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. 

Bubbles & Cooper 2013 Christmas

Christmas is extra special this year because I haven't got to celebrate it with them last 2012. So I gave them the best gift I can get for them and that's a fund day out in the park. Dogs are selflessly inlove with their family and just want a great quality time with them.

Cooper is not used to going out due to my busy schedule when I got him 4 years ago. I was a fresh graduate from college and never had the quality time to take them out. That's why now the he's turning 4 years old, it's really hard for me to bring him out of the house. Copper is super strong and runs off easily. Lost him twice already so I'm not taking any risk this time. Bought him a strong vest for big dogs so he can't pull it off and for safety I have to dog chains so if ever the other one breaks down. One in his vest and the other in his neck collar.

Bubbles was the easy part since she grew up going out on trips since in her puppy days. She loves to go out and gets excited when she hears the bell in her bag rings. Hare are the photos from our day out in the sun and some other Christmas photos that we took. I just love to share my life with this two fur babies and I love them with all my heart.

Have a fun New Years celebration to everyone! From me and my 4 legged kids ^_^

Cooper Loves Soccer

It's Sunday here and my day started with kisses from my two lovely doxies. They love the morning sun and both has their own "habits". While Bubbles is busy outside chasing anything he sees that flies, Cooper is busy looking for his mini soccer ball. When he find his ball, his goal is to look for a human buddy to play with him. Most of the time I'm his playmate since he is a mama's boy! ^_^ So here's the photo I took earlier before and after we played mini soccer. Always a happy Sunday in our home with my two fur babies.

Dental Care for the Two Furry Babies

Normal day here in our home when I noticed Bubbles teeth turning yellow. I am actually guilty of this because of they lack on dental care. It was actually 3 years ago when I stopped brushing her teeth and Cooper never experienced his teeth being cleaned. So now it is my goal to make this a daily habit for them because cavities are just around the corner. I was browsing pictures in the internet about dog teeth cavities and it looks really bad.

Here's a video on how you can clean you fur babies teeth:

So what do you need for your dog's dental kit?

1) Dual Head Toothbrush : cost- Php 35 - Php 50

2) Toothpaste for Dogs : cost- Php 290- Php 500 (depends on the brand)

3) Breath Spray : cost- Php 390  (helps control plaques build up that leads to healthier teeth.)

So let's keep our fur babies teeth clean and healthy. Remember that they are our responsibilities and it's a blessing to have them in our lives. People may think that we are doing too much for our babies but in reality they deserve all of it. As my good friend Joshua from Twitter says "There's no such thing as spoiled dogs, they are just loved." If people thinks your a nutcase just because you have the capacity to love too much then I pity them for not experiencing this type of love. My family and friends already gave me this "your crazy" kind of look and I really don't care. I love Cooper and Bubbles and promise to protect and care for them the best way I know how.
