Oh Our Dogs!!!

I have chosen to write about our two dogs Taffy and Sasuke. Sasuke died three years ago. It was hard for our family to accept that she passed away so soon. She's my sister's pet. Taffy is an askal dog while Sasuke was a boomer, mixed breed dog. They are the guardian and best bud of our family. They are clever and cheeky girls. We always look forward to getting up everyday to be greeted by them. They are very sweet and loving, they implore us to rub their ears and scratch their butt. They would go around my leg and wiggle their tail. When they are happy, they wag their tail side to side. When they have done something wrong and you scold them they wag their tail up and down a little bit..lol.. 

Taffy loves to eat rice even without a dish. I would always bring her chicken/cow bones once I got extra penny from my allowance. Apparently, she has an allergy to one kind of crustaceans, the shrimp. One time my mom fed her with boiled shrimp, an hour after she ate it she got hives and nasal congestion. It took her 3 days to be relieved from the allergic reactions. Likewise, sasuke had an allergy with shrimps and prawns.

Taffy loves chasing cats and birds while sasuke wants to sleep often. I would say Taffy is the mind reader. She is always one step ahead of me. Sometimes I thought she has a human mind. Both of them are amazingly good and fast learner. However, Taffy can frustrate us to no end by running off track. She jumps, leaps, spins, and flings whatever play thing she can find. She spends most of the day outside staring at the trees and running after with "carlisle", our three year old kitten.  

They are part of our family and all they want out of their lives is to keep everyone safe. I could never explain how much they mean to us, but I’m sure many of you feel the same way we do. Anyway, we do have our new puppy he's just one month old. I will be featuring him soon.
