Unofficial SPCA

I was at a friend's house last week and came upon the above sign OPPOSITE his house. It's common to have a "Dilarang membuang SAMPAH di sini" and this is the first time I'm seeing a "do not throw dogs here" sign board.

.

Also on LiteFM, there was this slot which makes us sound inhumane, throwing our pets away, which in other words, kicking them out of the house when we are fed up with them or when they are sick and old. Do we treat our children the same manner? I hope not.

And the reason for that sign up there is because this person loves dogs. He had, at one stage, 14 dogs to care for. He'd pick up strays from all over, bring them back, nurture them and make sure they have the comfort of a home. Yes, the dogs have the privilege to go in and out of the air-conditioned house at anytime they like. Some of them sleep in the rooms, going up and down the stairs like they owned the whole house. Indeed, they are treated so well, like a human. They were given good food and cod liver oil pills!! Imagine that!

Truly, this is one dog lover who treat his dogs well. No wonder people place their unwanted dogs at his gate all the time.

Doggie's Gone

I just noticed that Doggie is not around anymore. I don't see her at my neighbour's compound, neither is she anywhere near my house.

.

I asked my neighbour what happened to Doggie and she didn't know either. Doggie disappeared, just like that. I do hope that she has found her owners and that she's well fed and cared for.

.

Meanwhile, the sausages and ham that I bought specially for her will be kept in my freezer until she appears again ...... I hope.

The Dog Barked

Remember the doggie I blogged about last week?

Doggie in my neighbour's house

Right now, he's semi-permanently at my neighbour's house. He squeezed in through the vertical bars and because he's so cute, he was sort of adopted by them.

We still do feed him from time to time but we'd only do it once a day, usually it's sausage or some kind of meat. Because of that, he's kinda choosy over food. He loves meat.

Sometimes he comes over to my house. No, he can't squeeze through the metal bars of our gate. He comes in when we drive our cars in and he would run around the compound of the house, like as though he owned it.

In all these weeks, we have never heard him bark before. He was certainly a maintenence free dog - errr.... except for his expensive choice of food.

I was in the house when I heard the dog barked for the very first time. It was on a friday and a cell night. Justin, Sarah & Rebecca was at the gate and suddenly I heard the bark. I went out, saw the kids and was surprised that there were no other dogs around. Well, it seemed that dear doggie barked when he saw strangers.

Later, when more people came, he barked more. Even dear hubby was surprised that doggie barked and went out to see if it was indeed doggie that was barking. Dear hubby said that he has to train the dog to recognise cell members :-)

The Little Dog

For the past 2 weeks, this little dog had been paying me a friendly visit whenever I go out or come back home. He (not sure of its gender but it sure looks like a "he") would come near me when I am closing/opening the gate.

After a few days, I started giving him food from my freezer. Knowing me, I've got lots of extra (and sometimes expired) stuff in my fridge. I gave him one or two sausages a day and filled up a small container with water.

At first, he was rather shy and ran away. After a while, he came very close and ate the (cold, frozen) sausage.

He is now bold enough to come into the compound of the house but he knows his limitations and would leave the compound when we ask him to.

I've just run out of sausages.

And yesterday, I went to Jusco to buy a box of dog biscuits. I haven't bought dog biscuits before and don't know if I bought the correct one. There were a few to choose from. I'm hoping that he's not too "spoiled" by the daily supply of sausages that he would not eat the biscuits.
