Too much attention

I am paying for it now. We have been spoiling our dog especially the youngest female. I brought her everywhere when she was a puppy. Now she gets used to that, she thinks she has to go with me every time I go out the door. Now I paying for it, she will bark on top of her lungs trying to get my attention. Even when I just have to run outside just to get something she will bark and I am getting irritated! We are still spoiling them by just bringing them everyday to the store instead of just leaving them to the house. I am not sure when and how we are going to stop that barking habit. I am just hoping that it will get better when she gets older.

Thank God!

I am was so relieved this morning when we are getting ready for work when I saw my missing cat sitting down near the door! Oh boy she made me worry that I was going to call the animal services around our area to make sure that they didn't pick her up because she don't have a tag! She was filthy! Her paws are dark from dirt and who knows where she came from but I don't care ALL I care is she's back and she made our day!

Where is Molly???

I am kinda worried today because I haven't seen my cat "Molly". I think it's been 3 days she's been missing and usually 1 or 2 days she won't show up and one minute she'll be running to her food because she's hungry but today is a lil different. We've looked all over for her but never saw her. Summer is usually her fun days. She likes to stay outside all the time and winter is a different story, she hates it and don't want to go out side. All she wants is to cuddle all day and night. Hopefully she'll show up tomorrow....

My doggies

It's almost 2 weeks now that I have been walking my dogs (actually it's just Rocky) because he is just gaining weight. I already put him in a diet and he is still bigger than he's supposed to be. Before I started walking him on the empty lot next to our store, he was 20 pounds and now he's 18.5 pound but at his kind (Papillion) at the most should be 12 pounds. We are a little bit worried because he started to pant more than he used to. They pant a lot but we think Rocky pant too much because he is getting fat. Well, aside from my regular gym session, I have to walk 10 rounds on the field (at least it's not that big of a field).

We just now notice it!

We can't deny that our dog Bullwinkle is getting old. He is showing to much of character as an old one. He's eyes got kinda gray, he got white hair on his eye lashes and eye brows, he doesn't get too excited as much as when I first move here 3 years ago and now to our surprise, he is losing his teeth!!!! We just noticed it earlier that he lost his upper front tooth and the next toot beside is ready to come out. We didn't get bully as a puppy and he was only found but his old owner never claim when my hubby try to post his pictures so anybody can see him to let the owner know and will come and get him. The vet said when they got him, he is about 3 or 4 years old, so now he's about 9 to 11 years old (we don't now fr sure). He is a good doggie and I hate to think that he is getting old too fast :(

Almost a disaster

It was so busy today because we have to go out of town for the auctions. Usually a whole day thing but Ray got an appointment for his dentist so we have to cut it short. After the dentist we went home to pick up 2 of our dogs (Rocky and Bullwinkle) since we already have Ripsi with us. We rested for just a little bit at the house before going to the store, little that we know our privacy fence in the back opened and our Houdini dog "Bullwinkle" got out. We really got scared because one of the biggest road in Tampa is just blocks aways from the house. We looked all around the house and few houses away and we can't find him. So I decided to drive the car and look for him while Ray just looked around too just in case he is just near the house and just chasing those cats from our neighbors. When I almost made a left at the street before the main one, I saw the kid playing and I remember him playing when we came earlier so I figured he must saw Bully if he came this way. Good thing I asked because him and his mother and brother had Bullwinkle inside. Thank God he escape from a disaster if he went to the main street and Thank God there are still good Samaritan out there. Thank you..Thank you.Thank you so much it saves me a lot of tears if we lost our doggie!

Happy Birthday Bully

Yesterday was my doggie Bullwinkle's birthday. He's getting older, we don't really know exactly how old he is because Ray and his late girlfriend found him eight years ago and the veterinarian told them that he was about 3 or 4 years old. Despite their effort to return him to the owner before, they even put posters everywhere where they found him yet nobody claimed Bullwinkle. He is such a good dog. He rarely bark, so friendly but he is a certified Houdini. He broke my heart when we were in Kansas City Missouri and he just disappear right when we got to our room. We always bring everywhere and he always stay underneath the bed. We just assumed that he was there but for all we knew he's gone. I cried my heart out knowing that we have to go home without him but before we left we put posters everywhere and even went to the police( we are that desperate). Three weeks later (we already got another Bullwinkle ) someone called from Missouri telling us that she got our dog! Another time he got away from our house and we have to go out of town for the day and we can't bring him so got out again and crossed one of the major 6 lane street (Hillsborough Avenue) in Tampa and went to the school 3 blocks from the house. Luckily a Samaritan called my mom because we have Ray and her number on his collar. He is an escape Artist yet I love that dog so much.

It's been our tradition that if one of our pet's birthday, that pet gets a treat (a hamburger usually from a fast food). Last night it's Bullwinkle's treat night. This time we got him a chicken nuggets. We also put a birthday candle and sung happy birthday.




Here's Rocky with his hamburger for his 2nd Birthday.

Dog Park

It's been awhile since we brought our dogs to the dog park. Oh God I can't even remember when was the last time. Today I decided to bring Bullwinkle, Rocky and Ripsi to the dog park. They were so excited, they can't even wait to get out of the car. I surely had a full hand when 3 of them want to jump and play and bark with the other dogs that was over there too. Once they're in the park they were like they don't know me and don't even listen. All they care were the grass sniff around and of Rocky and Bullwinkle pee to mark their territory.

If a dog were our teacher, we would learn stuff like...

1. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
2. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride
3. Allow the experience of fresh air & wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
4. When it's in your best interest -- practice obedience.
5. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
6. Take naps and stretch before rising.
7. Run, romp, and play daily.
8. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
9. Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.
10. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
11. On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
12. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
13. No matter how often you're scolded... run right back and make friends.
14. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
15. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
16. Be loyal.
17. Never pretend to be something you're not.
18. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
19. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them...gently.

Pets here...Pets there.....

Having pets around are fun. They makes you laugh and sometimes makes you mad. We have a total of 12 animals right now. Each of those damn pets cost us money and have to feed them everyday. We got two Cats: Sheena and Molly, both female. They stayed at the house. Two Dogs: Rocky and Bullwinkle, both male. They are always with us everyday. Even on the trip, we always bring them with us. These dogs went to many states as much as we do especially Bullwinkle. They've been travelling with him even before i got here. A Marmoset Monkey Aj, he is a male. He got him when he is only 3 weeks old and now he is 2 years old. Having a monkey is not that easy we have to have a permit and monkeys are expensive). We have one Yellow Crowned Amazon Parrot, we named her Daisy. She is amazing, she'll sing and talk with you.
At the store we got four Cockatoo Bird: Chico, chica, Shelly and Chevy. They are really pretty. They don't talk they just squawk. Another pair of African Grey, they makes all kinds of sounds too.
Can you believe that? we have our own zoo here.
Having those pets is not costless, each bird cost us over two quarters of a thousand damn dollar. The monkey cost us more because it is still a baby. I don't wanna mention, it will sound conceited. Those pets eats a lot too. They eat more than i do.
You won't believe me if I say our dog Bullwinkle went to the strip club tonight and give a dollar tip to a stripper. It is true, she just wanna see Bullwinkle because she found him three weeks ago when we lost him. Another case for Bullwinkle is when he got lost in Kansas city, Missouri. Ray didn't any money on him because his late fiancee found him 4 years ago, but then when somebody called us from Kansas city and said they got Bullwinkle. We spent a round trip air fare from Tampa to Kansas city, Missouri. Sounds crazy isn't it? We love that dog so much. He the best dog you can ever have. We don't care about the expenses. All we want is him.
Nevertheless, i am glad that all of of our birds excluding Daisy is in one room at the store where we can't hear them squawking at all. We just just had a camera at that room to make sure they're fine.
Thanks God! I can't hear them now. I had it with these pets.
