Dog Day Afternoon

We went to Bonifacio High Street located at the Bonifacio Global City one fine Sunday afternoon in April.  There, we met up for coffee at Figaro with our cousins, the Bondocs.

It was a perfect day for a stroll.  With just the right amount and balance of sun, clouds, and wind.  Immediately upon arriving there, and to Maia's delight, we saw dogs sprawling the complex's vast gardens and open spaces.  Some pet owners brought their one or two pets along for a stroll. While some, you can tell, were breeders and were there to showcase their toy dogs, retrievers, terriers, etc.  Perhaps, hoping to make a sale? :)

Anyway, getting to spend the afternoon outdoors and seeing dogs of different sizes, color, and shapes was enough to fill Maia's day with joy...and her mouth with a permanent smile all throughout (and up to the time we arrived home)!  :D

Below are some photos from that sunny-but-partly-cloudy day.  Do enjoy browsing them.  And, as always...thank you and Godspeed!

Must Love Pugs

My Maia is a pet lover.  Cats, bunny rabbits, fish, all kinds of pets.  But she loves dogs more, big and small.  But the one breed she loves most of all is the pug!

It all started when her cousin Pixie sent her a book by Dan Yaccarino entitled "Unlovable", about a pug named Alfred, who has very low self-esteem because other pets around him always told him that he had unlovable features.  But it all changed when he met Rex, another pug, who accepted him as he was.  The book teaches about accepting your own uniqueness, appreciating yourself, and finding friends who will appreciate you.  Since this book arrived, Maia has been reading it over and over.  She especially loves that part where Rex came along and he and Alfred were inseparable and like two peas in a pod.
