One year old!

It's someone's birthday today!!

Yes, it's Rico's!! He's finally turning one today. Look how much he's grown!

From this little guy

To this big guy, who's already one!

His eyes may look huge, licks people with smelly fish breath and a lop-sided grin, has a silly wag, pounces on me when he's excited, not the perfect height, but that's just what makes him a Rico. And I love him all the same, although he might not be some champion or anything important, but he will be my stinky puppy forever and I love him. I hope he will always be the smelly puppy who brings me his stinky tug toys forever.

Happy one year old birthday, Rico, my best buddy and pal!!!

Picture post!

Happenings.

So many things have happened for the past one month!

Mommy registered me for a jumpers dogsport class, and I'm looking forward to becoming a hip agility dog like my Grandpa and Daddy!

But Mommy says I ain't got any stamina cause just after an hour I become like this!

Hey! Who said I looked like that! At least I still had energy to look at the camera!!! >:(

And just a week ago, one of my teeth flew out while playing tug with Mommy! *sob* My poor tooth!!!

That's all there is folks! Signing out now!

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? ;)
