Pino madness
















At this point in time, goals are clearer and the vision is there. Just need to harness all will power for execution.


I can now say that I'm more mature in my life.

I am now taking care of a puppy.


Which takes intense patience,understanding and sacrifice. Waking up at 10am is now history. I wake up now at 7-8am at her howls and barks. Which are well and good because that means that it's time for her to ooj. But before she goes running to ooj land, she somehow asks for a scratch on the neck or the head first. Sometimes, she wants a semi hug. 

It's hard to be a surrogate parent for a puppy when you're not a dog. Sometimes I can't match up with her level of playfulness ( Wala pa naman akong kilalang amo na nagpapakagat sa aso niya)...... so we make do with using rags for tug of war and playing tag around the garden. Which aren't really enough for a puppy, especially when they're teething. She'd scratch her teeth against any surface that she can find. Splitting headaches aside, these mornings with my puppy has given me new appreciation for our garden. Her curiosity and interest in all things that crawl and don't are contagious. I also try to clean the garden now so that she won't be playing in too much dirt. I also get to interact now with our help's kids since they play about during these times. My puppy has changed my life somewhat. It's her duty to discover everything that the garden has to offer and she has taken me along for the ride.

Thanks to @NM, my puppy knows how to "sit" already. We're now working on getting her inside her own cage by herself. She's a very smart dog and she already has broken her own leash and collar..... so I can say that she's strong too. On both occasions though, she went inside her cage without my prompting. Also, She doesn't ooj inside her cage anymore. Planning to teach her how to catch frisbees but need to find out how to do that first.


My puppy's name is Pino (PIg-NOse for the pink pigmentation on her nose). Pino's a girl and he can be whatever he wants to be.

gabs! bili mo sya ng rubber toys, like rubber duckies. gusto nila yung may tunog, hehehe. this will give pino something safe to chew on, and at the same time, di masisira ang enamel ng ngipin nya. :) get her lots of toys, hanggang tumanda sya malalaro nya yan, hehe.

Vicky G said...

hindi nasisira AGAD. matagal mag-last ang toys, more than a year, pero kawawa na yang toy nila. like, footless gingerbread man, headless wizard -- ganun. haha.
