Roca Needs Love

Hello there! It's been a long time since I've been here. Some of you may have met me before, but for those who do not know me yet, please allow me to introduce myself.

Hello There!

I am a Shih Tzu, which literally translates to "lion dog". I just turned 11 months and turning legal age (Yay! So excited).  I am very lucky to have been adopted and raised by a loving family and even extended family! Yes, my aunts and grannies love me too! You see, in the photo below, I was wearing the pretty dress sewn by my aunt (my mom's sister).



My cousin once tagged me along during a pet parade week at school, wherein I was baptized! Yey thanks! I remember to have worn the fiercest outfit sewn by my granny (mom's aunt). Why fierce? Can't you see, I pretended to be a lion!



Too bad, I wasn't able to convince anyone that I was a lion. *tsk It's not my fault that I've got an angelic face.


Sometimes, I pretend to be a cheerer too! How I wish, my mom have taken a better photo of me wearing my cheerleader outfit because everyone said, I looked hot! LOL!

Notice my calming chair? You might see a lot of "me" sitting on it again because that's how my mom usually tames me whenever I am hyperactive.


And I'm sure, my mom have already mentioned that I once had a blue hair...


My mom dyed my hair when we were preparing for the pet parade to purposely match my cheerleader outfit, sadly, it washed out quite quickly even before the day arrived, probably because my hair was too oily. So we decided to just go for the tiger outfit.


I have always been thrilled to drive, but my papa just wouldn't let me have the key!
I know I can be a little mischievous at times! But please do not mistake that for bratty. My mom would not tolerate such attitude.


Although my papa can be very strict with me, I still love him! And I am the most excited when he comes home from work! When he has parked the car, I usually do this....


I also do that whenever I want to get a glimpse of the Shih Tzu guy next door, Chico ♥

My mom used to tell me a lot about my lineage. She said, our breed originated from crossbreeding a Pekingese and Lhasa Apso. She has also read somewhere that during the British invasion of China, we were almost extinct, leaving only the seven males and seven females. It means that I can actually trace my lineage to one of the endangered 14! Cool trivia, no?

Now that you know a lot about me, can I ask you little favor?


My aunt recently submitted my photo in a photo contest on Facebook. I was wearing the Gothic Lolita dress—a thrift find by my Tita Ja . It fits me perfectly! Though my mom thinks that "me" in that pretty dress deserves a proper shoot.  But my aunt was too excited to make me wear the little Gothic dress with the matching mini top hat she made a long time ago—that she didn't even bother to brush my hair in that pic. I still look cute though.

I do not really expect to win, but the anticipation of winning is fun! So I am really asking for your help, it can be done by just a click! This contest runs until the end of this month.
