Sugar the Playful Dachshund

Last April 2015, we met this cute dachshund named Chelsea and she effortlessly won our heart. Chelsea was supposed to be my brother’s dog but since they are having their first baby, we end up adopting her. Chelsea was re-named to Sugar (which perfectly fits her “sugar Rush” energy). She was born with 3 brothers, namely Coco, Joey and Ram. They are puppies from my College professor and good friend Mam Nuy.

Sugar is the first pup that I’ll be shared parenting with my partner and it was fun to think that she’s our child. Her everyday antics are just precious. We remember her to be shy at first but ended up being extra playful. She already destroyed all her toys which is normal for puppies. Bubbles and Cooper was a little awkward with her at first. Sugar is the first dog that gets to share their home with and jealousy stepped in.  But they ended up accepting her in their own little pack though Bubbles didn’t really like her that much. Cooper on the other hand is just the best big brother ever!

We just celebrated Sugar’s birthday last weekend and truly she has been a great addition to our small family. A kid full of love, positivity and just genuinely happy. Her hobby is to jump high and play with her chew toys. She has this special trick where she pretends she’s swimming when you hold her high. Sugar loves her mommy Rox so much and her favorite part of the day is where she can spend time with her.

Having Sugar is just pure joy and we are looking forward to share more of her adventure with Bubbles and Cooper. Truly, they are the best Dachshund pack ever (I’m a bias). 

Bubbles Birthday Celebration

As we grow older we realized that everyday is a blessing. This is how I see my furbaby's birthday, another year added to their lives always calls for a celebration. Bubbles celebrated her birthday last June 13, 2014 together with her favorite humans and forever furry buddy Cooper. I bought dog treats for them and cooked food for the humans.

I was always branded half crazy in our family because of this kind of stuff and I actually never mind their opinion. A birthday should always be celebrated even through small gatherings. A dogs life is short so it must be savored.

Here are some photos from our little celebration where we ate, chat and enjoyed a bright sunny day.

Fur Babies Apparels Summer Collection Photoshoot

Fur Babies Apparels is a crazy idea of mine that I would like to take venture with a good friend and my dear dogs. Our first collection was long over due to it's release but better late than never. The fun stuff started in our photo shoot session with my gorgeous dogs Bubbles and Cooper. I expected it to be super hard specially for Cooper since he is so hyper. But I guess they proved me wrong. I made a mini set for them with banderitas in the background to give it some summer vibe. Both of them surprised me seeing how they posed on their own. I can say that I'm a super proud mummy of two beautiful dachshunds at that moment. Now we are excited to share to everyone the photos that we took for our Summer Collection.

It was a busy and tiring day a I remember in my head but the result was really worth it. I am no professional photographer but this batch is a good try for an inexperienced me. ^_^

Chaotic Swimming Lesson with the Fur Babies

We all had that moment when we were younger and still close to our parents. You go out of town with them and your father teaches you how to swim. I can never figure out then why my Dad always lets me go in a pool as he tries to teach me how to swim (which I never really learned totally). But now that I have my fur babies and has no plans of having any kid in the future, made me think it's time for them to take their swimming lesson too. ^_^

Ofcourse, I've plan this since last summer but was to thrifty to get an actual mini pool. I was looking for something with good quality but on a bargain price and never found one that fits the bill. I was on a strict budget then and to think that I have an actual job a year ago. Now that I am bum, this is the time that I chose to spend some more for my fur babies. Got a pool twice the size that I've planned and not on SALE. Not the typical cheap version of me but well gotta spoiled them sometimes.

But ofcourse, I realized that my fur babies would have prefer treats over the mini-pool I got them. As you can see in this photo, they don't look happy about it. lol

Look at how Cooper is so problematic on the side of this photo. He super hates the water and doesn't know how to swim. I'm sure of that because one time at my Dads Farm, Bubbles jumps in to the water system as Cooper followed her. I made my cousin jump to get them because Cooper was struggling to swim.

So the day after I bought the pool, we gave it a test run due to the 1 week warranty for an exchange if it has a leak. I throw in Bubbles first and she was really surprise but got to swim on her own. I did plan to take videos and photos but when I included Cooper in the pool that's where things got crazy. ^_^ He was so afraid that they both ended up dragging me to the pool. I can't get up since they are both hanging on to me like monkeys. So goodbye to my plan of taking photos and videos. Slowly Cooper stop going crazy over the water and I finally get to give him few lessons. I hold him as he paddle, the same way that was did to me when I was young. He was paddling as if he'll drown and it was too funny. 

It was a chaotic first day of swimming lessons for my fur babies but I'm looking forward for our next try. Got to take 4 photos before I took of the water from the pool and I'm really proud of my babies. Good first try, specially for the scared Cooper. Bubbles was swimming like a professional so the focus of the lesson is more for Cooper. ^_^

They look super cute right!? Well till our next swimming lesson and hopefully we'll have videos.
