Last week, we went to the National Geographic Channel (NGC) Doggy Day Camp.

To say the children were happy is a bit of an understatement. They had fun gushing, petting (some that they know won’t bite) and taking photos of cute, big, hairy, little, and not so hairy dogs.

The National Geographic Channel’s Doggy Day Camp had these furry friends enjoy different activities such as grooming services and massages from Furrr-pect Grooming, pedigree treats in a kibble buffet set-up by Treats Cafe and playing with other dogs at the Wilderness Pupplay.

Their humans meanwhile learned new tricks and tips from Cesar Millan, a dog behavior expert during the screening of the new season of Dog Whisperer. Dog Whisperer airs every 10 pm Wednesday at the NGC.

Born to be Wild host Ferdz Recio talked about proper nutrition while Pawsitive Education resident vet Jon Uy discussed behavioral issues of dogs. May Angela Feliz of Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) discussed about the responsibility of pet ownership. GMA7’s Aso ni San Roque’s dog named Princess was present, along with the cast of the show.

The Doggy Day Camp also had a parade and a mini agility race where Urban Sports K9. Ten of the best submitted heroic dog feats were also featured in an exhibit.

Here are a few photos we took of the dogs in the Doggy Day Camp:

The National Geographic Channel‘s advocacy is to promote the importance of pet ownership responsibility.

This is Chi-chi, our American Pit Bull Terrier.

Chichi (who I already featured in a PH entry here) is sweet with the kids and is very playful. Yes, she is cuddly but we seldom cuddle her because she is big, heavy, and muscled.

When she steps on your toes with her big paws or stands up and the nails scratched your arm, you will definitely say “Awww!”

Pit Bulls are probably one of the misunderstood breeds among dogs.

Oops, my short post just got long. I am a bit busy these days and had only a little time to write a post.

Now back to looking for pre-employment screening for a friend who is putting up a new biz.

Meet Cookie, a Shih Tzu pup.

Doesn’t she look adorable and cute?

Well, she is adorable and cute and anyone would probably want to have one like her, including children.

Having a pet is not easy because there are so many responsibilities that go with it. Caring for pets require a lot from its human: proper food, grooming, getting the dog supplies needed and proper medical care.

Every Saturday participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is FURRY.

Okra buds, my other entry is here.

I am featuring our (almost new) dog, Chichi, an American Pit Bull Terrier who came to our home three months ago. He is our only APBT now because Sparky (who is probably in heaven) died last month.

She is not really furry compared to toy dogs and other herding dogs because she is a short-haired breed. We prefer to have this kind than the long-haired ones that need grooming (these can be expensive) and shed unwanted hairs that can cause asthma.

Contrary to what others believe, pit bulls are friendly (except when they are together with other dogs and/or smaller animals and other APBT) and very playful.
