Growing up pictures of our puppy

I was not able to document the growth of my older dog Soju and I only have a few pictures of her as a pup, so I really wanted to take a monthly photo of our puppy Banchan. (Her name is a Korean word meaning side dish, and the older dog's name is a Korean alcoholic drink.)
We adopted Banchan mid-August, and she was already two months old at the time. I will have a photo taken with her monthly, with the same pose and with me wearing the same shirt. I'm pleased to see how much she's grown. She eats a lot.
She is a mongrel, what we call "ASPIN" here in the Philippines. That is a portmanteau of "ASong PINoy," which literally translates to"Philippine Dog." There is another term for them, "ASKAL" short fot "ASong KALye" meaning "Street Dog."
Sadly, there are many people who love taking care of dogs like huskies, poodles, chow chows, Chihuahuas, and other fancy breeds, but will turn a blind eye on Aspin dogs like our Banchan.
Do you have a dog? Do you have a before and after growing up collage?

Cute Banchan there. Unfortunately, I don't have a dog this time and not looking yet as of this time. Perhaps in the coming years, I can find time to take care even just one. Good that you're able to adopt that breed. It's becoming a problem now that there are many stray dogs and cats in our streets.

No! ,I do not have a dog. I do not have the time to take care of a dog.

Having a dog really takes up one's time, so it is not recommended for busy people who are always out of the house. The dog would be bored and lonely, and would most likely make a mess.

whether dogs that are well-bred, or the mongrel/mutt, these are still having lives and we should care for them. good thing too you have monitored your dog's growth and development

That is really cool. I had a dog but she has been gone for a very long time. I have a cat she is now 4 years old.
