My Dog Watcing Red Dog

You know I’m such a sucker for Dog films, Hatchiko and Marley & Me are my favorites. My sister recommended me to watch Red Dog so we set up a big screen in my brother’s chamber. Now, I have companion in watching the film because I’m watching it with my dog Twinkle.

I think twinkle got mesmerized by Red Dog in screen that she manages to watch and wag her tail every time Red Dog appears. So cute, because she felt sad when Red Dog died. She barked as if commanding Red Dog to wake up.

Red dog is based on legendary true story of dog that lived his life hitching rides and travelling in Pilbara Australia. The canine was adored and well taken care by the community. He had no master though until such time he chose a Bus driver to be his master. The dog traveled with his master in his bus trips. Red Dog’s master died, like the film Hachiko he waited for his master to arrive. When he finally realizes that his master is not returning home he decided to look for him and started his search journey on his own. Red Dog died because of poisoning. His body was found on his master’s grave.

It’s amazing how dogs are loyal with their master. I was wondering if my dog would the same for me. When, I first bought Twinkle I was so giddy to bring her home. Little did I know, that their lifespan is short and separation from her would be excruciating.  

Buying a Shih Tzu (first hand experience)

Twinkle’s real name is ‘ZhenZhen of Rach-a-beth’ (as stated on her PCC registration certificate). I bought her 12,000Php at The Grooming Palace Pet Shop at Tiendesitas Pet Village. This includes 1 shot of vaccine, a small pack of dog food, leash, 1 free grooming service and discounts on their pet merchandises such as cage, dog shampoo and comb.

What I liked about The Grooming Palace pet shop is the basic sanitation and accommodating pet shop staff. They also, offer quality puppies you can see it for yourself.

Dogs that are registered at Philippine Canine Club, Inc. (PCCI) are more expensive as compared to non-registered dogs. PCCPI was organize to promote and encourage love for pure bred dogs.

This is how a PCCPI Registration Certificate looks like…

• It is like a birth certificate that lists down the date of birth of the dog, its sire and dam, color and specific markings.


• It shows the genetic lineage or ancestry (four generations in the case of the PCCI) of each dog.

We have tried all sorts of food to feed our shih tzu dog. We even tried this gourmet food from cesar on top of her usual dog kibbles. Di ba sosyal lang? Meron siyang ulam for the win.

After a week or so, she doesn’t want to eat her food again. She just sniffs it. So here I am, the ever loving supportive mommy bought her an alternative pedegree packed dog food. Again, after almost 3 weeks here we go again she just sniffs her food so I tried cooking her boiled carrots. Kaloka lang di ba? I can see how enthusiastic she is with her dog food. Not to mention that she’ll go crazy for KFC’s mashed potato with matching dancing and wagging her tail if she sees it.

Oh my gulay! Sometimes this dog is such pain-in-the-ass! But I lover her!
