Owning and Caring for Dogs

It takes a lot of responsibility to own dogs.   You can’t just put them in cages or tie them to a post.  Responsible dog owninership means caring beyond mere giving of food and water .  Dogs  are also in need of loving.

I bought Miss Shihtzu Stella matching pink ribbons and shoes from Petco in the USA. She hated both.

Dogs need to get out of the house too.

I bring her to the office once in a while.

Tyler’s right eye is badly infected. Oyen is his nurse. Every night she applies antibiotic ointment and drops on his eye.

Tyler is my son’s dog and he used to sleep in Nyke’s room. Yen takes care of him and lets Tyler stay in her room at night.

I saw this huge dog once when he and his yayo went walking around our street.
He’s name is Jumbo, it’s obvious why the owner named him that. He was imported from Alaska and was picked up by the driver from NAIA 1. This giant Alaskan Malamute is not even one year old. He’s still a baby. He is fed three times a day with a kilo of beef each meal, or one kilo of lamb meat adobo. He also consumed one big bottle of shampoo a week. Add the quarterly vet visits, vitamins, etc. The owner must be spending 1,000 a day minimum for his meals alone. I think the owner spends at least 50,000 pesos a month for this dog’s maintenance excluding the salary and food of the male dog yaya.

He is so maamo. When he saw me he neither barked nor showed any kind of reaction. Parang naka-valium, sobrang tahimik and calm.
