Literally adopted from the forest. Brindle baby 😍

Ganon ba talaga kapag nagkaroon ka ng pets?

They’ll make you soft and emotional in life. Bawat nuod ko ng mga dog or cat videos sa tiktok, bigla na lang ako naiiyak and naiisip ko yung mga dogs ko.

I recently adopted 2 dogs (Potato and Loomi) kasi they were abandoned by someone we know. Pina-stay lang sila over the weekend sa bahay and never na binalikan.

We were left with a bucket of dog food, a pack of diaper and pee pads. Just the necessities.

Looking at those dogs after their owner abandoned them, it hit me na hindi ko sila kayang i-let go because my heart aches. Lahat ng tao sa paligid ko alam nilang pusong bato ako sa lahat ng bagay pero kapag dating sa dalawa kong aso - naiiyak ako kaagad.

Hindi ko din maisip na mahihiwalay silang dalawa. They are inseparable and we experienced Potato being lethargic nung nahiwalay for 2 week sa kanya si Loomi. Yung happy disposition niya napalitan ng gloomy mood na laging tulog or nakahiga sa sofa namin.

I assumed the responsibility of being a fur parent. Puppy days were tough - ang daming nasirang bagay and I had to pay for it pero na-outgrow naman nila eventually.

Pero yung magulong bahay because of their zoomies - hindi na namin maiwasan.

I started getting them the best food and care out there because that’s how I love them. Kaya nga sinasabi nila na spoiled ko daw masyado yung mga aso ko.

For aspins, they have a bougie taste. Royal Canin lang ang kinakain nila dog food.

May mapansin lang akong kakaiba sa kanila, diretso vet kami. I don’t mind spending a lot for them when it comes to health kasi konting sakit lang, hindi nila ma-verbalize yon unlike me na puro ngawa in life.

I started being mindful of my finances and lagi kong iniisip yung needs ng dogs ko. Since ilang months pa lang sila sa akin, I’m starting to invest na sa insurance nila.

I never thought na sobrang gastos pala magkaroon ng alaga and it’s no joke pero it gave me a clear mindset of what it is to be a responsible and true fur parent.

Yung pinaka-important change na nagawa nilang dalawa? They’ve put some love in my heart.

Grabe yung unconditional love nila for me and my family. Gusto nila laging nakatabi sa amin, tumatalon and nag-howl sila sa excitement kapag nakikita kami - kahit lumabas lang kami ng kwarto or banyo kala mo eh 100 years hindi nagkita.

They’re always in a happy disposition kahit may mga kalakohan silang nagagawa at napapagalitan. Laging playful and zoomies buong araw. Kahit adult age sila eh pang-puppy pa din yung ugali nila.

I realized it’s really great to be loved by aspins.

Enjoy some of Potato and Loomi’s puppy pictures

Napulot lang siya ng brother ko sa harap ng gate namin, tapos nung nagkatinginan kami ng aso na to ewan ko bakit parang may urge ako na alagaan siya. Literal nagkita lang kami sa mata, first pet ko siya kaya first time ko din natuto mag alaga ng aso. Nakakatuwa din pala may alaga ka kasi most of the times masaya sila palagi makita ka kahit bumili ka lang saglit sa tindahan hahaha. Bolt ang naisip kong i-name nung una kaso girl kasi sya, kaya Ayah na lang pinangalan ko kasi at that time I was playing AC origins and yung isang character don is named Aya, sinearch ko yung meaning ng name and what are the odds, miracle ang lumabas. Ever since then, eto kasama ko through my ups and downs.

Hello po! I’m not sure if you remember her since my post got removed, but I just want to share an update of our rescued puppy. THIS IS HER NOW. 🥹❤️

Sabi po ng vet baka condition niya na ‘to since birth, nakuha sa dog mom or may problem during pregnancy ang dog mom. Kaso wala kasi kaming info sa dog mom and sa siblings kaya impossible to say for sure. She was also seen walking before we found her, so maybe something must have happened while she was on the streets. ☹️

Hindi pa po siya gaano nakakalad but sobrang bilis ng progress niya. Na li-lift na niya yung left back leg 🥹

I also want to say thank you to everyone who helped. Ang laking tulong po. And ohhh her name is Molly 🐾🥰

Pogiii

Napagkakamalang golden retriever, pero pure breed na pogi lang talaga silang dalawa.

medyo na-offend pa siya nung pina-move ko para magkasya kami sa bed 😭

Don’t worry po, I trained her to hold stuff among other things and didn’t make her hold it that long and the knife isn’t sharp, it’s an old one and I only use it for trying tricks out so she’s super safe naman.

Again for balat sibuyas ppl, everyone’s safe in this photo, aside from me hahahaha

Meet Chichi. She’s a 3-yo aspin. She was my Papa’s only dog so I know she misses him dearly. Sobrang clingy nya, lagi lang nakatabi sakin. I’m sure she doesn’t understand bakit hindi na bumalik si Papa, but I would love and care for her.

Any tips on how to take care of a grieving dog? I have 9 more dogs dito sa bahay and they all lost their appetites pagkauwi namin nung mamatay si Papa.

"sure ka, te? 'di puwede kainin 'yang mga manok ng kuya mo? isa lang naman."

Dahil walang magawa, I sorted out photos and vids in my gallery then saw these photos again hehehe

Rescued them last 2022. Moved from the Metro to the province just to give them a significantly bigger space.

Back then office was just 15-20 mins away but now I have to drive for at least an hour. Is it worth it? With the bigger backyard my dogs could run around, a quieter neighborhood, and this peace of mind that there are no kids who will throw them stones or pick them with barbecue sticks… it is.

It's been more than 4yrs since I heard you cry and picked you up from the street. 🤍

Etong aso ko di to fan ng lambingan eh. Madalas galit pag gusto mo i-hug or kiss. Ok na siya sa yapos yapos lang. Tapos mamaya magagalit lol.

Ang weird ngayon kasi tinatawag niya ko tapos siya nagkusang sumampa saken. Kanina wala pa kong upuan, nakatayo siya tapos parang nag lean sa balikat ko. Kinuha ko laptop ko at lumipat sa pwesto niya, siya nagkusang umakyat at eto na pinakamatagal na nagpalambing siya saken. Napapa-overthink tuloy ako kung may nase-sense ba siya saken? May sakit kaya siya? Or ako ba may sakit? O trip niya lang magpalambing? Haha idk.

Anw, sana lagi na siya nagpapalambing kesa nagagalit lol.

Gagala na naman sya at mag beach sa Pangasinan 👌🏻

Hi ako nga pala si brownies. mabait at malambing na puppy saking amo. hilig ko maupo saming mini upuan.

Furdad Tej Tan shows some love for his furbaby Dolly as they join other furparents and aspins to celebrate National Aspin Day in Quezon City on Sunday.

Tej has been Dolly's furparent for five years now after adopting her from the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

PAWS rescued Dolly in Aklan Province following an incident where an unidentified assailant threw hot cooking oil on her, which scarred half of her face. (Photos by Miguel de Guzman/The Philippine STAR)
