Confidence and Leadership

I vented my frustrations on my sister.

Paphu was difficult to house train.

"You know, Paphu is learning a lot from you, and you are learning a lot from Paphu. Confidence and leadership. Aren't those what you wanted?" Were my sister's words.

Yes. Those were.

Patience. To be the alpha means to be the leader of the pack. To  respected means I must respect them first.

"Paphu is a dog. An animal, not human. They communicate differently from us. You gotta learn to step down to their level to understand them".

I gotta extend my own patience. This is a parcel of responsible pet ownership.

New Family Member!

He is a blessing in disguise....

....our newly adopted 5 year old Shih Tzu, Pahpu!

I was honestly surprised when my mom told me she had a new adopted dog.

I was... "Oh no, another mouth to feed!", but when I saw him for the first time, my heart melted.

How was he going to mingle with our 2 outdoor dogs and 1 indoor cat?

But he is SO SWEET! The most adorable thing ever! More adorable than our Philippine Native Cat!

Pahpu reminds me of Macky and Krystle's 2 Shih Tzu, Pim and Bam

(Pictures of Pim!)

Sadly, Pahpu is has been given a haircut, so he doesn't look that fluffy. 

But hey, his eyes are enough to melt my heart!
