my tail...

yes i have a tail...it was not docked, so what?

nobody i know or came across with knows who set the standard of having mini pinschers' tails docked (you may inform me if you know). it just makes me growl everytime someone (and mind you, it happens all the time) would tell my human, "masmaganda yan kung pinaputulan mo ng buntot!" ouch! i do understand their point because it's the norm..minpins have docked tails. but my guardians don't deserve those weird looks as if saying they are negligent and oblivious dog owners! you see, they got me when i was 3 months old...they didn't know anything about my breed then, when they brought me to the Vet for checkup...the vet insinuated that my ears should be cropped and my tail should be docked. Imagine the scenario...my guardians were worried because i was coughing a bit that time, the minute they walked in the clinic, they told the problem to the Vet...but instead of giving them first the remedy to my cough..the vet urged them to let me undergo these surgeries (cropping&docking)! my guardian, Ate Sam, researched on the internet and learned that tail-docking should be done within the week after the minpin was born, and of course, it would be difficult for a 3-month old minpin because its tail has bones already. so to make the long story short, my tail was not docked by choice! and we're proud of it! my guardians love it when my tail is wagging heartily everytime i'm excited, sometimes my waggling tail complements my sparkling and "paawa" eyes if i wanted to get away with something (proven! that really works!)

tell you what, i believe that this standard is just for aesthetic reasons...parang sa tao, standard or ideal vital stats for women 36-24-36, dapat rebonded ang hair, matangos ang ilong, etc. etc. sana pwede ko rin sabihin sa mga tao na yun na "masmaganda ka sana kung magpa-lipo ka!" ahehehehe. peace!

treats or treats

we went to another halloween event at Eastwood last Oct. 30 (saturday), i went there with my boyfriend, Bruno who was in a Skeleton costume. but unfortunately, it rained and the costume contest was cancelled. in consolation, they just gave away lots of freebies which Im now munching. hehehe...

my Ate Sam's been rewarding and praising me for the past week because she said im now growing matured...i bark less often now. and im proud of it! They're always telling me that maybe it's because im now an adolescent...so im not that stubborn anymore. *smile*
