Man's best friend. Our bestfriend. Major, a pure Rottweiler was only 4 months old when we got him. He has been with us for years and he is practically part of the family.
When he turned 6 months, we got him a trainer for basic obedience. Having a big dog is not easy. A dog as heavy as Major should be well trained, otherwise, he can easily drag you around even if you have him on a leash. His basic obedience training included following the common commands "Come", "No", "Sit", "Up".
His simple pleasures, Optima dogfood and Fita treats!
Major eats once a day, every morning. We hold his plate up to him every time because that's the way he wants it. Ain't he a spoiled one!
Now at 6 years old, Major is great buddy. He plays with us and takes walks with us. He is always delighted to see us come home from work everyday. He diligently guards us in our sleep every single night.
Though we sometimes get too busy with work and spend less time with him, he never complains. His loyalty remains unfaltering, his love unwavering.
Without a doubt, a dog is a man's bestfriend.
Labs ko rin sya sister! Pag nagbakasyon kami sa Pinas, may pasalubong din sya. Pwamis...
ReplyDeletenakakatuwa naman si major. you mean to say, kapag hindi itinaas ang bowl nya, di sya talaga kakain? walastik! hahaha.. kaaliw!
ReplyDeletenaku, kiwipinay, inispoil ni fafa si major! pag iniwan mo ang plate nya sa floor, he will wait for you to come back. hehehe.. buti na din daw yun sabi ni Fafa para hindi kumain from strangers. hahaha...
ReplyDeletekiwipinay, ang cute naman ng avatar mo! huggable puppy! :-)

ReplyDeletesis p!nkroma, thanks. iba talaga pag may pet diba. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome pooch!
ReplyDeleteI fed my cocker spaniel mainly Eukananuba and he lasted 17 years, which surprised even his vet. Eukanuba even sent him some freebies for being a loyal customer when I wrote them about him. But eventually, he got too old and died.
17 years?! whoa! our oldest dog, turvy, is now 14 years old...
ReplyDeletesarap may doggie ano, twinnie?
ReplyDeletenow that our baby is (almost) a lady (12 y/o), we're "dog-sitting" a 4 year old female shih-tzu and she's the first one to greet me every morning when i go down the stairs and the first one to greet me (again) whenever i come home. so loyal. so sweet
senorE , 17 years??? grabe, that is like 119 years old in human years! that is great! your pet must have been showered with lotsa love kaya tumagal ng ganon...
ReplyDeletesis straw , pag sinasalubong tayo, diba they sure brighten up our day!!!
sis p!nkroma,, 14 yrs old pala oldest doggiedogdog mo... hanep din a.
great post kay Major niyo! hope walang tainted dogfood kayo diyan(Optima? safe ba diyan?). sige, pag-uwi namin may pasalubong din kami para kay Major. keep blogging!
ReplyDeletehey joe! nice of you to drop by! yea, ok naman ang Optima i think. it is not a local brand actually. one sack a month si major. not bad. ang Optima nya is the less protein variety na. for older dogs daw.
ReplyDeleteo sige, promise yan ha, pasalubong. kahit wala na ako, naks! basta si major meron, hehehe... keep in touch! ps. ok yung Oldies music mo sa blog mo a. neat!
wow! anlaki nya! oh my..
ReplyDeletepag lumaki din ang doggie ko panu na... 7 months palang anlaki na daw.. di korin alam ang breed nya..

ReplyDeletemimi , anong color ng dog mo? if malaki sha at a young age, malamang big dog breed yan. describe mo sis. may picture ka? Major's breed is the one used sa Omen, the movie. pero si Major ko, mala-angel. :-)
ReplyDeletejenny , si fafa ang may gusto ng malaking dog. good thing Major has a good temper. if not, baka ni hindi ako makalapit sa takot, hehehe...
