Once Upon A Time

I was this small (and Mr. Moo was this clean)-

Human pops gave me this blue rubber bone (and I didn't want to share it with anyone else)-

Being towel-dried and then blow-dried after a bath made me very sleepy..

..and stretchy!

 

I loved making new friends (I still do!)-

The best spot to play is on top of the exerciser (but now I don't fit).

And my favorite activity of all time is being cuddled and tickled by mum.

Bugsy is glad it's the weekend

Bugsy wishes everyone a stupendous weekend! Only, from him it comes out as "RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF RUFF!"

Beware of Dog

I've been practicing my growl lately and I really think I've been making a lot of progress with it. My voice is getting bigger and scarier! The garden rats now run for their lives when they hear me bark and growl. But it might be more because I saw them stealing my food so I caught one of them ate it. It didn't taste good at all but at least all the rest of them are now scared at the sight of me.

The next thing I'm working on is driving away those fat cats that like hanging around MY house. Although they're bigger than me, they don't scare me at all (if mum tells you otherwise, do not believe her). They were prowling near the area and meowing like mad last Saturday while mum was cooking. I didn't want them causing any trouble for her so I appointed myself to be her bodyguard and settled myself by her feet, in case the cats decide to come near and attack her.

Me being a fine guard dog

I did a good job of it too. Mum kept calling me her "cute little helper" but it really was me being an excellent guard dog. Yup, I kept all the pesky cats at bay! Not one of them dared to come near us because I am tough and ferocious! I know how to growl really loudly now, I even scare myself sometimes. I'm gonna have to talk to mum about getting one of these-

This sign would be perfect to hang on our gate!

My mum thinks I'm silly, but really, I just wanted to play

I was playing with my humans last Saturday when they brought out a lot of those biscuits they give me when they want me to do something. Now that they think I'm good enough at fetch, they want more tricks. This time, they used the word "stay" a lot, and I know I should keep still and stay where they leave me. That was too easy! I did it the first time, watch me-



That's my human mum talking in the video. See how I'm so awesome and did it the first time? The second time, I didn't do it NOT because I didn't know how to do it. Um, I just didn't.. like the biscuits so much. Yea, that's it! I'd rather run around and play instead of getting treats. I don't like treats at all! Yea, that's right.

Bugsy's First Christmas (A Tale by His Human)

Tradition dictates that we spend Christmas day in my grandparents house all the way over in Quezon City (we live in Paranaque) with all the rest of the clan. It's usually a whole day thing starting with lunch going all the way through midnight (opening presents is somewhere in between!).

With Bugsy being less than half a year old, it was unadvisable to leave him home alone for the entire day (and I didn't want him to celebrate Christmas by his lonesome) so he tagged along and he absolutely loved it!

On the way to his first ever Christmas party

On the hour-long ride to Quezon City, he relaxed sleepily in the backseat. But as soon as we got to my lola's house, he wriggled out of his leash and zigzagged his way around people's legs, greeting everyone with happy licks (if they'd let him) and some serious tail wagging (and some accidental excited peeing as well).

Most were happy to shower him with attention (specially the kids) and the little puppy basked in the glory of being adored by humans and played with everybody (and everything) until way past his bedtime. From Bugsy and his humans, Merry Christmas y'all! We all hope you had a great one!

Love,
Bugsy's Mum

Puppies in the Park

Last Saturday, we took Bugsy and Bailey, a beautiful lemon beagle, out to Ayala Triangle Gardens for a walk. Bugsy, the little boy pup couldn't contain his excitement at being out and about. His tail wouldn't stop wagging and he kept begging for attention. Bailey on the other hand, was used to taking walks and was better behaved, if not a little haughty, showing the exciteable puppy how it's done.

Summady developed a crush on summady and kept following her around

Lovely Lashes

Shih tzu eyelashes are gorgeous, they're usually long, curled upward, and really adorable. Bugsy's is no different, his lashes are something I'm *almost* jealous of, theyre really long and unfortunately for him, very girly.

This picture of Bugsy and his pretty lashes is a lucky shot. It's not easy to take a picture of his face up close, as the always-curious-pup tries to jump and kiss the camera when he sees it near his face.
