this stray puppy

It has been a month since an accident cost a stray puppy her fore limb. She was crying in pain when I saw her hiding under the container office.



We (Yati, Alan & myself) called the SPCA and they advised that we send her for medical treatment. After much discussion, we sent her to Mt Pleasant. We were introduced to Dr Heng who did an x-ray on her. The x-ray showed that her bones are not fractured... but why cant she move her limb? She recommended that this puppy be put on observation for a couple of days.

Day 2 - Dr Heng called.. saying that she need to amputate her. What a shocking news to handle. Should we amputate her or put her to sleep (this is what happen when you send an injuried dog to SPCA). Dr Heng encouraged us to amputate her because the surgery will give her a lease of new life (without dragging the "useless" limb around) however we need to look for a committed care-giver. Dr Heng was helpful as she helped us to look for 1. She introduced "Noahsark" and it was indeed a great recommendation.

Day 3 - Yati and me visited this puppy... from the entrance of the clinic I heard a dog crying in pain. Little did I know that it was the stray we knew. Dr Heng confirmed to us that it was her. Me and yati (being so emotional) cried in front of the vet. (hahahaha... how embarrassing). The pup was in pain because she was sterilised too (double the pain!!). Its was so heart - wrenching to hear the cries... its like you hearing a helpless baby crying for some care and love as he just woken up from the surgery pain.

Anyhow, everything is a past now and she has found a lovely owner and a home full of warm. I am so happy for her. :)

Dash's "best" friend

Kitty was the 1st pet in our house. She's a stray cat however she possesses some wit. After being the dominant for more than 1 year, she got a new addition: DASH. However, Dash doesnt welcome Kitty. He would chase her and bark at her. He will not stop unless Kitty leaves the house. He will be then satisfied. Jealous freak, isn't he? Well, guess all dogs are possessive.
However, when its Breakfast time, they are very friendly to each other. No scratching or growling at all. One of Dash's favourite past-time is to look at Kitty while she's having her breakfast.

Look at him.. doesnt the expression oozed out the "greediness" in him? My dad managed to train him well enough to sit opposite Kitty to observed her quietly. His reward would be some treats from Kitty's breakfast.

swimming

Swimming, one of Dash's favourite sport. He hasn't been into the waters for quite sometime. Blame it on myself, been rather lazy. He loves retrieving things (i.e. water bottles, rubber ball) I threw to the sea (Dont worry, i'm not littering).

The outing starts of with walking through the linkway between Mandarin Gardens & Neptune Court. Dash will usually get his "business" done, sniff sniff around. The linkway will bring us to the underpass that leads to East Coast Park.



Recently, I noticed some slight changes in Dash. 1st: he's able to behave better when I leash him up. Perhaps, he came to understand that I will "reward" him by giving him some "freedom" when there are lesser people around. I would praise him for behaving well. 2ndly: He reached puberty so he tends to behave "more gentlemanly" in front of a female than with a male dog.






After about an hour of walk, Dash would be panting with lots of saliva dripping. hahaha.. disgusting right? well, dogs' mouth and tongue are their only outlet of heat and perspiration. Now, he's cooling off by drinking from the pond water.
