SHI TZU named STITCHIE

we bought a cute little pup at Tiendesita's when we went to Manila last year...

my daughter out of the blue just called him "STITCHIE".... we assumed that it was from the cartoon "Lilo and Stitch" but my daughter said "No, i thought of his name on my own!"... oh well hehe

i remember when i was a kid my father came from manila and he said he had a gift for me... i opened a box full of holes on it (mind you this was about 15 years ago... no "cute" cages yet...)

when i opened the box, a cute white fur ball came out running!!!

when i ran after it and eventually caught it, it was then i realized that my father bought me my very first pet! i was holding a cute girl japanese spitz puppy ...

i thought she was already BIG during that time hehe  ( i was 6 years old then! everything looked big! hehe)

i named her "TWEETY"...  not because of the character Tweety Bird but i named her from Tweetie De Leon when there was still the sitcom "okay ka, fairy ko" of GMA... it was popular then.

remembering her... my first bestfriend is bittersweet...

she was run over by our car while she was sleeping at the garage...

i still can't forget her. my very first pet. that special moment of getting to meet her is truly worth remembering... it brings back memories of my childhood.

now my daughter has her own best friend... a dog that is as both naughty and as sweet as her... she will treasure the memories that she will be able to spend with her and remember everything about him when she gets to my age or even older..

having a pet as a kid is awesome... its like having your own live stuff toy which can interact with you. its something every kid should experience. whether its a dog, a bird, a cat, a chick? hehe its truly amazing having a pet when you are a child... and im sure of it... you'll have a pet that you can't forget.
