Meeting Aeona

When I was a wee puppy, manang takes me to her office to play. One Sunday, they organized a pay-per-view boxing show featuring our national Boxer Manny "the Pacman" Pacquiao. She also talked with one of her officemates, Ms. Lorna, who happened to have a black labrador puppy named Aeona and both agreed to have a Sunday Doggie Date.

What is taking them so long?

I guess I'll just indulge in a little game of tag with the hoomans

Wooffy!! Aeona is here!!
Wow, she is so huge.

Too bad she doesn't understand what "Keep Off The Grass" meant..

Manong and I had a serious man to puppy boy talk

We promised to be bigger than Aeona in our next meeting.

The Labrador in the Mirror

HELP!!

The Evil Apartment was invaded by the dog suckers!

Perhaps, that nasty ewman placed a spell on this shiny thing.

now, I can see a cute helpless puppy trapped inside.

Somebody bewitched the mirror!

Don't worry little buddy.

I'll try to get you out..

*ruf! ruf!*

If only, you can stop teasing me, then I might be able to help you.

Manang, Manong, HELP!!!

.......

Oh....

I guess, I'll shut up now...

Manang's Note:

Apologies. This was taken with a phone camera. This was Aki's last day in the Evil Apartment. This night, he said goodbye to the baddie neighbor, the baddie housemate and all the baddies who made his life as a puppy an unpleasant one (for less than a month, at least). Today, we live in The Ilonggo House, where he is allowed to run about, romp around, bark and bellow, roll in the grass with sister Poopie and Gring Gring the orange cat and just be a DOG- no buts, ifs and when.

My Beach Bumbum

Littlest Memories week brought about a sense on nostalgia in manang. She had been meaning to post my early pictures and videos. And since I only started blogging last month, I was not able to post all of my puppy mementos.

When I was a puppy my hoomans would often bring me with them. We would go to the beach (which was rather far, especially that we had no car here) together with the rest of the Ilonggo House residents.

One day, after a bad incident with the hair dresser, manang was told that manang Tin and R’ asked their officemate, Ms. Clavel, if they can bring me along to the beach.

We only tagged along with them :D

My hoomans knew how much I loved the beach and really enjoyed watching me frolic in the water.

Woofy!! Oh, did I kick some water in your face lady? Sorry...

We were supposed to go somewhere in Lapu Lapu City- where most of the beaches in Cebu are concentrated. It was a private, virgin resort with no overnight accommodations, just 2 barren huts and a makeshift bleacher made out of old wood.

Our very own Eden on Earth

It was a wonderful experience though. We enjoyed the beach and its tranquility. It was like having a piece of ocean all to ourselves.

Too much peace, makes manong and me want to snooze..

Manang brought with them my squeak ball. They learned that I loved playing fetch with it. And that it floats in the water so playing fetch was doubly fun.

7 optical zooms away...

afrer 14 optical zooms...

while somewhere stuck in the beach, looking on in sheer envy...

Here are some of my videos from my 2nd beach outing. (We had blogger problems again so we’re posting this ahead L ).

This time, manang promised there would be no rollercoaster video… wooffyy! Hope you all enjoy watching me swim as much as I did, swimming.

swimming is my genes. it is my 2nd favorite hobby next to eating my doggie treats

manang, come into the water. What? you DON'T KNOW how to swim? i'm appalled. What are you, woman, a cat?

My First Video (a.k.a. Another Foul up of the Lousy Video Director)

We are still celebrating Littlest Memories week. If you guys haven't visited Little Chef and Little Abby's tribute yet, please do so. We are learning a lot of things from our DWB friends. Poopie and I had also contributed our puppy stories, so if you pups and kitties want to know more about our past it’s all there.

This was taken together with our previous post. Mr. Randy Labrador a.k.a The Breeder was holding me for manang and manong to see. Manang was shocked at how heavy I was when she carried me.

Look closely at my tail.. Can you see it's distinct brownish color? That's because of my puppy incident with Mommy's huge paws. I'm, pleased to announce that it's all healed now thanks to Mr. Labrador’s magic spritzer.

We’ll post more videos once manang regains all the “uploading” patience that she lost in the last few days… hehe… For now, we hope you enjoy this rollercoaster video

Littlest Memories (a.k.a Manang the Lousy Video Director

Finally, the blogger fairy looked kindly upon us and allowed us to upload this (amateur) video...

My manang has got to be the worst video director. If she were employed under me during the time she took this video she would have been out of the streets looking for a job. I am so sorry for the very bad videography skills and the wrong alignments. (This was obviously taken using a digital camera thus the woof woman kept zoning out and twisting the camera.. she might have been under the impression that she was still taking photos and can just rotate the crooked videos afterwards, *sigh*) again, apologies for my manang, she is only a woof woman.

This video was taken during their second visit. By then the hoomans have decided to 'adopt' me. Manang brought me a towel with my name (poorly-stitched) on it. The breeder asked why they gave me the towel and manang had to explain that it was meant to make my transfer a lot easier. My mommy's and siblings' smell will stay with the towel and it would make me less sad when the day came for me to move with my manang (she was so sure of this, yet it didn't seem to work).

The cute fellow playing with the towel is me. Did you see my mom? Manang says I look exactly like my mommy. This was my last (known) video with her. I was six weeks old at that time. Those were the other dogs in Mr. Randy Labrador's house a.k.a the Breeder. Two weeks after, manong came to pick me up and brought me home.
