In relation, Poopie and I also made a resolution to continue to pester her to update our blog and visit our friends. :) I hope that would put and end to this dry blogging spell.<br /><br />The last few months had been momentous, inspirational and heartbreaking for us.<br /><br />We witnessed the joys of having one of our dearest friend, sweet <a href="http://www.theanimaldoctor.blogspot.com/">Scarlet</a>, finally raise the needed funds to realize her wheelchair dreams. Thanks to all of you who prayed, donated and spread the word, it will now be a matter of time before she will finally realize her lifelong dream to somehow live a normal pup’s life.<br /><br />We (i.e. Poopie and the hoomans) witnessed a near breakdown when I got too busy trying to make a breakaway days before Christmas and gave my paws and leg a nasty cut. Manang and Manong felt so hopeless, having gone to their hometown already while I was left here at the care of my Veterinarian nanny.<br /><br />We witnessed how fragile and uncertain life really is. How one day everything can seem perfect and seemingly endless and the next day, one is left with nothing but a series of whys, hows, whens and only an endless stream of precious memories. Within two days before and after the close of the year, we were involuntarily given two angels in the Rainbow Bridge.<br /></div><div align="center"><br />Gen.

She is roughly a one and a half year old Labrador Retriever just like me. She leads a happy contented life in the care of one of my favorite persons in the world- The Secretary and <a href="http://theanimaldoctor.blogspot.com/">The Animal Doctor</a>!<br /></div></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><div align="justify"></span><br /></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406187916722025298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 270px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhagkV_ZdHQv8YksTmI1lC2yBIFco6pdE9XGEFx9ZAmWh3rfo8o8JbnSylfZyjrdfJ_9F865DYfvO9vBNqyGXmN32E5PbqOiZhCe386UwKYAgMocVLlWKCJMM6HUFhrLR2PgITd-Ke-SmNP/s320/scarlet9.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Unlike Poopie and myself though, Scarlet has a little secret. Those who had been to their bloggie know this already but for those of you who don’t allow me to tell you what little I know about this wonderful, beautiful puppy who owns one of the biggest heart I know!<br /><br />Scarlet first came to the life of my Mommi Lilli- the Secretary about a year ago. By that time, she was not yet officially part of their family but a patient.<br /></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406187899683662482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 244px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh41L1AZMXYP0gjpkP6e0AKChllSYOcLp5gvvyQ-kAUUGwQ3gpNM5-dn-fMb3koyGxVTzi0Cqlte6EWCbrWDCBK-u3sCVX3BWIf5EhufHBjnTuBh0tLbSLxk2N0LdRCFXyEL9U_KirUT-nL/s320/scarletsecond+day.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p align="justify">Scarlet’s case was a case of neglect. She started out with an injury after her leg got stuck in her cage’s matting. She was not immediately brought to the vet after then. Her ex-mom only brought her for a check-up at The Animal Doctor’s clinic after her legs already started to atrophy. It was a complicated case and it entailed a lot of expenses for her ex-parents. Realizing the gravity of Scarlet’s condition, her parents decided to just bring her home and let nature take its course.<br /><br />It was at that time that an angel tapped The Secretary and told her to not give up on Scarlet. What started as a temporary agreement between The Secretary and Scarlet became a permanent set-up as the weeks go by. Scarlet’s ex-parents communicated less, paid even less and soon enough gathered enough sense and left her in the care of her new loving family.<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />At that time, only her hind legs were affected and she was still able to make full use of her fore arms. Despite this little piece of good news, Scarlet was already unable to do things that most of us enjoy doing- do zoomies, gallop like silly horses, wrestle with our peers, etc.<br /></p></span><p><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406205515902985010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDZyF9CemPXEbIohJEoDnmZDHqjI2FBKXGXnWhJxvlBBwM1YeJgXE2mLiJgGJ3mWUa_AMZKuouxdQin5-zcxQF1swuL0P8OVkyroqhsObkOB8_nuhX8TMotvvMnLwqEA5pbWoVGmSnDN4s/s320/scarlet.jpeg" border="0" /><br />In the past year, Scarlet dealt with so many problems. She had been unable to move her bowel for so many months, her spinal cord had become deformed in the middle and there is a sort of mass just underneath the arc.<br /><br />The Secretary, who was a lawyer by profession, took the role of an architect cum engineer and designed for her a wheelie. Unfortunately her forelimbs started to atrophy as well, making it more difficult for her to maneuver the equipment.<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></p></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ7mLjwBTV-wD_OsBnjWiylfOFeq1j7-Ga_OKtldxcZS8LgRYQtvu-sl5QETtaCb49ADXsetAPrrWEJ886Q94oFt_a_7X97yrgZsbxgN8NYe6miuBfihpB20UjyQii_PxjAtJPscXkJAH1/s1600/DSC_0887-edited.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406195433713194354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 292px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ7mLjwBTV-wD_OsBnjWiylfOFeq1j7-Ga_OKtldxcZS8LgRYQtvu-sl5QETtaCb49ADXsetAPrrWEJ886Q94oFt_a_7X97yrgZsbxgN8NYe6miuBfihpB20UjyQii_PxjAtJPscXkJAH1/s320/DSC_0887-edited.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Scarlet was left with no choice but to move using her belly.<br /><br />Despite all these, Scarlet never gave up.

She lives it as if she’s no different from any other dog in her family. She is a special dog who came to live with The Secretary because of her special needs. And as I think about it more, I realized that that’s what she really is. In one word, Scarlet is indeed “Special”.<br /><br />A few weeks back, The Secretary shared with us an exciting news. A wonderful lady from an organization called Labrador Life Line (LLL) had volunteered to bring Scarlet’s plea and ask LLL to give it a kinder look. With the organization’s help, they would be able to get a full quad cart for Scarlet and finally allow her to live a more normal life.<br /><br />The full quad cart would however cost between US$800 – US$1,300, exclusive of shipping charges since the cart would be built in the U.S. and shipped to the Philippines. As of November 17, 2009, LLL had approved US$500 for Scarlet’s quad. That leaves her with US$800 more to raise in order to afford a complete set of working legs.<br /><br />Considering the state of the ‘conomy these days, The Secretary and The Animal Doctor have proposed to cover all kind donations with free medical services to less fortunate dogs in the Philippines:<br />* 50$ neuter of male cat</span></p><span style="font-family:arial;">* 100$- spay of female cat, neuter of male dog</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">* 200$ spay of female dog.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">At the end of our fund raising campaign, we will conduct a one day feeding of dogs and cats in Brgy. Sto Tomas, Pasig City which was badly hit by the recent flood. We are sure that the animals would enjoy a fresh home cooked meal of rice and assorted meat.<br /><br />We know the importance and value of every single penny and centavo nowadays. We too, are experiencing the adverse effects of the dwindling ‘conomy.<br /><br />We posted this to take a chance and shamelessly appeal to those who have a few more pennies to spare.

For those who asked if we were able to go to the beach last Sunday, Yes, we did. And yes, the weather was terrific! Thank you so much for those who helped us in praying for good weather. :)<br /><br />We went to Karancho Beach Resort, which is among the series of resorts lining Marigondon in Lapu-Lapu City.<br /><br />For a normal Sunday, it was a little too crowded but then it was such an experience because we met with our old friends and made new friends as well. There were lots of dogs in the place too: their resident Great Dane, Scooby (who was too shy to even show us a glimpse of his fur); a German Shepherd, Miniature Pinscher and of course, our frenemy Belo the Poodle.<br /><br />However, the best part in this entire beach trip for me is that Poopie, yeppers, The Pooper Scooper herself, finally shed all her inhibitions and for the first time, had the time of her life at the Beach! (We sure did not see that coming!)<br /><br />We hope you’ll enjoy watching our humble slideshow. We promise to post our favorite videos once the hoomans figure out how to save it into a readable format *rolls eyes* </span></p><p align="justify"></p><p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxiPWL8bedaRO4G_F5IHV2ot6V0Xz2y5dgW-RTvFlzcS9cc7-faq6b4E1RQOQAsa7CdMKgYLR9W4LQPGF9Rzg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p align="center"> </p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:arial;">Happy Wednesday everyone!! </span></p>Aki and Poopiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841540804015310163noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529414938105527561.post-45527920796951119192009-10-23T14:42:00.009+10:302009-10-23T16:23:21.274+10:30Poopie Rx<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">In his earlier posts, my good buddy Huskee Boy had been having problems with his new ‘do’ after a recent visit to the groomer.<br /><br />I found that his excessively trimmed fur had already affected his confidence to pose for pictures (If you’ve noticed, there has been a shortage of Huskees and instead, we’ve been seeing more and more of the Black and White one)<br /><br />For someone who had to contend with having short fur for his entire existence, I felt that more research is in order if I intend to help out in regaining my buddy’s confidence.<br /><br />I proceeded to ask my brother Guan Long, who, last Christmas, had a terrible skin problem and had to be shaved off of his handsome locks but now looks amazing!</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></div></span><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395662891553988994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_lckJ5Zqs-5H5fDxctGtes8pgqlbEC1G-xAhaaOg7uMxZ6LAeFMMu93qG_IIF36aMYlFci08Tdlf5tWc35fURMGFrudybNV-qAawZ8H6u8rc28qTJQAoQ5myaiWsqu0DSb8ezYf5mHs80/s320/Guan+Long.JPG" border="0" /></span></p><div align="justify"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Thankfully, he was able to share with me a few secrets:<br /><br />For coarse and/or thinning fur all over the body, we can always rely on a daily dose of Coat Shine or Fish Oil. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /> </div></span><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395662882924673202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYB4ZhMKknexyJFBhtH2zGtsY5TM57VqZ26Ob_OOL4kuzNDc_1Z1hYF9amJapJJGvPTLxauUHXOqDgRaA_gFn3FKoxg8h81EeCJ1rUDU83LBOI-aDbSXyPiMMe3NBXOHA6AhVQfVLtJYDU/s320/DSC_0455.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><div align="justify"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">For less serious conditions, a good shirt always hits the nail when wanting to cover up unwanted body fur appearance (or the lack of it). </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /> </div></span><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnC99aABwjvi4E6kxlWyf7ZUkOhxTKwExs8Df5s5OvMGhSTuAarePbzLC7WEjx_21g0HBciKX6I9JIp0B6GySvsGGCEbk1cu057YXvxePhqDucgxvpDePGiqixCUujeikQp8fvYQmEOVLM/s1600-h/DSC00016.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395662894551103554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnC99aABwjvi4E6kxlWyf7ZUkOhxTKwExs8Df5s5OvMGhSTuAarePbzLC7WEjx_21g0HBciKX6I9JIp0B6GySvsGGCEbk1cu057YXvxePhqDucgxvpDePGiqixCUujeikQp8fvYQmEOVLM/s320/DSC00016.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">In the case of Huskee, however, he made mention of his ears appearing as if it were chopped off aside from being sort of “nekkid”.

First, we had typhoon Ketsana and then less than a week after, typhoon Parma entered the country. Although we live many nautical miles away from the scene of devastation, Poopie and I both feel that it is incumbent upon us to help our unfortunate brothers and sisters.<br /><br />Last Monday, we sent our hooman to Makati in Metro Manila to inspect the place and let us know the extent of damage in the affected areas. Five days after, she came back with no updates/ news that were any different from the ones in the TV screens. We were informed though, that to this date, many are still stranded in their homes with water levels up to their waists (Filipinos are relatively shorter than most Caucasians and Asians, so it might be a few inches lower for most of your hoomans).<br /><br />Poopie and I remembered that the hooman had a handy life vest hidden somewhere in the cupboards, so we both decided to give it a try before volunteering in the rescue operations. <a href="http://theinuogler.blogspot.com/2009/05/our-ginatilan-getaway-part-2.html">Capt. Jack Sparrow’s rubber boat</a> would have greatly helped, but it was not for rent so we are really left without much options.<br /><br />After fitting the hooman’s vest, any illusions of being a Baywatch babe/stud vanished into thin air.<br /><br />Well, Poopie sure was no Pamela Anderson…<br /></span><br /></div><p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqExhGDIDW4irdDVx-YvdrMZ5LyfOpKlF6sj35wah-RgFSyYR8yCC_1GOaAefTJLQK98OM89FiAOhXkXhNu9tNBtHsEQOiMFETUezkTJTEoEmDfOf6NPWwXERxV91N-ACRxjhqandVOOXI/s1600-h/DSC_0342.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389287101391235762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqExhGDIDW4irdDVx-YvdrMZ5LyfOpKlF6sj35wah-RgFSyYR8yCC_1GOaAefTJLQK98OM89FiAOhXkXhNu9tNBtHsEQOiMFETUezkTJTEoEmDfOf6NPWwXERxV91N-ACRxjhqandVOOXI/s320/DSC_0342.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">And let’s just say that I looked more like a hotdog (and I don't mean our good friend Lorenza and Hailey :) ) than a beach stud…<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-fT-U6qsRyVeckLzWdbpx-JM70-9-ajmBCYbkGS9ObQ4KkXLVzpCJ0V0XHVSmFAIHKjG-7tBB9go3KIqJd-L7xGpk0eSXuVt-wq0W6HH6lw5COwLLx0OY-9VX-wQoou2q8Z6JP38V5LRs/s1600-h/DSC_0336.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389287077505096482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-fT-U6qsRyVeckLzWdbpx-JM70-9-ajmBCYbkGS9ObQ4KkXLVzpCJ0V0XHVSmFAIHKjG-7tBB9go3KIqJd-L7xGpk0eSXuVt-wq0W6HH6lw5COwLLx0OY-9VX-wQoou2q8Z6JP38V5LRs/s320/DSC_0336.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Aside from the lack of lifesaving paraphernalia, Poopie and I also had to consider flying an hour at 434 knots (308 nautical miles) in order to reach Manila before we can assist in the rescue/relief operations.<br /><br />Accepting our limitations, we finally struck a deal with manang. Instead of buying for us “pasalubong” (gifts) from her business trip, we decided that a simple double dose of TLC in exchange for some grocery money for the victims of Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma) is more than enough for Poopie and myself.<br /><br />We know that it is not enough to feed and clothe the 64,975 families who were either left homeless or stranded in their homes, but we do hope that it would somehow help tide them over in the coming days. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;">In my personal opinion, during times of tragedies, there are no lines of divisiveness, a helping hand and helping paw both relay the same message and that is what I would call Love. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389293885643545058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 128px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 170px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9gAjVcWqbrDB0g7ZQ3eRc-9j1UM84DAbOgfd-SD1wD3Jb7PsDBAUFhtSDVIvJ7mysK3Np3vKgwnhzrZFbzWhHoSjsiezpEEjHRBXnvse0jOMKwftp3foxt7OdNrONyMN4J640b60VMoqQ/s400/u10014931.jpg" border="0" /><br />On a brighter note, allow us to share with all of you some good news.<br /><br />First, our bloggie is a finalist in the <a href="http://www.philippineblogawards.com.ph/2009/09/23/finalists-for-the-2009-philippine-blog-awards-nationwide-categories/">Philippine Blog Awards</a> under the Best Recreation/ Hobby Blog Category!!

For now though, we’ll just keep it under the code: White, Blue and Avocado! :)<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389287110374981122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNbfbDeD_9nuv1Ea35Khj7QAXGtwKd-iZfel0ja82IPiDrOvh7A8kiQwENP31TsJr0m91WQAdWzVZxAlpoyz5c1fuZeSTCvkAKQPrRpN1sdicJmpj7PPqrWGp5Ix_pxBjPe4K-na0GMwAB/s320/DSC_0345.JPG" border="0" /></span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Chirping with happiness,<br /><br />Aki and Poopie</span></p><p></p>Aki and Poopiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841540804015310163noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529414938105527561.post-58071538899926817392009-09-28T00:39:00.008+09:302009-09-28T01:52:16.577+09:30Typhoon Ketsana hits Manila<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Today, typhoon Ketsana had already left the country, but not without leaving our countrymen an experience, and perhaps, a painful lesson, we will never forget.<br /><br />As sourced from www.abs-cbnnews.com, tropical storm Ondoy (typhoon Ketsana) hit a great part of Luzon, leaving 27 provinces and the National Capital Region in the state of calamity.<br /><br />As of today, death tolls have now reached 73, with more than 300,000 people affected by the onslaught of strong winds, huge rainfalls and flash floods within the metro.<br /><br />According to PAG-ASA, about 34.1 cm of rain fell on Metro Manila in just six hours, close to the 39.2 cm. average for the entire month of September. The previous record was 33.4 cm. recorded during a 24-hour period in June 1967.<br /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtY0eWJwNDSv2rpQ8diUkL9LJl4T10d_KYtwMvmFBitKXbgyM-iXC90RLERh0mKTuK-R0QdhFkchgi4yxPFxM8m6DSB6y4ENlQzJkF7kfKB6S_OOeSW98HT3lBLEdmBq-XhczKZlvUqdkJ/s1600-h/DSC_0092_Ondoy.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386169620731663762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtY0eWJwNDSv2rpQ8diUkL9LJl4T10d_KYtwMvmFBitKXbgyM-iXC90RLERh0mKTuK-R0QdhFkchgi4yxPFxM8m6DSB6y4ENlQzJkF7kfKB6S_OOeSW98HT3lBLEdmBq-XhczKZlvUqdkJ/s400/DSC_0092_Ondoy.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">We heard that Pasig, where our Mommy Lilli and the Animal Doctor, together with our buddies, MoyMoy, Scarlet, Jappy and Trudis live, is also affected by the flood. We did try to call Mommy Lilli this morning, but all phone lines were dead. We are just glad, though, that auntie Jenny informed us that Mommy Lilli and co. are doing well. Thank goodness!!<br /><br />However, in some areas, other people are not so fortunate. Some even had to go to the rooftops of their houses because the water level had already risen so high that they needed to be rescued by pump boats.<br /><br />We even read that San Miguel Corp. is willing to buy 50 pump boats to help hasten the rescues. If only, I could give them Capt. Jack Sparrow’s boat, it would have helped save more people. Alas, I could only hope and pray for better days... or maybe exchange my kibbles for some pesos for donation.<br /><br /></span></div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwcu72KcNhf7SY023h2pvjiFBRal4GpmbqXdhx-53DbpntMM3Yh5ZU-1gAiWcFGYxle5rkKsTi-xatK2fNCwmBm6NG1dEtyEjMRLQoKqep4ctgZ9rsMy8wkOYXkm3Wii0Ty9emn7QZsEdo/s1600-h/rescue+dog.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386166933475545058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 265px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwcu72KcNhf7SY023h2pvjiFBRal4GpmbqXdhx-53DbpntMM3Yh5ZU-1gAiWcFGYxle5rkKsTi-xatK2fNCwmBm6NG1dEtyEjMRLQoKqep4ctgZ9rsMy8wkOYXkm3Wii0Ty9emn7QZsEdo/s400/rescue+dog.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">We are sad to note that a lot of people and animals are still out there, waiting for rescuers to get to them. In some video clips that we saw, we had seen numerous dogs being rescued together with their hoomans. Some, however, were not so fortunate- it breaks our hearts.<br /><br />Today is a day of major concern. We are one with those who had lost family members and those who had lost their properties and sources of living. We can all continue to hope that the sun continues to shine in the coming days (esp. that manang is supposed to go to Manila tomorrow night).<br /><br />To the rescuers, volunteers, businessmen and media personalities who had given their time, money and service to help our fellowmen and keep all of us continually informed, our hats go off to all of you! The selflessness of rescuers and continued outpouring of assistance and donations are so overwhelming it inspires us. It gives us hope, that indeed, we can work as one nation.<br /><br />In my young Labrador life, no day makes me more proud to be a Filipino.<br /><br />Godspeed everyone and may this new day, though difficult, be a new start for all of us.<br /><br />Be safe everyone and keep dry!<br /><br />Drooly kisses,<br /><br />Aki<br /></span></div>Aki and Poopiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841540804015310163noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529414938105527561.post-32935739925993719032009-09-17T19:14:00.004+09:302009-09-17T19:33:54.928+09:30Thank you and Batista Update<div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">To those who left sweet messages on our earlier post Thank You So So Much!!!! Your words of encouragement and prayers means a lot to us.<br /><br />We have already started with Bat-Bat's medication and tomorrow, I will be sending over his meds for Ehrilichia treatment so they can start giving it when needed. For the meantime, we will be working on his liver since his SGPT level was at 300+! :( After a week's treatment, we can decide whether to start with Doxycycline or to continue further with liver treatment.<br /><br />For now, we are are taking things in stride. My conversation with Doc Geoff (Aki's Mommy Lilli's husband) was enlightening. Although, I must admit that it broke my heart when he said that my dear boy 'might' not recover. Nevertheless, we will not give up without a fight. And for as long as my brothers tell me that he is active, happy and appears to be well, we will do everything that we can to help him recover.<br /><br />Despite the clouds of doubt on what lies ahead of us, I am still happy and thankful- for every day that the Lord gives my little brown barky brother.<br /><br />To all our DWB friends, to those who left inspiring words and encouraging messages, again, Thank you so much. It sure makes us feel a whole lot better. I know our little boy would be very happy to know that a lot of doggies and hoomans are praying for him.<br /><br />We love you all so much!!<br /><br />Manang<br /> </div>Aki and Poopiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841540804015310163noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529414938105527561.post-86361448546567470042009-09-14T15:24:00.003+09:302009-09-14T15:53:05.442+09:30Power of the Paw Needed<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">It has been a rough two weeks.<br /><br />The hoomans are still somehow in denial over the loss of George, who went missing on August 30, while they were in Hongkong. Somehow, we still hope that one day George will turn up. Every time a bird chirps, they would always look up, hoping that it would be our fat, avocado-colored brother. But it never had been. And we don’t know if it will ever be.<br /><br />Poopie and I wanted to make this post the moment the hoomans came back last September 4. But we never could. Doing so would make things final. We still hoped that he would turn up. Although the reality is, George didn’t stand much of a chance since his wings were clipped. He was a hopping parrot, not a flying one. And with Gring Gring and a gazillion other cats in the neighborhood, I shudder to think at the 2 hours that my other hoomans failed to realize that he was already missing.<br /> </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381201812489494834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 359px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMc8V0cSvS32ym01Okieh9q-3eZ2P_wzPw3BIkYRwKlRekDlMJ4fVel2NBlZSZDjBQ_p4bKSpou8qDa7uzIvRNqmRfVOplawb9jEx-hi9g4X7tC7zayoIOjy47WBijgXKzIqK1dIlnhXes/s400/mr.+george+kebab+mengnhani.JPG" border="0" /></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Every night I would dream bad dreams. Really really bad dreams about George. Maybe that is why when manang first learned that George was gone, she asked Poopie to comfort her. Who wouldn’t need comforting? Knowing that your brother, even if for two months, had gone missing and you don’t even know if he is alive, well or already at the Rainbow Bridge.<br /><br />Last Sunday manang saw a black butterfly continually swooping down on a certain spot near my day time kennel and she was almost already convinced that it was George, it was still difficult to accept that he was gone. But each time a bird chirps and we can hear the fluttering of wings, a spark of hope flickers within us.<br /><br />I never knew until then that there were so many birds around us. Beautiful birds. Lively birds. Living birds.<br /><br />But that was not the end of it. We had delayed this post intentionally because we didn’t really know how to start, or where to start. Learning what happened and how it happened was not easy. But we choose not to think about it. But now we had to, because apart from George, another brother needs your help. And it breaks our heart into tinier pieces everyday. <br /><br />My brother Batista is sick. <br /><br />Batista was with Poopie when manang bought her Pet Taxi as they prepared to travel from Bacolod to here. He was this little tan mini pinscher boy with a big bark but an even bigger heart. <br /> </span></div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqxgriDthKwZnKAH9MnCtt9QVj2xsh7YVPlEzyCcJJNC6sz9S_EKtFPx4yYnODJktIoiLzHqaZ6cb_WxwtGzNKfvg-sWJZXugmmlm8tu2ZtC5-O_8a7ZPcmnKcgDlzNWzBlVWSG34s3Ty/s1600-h/IMG_1703.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381201827452201826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggqxgriDthKwZnKAH9MnCtt9QVj2xsh7YVPlEzyCcJJNC6sz9S_EKtFPx4yYnODJktIoiLzHqaZ6cb_WxwtGzNKfvg-sWJZXugmmlm8tu2ZtC5-O_8a7ZPcmnKcgDlzNWzBlVWSG34s3Ty/s400/IMG_1703.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Last Thursday manang’s brother brought him to the vet for a check-up because Bat-Bat was not behaving like his normal self. His blood test results were very low. :(( He failed in all categories except for his WBC.<br /><br />The vet said he had blood parasites or ehrlichia. Poopie and I searched it over the internet and it didn’t sound too good. Mommy Lilli said that if both RBC and platelets were low, he might already be in stage 3 if he does not respond to his medicines.<br /><br />By some divine intervention manang will be going to Manila today for work. She would then be able to buy his medicines there since they were out of stock where Batista is.<br /><br />Please everypup, please please pray for our dear brother Batista. He needs your help. Poopie still needs him. She will be going home again on December and she wants to see him and Kim Tzi there.<br /><br />My sister loves him so much, and even if I had not spend any time with him, I also love him. He makes my sister happy and knowing that alone makes me happy as well.<br /><br />Please Dear Lord, make my brother Batista well again.<br /> </span></div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzYQ-50YPmuLmWoys_uIw-6BOoQ8dP6aERElKXjNe_zPttktc9EBfhFc41J-L1UVqSGD-SgP5THtGRuBYesz4OxzbKvXt7E9A5XHW5RJsd6iLrztyluUpBP9f92dMo4BADUo-WcasgsqyV/s1600-h/IMG_1687.JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381201818810069698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzYQ-50YPmuLmWoys_uIw-6BOoQ8dP6aERElKXjNe_zPttktc9EBfhFc41J-L1UVqSGD-SgP5THtGRuBYesz4OxzbKvXt7E9A5XHW5RJsd6iLrztyluUpBP9f92dMo4BADUo-WcasgsqyV/s400/IMG_1687.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />In all fours and paws,<br /><br />Aki and Poopie<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /></span><div></div><br /></div>Aki and Poopiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841540804015310163noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529414938105527561.post-41217888434454763092009-08-27T10:12:00.005+09:302009-08-27T19:51:03.798+09:30Silence of the Lab<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">The coming weeks might be a little too quiet again.

<br /></div></span><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Dear friends,
<br />
<br />Today, allow us to shamelessy solicit for your help/ support.
<br />
<br />A few weeks ago, our emails have been flooded with news about various congressmen and a senator pushing for the enactment of two house bills: House Bill 5291 </span><a href="http://www.senate.gov.ph/lis/bill_res.aspx?congress=14&q=HBN-5291"><span style="font-family:arial;">http://www.senate.gov.ph/lis/bill_res.aspx?congress=14&q=HBN-5291</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> and 5648 which aims to legalize the creation and operation of a greyhound racing facility in Mandaue City and Rizal/Pampanga/Laguna, respectively. What alarms us most is the fact that such an inhumane proposition is getting much support from the local government as posted in these articles (please take time to read). </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:arial;">
<br /></span></div><p><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369653661444585986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 297px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieTGstCNlXY4hbi_YhYWo5N-V5BY_3jC-hrieIIumo7SwRW3-yDcG4mrACCbCTvmWZvH5prCV3yZ-Sc9GX6-O8BRj9NsPhkgZ0kn2NyF-p7d3h-7CK8tnayLKZ7ReqW8aN1QfEfAvhV3EJ/s400/greyhound+abuse.JPG" border="0" />

<br /></span><a href="http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/news/view/20090807-219134/Mandaue-City-Council-open-to-dog-racing"><span style="font-family:arial;">http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/news/view/20090807-219134/Mandaue-City-Council-open-to-dog-racing</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;">
<br />
<br />We never had nor met a greyhound personally but more than the breed, dogs or any animal at that, be they mongrels or pedigrees, have a right to life and should not be in any way treated as a commodity or instrument for meaningless entertainment. There is far too much hurt and pain in this world. What we need is more people to spread more love.
<br />
<br />We believe that there are more significant and productive activities worthy of the funds being planned to be poured in this bloody and meaningless so-called-sport. However, if such individuals- the proponents and its benefactors find delight in such pitiful activities then they should really consider finding for themselves a life.
<br />
<br />Please help us stop the enactment of these housebills. Greyhounds are living beings worthy of a chance to live in loving homes and families who understand their needs. They deserve more than a life muzzled up and behind kennels, if not running in the race tracks. If we were blessed to have been given the chance to live with loving pawrents who treat us as integral members of their family, why can’t they?

<br />
<br />We were informed that House Bill 5291 had already passed Congress and is already now in the Senate for a second reading and is in danger of becoming a law very soon.
<br />
<br />As of latest, only 11 senators have committed to vote NO against the passing of this bill: (Thank you very much!)
<br />1. Senator Chiz Escudero
<br />2. Senator Gringo Honasan
<br />3. Senator Pia Cayetano
<br />4. Senator Miguel Zubiri
<br />5. Senator Jamby Madrigal
<br />6. Senator Manny Villar
<br />7. Senator Rodolfo Biazon
<br />8. Senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr.
<br />9. Senator Mar Roxas
<br />10. Senator Alan Peter Cayetano
<br />11. Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III
<br />
<br />However, we still need to convince more than half of these senators:

<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We would like to encourage that emails to the remaining senators be made so as to let our voices be heard faster. Just this morning, we were told that it is around this time that the Senate will vote on the House Bill. Please help us amass support to show these senators that the world does not need another "burial site" for greyhounds.</span>

We all though he would win because the other dog was pulling, sitting and throwing tantrums the entire walk and Askalon had already reached the end of the ring whereas the otherdog was still at the start.

Years, is it? I can almost imagine some of Aki’s yellow fur turning white over eons and eons of DWB-less afternoons.<br /><br />Apparently, over the last few weeks, the hoomans turned momentarily deaf to all our requests for a bloggie update (and no, I strongly believe it was not due to our incessant barking and whining!) and insisted that they just had too much work to do. Pawsonally, I think that if work is dragging them down, then there’s no use in putting up with it.<br /><br />Work should be fun and not stressful, it should be something worth wagging your tail about, just like what Aki and I had been slaving over for the past weeks -- We were working for our food!<br /><br />And just before any Homo sapien sneer and snort over our new found careers, let me walk you through what we have to endure to polish our crafts. Believe me, it is no different from practicing for the Olympics…<br /><br />For this week, we were working for Baby Back Ribs… </span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></p></span><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343702970620633346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_6OOKfkur5h9bNcS8-3WSFnrfjE_Y13wv7c-gsoIeNk1ecJMjPpTFMxHTgDMYuNQTINs_ySWKOoMaH_e3Dub4_UA7QonJUWSXE1lbROsb8LXZFYl-lPfQuhMkMRumGSZbBKExQs548fo/s320/DSC_0229.JPG" border="0" /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">The concept was easy- the puppy who gives the best performance earns for himself/herself a huge slab of juicy, meaty, saucy, yummy baby back ribs…<br /><br />First, I started with a little leg stretching to make sure I don’t overstretch those leg muscles during my big performance.<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342969191023347170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 232px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 402px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3IV0v-minsduuI2eO-qhqxVCqeJ_Vm3De_TgGS-HeVK44_QCJ_A3SS-Z5-8rtojse8ogXAAlBNirp2elGucWs6X7Rrz7WelM4VyO23v6N9SH_cleC4oWFkx6X_3MiH5m5tq7C-nLDVmQ/s400/1.jpg" border="0" /><br />Next was a little fore paw stretching.

Aki on the other hand was working on a hush-hush strategy, which I later on learned as the “begging face”.<br /><br />I was up first. My heartbeat pounded so fast I can barely hear the yellow thing heckling me. See his face here?

Poopie and I wish that we can now say that we will resume blogging but unfortunately, we can't. Not yet, anyway. *insert very sad faces*<br /><br />Manang is still sick today but despite that, continues to remain busy with work. She will be leaving for Bohol again tomorrow and we won't see her until the end of the week. We hope by then she gets better 'cos this lack of blogging action is boring us already.<br /><br />To our friends, we miss all of you so much!! Thank you for the awards and sorry for the lack of active participations in the contests and all other events and very late unposted posts (that we promised to do eons ago).. We try as much as we can to drop by, leave comments and check in on all of you from time to time, but our Secretary's present condition, could only allow us to do so much. We love you all and we hope you will all have a wonderful week ahead... For now, allow us to share with you our picture with this fastfood icon whom (and whose products!) we all love ...</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337090987962022322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbLvnh3yZmVnpCbn-IFqrzsmzmz41IFZB3Shb6Ez9cZjPGzsULQXzpdbIZZas91jGInj5hk-O90t7RRRRJQFn-3K6tVIUMShN1a91nzWWHdlfCaWItBkooLw-f0ahd_PD5Ggkk-woTaEE/s400/Picture+131.jpg" border="0" /></div><div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337091000698344722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVIqNqOpz1TBhBYSFZBLz9o4VEtsoBN29hFOnbne2OFWBMIXyPdo7k2xVXi1W8flZX2RzTXs4xtd9dEzf9TZj4g7qJi9lMd06r9r1oKXgrkYqfSxPKeo1jQfZd0bh-o922lGrLi_nZurE/s400/Picture+133.jpg" border="0" /><br />Take care everypup !<br /><br />drooly kisses,<br /><br />Aki and Poopie </div></div>Aki and Poopiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841540804015310163noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529414938105527561.post-28413970371380322982009-05-12T19:53:00.003+09:302009-05-12T21:35:56.125+09:30Where's The Poopster?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6F8oPGUGDUV5_4iVS1uwfWmVndrhHy6Neplm4q6-jlDpU-wrB6ALbsQOJAbmuMUeWMkAN3WzFlOWFDC-MjlmAlKTxWmFNktpSh2zkjUOh6n1tKljBzISl0saoBHDAgAyg1R13PFSn1os/s1600-h/wheres+the+poopster.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331835428421655538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6F8oPGUGDUV5_4iVS1uwfWmVndrhHy6Neplm4q6-jlDpU-wrB6ALbsQOJAbmuMUeWMkAN3WzFlOWFDC-MjlmAlKTxWmFNktpSh2zkjUOh6n1tKljBzISl0saoBHDAgAyg1R13PFSn1os/s400/wheres+the+poopster.jpg" border="0" /></a>Aki and Poopiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15841540804015310163noreply@blogger.com21
