming in from Manila, together with the Goldens- Paco & Milo, Cody and Dr. Dino, Huskee and Hershey, Scottie, Maggie and Mitch, Addie, Bailey, Bobby and the Mop and Ms. Khyra, who will all travel from Singapore, Malaysia, Europe and the US, en route Manila.


Addie and Cody came solo because the Department of Foreign Affairs would not issue pawsports to Lucie and Joyce, because they were still underage. Meanwhile, Hershey managed to sneak in Huskee’s luggage and made her way to Cebu hassle-free.

We all went out of the airport and headed over to the Hilton aboard their pink jeepney-inspired service vehicle.

While having breakfast there, I told our guests that we will be checking in at the Hiltons for the night. Unfortunately, when we got to the place, the boys remarked that it was a little too pink for their taste.

So, we headed over to the Shangri-la where the surroundings was more ‘neutral’.

After relaxing a bit and having a drink of buko juice along the beach, I informed the girls to dress “comfortably” for our next activity.

We then proceeded to the Regency to experience the newly opened sky rides. We were told that it was the first in the world, and we were all excited to experience it.



We directly proceeded to the 38th floor and decided which ride to take. The edge coaster allowed only a total of eight persons per cart, so most of us girls opted for the sky walk.

BFFs Addie and Cody volunteered to do the edge coaster together, but when Addie realized that the cart will be tilted to a maximum of 50 deg., she begged off because she was still feeling a little queasy from the long trip from Texas.



Huskee also wanted to do the edge coaster but apart from the others, only Hershey was game enough to ride it. Upon seeing that Addie bailed off, Huskee immediately jumped at the chance to be paired with Cody. Prior experience with Hershey taught him that the poor girl had a bad case of chewing incidents and he was afraid that she would chew her way out of the safety lock, sending them hundreds of feet to the ground.



Aki was feeling a little macho, so he volunteered to take the edge coaster together with Cocoa. The ride operator said that he was too big to be paired with Cocoa so they should take different carts instead.

look, manang, no hands!

peace, yo!

Hey, Barley! Here comes Underdog!

Maggie and Mitchy decided to take the ride together. Maggie was the only girl brave enough to take the edge coaster *applause* there were even times when we thought we heard Mitch shrieking. He said it was only because a bug got stuck in his beard.
