Road trip Geography with Baby Dogs
Knowing we had no experience in traveling overland from
Manila to Davao, we only had our trusty Waze, Google Maps and our faith. We
knew if God didn’t let the Israelites down, he wouldn’t let us. Suffice to say
that our forty days into the desert turned out to a four and half-day travel
into the tropics, mountain ranges and oversea. It was a lesson in geography
we will never forget.
We passed Leyte, where McArthur landed to get back to the
Philippines at the end of World War II. The market still stands today. Late at
night, we reached the port of San Ricardo in Southern Leyte. By the Grace of
God, we were able to secure a RORO ride within the hour and departed at
midnight to reach the other side. The RORO ride was only an hour but we were so
tired. When we reached Surigao City we looked for a hotel that would accept us
plus our dogs. We fell asleep almost immediately. In the morning, there was a
simple breakfast buffet of Filipino favorites plus pancakes and toasts. We
decided to take our time and leave at nine in the morning to give us time to stretch
our legs and relax. By late afternoon, we reached Agusan and dropped off our
driver’s family. He would drive us to Davao and take a bus back to Agusan.
From Valencia, we were stuck for four hours before we
decided to find an alternate road. It was longer and closer to Marawi (which
kinda spooked the driver). After
Valencia, we went to Pangantucan, Kitaotao, Maramag, Quezon, Arakan, Gumalang, Calinan
and finally Davao. Each town has its own checkpoints and we have traversed more
towns than mentioned.
Two in the morning, we arrived in Davao. Our road trip was
at an end and quarantine had begun. I am grateful to have taken this trip and
lost for words at the majesty of nature that was still untouched.

The Madams of Vices, A Victorian Themed Outfit
Last July 27, 2019, The Trading Post at One BGC held their first pet event called Bark at One. In it, the event featured a mini Pet Bazaar, Talks on Pet Nutrition, a mini show by Shopawhowlique and a Pet Fashion Competition.
The Pet Fashion Competition featured a Victorian Theme. This could be interretted any way. Chichi and I have our little theme going on.
The Victorian Era spanned from 18th to 19th Century. In this age, many things have ocured and it occured all across the globe. How can Chichi and I chose? The Victorian Age is so vast! So broad! But so chic!
Chichi and I decided to wear this contrasting number. She is wearing a gown of red, white and black which had a prevailing cards print. Roses and lace accented the gown. The designer (me) wore a black dress with a prominent pentagram on the chest. Her hair is red and she had a matching mini top hat to match Chichi's. To top the whole look, a white feathered fan hid or revealed little Chichi.
This double ensemble represented the vices of the Victorian Age. Black Magic Mysticism, Gambling and Ladies of the Night were rampant during this age.
To our surprise, we won second place!
Here we have the winenrs of the Victorian Fashion Compatition:3rd Place: KC Jaime and her Pomeranian wore a Amarican Southern Belle ensemble.
2nd Place: Maita and Chichi wearing Victorian Vices ensemble.
1st Place: Jerwin Sacdal and his Pomeranian wearing a Steampunk-inspired ensemble.
Chichi and I would like to thank everyone who came to support us during the event!

Bark at One, The Trading Post's First Dog Event
Last July 27, 2019, The Trading Post held its first Pet Event entitle Bark at One. In tis event, it featured talks on Pet Health, a mini Pet Bazaar, a mini show by Shopawhowlique and a Victorian Fashion Show.
The mini Pet Bazaar featured products that are locally made and, of course, organic. Here are some of the featured products.
There were also itmes for the fashionable pooches like Aiza Cervo's Pet Couture and Bow House Pet Beds.
The mini Pet Bazaar was unique and well-received. We can't help but wait for it to come back next month.
Chichi and I were very excited for this unique event!
We were dressed for the occasion and met new friends during the event.
In the afternoon, Shopawhowlique by A&L held a mini fashion show showcasing their unique crowns. Each of the crowns take inspiration from a mythical being and adorned by real Swarovski crystals.
After the mini fashion show was the fashion competition. After payin a minimal fee of Php100, you had a pet pass to come in and participate. There were around 20 contestants in total.
Here is the writer and Baby Moon Pet Ambassador Chichi strutting the runway.
The winners of the fashion show received sponsored goodies and a trophy. Of course, they also get the fame for winning the first Bark at One Event.
The next day, there was a Pet Buffet and Mass which Chichi and I were unable to join.
All in all, we look forward to the next event at The Trading Post at One BGC.

Happy Dog: Mini Africa


Being a Pet Parent is like a journey. As this tiny blue planet spins, we love, bring up and watch out for the well-being of our pet pooches. We recently came across Happy Dog, a pet food for your picky eaters.
The marketing manager (Sorry, I misplaced your card and forgot your name!) gave Chichi and I two packs of Mini Africa flavor. The main component of this line are Ostrich meat and Potatoes. It is grain free and made in Germany.
The best part if you purchashed this pet food is that the Happy Dog company will donate 2% of its profits to SOS Children's Villages and the "Schools in Africa" project. They already collected 1Million Euros and are hoping to create more classrooms.
Now, we don't know if the Ostrich really came from Africa but don't panick. Ostriches are not endangered. There are farms who raise ostriches for meat. If you have more questions, please see their website here.
Here is the bag and packaging of the mini. It is 300grams and lasts 3 Chihuahus for a week. So far, there is no complein from the little picky eaters. There were also no allergic reactions.
The price of this small pack is between Php175 to Php225 depending on where you buy them. There are cheaper brands out there for the size but it is on the low size for an imported grain-free brand.
