Goodbye Mr. Penguin

Today, we said goodbye to an old friend. Someone who has been by Angel’s side from the beginning.

He was Angel’s friend, nanny, and chew toy. He has weathered many washes and repairs but still he survived Angel’s temperaments. He was there as she slept, played and ate, and when she was in the cargo hold during her flight to Canada, he kept her company.

From mommy to the puppies he still tried to be there for every one of them. But the years caught up with him and he couldn’t handle anymore. I found him withered and lifeless amongst the puppies toys. The once elegant and proud Mr. Penguin has succumbed to his injuries. I knew when I saw him that it’s time to put him out of his misery and let him die in dignity.

Hail – male, brown coat
Rain and Storm – female twins with dark brown coat

Wonder who’s going to grow up to look like Chaos and who’s going to look like Angel…

Angel

Angel has been with us since she was 3 months old and since then, she became a very precious part of our family. I had 2 nephews when I left for Canada, now I have 3 and going on 4, so Angel is the only princess. And like any baby, we  documented her growth with pictures upon pictures of pure cuteness!!

Angel with her fave toy Mr. Penguin who we brought to Canada with us. Mr. Penguin lost a lot of filling, but he is still Angel's favorite

Angel’s Prayer

Angel’s Nightly Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep
The king-size bed is soft and deep

I sleep right in the center groove
My human being can hardly move!

I’ ve trapped their legs, they’re tucked in tight
And here is where I pass the night

No one disturbs me or dares intrude
Till morning comes and “I want food!”

I sneak up slowly to begin
My nibbles on my mommy’s chin.

For the morning’s here and it’s time to play
I always seem to get my way.

*Not my poem, but is sure fit Angel to a T! My partner posted this in her website. I just liked it so much I thought I’d share it with you all.

Yin Yang

It must really be fate that brought our Chaos to us…

I’ve had a lot of comments about how cool their names are…  ANGEL and CHAOS, like night and day, Yin and Yang, Up and Down, left and right… Opposites, just like their personalities.

Angel is actually the CHAOTIC one and Chaos is the more ANGELIC one, which is kind of funny when we go to the park and you would hear us shouting, “Angel NO! Bad Angel!” and “Good boy Chaos.” Such an Oxymoron, right?

Angel is: funny, playful, noisy, stubborn, friendly, happy, carefree, cheerful… (but the most behaved crazy dog ever)

While Chaos is: grumpy, shy, quiet, crabby, sullen, jumpy, nervous, ratty… (but the sweetest grouch I have ever loved)

You could actually see in their photos how different they are…

My smiling Angel. Always a ready smile when she sees the camera

Mr. Grouch, like he'd bite your head off for taking his picture

Don't let that angelic face fool you. When she's off her leash, she turns deaf and won't hear you when you call her to come.

Always the protector dog on the guard. Can't even play when he's on duty

Don't get me wrong, Chaos does smile sometimes. Specially when we are outside. It's just hard to catch coz it disappears when he sees the camera.

these are my babies... the overgrown puppy and the pint sized guard dog.

I just love them… they complete me!
