Journey with an ex-seminarian as he fulfill his dreams and search his place in the greater scheme of things on the wings of his dreamMy own underdog
My summer of 2008 wouldn’t be the same without playing with my dogs. Aside from tigers, eagles and dolphins which I love in the animal world, dogs are the closest animals to my heart among the domesticated animals. I grew up with several dogs that have lived and died in our family over the years. Heck i can even enumerate their names even when i am asleep. Spending the summer with my dogs are my way of relaxation. I play with them, running around with them like crazy in our yard and teasing them when I get bored in this 2000 sq compound of ours. I am currently taking care of six dogs: Dalmacious, Brandy, Pupa, Scotch, Halle Bury and Mielle. Among the six, Mielle is my favorite. Not because he is a pure breed beagle but because it just happened that he is the first dog that I have taken care of personally like those pets that we see on TV. I cannot describe our relationship (haha) because for me Mielle is my bestfriend. Sometimes nga mas maiintindihan ka pa nya kesa sa mga taong plagi mong nakakasama. I don’t treat him as a dog in some level. I don’t know if you will believe me, but I talk to him as if he’s a real person. And sometimes I am amazed on how he able to understand my commands and requests.
Minsan hahanga ka talaga sa talino nya. When ever he doesn’t want the food I give him, he push away his dish. or if he is thirsty, he goes in front of the water faucet on our garage and sits there with his tongue hanging on his mouth. O pag ayaw naman nya ng tubig at gusto nya ay pagkain, ibinububo nya ang tubig. During the night I set him free because I can’t let him go during the day because there are so many people going in and out of our gate. Mielle is the worst fugitive ever. He always try to wander outside when he sees the gates are open kaya sa araw kinukulong ko sya. Beagles tend to get lost because they use their nose to sniff and smell the ground. And sometimes when they are too preoccupied with their noises, they just find themselves lost. And that’s what i am avoiding. Mielle is too rare here in our village so he’ll be an easy target by dog nappers. During the night when it’s time to sleep. He sleeps on the bench just outside my window parallel to my bed. Weird ano? pero he does that every night. I never taught him to sleep there. I just found him already snoozing when I went outside to breathe some fresh air. And nakakatuwa kay mielle, whenever I sit on a bench, tatalon yan sa tabi ko at dun hihiga at ihihilig ang ulo nya sa binti ko. haha I did not taught him that also. Kaya Mielle is our family’s useless but favorite dog ever, he compensates his laziness by his ability to remove stress.
One time when me and my nephews watched the Transformers movie last year, we saw this trailer of the movie Underdog. When we saw the dog playing the role, we all exclaimed in unison: Si Mielle! everybody stared at us inside the cinema wondering why the heck did we yell. Tingnan nyo kamukhang kamukha nya:
Hollywood’s Underdog
My own underdog
hmmmm slurp… sarap…
look at how he sits haha. Ganyan sya pag naupo, feeling nya sya yung Sphinx sa Egypt.
Suplado!
Ganyan naman sya umupo. Nakasayad yung giant “kwan nya” sa semento haha
Wagging his tail. Kung naging tao si Mielle, eto na siguro ang pinakatamad na tao sa mundo.
Pero pinaka malambing sa lahat…
hehe he’s trying to lick the camera
And as a sign of protest for tying him up, he peed on the terrace haha
Pag ganyan ang hitsura nya at aali-aligid, isa lang ibig sabihin nyan, nakaka amoy yan ng tsibog
kahit kamay mo aamuyin kung ikaw ba ay kumain na
Mielle has a set of “glow in the dark” eyeballs haha
even my friends love him…
My Mielle may not be Hollywood’s Underdog…
But he will always be our family’s Super Dog.

bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
hehe oo, spoiled yan sa amin.
Di ako mahilig sa mga maliit na aso tulad nito, ang gusto ko talaga yung malalaki like St. Bernard, Siberian Husky at German Shepherd, pero mielle is an excemption
how come na nahilig ka sa pusa? di ka ba hinihika? hikain kasi ako dati nung bata pa ako, pinagbawalan ako ng doktor na mag alaga ng pusa kaya ayun nadevelop ang hatred ko sa domestic cats.. tigre at leon pwede pa
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
Mielle says hi to your kids hehe
3 years old na sya. mukha lang puppy kasi maliit
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
haha natatawa nga mga kapitbahay namin pag lumilibot kami ni mielle sa barangay kasi dapat daw mas bagay sa akin dalhin ay yung malalaking aso haha
magkamukha sila kaya lang pagkakaiba ng basset mahaba nguso. di ako mahilig sa toy dogs.. si mielle lang exception ko.
wow memorize, haha pwede mo na ipangalan sa magiging anak mo tol
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
sadya ganyan mata ko sa mga pics lalo na pag gabi. may pagka animal instinct ako eh haha
pareho tayo, mas gusto ko yung mga hunting dogs at yung malalaki pero for the 3rd time, Mielle is an excemption.
dapat kay tifa mga maliliit lang. wag yung malalaki.
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
haha di mo mahihimas mommy kengs ang Koi haha
anyhow mahirap talaga mag-alaga ng aso lalo na at di toilet trained. itong anim na to hindi toilet trained eh kaya Im planning to take a course for dog training in the near future kasi abala talga pag nadumi at naihi kaya pinagawa ko sila ng sariling kennel para dun sa lupa sila umebak
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
tatay ko naman ang nakukunsumi noong una. kaya mga kennel nila malalayo sa bahay kasi nga naiinis angtatay ko sa amoy ng ebak haha
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
hehe natural yan. kaya pag brownout nailaw ang mata ko sa diim
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
mahaba ang dila ni mielle kahihimod dun sa mga pwerta ng babaeng aso namin LOL Minsan natatawa ako, once na magkalapit sila, una nilang inaamoy yung mga ari nung kapwa aso nila haha
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
aba apat na kayong kilala ko na cat lovers.. si rebecca, Si Pusa, Si Cath at ikaw Kuya K. Magtayo kayo dapat ng cat lovers blog group. may nakita ako sa blog catalog na grupo ng cat bloggers, puro pet cats ang mga avatar nila haha. ang saya, iba ibang species ng cats ang avatars nila
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
i remember when you went here with reynz and ambo di ka makakibo nung makita mo aso namin na si dalmacius.
naku dito sa amin ang daming stray dogs kaya nagpabakod din kami kasi langkay langkay ang pumapasok sa bakuran namin na aso tapos inaaway mga aso namin o di kaya binubuntis haha
ang secret lang pag may aso na bumabatok sayo o hinahabol ka ay titigan mo sa mata. once na tinitigan mo na sila sa mata maiintimidate na sila. thn yumuko ka at kunwari kukuha ka ng bato at ipupukol mo sa kanila. tatakbo na yun.
bluepanjeets last blog post..Celtics won over Lakers, 98-88 in Game 1 of the NBA best of seven
wow mahal ang siamese cat diba? swerte mo nakapulot ka malamang nakatakas yun o pinabayaan ng amo.
