Cheers For Logan

It was almost the end of 2011, December 30 when I squeezed in a quick trip to Davao to meet Irving and his family. I arrived around 4 in the afternoon, managed to buy 2 pairs of shoes at SM and stuffed our empty stomachs with grilled chicken at Toryano’s. We passed by outside JS Gaisano and found this cute, black puppy inside a cage. Apparently, this dog has caught our attention with its tail that wiggles forever. A Labrador whom Irving loves to own all his life. Like true siguristas, we asked about the papers, the puppy’s parents and the vaccination history. Inquiries would never be enough as we cradle the puppy into our arms, played with it for a bit and off we went home. We’d like to get the dog but need to reconsider since buying a dog doesn’t come cheap. So off we went home and with us was the mobile number of the seller. While we were walking, we sort of gigil with the dog and 95% certain we’ll buy the dog. What was holding us back was who will take care of the dog? His parents cannot take the dog home in Parang, his sister can’t take it also on Manila because of schedule issue. So that leaves me and him. While he’s more of a dog lover than me, it would be best if the dog will be with me. So we both decided.

Wait. Didn’t I share I wasn’t a sucker for pets. I just started (trying) to touch dogs (in particular) because of Irving. He has influenced me on his love for dogs. True enough, dogs are lovable, cuddly and fun. But I wasn’t sure then about taking care of a Labrador. I really had apprehensions but I accepted the responsibility. All night we were thinking and rethinking the option of having a dog for real. The thought of having the dog for a much cheaper price compared with the mall prices nagged us all night. The very morning we were much resolved with buying the dog. With his sister in tow, the three of us happily bought the dog. At that moment, the dog was rightly ours and it deserves a name. And he will be called LOGAN (from Wolverine).

Fast Facts:

What could be more exhilarating to welcome a brand new year than welcoming a Lab into your house! Yes, Logan officially became the member of our family in January 1, 2012 and even joined our family reunion.

Here is Logan, 52 days old. Still looking cute and playing with his towel. Labs are known for their outgoing temperament and is very evident with Logan.

Feels really at home as he peacefully sleeps after the long trip from Davao. He heaves a loud sigh while sleeping. But that’s pretty normal for them!

What’s also adorable about Labs are their blue eyes. Yes, I said it right. All labs are born with blue eyes but later turn into brown when they become an adult.

Here’s the milk reward for Logan after getting soaked and cleaned up. I know dogs do not love to get wet but for the love of getting ‘em fresh, need to brace myself for the action-packed ‘ligo’ session. Ha-ha And I want to inculcate that he’ll have a reward after every taking a bath.

Seriously bad smell is a no-no for Logan. So an investment for pet cologne, shampoo , soap and powder won’t hurt. The owner is vain so will the pet. Ha-ha

Picture session while the Vet is attending to another dog. Logan never likes camera. He’s never a cam whore. Unlike me. This I need to train him. If possible, lol.

Logan is a heaven-sent gift. He’s captured our hearts and you can’t help but be attached with him. He’s got a lot to show off and his intelligence needs to be maximized. I am happy he’s with me, my number one stress reliever!

How about you? Have you have any pet? If none, adopt one! It’s fun!
