My Hypo Attack :-(

Folks, I want to share to you a rough experience I had. Last night when Jeffrey and I had an argument (or "asaran") after that straining fight we went down to have our dinner but I felt a little dizzy...so there I was dazed, a little bit stiff and my tongue was sticking out . Manang B. was the first to saw me and she really panicked so she alarmed K, who also panicked but had really good sense that it was indeed a hypoglycemia attack! after she found me dazed, stiff and tongue sticking out K immediately put NUTRI-CAL in my gums and tongue and little sips of water after a few minutes I got back to walking and was up and about. Good thing we had NUTRI-CAL in hand. It's also good to use Karo syrup too (but we don't have it yet, we're gonna buy though! haha).

What is HYPOGLYCEMIA? How would I know if my dog is experiencing it and how to treat it?
Article from BI-MAR pomeranians USA http://bi-mar.com/hypoglycemia.htm

Stuff to BUY and always keep in handy
-NUTRI-CAL (we got the tomylyn brand)
-Karo Syrup
-Pedialyte or Hydrite powder

Anyways, I just like to thank all my well wishers out there! you know who you are :-)
hopefully this won't happen to me again. Hehe. Night, Folks

Why not ADULT?

Well, for the past few months Ive been browsing the internet and I have been noticing that most people would love to get a puppy(a baby dog). I am really confused by their reasons on why they don't like in getting an adult dog or would re-consider getting an adult dog instead of a puppy.

1st reason: The dog didn't grow up with our family & would probably not have the same bonding with us as compared with a puppy that grew up with us.

--WRONG! We, pomeranians are very flexible dogs, once you show us how much love and adoration you give us we are yours forever REGARDLESS of age. I went home with my human at 7 months and yet I adjusted completely within a week! My half brother Chico(+) went home with K, at 1 year and I was told at only one day they were already inseparable and Chico adjusted very well. Jeffrey & Pinky went home with K at 1 year and they did adjust and bonded with the family at just a week.

2nd reason: The dog would still be yearning for his old owner/family.

--WRONG! As I said, we love anyone who would shower us with the same love and care. My friend Kobe now Rockee, went home to his new owner Ninang Liza when he was 2. He never yearned for his old family back, because Liz shown him love & adoration.

3rd reason: We wouldn't know the health history of the dog, he may have hidden illness

--WRONG! well, it depends where you get your dog, who the breeder is. The breeder must be trustworthy & would be willing to tell you any information about the dog and his whole history. The dog's breeder is important, they must be willing to share stories and information about their furkids. If you smell something fishy and are not comfortable with the breeder please don't get your forever companion from them.


I hope more people are willing to open themselves in getting adult dogs, not because they want them bred faster but because they want to consider a loving pet into their lives. Adult dogs are more health-stable and would be less risk in getting distemper, parvo virus or any disease in the same nature. And would be less likely to have hypoglycemia attacks. Adult dogs have more stable temperament than young puppies and even though you can not "mold" them to what you want, you can choose a dog with the temperament that suits you. And of course "less heartbreaks" in terms of physical appearance because in adult dogs, "what you see is what you get" :-)


so this is me hoping you consider a loving adult dog to your family.

Good advice :)

Lately when I'm reading my e-mails (I share my e-mail account with my human, K)I've been getting some cool forwarded e-mails and I have stumbled upon this forwarded e-mail with very good advice, so let me share it with you & hope we may learn something from it

-Bradley :-)

An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19 Get organized so everything has its place. 20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people. 25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus .'
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can). 31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

13. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

14. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
