my baby gabby and our photo shoot (happy dog and happy human)

It wasn't love at first sight..but now I still can't get over how cute he is!!

So who's this new guy?..my dog, silly! = )

Gabby at 4 months - partida, di pa yan naligo for almost 1week na!

I never thought the day would come that I would be wrapped up in this pup's little paws..so adorable, lovable..he's just super!!! He loves me and I love him sooo much in return..but maybe he loves me a little bit more (hehe) he's just so frantic whenever I approach the door (any door!), probably scared that I will be gone for long (you know, this human has a life to live too!) Guess I just have to teach him puppy manners...

He's smiling coz I'm already home and hugging him tight (at our newly-renovated kitchen)

So much pent-up energy in this little furball! We love to lounge around, walk outside our house in the company of his 'friends', take pictures, buy toys, play with his toys, play with his tennis ball, eat, chase bigger dogs and our ultimate date is his monthly visit to his doctor (okay, his vet!)

A very brave boy, he keeps on following me even upstairs..considering he doesn't know yet how to go down the same flight of stairs he braved to climb! When we're on the sofa, he'd willingly leap even if I leave for just a few seconds..and he's always by my side following me like an angel = )

Best pick-me-upper when tired and stressed...best to share joys with too!

Oh, I just love him to bits! = ) Watch out for our upcoming imovie! hahahaha = )

Older than their years

Didn't we just celebrate Beyonce's 2nd birthday last week? Well it turns out that we should've had celebrated her 24th birthday - in dog years that is.

Been reading around dog or shih tzu forums to learn more about my pups and turns out we've been mistaken. Anyway, so our dogs may be a lot older than we thought (hehe) but we still love them the same!

Here's the Dog Years Chart for your reference:

A Lucky Dog and A Really Bad Joker!

Beyonce our shih-tzu was turning 2 years old and well because I was pretty amused with Apple Mail's stationery, I sent out invites for her party to friends and relatives here and abroad. And since it was also my cousin's birthday, we decided that it will be a double celebration and a mini-family reunion all in all. Just so you know I even missed my stat class for this!!

The Apple Mail Stationery invite that started it all!

Ate Diana (the "other" birthday girl!) with Derich, her son = )

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

Yep, that was exactly how I felt when after I sent out an invitation for our dog's birthday, some people took it seriously and well, we had to go a-planning!

We had kare-kare (with bagoong of course), spaghetti, bbq, cake, donut, chicken, asado, chocolate fondue (belgian chocolate yummy and the fruits) while the dogs had their share of doggie treats: Pedigree and Cesar (Beyonce's fave)

Ang aming Handa - also with Ate Diana's creations


Doggie Treats for Beyonce and her dog guests

Everyone had fun eating, singing, beer drinking and in the end, it was really worth it! Even the staff at Goldilocks got a kick knowing they were preparing a birthday cake for a dog!

My mom and I with the birthday girl (dog) and her huge cake!

Just remind me not to joke again like this when Gabby's birthday comes around! Hehe.. = )

Mommy carrying Beyonce, I'm with Gabby our 3-month little rascal!
