I saw this lovely cockatoo at the pet store.  He wasn’t shy, in fact, he seemed very sociable.  I guess he is accustomed to people going in and out of the store . I hope he finds a good home soon.

Remember the guppies we bought last week? I was so surprised when I checked the aquarium and saw tiny little guppies swimming. I told my hubby and son and they were so delighted to see them too. We’re amazed that they multiplied so fast. I guess that means the guppies are happy in their new home. I wish I could take photos of the little ones but my camera just can’t take a decent shot of the tiny babies.

My four year old son, Yohan loves looking at the fish tank filled with guppies and sword tails in school.  We  have a small empty aquarium at home so I was inspired to buy Yohan some guppies and sword tails of his own.  Yohan was very happy about his new pets.

This is a Silver Arowana that I saw at a pet shop in Cartimar.  It is a fresh water fish which is a popular pet in Asia.  It has relatively large scales, a long body and tapered tail. In the wild, an arowana can jump high out of the water to capture its prey (e.g. large insects). It often swims near the surface area of the water waiting for an opportunity to feed.

I dedicate my entry this week to my Dad in honor of Father’s Day. This photo was taken last month while my parents were having a vacation with us. My Dad developed a nice bond with our dog, Bruno. My Dad enjoyed taking Bruno for a walk twice a day around the village. Whenever Bruno would sense my Dad’s presence nearby, he would wag his tail and bark enthusiastically. When my parents left for the States, Bruno lost appetite for a day or two. It showed how much he missed my Dad.

This our pet fish, Nikki. She’s a Flower Horn fish. Nikki is almost five years old. We had her when our son was just a few months old.

Here are some interesting information about Flower Horns.

• They aer considered by the Chinese as an auspicious fish.
• The forehead or “Nuchal Hump” is the main attraction of the Flower Horn. It is a characteristic that is much sought after.
• A big, round and developed head is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, longevity and happiness.

We used to have another Flower Horn with red and pearl scales with Chinese-like character markings but he passed away.

Our family loves pets. We have a dog, birds and fish. We also had turtles before. Having a pet is a big responsibility. Before choosing a particular pet, it is advisable to read about helpful information that can help you choose the ideal pet for your family and lifestyle.

This is Ashley, my BIL’s  cute  rottweiler puppy. It’s fun playing with Ashley.  You could tell she appreciates her lovely surroundings because she stopped to smell the flowers.

Pet supplies are part of our monthly grocery list. We allot money to buy certain pet supplies for our beloved pets. For our pet fish, a Flower Horn, we buy special high protein fish pellets especially formulated for Flower Horns. We also buy bird seeds for our pair of lovebirds. Bulk of the pet supplies we buy is for our pet Labrador Retriever, Bruno. Every month we buy Bruno both dry and canned dog food. We also buy him dog treats, soap and shampoo.
