Dog show at Tiendesitas

Sunday Jan 21, 2007

Cats have always been my favorite animals in the whole world. I’ve never been much of a dog lover in the sense that I’d want to own one and take care and be responsible for it. Lately, however, my sister and I have been checking out dog breeds because my parents want to get a tough-looking dog to keep thieves away when we move houses. We finally decided on getting a Boxer pup sometime late February. It’s not the cutest dog in the world, really but I don’t know…the idea of getting a Boxer just grew onto me and now I can’t wait til we take him home. :D

Today my parents, sister, and I checked out a dog show at Tiendesitas. Marielle and I went nuts; we were squeeing all over the place and taking all these pictures because the dogs were so goddamn cute! I want a Husky so bad but they instinctively attack anything that’s smaller than them, which means they’ll definitely maul our cats. :( A Samoyed would be awesome as well; I had a really hard time leaving the cage because it kept looking at me with those beady, soulful eyes. It looks nowhere near like a guard dog though and my dad doesn’t like long-haired dogs, so it’s out of the question. :P

A slightly annoying thing happened during the dog show though. My sister and I stumbled upon the cage of the Akita first, and as we reached out to pet it, its (Filipino) owner pretty much snarled at us and said we couldn’t touch the dog. Later we swung by the Akita’s cage again and guess what we saw? A Caucasian woman petting the dog while its owner looked with approval. I wanted to kick the guy in the nuts. Racist against your own people much?

I have more pictures of the dog show at my Multiply account, as well as pictures of some items from the Tiendesitas Antique Village. It’s funny, I’ve never been big on (normal) jewelry but I spend so much time drooling over antique ones when I get the chance. I think I’ll buy myself a really ornate ring or pendant one of these days.

EDIT: Pictures from the band photoshoot (see the teaser) are up here. :D
