Rainy Day

Heavy downpour yesterday left the dogs in the kennel all wet.

PCCI Back to Normal

PCCI can process registration papers again. Yehey!

Maguai's Hat

We gave Maggie a bath, put a hat on him and let him loose around the house. After a few minutes of walking around, he found a corner and stayed there to rest. The ultimate lapdog.

A Lawsuit and A Court Order

Here's some background on why dog registration in the Philippines was temporarily stopped (PCCI Online Forum):

FOR INFORMATION OF ALL PCCI MEMBERS BOTH REGULAR AND ASSOCIATES:

Civil Case No. MC06 -2962, filed in Mandaluyong City

1. PLARIDEL Products & Services, Inc., has filed a suit against the PCCI asking for damages of Php4,250,000.00 plus cost of suit for their claim that PCCI did not impose the pre-registration requirement of microchipping as per a MOA signed by Plaridel and PCCI.

2. PLARIDEL likewise filed a TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER (TRO) to order PCCI to cease and desist from registering pure-bred dogs that are not properly identified by microchipping. Our lawyers, the Abejo and Partners Law Office, are now fighting to stop the courts' issuance of a TRO.
