Farewell Maggie
I was so heartbroken when my friend called me last Saturday to deliver the news. I couldn't believe it when she says that our precious Maggie is now gone. I can feel the grief on my best friends voice as she tells me the whole story. Nobody ever though that that terrible thing will happen. Friday morning she is still joyful, actively playing with her mommy and their other puppies. But when evening came, she suddenly felt so weak and not moving at all. They rushed her to the animal hospital. The vet did all they can but they couldn't point out an exact diagnosis because it all happened so fast. Around 1:30 am Saturday morning, Maggie was gone.
We couldn't believe it. Maggie is always a jolly and active dog. They are looking on all the possible causes of her death. Maybe it is because of some worms. Even though her vaccines are all complete, it is still possible that she can be infected. Some says that maybe it is heatstroke because of too much heat here, but we still have no idea.
My friend is planning to get another Shar Pei but of course nothing could ever replace Maggie into our hearts. She was about to turn 1 yr old this October. Her mommy brought her a very cute dress and is planning to gave her a party. But all of the plans for her suddenly shatters. We love her so much and we will gonna miss her very badly.
To all who have loved out precious Maggie, we thank you for all the care and love that you have shown her.
Farewell Maggie. We will never forget you. Read more...

Allergy Recovery
It's good to know that Maggie, our precious Shar Pei, finally recovered from her allergies. Maggie got stressed out when typhoon Frank hit our place two months ago, the reason that we don't have electricity for almost two weeks. Maggie couldn't stand the heat. My friend brought her to the veterinarian for her medication. She is also advised to take some vitamin E for quicker recovery.
There are many reasons why your pet develops an allergy. It can be with the food that they eat or some chemicals or detergents that we use on them. They can also get allergies when they stressed specially among Shar Pei's that has a very strong behavior. Physically, Shar Pei's has very sensitive paws and skin texture thats why they need extra care. Proper bathing once a week or twice a week is recommended. Aside from bathing, wiping the dog with wet towel everyday can help too. The place where your dog stays also matters. Clean the area specially the carpets, rugs, curtain etc. if your dog usually stays there. Veterinary assistance is the next thing that you should do.
Allergies on dogs, specially on Shar Pei usually lasts for weeks. Proper routine pet care however can help your pets recover quickly.

Maggie's Favorite Past Time
Five months old Maggie is back again now with her very cute favorite pass time picture which is of course - sleeping. Putting her to sleep is not a problem at all. As soon as she finds a perfect spot, she falls into sleep in no more than 5 minutes. Yes, that quick. The only thing we've noticed on her is that she snores like a human, sometimes louder than humans. At first we mistook that sound for growling. I guess this is because of their squashed like face.

Maggie D ~ Our beloved Shar Pei
My First Shot Of Maggie D
Two months old Maggie quietly sat on the living room floor as she watched every visitor roam across the room. Watching her mommy closely in a distance, she remains on guard even at a young age, glancing on every strange movements. It is her first time to be left on the open with strangers. Maggie, whose eyes fixed in her mommy wherever she goes, is always protective and observant. As for my best friend, who is Maggie's mom, being patient and loving to Maggie are one the the important things that should never be forgotten.
Chinese Shar Pei is considered as one of the world's rarest dog breeds. The breed originated from China and they are also known as Chinese Fighting Dog. I somehow can't describe what I felt when I saw Maggie for the first time. At first I was hesitant. I mistook her for a Pug because of her looks specially her wrinkles but later I realized that she isn't a Pug. She is much bigger than a Pug. Shar Pei's has many wrinkles but there is a tendency that these wrinkles will disappear as they mature. Her coat is off-standing and rough to touch. Her cute ears are small and fall forward while her deep set eyes shows how protective she is.
Behaving Like Her Mommy Told Her
Maggie's mom who is my best friend is so happy to have her. It is only Maggie's first week on her new home but she seems to know her mommy even for a short period of time. Later that day when she is kinda used to other people, everyone is touching and playing with her but of course we always warned our friends to remain gentle at her.
That day we all welcome Maggie D as a new member of the family.
