What's your choice if u're a Dog?

I Wonder:

If u're a dog, would u choose to be killed alive and serve as human food?
or to be kept in a cage in a poor condition, breed and give birth for life?

If u're against dog meat trade, please also support in anti-puppy-mill, as puppy mill dogs are nothing better than dog meat victim...

Don't buy. Adopt.

A PET’S TEN COMMANDMENTS

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

DeSoLoGY: A World whereby Monkeys See Monkeys Do

What is this earth made up of? water and land? and tons and tons and million tons of human... Human are always the roots to every problem... even contiguous illness... People show off their belongings, show off their fame... the worse that they can do is when they involve living things... I felt guilty... so guilty that I start questioning myself, am I promoting to be a responsible pet owner, encouraging pet adoption or am I triggering the greed of human..? making them have urgh to owe these little dogs and cats, so they can show off their cute things...

After I got myself involving in dog rehoming, posting and reposting on facebook, spreading news of pets who is looking for home... ignorant people start seeing me as a "dog supplier", they start asking me question as below:

"Do u have puppies for adoption?"
"My Boyfriend want to adopt a dog, do you have a maltese or shih tzu?"
"What breed is this dog?"

Hello!!! Am not the bloody pet shop owner who sell pets! I dun supply puppies! tat's very frustrating!!!! Isn't it obvious that its a shared post!!! Didn't u saw who to contact for adoption?! I believe it goes the same to all rehomers! If u really wan to find a young puppy and dun wanna buy from pet shop, den do ur own search!!! We can doing everything for the sake of the dog and not u, human beings! Human greeds are nv ending... People seeing all the photos of my boys and ger, they thot its been easy... nah... its nv a ez task.. imagine how I spend all my weekends... I dun usually go out with frens, went for movies or went for shopping.. I spend my weekend bathing the furkids, cook a feast for them... wiping their ears and eyes...

A typical weekend morning

I'll pack my bag with Ash's water bottle, belly wrap and napkin... and off we travel from Bendemeer to Jurong with the rough boy standing on my laps, stepping all over my laps during the half an hour ride.. there are endless scratches on my laps every week until my partner start complaining that why I allow them to step on me and get myself scratched! but yes... tats my love for my boy.. This boy of mine, he hate the hot weather, he will always force his way to the front seats even if we initially put him at the back.. and he got so excited that he will reach forward to the aircon diffuser and stood there. Whenever the car stop, he start jumping in excitment and more scratches are formed... when we reach Jurong, i'll put the boy down, i dun allow him to jump off from height as I afraid he might hurt himself. we leash him and as a boy, he start to pee and poo when he's outside, clearing his poo is a usual business for me... sometimes he dirty his arse when he try to force his tools out... and to my boyfriend's house, I'll wash ash's paws and butt. he start wagging his tails at the play pen while Yuki as always cool, standing at a corner looking at me instead of getting socialize with the others. And its time for Bell to be out to play. But before that I needa put on belly wrap for my boy before he pee the whole place. And u see the 2 kids playing with each other, ash is always losing out to Bell as he is not as fast. Sometimes there will be some biting going on, always bell biting ash... Its the day of the week, i will fetch Bell for her weekly bath and ash always trying to dash into the toilet (he treat bell like his girlfriend). Bell, a young smooth coat chihuahua, other than her fast speed, she's pretty ez to manage, and bath really fast as compared. Follow by a bath, we have to air dry the ger... and she have her freedom back... by the time, my boy will be all so mess up... after yuki done his bath, we make our way out... last sat we went to west coast park dog run, as it rains in the morning... my boy mess himself up in the mud! OMG! totally in a mess! after all the running, I have to wash his muds off! and yes, back to the car this boy and bell ger will always wan to be at the front seats, which means more scratches! We make our way home and its another rd of washing... all the paws, all the eyes and wiping the body... Am more like a slave than a master! Ending the day, we put bell to her bed and fetch ash back home... Ash got totally shag and lay flat on the tiled floor, fell aslp... I grab this opportunity to trim his paw furs and nails, thou he is very tired, he still struggle as I trim... so finally after an hour later, its done and sweet dream.. the hard work still continue the every next day, as I bath the boy, my ash have a dense fur, he need really thorough wash and i usually get myself wet too during the bath...

So u think having pets are ez?

nope... especially breeds like Shih Tzu, Maltese, poodle, they need a lot of grooming... Currently ash's fur are still short, I can save the brushing, but once it grow longer, a daily brushing is essential... We usually groom him like every 3-4mths, $50 per session, and we will just give him a clean shave! which I doubt many ppl will do it.. usually after grooming, u will see him scratch his eyes until it wound and bleed... that's my another headache! The e-collar, the tee shirt, the applying of oilment on the open wounds, checking on him regularly... its never ez, never... but how many of them really see everything and does wat I does...

I seen countless of people, how they handle dogs, it remind me that I should nv do this to my furkids... Animals are not human... By having them means its a lifetime commitment! not ur lifetime but at least its their Lifetime... These furkids will not one day grow up and say to u "mummy, I had grow up, thanks for all ur efforts and am gng to earn lots and lots of money, let u have a good life." You can't expect to gain anything from them except for the love which can settle ur emotion needs and not physical needs...

Reasons (to me are all excuses) for giving up a pet:
"no time for it"
"am moving overseas"
"am pregnant"
"I got kids at home"
"my maid contract ended and we r not re-contracting a new one"
"I can't handle the dog"

No good excuse will made up a valid reason...

If u wan something, u will give hundred and one excuse why u need that thing, if u dun wan something, u will also find hundred and one excuses for dumping that thing. Its just as simple... If you think that it is valid to give these excuse den i doubt u are the one...

You might think that am not giving anyone a chance but think about it... there r so many things to learn and prepare before getting a dog... how to train? how to leash a dog? how to feed a dog? eveything is to be put into deep thot before deciding to take one in... I have seen people who r very very sincere who did research just to house their 1st ever dog... Show me what it got to take and soon... U found urself in the warmth of these furkids...

Yes Yes, my Ashih boy can slp on his back, he love flipping his ear with his paw, He wont struggle when u carry him like a little baby... but do mind that not all dogs did that... every dog is unique in their own way... and Ash is definitely one of the very few which is irreplacable, at least to me... he got a pair of beautiful eyes and his jaws are not protruding like most Shih Tzu does... however, behind his beauty, there is history... He have a de-joint problem with his hind legs since we got him, supplements are giving to ensure his limbs are doing fine... He use to have a lump on his chest, its a outter-skin lump, had been removed when he is 1... As he age, his eyes got irritation pretty often and bad tearing... I have to clean his eyes almost everyday... His shiny fur coat take me around an hour once every week to bath him... His skin is prone to rashes, he need medicated shampoo... and as his fur got long, daily brushing is required, bathing him with conditioner to prevent tangles... I even got myself tea tea oil and dead sea mud so that I could do a home spa for him. To be frank, I dun noe why this boy is just so good temper when he is with other dogs, he had nv try to bite any dog or bark at any (only when he is seeking for attention), nv show agressiveness ever.. The only time when he got angry is when we disturb him... and he totally hate it when i try to trim his paw fur or cut his nails, he wont bite but he will struggle like we are trying to murder him...

Yuki (my boyfriend's boy), a shih-tzu crossed (probably 9 yo or older), this boy have a sad story behind.. He was kept in the toilet when the ex owner is not at home, and when he finally move out of the house, he landed in devil's hands, he was always beaten up badly until he finally came to my boyfriend's place...
Only until I begin to take yuki as my baby, I truly understand the effort to be put in when u have a dog with health issue... this boy here got a very bad skin, its flaky, red, fur loss, rashes, stink... yes... I begin to pick it up as a challenge to myself, i starting searching for suitable shampoo, food for him... every week I'll cook for this boy, brown rice, carrot, tomato, pork, fish, pumpkin, etc, unknowingly, this become a weekly routine as I realize cooking for your furkid is something that is fulfilling to me... seeing him eating all that I cook and enjoying his meal is priceless... the boy's skin got better, his body odour is reducing quite a fair bit, thou the flake is still there, but he seems much happier... this boy got a pair of eyes that is often filled with yellowish discharge and a bad ear infection, its really a messy task to clean him up..

The puppy might be cute and irresistable but one day he will grow up, he will age and his health will deteriorate... Will you be able to commit to love and take care of it no matter what happens?

Another issue which even I myself dun wish to face it... its their death... my boys are all aging, they are 9 and above... am not prepared for their final stage of life and dun wan to prepare for it, becos I know that I will not be able to take it... but well... Now that all I can do is to love them and take good care of them, make sure that they r healthy, happy and stay with me for a long long time...

To my boys and ger, I'll love you and take care of you no matter what happen... be healthy and be with me always... Love..
