Dog as Family
This photo below went viral on Facebook and I happened to see it on my wall, the dog named Douglas is helping the paralyzed old man to cross the street by pushing an improvised cart. Mang Tony (the old man) was paralyzed when he was shot on his back on 1988 and after 21 years he found Douglas who serves as his feet and guide on the street, together they begged for alms to survive.
Mang Tony is living alone and for him Douglas is not just a friend but his family. Their story is very touching, Douglas is very protective with Mang Tony, I hope the government could help them. Watch the full video here.
Comfort and Pets
Owning a pet is not just like owning a toy that you could play anytime you want, owning a pet is a responsibility that one should remember. It is like adding one member to the family because they are not just animals or pets that can just neglect when we are busy or something, they need love and attention too because they also have feelings that us human couldn’t understand as.
When I feel sad and lonely and there is nothing to talk too I hug my cat or puppy and sometimes I talk with them like they can understand what I feel, doing so I received a feeling of comfort.
Anyway I always took a kitten or a puppy if we have one with me no matter where I go around our neighborhood especially when buying a viand in the nearby made shift canteen, the feeling of being alone while walking never existed because I have a pet with me.
Cat and Dog
Who said that a cat and a dog wouldn’t be happy together? It is an old saying, belief that cat and dog wouldn’t work together but I guess it depends, look how comfortable Jihoo with his cat friend. It looks like they’re having a conversation eh, dunno what they are talking about.
Benefits of Dog Kennels
There are times that you are required to travel it is either work related or for leisure. Everything is set but there’s one thing stopping you and that is your pet, no one will took care of your dog while you are away especially if you are living alone. The good thing now a days there are dog kennels where you can place your dogs temporarily for a free. They provide priceless service and provide safe and friendly environment for dogs.

Dog kennels establishments are can be ordinarily found in key cities, mostly in downtown areas and many of them also offer grooming and training services in addition to boarding, there are also some where you can buy accessories and clothes for your dog. Your dog might felt unfamiliar with the kennel surroundings so you should bring him for a walk before deciding to left your dog for short period of time.
Cockatiel as Pets
One of our neighbor has a Cockatiel and the bird is very disturbing especially early in the morning where usually we are still sleeping. The bird just keep on crying everyday to my husband’s irritation because it is too loud and I supposed the owner was also disturbed by the constant noise from the bird after few days we can’t hear the bird anymore dunno if what happened to it. Maybe our neighbor return it to a pet shop or resell it to someone who can bear the noise of it, I think having that kind of bird will be a nice idea if you have no neighbors.
Cockatiel is is the smallest cockatoo endemic to Australia and also known as the Quarrion and the Weiro. They are easy to breed and well known as a household pet and companion parrot throughout the world.
Dog House
Normally when we have a dog they sleep inside our house when they are still young but when they are grown up they sleep outside our house because they create a lot noises and don’t want to stay in one place. So we normally let them stay in our front porch.
Well I know we should build a dog house but our place is not the best idea to have one, only small rain and there’s a little flood so I don’t think our dog will feel secure and comfortable on it because like people dogs are also sensitive to weather, they can succumb to extreme cold and health and might cause sort of problems to them, they might create a lot of noises too.
Stuffed Toy Animals
Below is the collections of stuffed toys at home, guess which is real puppy. Help me find Jihoo. Haha, he looks very comfortable with the stuffed toys and it seems he is little bit shy on the camera.
Scottie
This is my pet Scottie, my cutie and my little friend. He looks so cute while asleep isn’t he? Look at his tummy, so full. Haha, he loves to eat that he even fight with our cat when it is time to eat. Scottie was a fashionista too he always wear nail polish on his nail. Lol! He was friendly too my niece loves to bring him anywhere as what I always do.
Training a Puppy
Training my pet is one of the things I want to learn. I want him to learn to pick a ball or do some tricks but I have no knowledge on how to do it that’s why I am amazed when my long distant cousins thought their dog to pick a stick or ball when it was thrown. I don’t know how they do it but one thing is for sure it looks very cool.
Anyway training a puppy is better than training him when he is already grown up because it can save time and you can avoid necessary tress.
Puppy
Most of us love dogs and everybody loves puppies. Who can resist a cute and lovable puppy? They brought a lot of fun but gives a lot o responsibilities because you can’t just adopt or buy a puppy without caring for it. You should know that puppies are born deaf, blind and a very little sense of smell so you have to make sure they are properly nourished with milk from their mother, they should stay with their mother for at least two months, there are times that when some people adopt a small puppy they used milk droplets or nipple bottles.
Below is my sister’s dog, she got it when he is still a small puppy. The owner gave it to her immediately to avoid other people asking for it. As the puppy don’t eat solid food yet my family bought him a milk and a feeding bottle and you see he enjoys being feed in the bottle.
One thing to remember too when the complete set of teeth of puppies take place be sure to prepare chewable toys because puppies need to chew to stimulate the loss of their baby teeth and to help place their permanent teeth. They also like to stay cuddled up close to their mother and siblings to stay warm and feel secure.
