Look Who's Groomed Today!

Yesterday marked our little Zachy’s very first visit to a pet grooming salon which we already planned a long time ago. Agreeing to meet at exactly 10 in the morning infront of Pet Express at SM North EDSA, we were hoping that we would be the first ones in line for their grooming services. When we arrived, we were baffled at the sight of 10 dogs with their owners already lining up inside the store. Since we did not want to spoil Zach’s excitement for his first visit, we just agreed to wait patiently. Zach was 9th (full grooming service) and Zoey was 4th (‘ala carte’ service – shampoo and blow-dry). Zoey’s shampoo and blow-dry was something that we got free via a Belle de Jour coupon that we have. Though they finished at around 3:30 PM which was a 5-hour wait, we think that it was all worth it as we saw how meticulous and careful the groomer was in making our little boy look really gwapo and pogi. Zach was a bit shaky and uncomfortable after with his new look but we’re pretty sure he’ll get used to it. PROUD DADDIES! MBA

Talk About Toy Poodles

The toy poodle is one remarkably intelligent breed. Considered to be highly responsive and extremely active, they are one of the easiest to train. With their sweet, cheerful, and endearing qualities, these furbabies are expected to want the company of people. Delightful, amusing, and very keen are the other positive characteristics that they possess. Though poodles may look dainty and demure, the truth is that they have a stellar range of skills which includes agility, obedience, hunting, and herding. Almost an all around dog in every aspect!
 

The breed actually originated in Germany as a water retriever. Its name came from the German word pudel which means to splash in water. The stylish poodle clip which is the common haircut done with poodles was designed by hunters to help the dogs move through the water more efficiently while the patches of hair left were meant to protect vital organs and joints susceptible to cold.

The American Kennel Club varies the breed by its height and not by its weight. The maximum height of toy poodles is 10 inches at the highest point of the shoulders. Toy poodles have a small but graceful frame with a rounded skull, a medium-length head and muzzle, dark and wide oval shaped eyes, and close-hanging ears. Their coats are also unusual as the vary with some having curly and wiry while others have soft and wavy ones. They can also come in a solid color or a parti color as they call those with mixed colored fur. But don't be fooled by them, they are actually hypoallergenic!

Our little angels Zach and Zoey are apricot and black toy poodles respectively. They are both alert, responsive, and love to play. They are our stress relievers as they like to cuddle and kiss us every time we arrive home. Zach and Zoey are not puppies for us, they are little babies in curly coats.

Second Shoot

BIGLAANG TRIP - this is how we would describe our second photo shoot with our two furbabies last December 1st. Though it was impromptu and something really unexpected, we still got pictures that we extremely love! We are also proud parents as our little Zach and Zoey were as game as us when it comes to striking poses infront of the camera. Our weary feet and aching arms were all worth it as we got snap shots that we would treasure forever.

Check Zach and Zoey's Facebook page for more photos.

First Shoot

After numerous failed attempts to have a photo shoot with our furbabies, we finally had a chance to snap precious photos with them last Saturday, November 17. Though it was tiring and exhausting carrying Zach and Zoey around the campus because they’re already both over the 2-kilo mark, it was truly an experience that we would never forget. We were striking poses under the prickly afternoon heat but we didn’t care because we all had immense loads of laughs and fun!

Pedigree Puppy Love Event

WE ALL DEFINITELY HAD A BLAST! If we are to put the Pedigree Puppy Love event last October 21 at Eastwood City into words, this would be the line that would best encapsulate that. It was our first ever dog event as new paw-rents and we know that it also would not be our last due to the wonderful experience that we all had that day.

Though the weather in the morning tried to be a spoiler as gray clouds filled the sky, this did not suppress our desire of letting our babies experience the event. The rain already started to pour as we arrived at the venue, and since we thought that the event will be held at central plaza because of its ideal location, we went straight there. Our hearts sank as it seemed like we were the only dog lovers present, and at the sight of another event commencing, we almost decided to head back home. Luckily, we saw another pet owner headed towards central park which turned out to be the actual venue for the event.

Zach and Zoey's Pedigree Passports

11 o’clock marked the beginning of registration and immediately, we signed up by liking Pedigree Philippines’ page on Facebook. We were given a "passport" as a sign that we already registered. Stickers were placed on the card for every station we finished like the photo booth, free starter kit, and free vet consultation. Oh! We also got a free scarf which has a print saying “My owner's cute too!” by tweeting that we are there at the event.

One of Disney's tricks is to jump from one table to another

We also waited for the dog show which featured Disney, a poodle just like our babies, doing fascinating and breathtaking tricks which left the audience at awe. Though we badly wanted to stay for the free sessions on how to better paw-rents, we already had to go home because our babies were already tired. It was really a good first experience that we will never forget. Not only did Zach and Zoey had immense loads of fun but us as well!

One big happy poodle-ly
