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.

Mommy Moments- Hyzyd's playing time

Aside from playing by himself , Hyzyd's fave playmates are his dad and his uncle Bjoy-my bro. He's enjoying every minute of it! Last July 4, 2008, it's Hyzyd's first time exploring the toys in TESCO play station! It isn't yet time for him to play in there for it's recommended for 1 year old and above but he's gesturing to his dad that he want to try on! What a fun he had! We bought that green elephant because the first time he saw it and try on it, he just love it. He will not let go of the poor elephant. You'll see he's riding on it while we're shopping. Head on to Mommy Moments to see other kids enjoying their playing time!

Mommy Moments-Why Hyzvhann Hyzydyll?

The name of our son is Hyzvhann Hyzydyll (read as Hezvan Hezedel). Many are wondering how did we get the name, what does it mean and how to read it. 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 ...

Mommy Moments-Rain, Rain Go Away!

It seldom rains here and when it rains Hyzyd doesn't have a chance to witness the rain coz we just stay in our bedroom, play, watch movie and sleep! For the sake of this meme ( LOL!), I prayed for rain to come and I'll let my baby witness the outpouring of the rain...Heaven heard my prayer and it came right after we came from school. We watched the heavy rain on our balcony and the baby enjoyed it. It's not yet time for my baby to play under the rain . Enjoy reading other entries about kiddos desire to let the rain go away coz " little Johnny " wants to play at Mommy Moments !
