You and Me.

In this big universe called Earth,

there's only you and me.

We both look each other.

I don't need to tell you how much you mean to me, or call you my "baby".

You don't need to snuggle into my lap or lick my face.

Yet.

We both know, our existence is treasured, and that we'll be together forever, no matter what.

The ladies in Rico's family.

The ladies in Rico's family went to compete in the 6th Singapore FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) and came back with great rewards! Below are his two sisters and his birth Mommy :)

Above here is JJ, Rico's older sister from his Mommy and Daddy's previous litter before him! She has matured beautifully since the last time I saw her in 2009! She was still a lanky little puppy that time, but now she's a little princess (who still has her zoomies!) Apparently she is shedding and out of coat, but she did really well!

Here is Rico's lovely Mama, Trixee! Her coat has grown back since giving birth to Rico and his sister, Tira last year and is back in the show ring! Rico really takes after her, doesn't he? Especially the silly sheltie smile!

This pretty girl is Rico's little sister (who's not so little any more), and according to her breeder, she's improved a lot! I think so too! She's such a promising little girl! I still remember her as a little puppy when she came over to our place with Rico when she was young. Miss those puppy days!

Don't they look alike? ;) That's Rico when he was 8 months old, by the way.

Anyway, we're really proud of the ladies in Rico's family! They did very well in the FCI show, and we hope they will continue achieving as much in the shows to come! :) The photos are a courtesy of Aristomilago Kennels.

Peanut butter and Honey Cookies!

Today we made a batch of cookies for our little Ric! Unlike our previous cranberry ones, these are peanut butter and honey cookies, made with love by mom and me :)

Anyway, here are a few pictures!

Ric really loved them so it just spurs us on to make more for him! Haha!

Banana muffins!

Mommy's mom made banana muffins for me yesterday!!!!! They were really nice and boy was I happy!

Mommy said I could have choked judging by the way I was wolfing my muffin down, but I am a smart pup so I won't do anything so ridiculous, don't you agree? ;)

Am I a good owner?

I realized why I was so down recently. And that was because I realized I wasn't a good owner to Rico.

You know, when I was young, I thought keeping a dog meant loving it and it would just love you back like that.

But no, it meant so much more. After what I see from the other owners, they seem to all bring their dogs out to special places almost every week, while Rico is always stuck at home with me, keeping me company in some old dingy room while I study

Other dogs have so much fun while he's always at home because of one out of these three reasons 1. I don't have the transport 2. I don't have the money 3. I don't have the time

Other dogs have companions at home but Rico only has himself and he's always waiting for me to play tug with him, but I end up making him disappointed because I have to study for the exams.

And I always see dog owners competing in competitions with their dog and says they are both happy. Maybe that's what makes them happy- winning. But too bad I can't do that either, because I can't enter Rico into any contests.

I don't have anything to give him, yet he was always there for me.

I think I'm such an incompetent owner- Rico deserves a lot better than some lousy teen like me.
