Be Vigilant with your pets

Today while I drove into Bangsar Village 1 to the grocers, I spotted a pomeranian being stroke by one of the bangsar village staff. You know one of those Burmese guys. I asked him who's dog it was, he replied he didn't know. The dog looked friendly and she just sat quietly. I quickly nipped into Village Grocers, bought what I needed and proceeded to where the dog was. I was asking around as to who was missing a dog but to no avail. So what now? I decided to take the dog and post it around. I gave the guy my card with my number at the back so when the owner asked around, he would be passed my card.

I drove to my centre, called around and posted on facebook. This was at 3.30pm. After calling around, in case I haven't found the owner, I found a fosterer to care for her. She was very calm and she followed me all over. I noticed that she had either given birth or was on heat but more likely that she had given birth and she was well groomed. To cut the long story short, with the help of SPCA who posted on FB as well, my Holistic page and my friend's phone call, she finally got home safely. I received a call from a girl in Australia stating that it's her mom's dog and that she has given birth. She told me that her maid had left the gate open and I also found out from her dad that she was just groomed day before. The dog just walked out the gate to find the groomers place. Now I never knew that dogs love grooming but apparently she did.

The point to this tale is this, please be vigilant with your pets. Leaving even the gate ajar can lead to your canines leaving the house. So many dogs have gone missing that way and I've had numerous call concerning missing dogs. She was one of the lucky ones. I'm glad that she's home.

Finally she's home! After a few hours of adventure.

Play time!

Now here's a 15 second video of our little poogle mix and our rottweiler playing. They just adore each other! Who says rotties are dangerous. He is just a little teddy bear.

WALKIES!!

Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! How often do you walk your dog or dogs? Once a day, twice a day, three times a day or none at all? What shoes do you wear to walk your dogs? Like the ones above which is very practical and comfortable, a pair of flip flops or in malaysia we call in slippers, a pair of heels, very impractical or none at all? Well, I'm not here to talk about shoes but about walking your dogs. You may think that having a small dog, she or he does not need any exercise because they get enough exercise running around the condo unit. How wrong you are. Dogs like a change of environment. They need the exercise for their physical health as well as for their mind. Yes you heard me right, their mind. The brain is a muscle too. It needs stimulation, how they get that is by sniffing the grass, playing with their friends and even a new scenery. You see, when the muscle do not get exercised, it will waste away and in the case of the brain not being exercised, the dogs will develop dementia just like a human would. Not many people think about the brain as a muscle hence there are many dogs who gets dementia early in their life. So why not give your dog a better way of living and for yourself too. Walk him / her, exercise not only the physical muscles in the body for the both of you but also the brain muscle. Hopefully in sensible shoes!! :D 

Day Care

Ahhh the life of a dog...what can I say? Mommy and daddy decided to go out on a date and they left Shalom the Shih Tzu at Happydogz Holistic Centre for day care where she gets to play with the other dogs there. She loved the home made peanut butter cookies there too but she too gets forlorn for her parents..but not for long! Here comes another cookie!!
