This corner features pets of animal lovers every week. We hope new owners and those thinking of getting a pet will be encouraged to be responsible “furparents” through these features. We also hope more people will be moved to be kind to animals when they read about the great relationship that can be created between humans and animals.

Diego is a mix of lhasa apso and a poodle.
“He is alert and clingy. He would bark when he sees a stranger, and is sensitive enough to feel if someone’s knocking on our gate. Yes, he is firm, but loving. He likes to cuddle with the whole family! He looks like a teddy bear when he is full of fur,” Roxan says.
Doug is a beagle but Roxan fondly says he is also known as the “stuffed dog.”
“He likes to sleep all day and only wakes up when he hears the timer of the microwave and the sounds of pots and plates; he knows when it is “eating time”. Despite of sleeping the whole day, his furdad would always give him a walk every morning because his furdad believes that he needs a diet” Roxan says.
“Funny, after years of walking everyday, nothing changed. He is still cute, lovable, and a fat furbaby,” says Roxan.
Diego and Doug would always fight but in a rare moment captured on cam, the two kissed each other. This made Roxan simply ecstatic.
