The Pom Mobile



Pom Pom has been with us for 7 months now. He has grown significantly and so has his attitude. He's very frisky, zipping around the house with his feline brother, Jack. I sometimes forget that he only has 3 working legs. He's really fast!






He gets his strange behavior mostly from emulating his big doggie brother, Barney. One thing's for sure, they both love food.






One thing that I find very problematic about Pomster is that he is still not housebroken. We walk him 3-4 times a day and use positive reinforcement, and even the odd slap on the butt, and still!!!
He's a fast shitter. Sneaks a shit when you turn your back even for just a second. 


Then one day Larry did something fantastic! 


Bucket + Pom = Pom Mobile!




So simple, it works. 


Now first thing in the morning, we put Pom Pom in the bucket so he can't sneak a shit while we get ready for work. 


He quietly stays in the Pom Mobile and holds his pee and shit until Ludy arrives to walk him. 


Holy jumping jellyfish Pomster!

Happy New Year



2010 went by so fast like it was on speed. So many things happened yet I am still where I'm supposed to be - writing this blog. Heehee. 


In 2010...


I learned a long kept secret about my dad. 


We moved to the city. 


My cat Frodo died after a 10 month battle with kidney failure. 


Went to Saigon for a retreat.


We adopted Pom Pom. 


We adopted Jack.


Started building a house in Cebu. 


Sold our flat in Tung Chung. 


Enrolled in a course about design. As you can see I have no photo to prove this. 


Kept teaching and practicing yoga. 


Completed the house in Cebu. 


Went to New York. 


And now it's 2011. 
And I just came back from teaching my first yoga class this year.


I enumerated all of these things down like it was so easy. Like it was a montage. When you look back, life is indeed a montage. You piece memories that are wonderful, hurtful or plain mundane into a file where you can easily pick and dissect life lessons, gossip, happy or sad memories. Life is wonderful if you allow it to be. 


Happy New Year everyone!
Keep living!
