The lives of two dog lovers and how their adorable dogs: Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels rule their world. We live in a hilly village in Cebu (where the view is awesome) and the dogs just love it there. We love to go to the beach with our pack and spend our days in doggy bliss
These photos were taken last April when we brought Azi to the beach for the very first time. She had a blast! We were supposed to bring our male husky along (Kenzo) but he was so misbehaved in the car because of the excitement to go to the beach after a very long time. Kenzo insisted on sitting in the front seat just as he did when he was a puppy. It was just my hubby and I in the car and 2 huskies might be way too much to handle. Sadly, we had to drop Kenzo back at home.
Good thing Azi was super behaved in the car as usual (total opposite of Kenzo!). We let her run off leash in the sand and grass and she had a blast exploring new things. The beach and wide open spaces made her very happy that weekend! She and Suki (my cocker spaniel) swam and slept, swam and slept over and over again. Photos taken at my Aunt's beach resort in Moalboal here in Cebu.
With summer swooping in early, your furry friends risk coming down with heat exhaustion. Check out these tips on keeping dogs cool when temperatures rise. By Gina Pestaño-Castro
The scorching heat of El Niño is now felt by everyone, even our fur babies! Unlike humans, dogs don’t sweat, so they have a lot of trouble keeping cool during the hot months. Their sweat glands are not found on their skin, but on their noses and the pads of their paws.
We know the basics, such as providing clean fresh water all the time and keeping them in the shade. But that isn’t always enough. Here are some tactics to keep your pets cool on warm, humid days:
Put ice cubes in their water bowls.
Have fun watching your dogs throw and catch them in the air and then dip their faces in the water to get some more. Just make sure to do this at least two hours after they have eaten their meal so as to prevent bloat. If your dogs have just been exposed to the sun or if they’ve just come from their exercise/playtime, wait a few minutes before giving them ice cubes.
Make homemade frozen treats!
Simply put chunks of cheese or your choice of apple, bananas, peanut butter, or even some liver into an ice tray. Pour some water and then freeze. Be creative! Any of your pet’s favorite foods will do. You can also buy some chunky canned dog food, dilute it with water, and then pour it on an ice tray to freeze. Oh how they love it!
Walk or exercise your dog only during the cool hours.
The ideal time to take your dog on its daily walks would be early morning, late afternoon, or in the evening. The latter may be better for black and dark-colored dogs, who absorb the sun’s rays and heat up faster than lighter-colored dogs. Make sure that asphalt roads are not too hot—these can burn their paws.
Tie a wet or chilled bandana around your dog’s neck.
Want to stand out as you take your dog for a stroll? Soak a bandanna in water or put it in the freezer for some extra chill before you tie it on your dog’s neck. Your pet will look ultra stylish, and the bandanna will help keep its body cool.
The FURminator reduces shedding up to 90 % by removing the loose, dead undercoat without damaging the top coat which means much less hair floating around the floor or stuck to your clothes and furniture!

October-pets na! The dogs of Cebu gathered for a day of merriment, drinking beer and having a festive day.
It’s great to be back to my Alma Mater, U.P. Cebu, this time with my hubby and my 2 dogs. I vividly remember the days when we would play soccer day in, day out. Come night time, we would either lie down on the grass or sit under the big acacia tree. My friends and I would talk about our dreams as we faced the wide open field. Shaping the future has so many possibilities.
Fast forward…..
Yesterday, in the same grounds of U.P. Cebu, the 3rd October-Pets happened. The Cebu Companion Animal Practitioners Association organized this event. (Thank you guys!) . There were kiosks by different clubs such as the Cebu Pitbull Club, Cebu South Kennels, Cebu Avian Society, Cebu Arachnida Club, Crocolandia Foundation. In the pet industry, these were some of those who joined: Broadchem Inc, Pedigree, Canipro, Woofchunx, Proplan, Bayer, Vitality, Royal Canin, Broadchem, SMC and many more.
Volunteers from different veterinary clinics also gave out free rabies vaccinations and health checks. The Canine Agility Group Exhibition gave a good show with their dog tricks. There was a pet blessing at 10am (which I missed!) and a fun match organized by Carlo Tan.
We came in very late (3pm up to closing time) because my hubby and I came from a meeting. I wanted to maintain the no-work-on-Sundays for me but we had no choice. Our pizza business was summoning our presence.
I totally forgot to take photos of my own dogs because I had so much fun interacting with the different dog owners. Come night time, that’s when I took a few shots of my two furry creatures. Suki was NOT supposed to come. From the balcony she saw Summer inside the car and she was barking like a mad dog. She ran with me outside and begged to be carried. She gave me that sad-puppy eye look and who could resist and say no. I didn’t even brush her hair and she looked awful… but what the heck, she had a tremendously great time!
There were games and giveaways! A bag of dog food and other prizes for dogs who could show off their tricks. Melissa (of Animal Kingdom Clinic) hosted the games and she called my name to come forward with Suki. As much as I wanted her to join, Suki was feeling distracted with all the dogs around her.
Here are some photos that I took. Since we came in late, I missed majority of the dogs. I was only able to capture a few shots since I was busy mingling as well.
Thank you Doc Ging, Doc Marie, Doc Mel and the rest of your team for organizing this event! :)
Here are my sun-kissed beach babe dogs! Kenzo and Suki, together with my cousin's golden retriever, Kenshee (the resident dog in the resort).
There are no women in bikinis, no 5-star resort service and no fancy schmancy lounge areas. It's just the sound of the waves, the clear aquamarine water and my furry dogs swimming like crazy.
I think my husky is half-fish. Kenzo is so comfortable swimming in the water and not afraid to go to the deep part of the beach. He would put his tongue out and lap the salt water (foolish dog). Every few minutes I would call him to give him fresh water to drink. I don't want him to get a heat stroke.
If any of you guys come to Cebu, let me know and I'll take you here in my Aunt's private beach resort in Moalboal. :) Dogs are very much welcome!
One boring afternoon last August, we took our 2 dogs for a nice walk at Kan-irag Nature Park. The weather was perfect for a short trip--IT was a cloudy and windy day. We enjoyed the twenty minute pleasant drive from our place in Busay Heights. My hubby and I live in the mountain area already so it wasn't that far. The view up there in Kan-irag was even more spectacular. The breeze was so chilly, which I know our husky truly enjoyed.
Here's Kenzo,my 8-month old Siberian Husky; Suki, the Am. Cocker Spaniel and Kenshee, the Golden Retriever having a blast swimming in the beach. The dogs were swimming and chasing each other the entire morning.
This was an overnight trip at my Aunt's beach resort in Moalboal Cebu, Philippines. When we woke up at 8am, we found Kenzo (the husky) gone! I tied him up but he got away (huskies are great escapist).
We found Kenzo lounging by the breakfast table. My father told me that he saw Kenzo swim in the beach as early as 6am! Went for a dip and then came back to the beach house by himself. This dog loves to swim in the beach. He just couldn't wait for us to wake up so he went to the shore on his own. :)

Here's a few dog tricks we taught our our Am Cocker Spaniel:
sit, shake, down, crawl, dance, close door, scratch door, leg balance, dance, stay, rollover, play dead (bang!), leave it, jump (loops), shake hands, high five, turn left, turn right, criss-cross legs, bow, kiss, leave it, cry on cue and stand up
She loves to eat vegetables and steamed cauliflower is one of them. :)

My dogs know the command "leave it" but I decided to have a little fun letting them face each other. This video captured the first time I did this kind of face off :) Oh was I laughing so hard!
Check out Suki, the Am. Cocker Spaniel fully concentrating on the dog treat...while Kenzo, the Husky did his best to control his food urges. He needs a little more practice on speed!
This video was taken after our afternoon walk. I let them rest for an hour before giving them a bath. While waiting and out of sheer boredom, I did this food face-off.
It's 4am right now and I'm still doing some overtime work. A few hours from now we're going to the BEACH! I don't want to leave without finishing my tasks. The better to fully enjoy our weekend get-away with nothing to think of.
I feel a little sad that I can only bring along 1 dog. 2 people are hitching in the car with my hubby and I, thus I can't bring 2 dogs to the beach. We were supposed to take Summer (Golden Retriever) along, but he has a stud session service to fulfill this weekend. I was undecided between Zoe (the other golden) or Kenzo (husky). Looks like only Suki will be joining us in the beach. She sits and sleeps quietly like a baby in my lap during the entire ride.
My dogs are sleeping right now and this is what they exactly look like:
Suki is so cute sleeping in her dog bed! This wonder dog loves to sleep while with a pillow for her head. We did not humanize her. She's much too observant for her own good that she is so attuned with the human ways.
This used to be one of the pillows in our bed...and now its hers. Crazy thing is, she did not pay much attention to her dog bed before when it was just a plain dog bed. Once I transferred this specific pillow there, she's been sleeping most of the time in her own dog bed if she ain't snuggling up with us.
Ok, time to go back to work now. No more dog blogging. Ahhh excited to go back to the beach!
Every time we buy a big bag of dog food, I tell our helper to repack them in the appropriate servings per day. These are then placed in a big container tightly covered.
Why go through all that hassle? I found out that repacking has many benefits:
1. It keeps the dog food fresh since they are individually sealed. Humidity, molds, ants and other insects won't be able to penetrate the bag. Thus, no bacteria and bad elements to make my dogs sick.
2. One big container is good for one day for all of my dogs. Thus, we don't underfeed or overfeed them. If we feel they are hungrier than usual (boosted appetite because of play and exercise), then we just open the other small resealable containers.
3. I know how many days a big sack of dog food lasts, thus I can budget my finances and plan ahead for the next purchase.
4. A sack of dog food now lasts longer than it used to (thus saving me a LOT of money). There are no estimates when my helper is lazy to scoop out the exact portions or when she losses count. Make no mistake, quality dog food does cost a lot! I will never scrimp on my dogs...but I also don't want to give them excess dog food too, making them obese and unhealthy. That's extra fat on their belly and an ouch on the pocket for me!
5. We keep the big container in the garage and just bring the individual servings in the kitchen where it is lovingly prepared when we sometimes mix boiled vegetables in it.
6. The only semi-hard part is portioning the dog food all at once (will take less than an hour). After that, its a breeze! We have 7 dogs, so scooping out and counting all the portions from the big bag every single day is tiring! Ever since we repacked, we just open the container good for that day and then divide into their individual bowls. Fresh and easy.
7. Trust me, if you do this method--- you will find that your sack of dog food will last longer than it used to.
We have a new guest in the house tonight and her name is Precious! We met the dog's owner Allan this morning as he dropped off his Golden Retriever. Like one of our previous stud service clients, the dog's owner is a busy person and he is going out of town this weekend-- thus cannot drop their female dog 3x (every other day) to our place.
We're going to be dog-sitters for the next couple of days.
We have had many instances wherein our dog guests do not like our dog food. They eat so little and I do not like that. Either they are homesick thus has no appetite. Perhaps they are fed a different dog food brand mixed with ultra delicious sauces or their owners feed them pure table food. For my own pack, I do mix in human food once in awhile but I am extra careful--feeding mostly vegetables and shredded meat. I do not add savory sauces and soups if they are salty and made delicious with flavor enhancers (MSGs, ready-mixed stuff and bouillons are a total no-no!).
Aside from stamina during the stud session, these future moms need their nutrition for a healthy womb environment. So, learning from our previous experience--- We always advice the owner of the dam to BRING THEIR OWN DOG FOOD. Not only that, we tell them to REPACK it in the appropriate portions/food servings of their dog. When we meet up, we ask about the feeding time and other weird habits of their dog. Talk about personal service. :)
As a dog friendly Bed & Breakfast, How I wish we had real doggy beds for our guest, complete with fresh sheets. (uh-oh!). Spoil them to frenzy with their own towels, shampoo & massage too. Being realistic, we feed our guest, give them fresh mineral water, play with them and take them out for short walks too.
SLIVERS AND SLIVERS OF LIVER So back to our guest for tonight: Precious. Imagine my disbelief when the dog's owner handed my the food: a pack of liver. He then told me that his Precious does not eat dog food at all. Naturally we are going to mix the liver with rice. I asked, "So what do you feed your dog back home?" He goes, "Liver everyday." WHAT? Was he totally serious?
I told him that feeding liver for long periods of time is BAD for dogs. Yes, liver is a remedy against anemia... it contains a unique acid that from the blood in the liver (thus giving "fresh blood"). What's scary is you have to make sure that the liver you are feeding your dogs comes from a healthy animal. Among the liver's many responsibilities are blood detoxification, waste removal and bile production to aid digestion. If that liver you are feeding your dogs comes from a bad source, you may directly be feeding your dogs bacteria and toxic stuff. There's such a thing as liver toxicity that's why just give it to your dog with moderation, not more than twice a week.
I use boiled liver as dog treats, but again...too much is harmful. It may cause vitamin A toxicity. Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin which means excess is not excreted in the urine. This can cause deformed bones, excessive bone growth on the elbows and spine, weight loss and anorexia.
Oh please, go easy on the liver for Precious when she gets back home.
Its so good to be back home after being out of town for 5 days. We missed our dogs so much! Two of our dogs sleep in our room: Suki, the Am. cocker spaniel and Kenzo, the Siberian Husky.
The natural way to wake up At exactly 7am, Kenzo wakes up and jumps on our bed to wet our face with his slurpy kisses. If you try to push him down the bed, the more he will try to kiss you some more. I reached out for my cam and took some photos this morning.
He won't stop kissing us not until we stand up.
They both have their dog beds and their own pillows right below our bed. Kenzo is getting so big already (turning 8 months) that we had to get him his own bed.Suki is the cunning one. She waits for us to sleep and then climbs on our bed once we're snoring.
What a pretty sight! Since Kenzo woke me up first, I was able to take a photo of my hubby and Suki asleep! Suki likes to snuggle up.
Now that we're all awake, here's Kenzo lying down and hugging me. If I say the command "lie down" he automatically lies down in my lap for his much favorite belly rub.
This is Kenzo's favorite spot.... directly facing the air-con. He has super bionic ears. Once he hears the air-con being turned on, he quickly makes a dash to this spot to position himself.
We're all up but Suki falls asleep again in the foot of the bed. Kenzo tries to nudge and wake her up but to no avail. The cool air-con and our cozy room is very conducive to sleep in. Besides, its so early!
See how coffee tastes better, after being slurped by our dog! Hanging out over s cup of coffee one lazy afternoon with my hubby, GK and Budoy. This was actually an old video clip taken last January 2009. I bought 3 new different flavors of Nescafe Coffee 3-in-1 mix and we were trying it out.
A short video of my 7 dogs playing a game of fetch. Oh how they love to frolic and run outside our house and in the beach. Footages were taken 2 months ago.
Also catch Keanu (now owned by ashtareth) Nina (now owned by chickrock) and Mojo (now owned by Chomeng) Simone (Emerie, is not here because she was already with her new owner Squire).
Music arranged and performed by my band Junior Kilat.
In addition to feeding my pack their daily dog food, I take the time every week to make some them healthy dog treats. It's great for snacking during our daily afternoon walks and I also use it as a reward when I train my dogs.
Satin Balls are made to put weight on your dogs. That's why I originally made them because I have one dog (among my pack of 7) who's a very picky eater. He's not only picky, he eats very slow. Pretty weird for a humongous golden retriever.
Now i make Satin Balls as dog treats and only use high quality lean ground beef. I only feed a 2-4 ping-pong sized balls per training (which I also divide into smaller bite-sized treats). I don't want them to get used to eating this delicious treat (without the dog food) as it will spoil them.
Here's one version of Satin Balls:
Ground Beef
Wheat Germ
Oatmeal
Eggs
Karo syrup (mollasses)
I mix the ingredients above and then roll it in crushed whole wheat cereal (no sugar) for some crunch. Sometimes I mix in some chopped boiled chicken liver and a little cheese, but just a little bit because too much is not good for them.
I sprinkle their dog food with a little Wheat Germ a few times each week (I tend to forget as it is stored in the fridge). :)
One of the things we include in our grocery list is plain yogurt and yakult. All my dogs love it!
Every week we each give them 2 tablespoons of yogurt and half a serving of yakult. They both have live cultures that includes Lactobacillus Acidophilus. Probiotics keeps us humans and dogs healthy! They replace the bad bacteria with the good bacteria and it helps to maintain a good digestive system.
Yogurt is also great for dogs with diarrhea and upset stomach. If you have tiny puppies that are sick, its ok to give them a little yogurt because it's very gentle on the tummy. Yogurt is also one of the main ingredients in homemade puppy formula.
When our dogs get sick and we have to administer some real antibiotics-- we always bounce them back with yogurt. Antibiotics attempt to kill off ALL bacteria in the system -- good guys and bad guys alike. So we need to replace the good bacteria that was also destroyed by antibiotic treatments.
Please don't buy flavored yogurt, with fruit bits as they are too sweet for them.
Never give them fresh cow's milk since dogs lack the enzymes to process cow's milk, so this can cause an upset stomach. Be very careful just in case your pet is lactose intolerant.
I used to buy benebac for my newborn puppies, but I realized that yogurt can give the same beneficial effect.
My dogs loved boiled or steamed veggies. This cauliflower snack is for my Cocker Spaniel, Suki. This is one of her favorite veggies.
While those treats above were for my dogs, I made some treats for us humans as well! Homemade blueberry cheesecake! yum yum yum! (wiped-out in just one day)
My hubby was the one present in the stud session above. He forgot the name of this light-colored female golden. whoops! My hubby also forgot to take photos of the other dog that had Summer's stud service last April. Talk about being forgetful. :) I was out of town that time and he even forget to fill up our official records to keep track of all our stud services.
Hubby didn't like the shooter named Dennis and swears never to allow him to be near Summer again. This particular shooter was chosen by the owner of the dog and it was his first time to be us. He was very rough and crude. Just as Summer was about to release, he offensively showed Summer's thing to my hubby while it was inside the female's body. I wouldn't go down to rest of the details of what else he did. Why he did it, we don't know. It's very unprofessional and cruel. All we were concerned about was that Summer let out a yelp and was hurt. Our poor dog.
--------
Here are my shots of Lyka and Athena, both gorgeous goldens! The rain suddenly poured hard thus we had to do the stud session inside the garage. Lyka and Summer both got wet here as they were transferred indoors. The shooter's name is Paul and he was ok.
---------
Here's our favorite shooter, Rod...doing his thing as gentle as can be. He knows Summer's style and the way he approaches his female as he readies to mount. We had to let Summer rest for a month, because he had some treatments. We had to turn down one stud session, but its all good! All for the well being of Summer boy.
After more than a month of abstinence, Summer was as hot as ever. hehe! As soon as he saw Athena, Summer was able to mount him in less than a minute...barely with the help of the shooter. We all laughed so hard!
Athena is a first-timer and Rod was amazed that she didn't cry and hesitated a bit. He mentioned he forgot to bring the muzzle (an essential for first-timer females, so they wouldn't nip when they're in pain). Athena, without any qualms looked like she was actually enjoying it! :)
Summer was amazing as usual! smooth and steady...
Aaaathena baby! One of our favorite dog boarders. She stayed with us for almost a week, even after the stud sessions. Her owner, a very nice guy left out-of-town for work. He baby talks to Athena a lot and that's how this dog probably got her loving attitude. She's the sweetest dog and would call our attention everytime we'd pass by. She craves for a loving rub on her belly. Once you stop, she'll bark to ask for some more pats.
She's initially quite a shy dog and would often hide her tail in submission. Our dogs had fun playing with Athena and I'm pretty sure she had fun too. It's a great thing that she's trained to walk off-leash, thus she was able to join a long game of fetch with my dogs every afternoon.
Here's Athena chasing the ball with Suki, my Cocker Spaniel
ere are some pics of the puppies of our dog Summer and Sunshine. I think there's still some male pups available. If i'm not mistaken, the pups are at P8k only. Contact Eddie at 0910-2514036.

This is how Summer exactly looked like when he was a pup!
Summer's bloodlines sure are strong as they come out dominantly in his puppies.
Here are more photos of my 3 dogs at Hale Manna Resort in Moalboal Beach, Cebu. I lost the rope toy and ball that I brought somewhere-- but was glad that I found a small driftwood for them to play with.
It was Kenzo's first time in the ocean (and to swim for that matter), but this pup is a brave one! He headed straight to the waters without any hesitation at all.
My Zoe girl really loves to play fetch!
SIBERIAN HUSKY BEATS GOLDEN RETRIEVER
IN FETCHING THE STICK
I'm proud of you Kenzo! How on earth did you beat Zoe on that one?
Champion swimmer
I love the splashing water!
Addicted to the sea! Zoe got the stick again.
The 3 dogs race for the stick! Kenzo had his eye on it already
My hubby together with Suki. It's slowly getting dark.
I better do some last minute snorkeling while there's still sunlight...
I tied Zoe up just so she wouldn't head to the waters again. Look at her, still
gazing at the ocean. Zoe just can't get enough.
Another captured shot of Suki being h*rny again
Now that my dogs were all dry, it was time for me to have some fun.
This is me snorkeling and meditating underwater. haha! This is part of my
lotus-position yoga photo series. My bro took this shot
It was sunset when my brother and I finished snorkeling.
I took this shot of him. What a beautiful sunset at the beach!
Here's our stud dog Summer with the hot chick, Tyler humping away a few months back. It was not a one-night stand, rather a three-day affair. hehe!
Because of that union, this is what they produced:
Thanks for the photos Marjorie! Summer and Tyler's puppies and they are awfully cute!
Born on March 9, 2009 = 1 male and 7 female pups With PCCI papers... Had their deworming last April 4 then at the end of this week, they will have the 5 in 1 vaccine... They are fed with Go Natural Grain Free Dog Food.

put weight on your dogs. That's why I originally made them because I have one dog (among my pack of 7) who's a very picky eater. He's not only picky, he eats very slow. Pretty weird for a humongous golden retriever.
