Animal Survival During A Calamity

Tropical Storm Sendong [International Name: Washi] 

Brought Despair on Animals and Humans Alike

When calamity strikes, human intuition is to keep themselves secured and shielded at all times, animals in  captivity or house pets frequently leaves behind only to be rescued late or not at all. But for real animal lovers, especially on emergency situation, a compassionate owner never runs from his obligation and responsibility.

When Tropical Storm Sendong Passed By

On Thursday of December 16, 2011 Tropical Storm Sendong [Washi] hit the Island of Mindanao, Philippines. The storm brought 10 hours of torrential rains that triggered disastrous flash flooding. The major ports of Cagayan De Oro and Iligan experienced the worst hit, with more than 135,000 persons affected: 976 fatalities, 1603 were injured and 46 listed as missing. More than 49,441 families are homeless as of December 21, 2011 5:00 a.m.

Total loss of livelihood including animals has not been established, communities and organization nationwide works hand in hand for various relief operation for evacuees of the affected area. I pity the dogs who are left abandoned, they have lives and feelings too. We do aspire people to realize, when expecting for something as worst as this calamity, preparedness and presence of mind is the most indispensable part we could act upon.

Poop Bags on Board Dispenser

Bags on Board Black Waste Pick-Up Dispenser With Refill Bags
PhP270 [Approx. $6]

Dog owners actively and frequently walk their dogs around the park, and now an increasing number of dog owners bring along their companions in the malls, although some  malls are still strict and do not allow any other forms of pets inside their malls for some safety reasons. 

To those places where dogs are free to roam around, there are certain poop or dog waste corners allocated for their waste management. Although more often than that, plastic or paper waste bags always ran out. True-blue dog owners always keep in handy their own waste bags and dispose it on proper areas. 

I stumble upon this bag on board black waste pick-up dispenser with refill bags that you can bring along anywhere. It includes a refill roll of 30 pieces strong, leak-proof bags on a bone-shaped bag dispenser that releases one bag at a time.

Remember, dog owners should clean up their dog's walk in the park left over litter.  The sturdy design of the dispenser can be attached to any leash so you will always have the waste bags with you wherever you go. By practicing dog poop clean-up, dog owner's help on stopping over poop-ulation! If not dispose off properly, the bacteria found i pet waste can pose a health risk to people and pets.

Pet Water Feeder

Doggie Flip Top Water Bottle

Water bottles are the best way to get your small animal pet the water they need. Remember to check your pet's water supply and refill daily, and be sure to thoroughly clean and rinse the bottle weekly.

My dogs were not comfortable using the flip top water bottle, its because we weren't able to introduce to them the water feeder ahead of time, they rely on their water bowls, hard headed dogs :). Flip top water bottle is more hygienic because the water is not expose to dirt and germs. Do considering using safe plastic PET bottles with basic safe codes #2, #4, and #5. 

Barf! barf! :)

Recca - a Mini Pinscher

 Moochy & Recca

Last year, we adopted a Mini Pinscher pup [Zwergpinscher] from my sister/brother. They have successfully bred a couple of mini pins already. Lucky enough, I've got a share of this wonderful friend, I named her Recca. Born March 22, 2010. I think she's a third from brood of four [2 homme, 2 femme]. We got her name from my deceased maternal grandpa "Ricardo", Recca, the animated version. They share the same birthdate, that's the best factor I could connect between my granny and puppy Recca.

And 3 years ago, Moochy, our smooth-coated Dachshund, was given by a friend. We were supposed to name her Witherspoon, kinda lurve that name. Heck, it's obviously too long for a doggylicious name, maybe next time. It is said that a dog's name should be at least 2-syllable, it's how they connect with humans. The way we speak to them must be in a certain way, if you're thinking of training your dog specifically. Anyway, Moochy & Recca share the same color of black with tan. Interesting to note is that the original Miniature Pinscher actually had more variance as being a cross between a smooth coated Dachshund and a Miniature Greyhound (known today as the Italian Greyhound, led to some carrying the Dachshund legs while others carried the Italian Greyhound leg creating some short and some tall. After many years of German breeding an average was maintained. Though today's standard is smaller than the original.

It's been a year since this photo shoot, more updates soon. Share your passion with your dogs, we could feature them here. 

Barf! barf!
