With so much enthusiasm, I am proud to announce my WORD of the Year for 2016: SAM
Yes, SAM will be a favorite word of my lips comes 2016. She came to our house brought along by a veterinarian on the night of December 15. After several instructions which I hardly understood, I came to accept SAM in my life. Honestly, I am not really an animal lover but there was something between SAM’s eyebrows which told me to take pity on this little canine. She tricked me with that pitiable look!
She’s barely two months old but after a day, she began showing a quick adjustment to her new surroundings. As a puppy, she is still fed with milk and vitamins. She is not yet allowed to roam outside our house as her vaccine is not yet complete.
2016 will be a nice year for me to look forward to because of SAM’s company. I always believe that pets can really relieve stress. Playing and taking care of them have a therapeutic effect on the health of their masters, too.
It’s almost one week now since Sam came as the newest member of the family. She is already trained to poo (defecate) in our toilet or comfort room. She is not yet allowed to go outside so she has no choice but to go straight to our comfort room whenever she feels the need to do "it". But sad to say, she still pees (urinates) inside the house wherever she thinks she can.
Hoping you’ll give me some tips on how to deal with a dog like SAM. By the way, she is a labrador. I hope I will become a good master for her.

Kuya Robbie.... you are giving me a hard task! Sam is very shy like her master, hehehe! I think I will have to think it over a million times.
Thanks a lot for the good advice. I will remember what you said.
Oh my! I thought you're a cat person, Ate Anele. Sam looks adorable! Labs grow so fast and they are very playful. Always make sure all vaccines are updated especially anti-rabies, pneumo (for lungs), and 5 in 1 booster which includes Leptospira to protect people who mingle and touch her.
Anyway, since you're now a pet owner, you're the next perfect contender to join our video challenge. C'mon, don't be shy! :)
See you around,
Robbie
Thank you very much Gopal. Bless your family always!
Lynne, you made me cry with your labrador's story. I don't want to think about the day when it's time for SAM to leave me. It's really disheartening to think. His picture (oh my, poor Shadow) surely brings sadness to your heart, I know.
Labradors really look pitiable. Sam got vaccinated yesterday. She did not resist or struggle when the needle was push through her skin. Very tamed indeed. It's not so hard to love this dog. Even the one who doesn't like animals will surely become close to this dog.
Thank you so much for the tips, Lynne. Yes, you are right, she is now on the stage where she bites everything she holds. Surely, I'll follow your advice.
OMG.. What a compliment! I felt like melting, haha!
Thank you so much for your nice words, Eva. You are also hypnotized by SAM's pitiable look. She got her complete vaccination today. Her doctor said she might get fever so she was not allowed to take a bath for 5 days. Imagine, 5 days, iwww! She will be smelly then, gosh!
By the way, Sara. I wish one day that Sam and I could pose for a picture like that. You gave me a nice idea!
Bala........wow. So you are tricked by Sam's pitiable look, too! With regards to hygiene, everyday I have to disinfect our floors. It's easy when you have a ready-made map. Please write a blog for your puppy when you got one. I will be looking forward to reading it, okay? Thanks, Bala!
Sara... you are an animal lover. What a nice characteristic you have!
I love to have puppies at home, but hesitate because of hygienic factors...
But now looking at your Sam, I think I have to rethink on my decision...aww...
haha...nice picture, Sara! If your best friends are dogs, they will surely never say a word to you but they can BARK....
Thanks Sara!
Thank you so much, Tawfeeq.
Yes, dogs are far more faithful than men, lol! They are the most loyal creatures in the world. Lucky also are people who find friends with doggy-like characters, aren't they?
I miss your blogs, too, Tawfeeq. I hope you could write one before the year ends or you could write one as your first blog for the new year.
