Dog day at Tagaytay

Took the Buff-dog (real name: Buffy; a.k.a. Buffer and "The Annoying Dog") and Kristine to a trip in Tagaytay.

Started out in Tereyaki Boy where Buffy and I shared a Sukiyaki. Buffy was generally well behaved, although she did jump one waiter (on those occasions I am really glad she is a small dog) and later tip over her water bottle to Kristine's consternation. We then went to Picnic Grove where we met up with Leen. Were threated to another nice view of the Taal Volcano. After Picnic Grove, we went to Bag of Beans where Buffy and I shared in the Apple Pie and Braided Bread. Surprisingly, she loved both. Ended day at Josephine's again overlooking the Taal Volcano.

She had a really good day. JRT's are great companions for trips. Even when you know she is feeling tired, if there is more walking to be done, she won't quit on you. Buffy slept like a log, alternately on my and on Kristine's lap, all the way home.

It is a very hot summer!

Serendra

We took Noelle and Buffy at Serendra at the Fort, Taguig City last sunday. It was a warm day but I'm sure the dogs appreciated the walk.

Robin's doggy water bottle came in very handy. I now consider it a must in every dog day bag.

Two-Dog Day

Today we brought Magi and Buffy to Seaside. We had Magi groomed- 400 pesos includes detangling, mat trimming, paw hair trimming, shampoo, conditioner, ear cleaning, nail trimming, blow dry, the works, for a full two hours. Needless to say, the Maguai was pampered silly thanks to Marge and her friendly staff. Buffy on the other hand got her ear professionally cleaned.

After buying some treats for the dogs, we went to Powerstation for dinner. We had dinner at Yasubei Japanese restaurant where the waitresses fussed over adorable little Magi who was running around Powerstation without a leash (apparently, he does not like being leashed. Otherwise he would chew on the leash and would refuse to walk altogether.)

Our day ended at Starbucks where my sister got four stickers for her red card and Buffy got cinnamon roll crumbs from the floor. Back home, it only took a few minutes before the two dogs were dead to the world. But I'm pretty sure they'd be dreaming about this day all night long.

Buffy's Day Out

We took buffy out last saturday to see the dog show at Tiendesitas. Also, we pigged-out on yummy Bonnie's barbecue, bought Robin's favorite Tagaytay mountain coffee ground beans for the coffee maker, got buffy a snazzy new harness, and eavesdropped on the Animal Scene anniversary program.

All in all, Buffy thought it was a pretty fruitful day.

Update on Dog Friendly Establishments

I have updated Tin's list on dog friendly establishments:

1. Baywalk (Roxas Boulevard, MM)
2. Blue wave (Macapagal Boulevard, MM)
3. Puerto Azul Beach resort (Cavite)
4. Gayuma (Katipunan, QC)
5. Tiendesitas (Ortigas, Pasig City)
6. Powerplant Mall, ground floor (Rockwell, Makati City)
7. Eastwood City (Libis, QC)
8. Powerstation Mall (Macapagal Boulevard behind the Shell Station, MM)

Taken Buffer (a.k.a Buffy) there twice and she seems to like it there enough. Manila seems like the most dog friendly spot. You can have breakfast a Powerstation, lunch at Blue Wave and watch the Sunset at Baywalk. All these locations are less than five (5) minutes from each other. I think you can probrably even walk your dog at PICC.
