Happy Birthday, Dongkay!

I am the kind of person that kept in mind the birthdays and special days of my family, friends and relatives. I don't miss the day without greeting them. When I was still in the Philippines, I used to celebrate every 22nd of June, because it is the day that we (my best friend, Ann & I) brought home a dog. We gave him a name of "Douglas", but we call him "Dodong" for his nickname, that later on turned into "Dongkay" as a way of endearment. Although June 22nd was not his birthday, but we just consider it his birthday since then. I gave importance on birthdays to all of our dogs by giving them special treatments.

All these are our dogs. I will name them from left to right: Inday, Kulot, Dongkay and Dogyot. Strange names, huh? We love all of them fairly and they love us back, too. I miss these "little guys" very much. They have been a part of my time, attention and financial, too. Each of them have unique traits that made them different from the others. They gave us happiness and unconditional love. I just hope that by the time that I can have the chance to go back to the Philippines, they will still recognize and love me as they did before.
