I was surfing the official website for the movie “Firehouse Dog” and there is a part on their website where you can upload your picture and put design on it. So I decided to play around with my picture and here is what I got. 
So what do you think? Do I look like a Hero or a Star? *teehee*
Woof!
Yey! Here comes another dog movie to watch out for. Woof! =D
Firehouse Dog is about an adorable Irish Terrier named Rex. He is Hollywood’s top-grossing canine and is known for his extreme athletic abilities and diva-like demeanor. But he gets separated from his owner because of an accident while shooting for a commercial. He becomes lost, alone, filthy and unrecognizable in an unfamiliar city and gets chased by animal control. Rex soon teams up with a 12-year-old kid Shane Fahey (Josh Hutcherson) and gets adopted as the mascot of a hapless fire station.

Summer has passed, July is coming, and soon it will be rainy season again here in the Philippines. Ever heard of the phrase “raining cats and dogs?” This is an expression which is usually used when it is raining heavily. I really don’t know how this expression originated as raindrops certainly don’t look or act anything like cats or dogs to me. *giggle* I found out though that it isn’t really certain where or how this phrase originated. One source says that:
It originated in 17th Century England when many dogs and cats drowned during heavy downpours of rain and when rivers burst their banks. Their bodies would be seen floating in the rain torrents that raced through the streets giving the appearance that it had literally rained “cats and dogs.”
From the site World Wide Words, there are five more explanations to the origin of the phrase. One is that:
The most common one says that in olden times, homes had thatched roofs in which domestic animals such as cats and dogs would like to hide. In heavy rain, the animals would either be washed out of the thatch, or rapidly abandon it for better shelter, so it would seem to be raining cats and dogs. Other suggestions include derivation from an unspecified Greek aphorism that was similar in sound and which meant “an unlikely occurrence”, or that it is a corrupted version of a rare French word, catadoupe, meaning a waterfall. It has also been suggested that at one time the streets of British towns were so poorly constructed that many cats and dogs would drown whenever there was a storm; people seeing the corpses floating by would think they had fallen from the sky, like the proverbial rains of frogs.
