My recent visit home to Manila was short but it was truly one of the best. I'm just so happy that I was able to try a number of new restaurants and those meals were shared with the people who matters the most to me. As they say, quality over quantity . Aside from my closest friends and family, I also took the time out to treat that special one that continues to bring so much joy to our family -- meet our lovable doggie named Scottie ! One morning, Pan and I decided to take Scottie out for a ride and for a quick snack somewhere in the neighborhood. Pan discovered Whole Pet Kitchen  where she and Mommy brought Scottie to have some lasagna a couple of weeks back. It's a small pet specialty cafe that offers hot meals and pastries for the dogs and their owners alike. I believe it's the 1st one in the country and I'm so glad that it's not so far from home as Scottie can get so restless in the car. I love how cozy the whole place was however I wish the floor tiles were...

As I end this work week and am raring to start my long weekend, I came home to see my cute furry orange-brown pomeranian waiting for me. Scottie is a boy dog but instead of being fierce and scary, he's really sweet and adorable that he would wait for every single member of the family to get home before he finally sleeps at night. The moment we walk in, he would excitedly go around us turning around and around like a merry-go-round and he would sniff and lick our toes till we tell to stop. I love talking to Scottie, call me crazy but my little smart dog really do respond! Of course, he doesn't talk back (and I'm hoping he never will or that would freak me out) but check this video out on how he would react to my voice. It's totally hilarious it drove me nuts laughing for one full hour. Please ignore my nasal voice. :P I ♥ ♥ ♥ you, my dear Scottie. Stay as sweet, cute and funny as you always are.

Dear Scottie (the Hottie), You have no idea how much joy you bring to the family. I can't believe the effect that you have... with your joyful bark as I walk in the room makes my day's stress and worries go away in an instant. Who would believe that I was never a dog-lover before..make than an animal-lover at that. I was dead scared of puppies like you most especially those that would chase me around the room to lick my feet. Not wanting to sound dramatic but..you changed me. You love music and everytime Mommy would play the piano you would quietly listen and walk around in tip-toes as not to disturb her. You may still have to be potty-trained and can be a bit gross with your poo-eating habit but we still love you dearly. Continue to brighten our day, dear Scottie as we will take care of you forever and ever. Love lots, Fran :) *photo credit: Paul Ang

Presenting the newest baby in our household! SCOTTIE!!! A two-month old Pomeranian who, as of the moment, has not yet been potty-trained. He loves walking around our first and second floors, doesn't make much noise and immediately knows who his master (my dad) is. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!
