dog owner...who? me?

Is anything wrong with me? I'm not really into pets. I only have a puppy before I reached 7 but when it died, my love for dogs vanished. A friend offered to give us one of her puppies but I refused gracefully saying I'm allergic to dog's fur. Am I really allergic? That's what I think so because everytime I'm with one room with dogs, I degenerate into a sneezing fit!


Honestly I despise mid-night potty runs, vomit on the rug and hair coating the couch caused by dogs. I don't have any idea of dog grooming too. It really needs sacrifice to raise a happy and well-adjusted dog.


This week, I read an article that discusses that pet ownership in general can lower cholesterol and increase longevity; however, maximum benefits can be obtained only through dog ownership. This fact really struck me deeply. When I look at it this way , cleaning up the rug and going for mid-night potty breaks don’t seem like as much of a sacrifice anymore. In fact, it seems that we humans get just as much or more from canine companions as they give in the first place.

So, when are we going to get a dog? It depends on my health. I need to know first if I'm really allergic to dogs.

By the way, good news for the racing dog lovers, I found a great site for you at http://www.racingdoglovers.com/. Their articles and tips on training dogs and maintaining dogs health is very informative and essential.

Some jokingly commented that maybe I hate the vowels and some named him the consonant baby...he..he..he. The name was given by his grandfather (my father). We told him that it will be an honor for us if he could give the name of their first grandson. Actually, my father is the one who give us our names-from the eldest (it's me) 'till the 14th child (our youngest). We all have two given names like me I'm named after the combination of my parent's name-Benoni and Geneditha. The result is "Genebei" plus their chosen name for me, Faith = Genebei Faith . I noticed that all of us had great and unique names especially our youngest which is named Doxagennes Keilah . Each of our names has corresponding meanings. Hyzvhann is a modified name of the hebrew vocabulary Heshvan (Cheshvan). Heshvan (Cheshvan) or Mar Cheshvan ...

Hyzyd and the Berenstains' Bears

Hyzyd got new favorites week after week. Most of his favorites involves books. He's not really into toys and movies but books! This week he's into a new book titled "The Berenstain Bears and the Big Red Kite". Guess who's his favorite reader? His dad! He won't let me read it to him. Poor mommy!:( On the other, I'm quite relieved because Hyzyd is giving his dad a hard task...he..he...He won't let his dad go over to other pages. He wanted his dad to create stories after stories out from this illustration for as long as 30 minutes! LOL! I also enjoy the stories made up by his dad- stories that came from "out-of-nowhere". can you help us make more more stories out from this illustration? It seems that we're running out of ideas...LOL! an entry for
