I don't think I've already blogged about them here, but my family actually takes care of rescue cats. They were strays that sought solace in our old house in Valenzuela, and then when we moved to our new house in Malabon, my family brought the cats with them and had them vaccinated and spayed/ neutered. Sharing here some that I have photos of, because there should be no shortage of cuteness in the world. ♡

Pet protections come and go. The bad news: parasites are always on the move. The good news: you can stop them from coming back with the 12-week protection from the pioneer in longer protection. Keep your feline friends safe from fleas, ticks, mites, and worms with Bravecto® Plus.
What is Bravecto® Plus?
Bravecto® Plus is the game-changing solution in longer-lasting parasite prevention for cats. Unlike others that fade in just a few weeks, Bravecto® Plus provides 12 weeks of continuous defense against fleas, ticks, mites, and worms—three times longer than other monthly options.
Why Bravecto® Plus is here to stay.
Other brands may promise relief, but all too often, they require monthly reapplications—leaving gaps in protection and putting cats at risk. With Bravecto® Plus, you no longer need to worry about missed doses or any gaps. It is formulated with fluralaner and moxidectin that fight against internal and external parasites providing 12 weeks of protection. Every single dose offers longer duration of efficacy which keeps parasites from multiplying in the environment in one topical solution.
A single dosage means:
-12 weeks of protection against fleas, ticks, mites, and worms
-Easy, convenient spot-on application that dries quickly
-Less frequent doses, less stress for your feline friends
-Suitable for cats aged 9 weeks or older; weighing 1.2kg or more
The time is now. Parasites pose serious health risks all the time — a great inconvenience to furbabies and furparents like you. That’s why choosing Bravecto® Plus means choosing unmatched protection—longer-lasting and pet-approved so you can focus on playtime, not downtime.
Time is of the essence. So, why settle for protection that does not last long? With Bravecto® Plus, pet protection is not here today and gone next month — it lasts even longer.
Now available in any vet clinics and pet supply stores with veterinary services. Ask your vet about Bravecto® Plus today! To learn more, visit www.bravecto.ph.
Words are not enough to describe how much Lucy has changed my and my husband's lives. J's family has always had dogs but I personally didn't know how much impact a dog can have until I got one. Every waking moment I reach out for her, every time I am out of the house I miss her, and every night before I go to sleep I sniff her head and give her lots of good night kisses. My and my husband's relationship improved even more ever since we got her.
If only I can shield her from any harm or illness I would. Sometimes I am scared to walk her outside because ticks and fleas are on the go 24/7. They don’t rest and they certainly don’t wait around for you to do the first move. These parasites hide in the grass, lurk on the ground, and wait for the perfect moment to latch from outdoors to indoors. But the same time I don't want to box her inside the apartment all the time. She deserves to be walked and play outside like other dogs.
When I learned about Bravecto® 365, my interest was piqued. If parasites don’t take breaks, why should Lucy's protection? With Bravecto® 365, you can stop the hassle of monthly doses and go with the ONE FULL YEAR worry-free protection.
From the trusted Bravecto®, the pioneer in longer pet protection, Bravecto® 365 lasts ONE FULL YEAR — keeping your dog safe 12 times longer unlike other protections that require monthly administration.
As the first and only ectoparasiticide with the longest duration of protection, less hassle and less stress for you and your furbabies!
All it takes is one single dosage. Bravecto® 365 (Fluralaner) comes in an injectable suspension that prevents ticks and fleas on dogs six months and older. Uniquely formulated with slowly dissolving crystals, expect efficacy that is continuous and longer-lasting.
What a single dose of Bravecto® 365 means for your furbabies:
-Non-stop protection against ticks, and fleas for ONE FULL YEAR
-Unique formulation for continuous efficacy in just one dose
-Less hassle, more playtime with your furbabies
With Bravecto®, I don’t have to set reminders or worry about missing a dose. Lucy can stay protected around the clock, every day, for one full year.
Launched last February 2025, Bravecto® 365 is now available in vet clinics nationwide. Visit this directory to know where to get 365 protection for your furbaby.

Our prapso shih tzu Lucy turned six months old yesterday, and we celebrated at Presko Coffee with J's siblings and their dogs, and yummy food and pup cups!
Presko Coffee is our go to-café when we feel like going out without venturing too far away, and we just really prefer it there because aside from their delicious food they also give our baby her own treat. :)

Major life update: we got a dog!
My dog. Our dog. Five days in and I still can't believe it.
Friends, meet Lucy. She's a shih tzu and she's the sweetest little puppy.
Here's the story of how she came to be a part of our little family.
A month ago, J's uncle offered us a doxiepoo (cross between a dachshund and a poodle, v cute). I didn't really think of myself as a dog person as the only pets I experienced taking care of are a martinez bird and fishes in a fish tank, and if anything I was looking to adopt a cat. But the doxiepoos captured our heart and we chose a black-colored puppy with a white mark on her forehead. Since they were only two weeks old at the time, we were told we could get her by May or June.
We looked forward to it, and I even started adding to my online shopping cart cute little dresses and collars I wanted to make her wear. We even named her Vienna. Vienna = sausage = because she was a sausage dog.
Unfortunately, she died. :( We were heartbroken but after a couple of days of thinking about it, chose another puppy from the litter. This time, it was a black-colored boy puppy with white markings on his belly and paw. I scrapped the dresses in my online shopping cart and chose stuff for a boy puppy instead. We named him Cole, and we were very excited because we were told we could already get him over the weekend. Cole = coal = because of his black fur.
Sadly, whatever afflicted Vienna must have affected the rest of the litter because they also didn't make it. They passed away on Tuesday morning. I was DEVASTATED. I was too sad when J's uncle messaged me about the bad news that I had to skip the rest of the work day. Thank God for considerate bosses and workmates that I was given the chance to grieve and let myself be sad.
However, I was dead-set on getting a puppy so I looked around Facebook Groups offering puppies for adoption for free. I was actually talking to another fur parent already about adopting one of her puppies, until Kookee (J's brother Jecco's girlfriend) messaged me about a surprise.
We picked her up on Wednesday after work. ♡

| We got her a really nice bed but she prefers sleeping on the floor because it's been so hot and humid lately. |
No worries though because J boought her her personal electric fan and an air conditioner yesterday. Wow! Last night was the first night she slept on her bed. :")

| Out and about to get a package downstairs The harness and carrier came from Sarah, who sent a lot of stuff over! She even sent a bottle of Beachborn Beachdog Pawnitizer. Thank you, Ninang Sarah! |
We spent the long weekend just acquainting ourselves with her here at home, As per the vet's recommendation, her first vet visit will be on Wednesday. They said puppies need to adjust in their new home for at least a week as vet visits can be quite stressful for them. I'm looking forward to having her vaccinated so we can already take her out and meet other fur babies!
So there! I never imagined I'd be a first time fur parent at 37, but here we are, and it's been nothing but joyful. :) My favorite part is when I fix up her meals and she gets too excited that she wags her tail, and whenever J or I or both of us play with her and she wags her tail. Basically I love when she shows us she's happy by wagging her tail. :")
I also didn't think I'd be the kind of person that will open social media account for her dog, but here we are. She's on Instagram and TikTok, please follow her if you'd be so inclined. I am amazed at how much more reactions my Instagram Stories about her get as compared to my regular IG Stories HAHA.
Thank you for loving Lucy. ♡
