Baguio Dogs

Daddy has shared in his previous post that we have moved to the mountains.   We drove for six hours from our old home to our new home in Baguio City.  When Daddy broke the news, we didn't know how to react.  We didn't even know what a mountain is.  Daddy did assure us that we will like it.  He is right - we do like our new home.  There's so much to explore in this new house.

Here are some our favorite photos in our garden.  There's a lot more coming - so please drop by again to find out what we've been up to in our new house.

Char Siew does not like wet grass.  So he uses the stone path to move around the garden.

Midori spotted a butterflly.

Char Siew says:  Sunshine - it's my favorite.

There's so much grass in this garden.  Lots to chew.

You can see the "steps" that Midori can explore.

Fresh air for Char Siew.  Cool too.  Around 18 deg. C.

Midori all smiles.

The Queens Have a new Home

Hear ye! Hear Ye!  The queens have a new home.  We have moved out of our old place in the middle of Makati's business district.  Our new home is located on top of a mountain - over 4,000 feet above sea level.  The city is called Baguio.

The big move happened over two months ago.  This is one reason why we have not been actively posting entries into the House of Queens.  We had been very busy with the move.  After two months - everything that needs to be moved has been moved and our old house has been turned over to our previous landlady.

We love our new home.  Baguio is the summer capital of the Philippines because it has temperate weather all year round.  Since our move - we've seen temperatures between 15 to 22 deg C ( 59 to 72 deg F ). 

Baguio is a beautiful city with rolling hills, zig-zag roads, pine trees that are over centuries old.   We are definitely happy with our new home.   I will get y'all up to speed on what we've been busy since our last post.  Stay tuned my dear readers.

Easter Weekend - Acuaverde

It's that time of the year when all Filipinos take a break from their daily lives.  We at the house of queens spent our Easter weekend at our favorite resort: Acuaverde in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas.  They remembered us from our last visit.  The resort is as good as we remembered - even if there were a lot more people ( and some dogs ) this time.  They were a bit more expensive due to the high demand on Easter but they had all meals included.

Here are some of our pictures from this visit.

We stayed in the same room - downstairs - facing the garden.

There were a lot of activities available to guests of Acuaverde and the neighboring resorts.

Lots of families this time.

The tree house has a bird cage with these colorful birds.

I love the way Acuaverde looks at night.

Food is good.  Here is my afternoon snack of Pinoy spaghetti.
