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.

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!

The leafless twigs reminded us of the wedding scene in the teleserye Walang Hanggan

“People say that winning a championship is sweet which indeed is true
but for us, there’s nothing sweeter than being together.” – A+L

World War Z

A Brad Pitt starer movie, World War Z is about a U.N. employee racing against time and fate as he tries to stop the outbreak of a deadly zombie pandemic. Directed by Marc Foster and written by Matthew Michael Carnahan, it is a film based on the novel by Max Brooks which goes by the same title.

Based on what we saw from the trailer, we realized that running zombies are way scarier than the walkers that we know of, and we were baffled at the sight of them doing their version of a pyramid. Maybe these two things can be considered as brilliant ideas for a much more exciting and thrilling zombie movie. It is set to be shown in cinemas on June 21, 2013.
