the matchmaker Mood: suave Topic: lazy thoughts
while i was taking a walk in the tampines park today, nana approached me & needed my help. she wants to know this poodle- jonjon. both nana & jonjon are not regulars, since their parents seldom take them out. so, i'm not surprised they never ever met. after the introduction, i left them there & then. well, except for bobby, still hanging around. poor bobby, he's got a competitor! tsk tsk....*giggle* do you think bobby & jonjon will get into a catfight? er, i mean, dog fight!?

good dogs, bad owners Mood: irritated Topic: lazy thoughts
there's no such thing as 'BAD' dogs...there's only BAD owners! why are the innocent ones that are being punished? any domestic pets can be dangerous, due to irresponsible ownership, or improper training. domestic pets are like kids: they are always over-excited, playful, and sometimes, very noisy. all they want is to have fun. they don't have much social etiquette, because kids' & animals' I.Q/ E.Q aren't as developed yet. don't measure domestic pets with your yardstick. pets are family. please don't assume that dogs are just animals, tho' i know some people may not comprehend it. if our family pet is lost, we grieve like our child is lost too. it's the same pain. not ALL strays attack people or other animals. i've seen more strays being victims of physical abuse. the cats were being splashed with boiling water by adults; kids using bamboo poles to whack bigger dogs (and their parents were laughing approvingly); dogs & cats/ kittens being kicked in the stomach by human beings; giving pigeons/ black birds with poison feeds... AND THESE PEOPLE GOT AWAY WITH IT. IS IT FAIR? the SPCA has put in alot of effort for so many years to educate the public. i hope we will not stay ignorant any longer. its the deed, not the breed! most of the dogs that were euthanized hasn't done any wrongs.
