Clover? Still missing her

Clover is at her foster home now. It's been 2 weeks. I flip through her picture every night before sleep. I miss her so much. That baby look on her face, that queen look on her face, almost every single bit of her.

Hope your doing good without me baby! Love you so much!

Clover spayed | 18 November 2013

i was updating my diary about Clover's spaying detail. i suddenly feel so sad. My dear Clover's wound bleed at my house a day after i bring her home.

yes she do have some temper. a day before she was so mad with the E-Collar i put on her to prevent her licking her wound. She bang here and there. i didn't even bother to check! today(23/11) my dad actually told me her leash strangle around the chair and she was stuck.

I bring her to the vet on Thursday if im not mistaken. because her wound is dripping blood. Doctor say its infection. when im home from the vet, i notice the whole car is covered in blood. It's even more serious.

i quickly call the vet and drive her back to the clinic. i check her in for another few days.

that's not where i feel bad about. it was today, i called the vet for updates. he said the wound open up. and he needs to re-stitch and do dressing.

after my teaching my dad drive me over to see her. the vet was so busy on this saturday. i walk in the kennel room to find her curled up in her kennel. She's really down. just like that few days after her operation. i walk closer and she noticed me. She start to wag her tail and got very excited. then i thought.. she's been eating all those dry food. i walk out and look for a canned food to feed her. She scream so loud! so loud that the whole clinic starting to look into the direction.

i choose one canned food and walk back to the kennel. A greedy dog like her. choose to push her way out instead of getting the food. she keep trying until i have to close the cage to let all the food out.

She became quiet and start eating. i walk out again. She still sense that im there. After "she finish her food i guess". She screams again. "Ahhhhhhh ahhhhh". My clover is such a baby i thought..

so i ask for permission to let her out. they allowed. she no longer walk beside me..she was pushing her way out .. to get the hell out of that nasty place!

i spend some quality time with her outside while waiting for the doctor. We have decided to put her there for another 2 day until her wound clear up. She will then go to my friend's house.

The worst part came when the kennel man leash her back to the kennel. and with cone around her to block her view. She can't believe she have to go back there again. a dog who needs freedom so badly..
I can't even say "goodbye baby i will come and pick u on monday".. she wont feel any better with me talking. I feel so horrible. did i made a mistake for spaying her? I'm so sorry to her that she have to go through that again.

Clover my baby i really love you i hope you wont be so down. I'll really come and get you for sure. Love u.

3rd attack! Clover bitten Snowie 16/11/13

Just when i have more confident of both of them going out together. It strikes again. This is the 3rd time Clover attack snowie. It was an adoption drive. Yes she is definitely stress.. even stress after she was groomed. I don't know why she wants to attack Snowie. We were about to leave already.

That scene is almost a nightmare and unforgettable. My hands are full. My reaction is slow. Clover bite Snowie, Snowie show that fearful face but doing her best to show as much teeth possible. The great Dane join in. Didn't fight but join around. Clover still wouldn't let go. All i did was pulling the leash i don't even know what to response. A guy then carry Clover away.

I was so mad! Enough is enough. Any other bad things she did i can bear with it but attack my precious is a no way! Until now i can still see snowie being pressed down and bite.

We then check for wound. It wasn't obvious.. the fur is too thick! We missed out a big wound which i found during shower time at home. She keep yelling when i touched the leg. Then i saw that big hole.

I was shocked to hand shaking non stop. I must send clover away was all in my mind.  I kept saying sorry to snowie for the trouble i bring home when we were rushing to Vet.
2 stitches need as her wound was torn.

Back at home i got scolded by mother several times. I keep silent. No one know how sad i feel. First it was snowie. Then its Clover. She have to go back straying again. Its all my fault!

But today i tell myself. I will not ever wanna see Snowie get pressed down like that anymore. That horrible face that i cannot bear to see. She is all i have.

the short term memory lost?

it's a midnight post! about an incident happened yesterday at pyramid. before we reach the place i told my sister and friend to remind me shops i need to go after our dinner at cappriciosa (it was great!).

one of the station i need to stop by is Daiso! i walk in.. i even hold one basket as if im gonna buy alot. then after turning one round.. i quickly look for my sister and her friend and ask "did i tell u what i wanna buy?" "shit i don't remember what i wanna buy"

not at all!!! then i pass by popular.. i remember there's one thing i need to buy from popular. oh ya i forgotten too. it feels like the brain system just shut down your memory switch. LoL

actually it wasn't the first time. just that this time a bit serious that i don't remember at all. normally i'd forget whether i've taken my daily medicine. few months back i start to forget things. thats why i always blog and also keep a diary.

i've read on the internet before that epileptic patient do experience memory lost. im glad im not that serious yet! it's just short term :P another reason is caffeine.. drinking too much coffee is bad for patient with seizure.

or probably... i'm aging too fast?? hahah!! i shall sleep now. ;)

Snowie's Cataract

Today's topic is dog's eye cataract!! well, it's a dog aging thing.. normally the vet would say it's no big deal. really, it's no big deal.

when Snowie got her first cataract when she's 9? (cataract- see picture). i feel nothing at all. vet gave me options. 1. Operation 2. Can-C eye drop (50/50) 3. leave it.

I personally think it's a growing up thing. She's 9 that year. Operation is a big No! as for Can-C eye drop? Doctor's patient feedback is 50/50. i can only purchase online. and it's very expensive. so i decided not to do anything with the cataract. well, she have heart enlarge problem, joint problem, why do i need to add another trouble dripping here and there? it's so much stress for her. Besides, Doctor said it's 100% left eye, 25% right eye. that was a years ago. she have no trouble with vision. she have one more eyes to see even though it's 25% cataract.

Just few days ago, after the dogathon, back at home i look at her, the black pearl right eye has slowly turned into blue. immediately i burst into tears. for the fact that she is so many steps ahead of me. of course i know it's part of her growing up and i've already get myself ready for anything to happen. but stillllllll.... seeing her grow up is quite sad.

i cried for like.. one hour or so. it now explain why she's always anxious when someone touches her from back or with too many dogs around.

she start hitting drawers at home when it's open. She will stare at wall for nothing.

i announce her current condition to my parents. about maybe 50% vision left. she can see but she won't be able to tell the distance. all drawers opened must be closed. they were sad as well but i tell them not to worry since we're not moving anywhere. furniture are not being moved. she might be stress for now(beginning). sooner or later she will get used to it.

we met the doctor recently and honestly no one knows she's 10, turning 11. what doc say is, for a senior dog she's in a very good state.

If you have an old dog like me. Don't worry, shower her with love. i always tell her that don't worry. i'll be your guiding light.

If you're interested to try Can-C eye drop for your dog, here's the link.
Can-C: http://www.vita-stream.com/can-c-eye-drops.html?gclid=CNru-rnMnboCFYgB4godx0QANQ

Hope this helps. i couldn't afford such drop for my dogs. but do let me know if it works :) If you don't have the fund just like me? let's be their guiding light.. we'll cry for a day or two.. then do our job as their guiding light :)

 

Love,

Hot weather, hot pan floor

The weather's been a bitch lately at malaysia. A good advice to every dog owner, do not walk your dog when the floor is teppanyaki hot!

I made a mistake today. Its a every shower routine and habit to apply oil and then tie her to one of the fence pillar to dry her, while i wash the floor. Today i notice something different.

She turns round and round..  then start licking the floor and sit on the area she licked. Then she stand up again.. repeat what she do.. after a moment it hits me that oh ya the floor is damn hot.. very quickly i untie her leash and get her in the shaded area..

Sometimes dog owner do have mistakes like that and we wont even notice. Just be careful. If the floor is so hot your barefoot can't stand it why do you think the dog can?

It's just a quick advice from a mistake i made. Remember to also refill your dog's water bowl from time to time. I hate this weather!!!

Cheers,
The sweating yi

Snowie can swim!!

It was Pixie's birthday!!

So Snowie gets to swim since the party is at K9 cottage!!

and this, is minmin's first swim. she actually did a great job that she didn't panicked like snowie does on her first. :)

Scurvie gets on my nerve!!

i put her to training.. everything's well, everything's good! i put the blame on myself.. recently i'm really losing patience on her. especially when she gets stubborn!

Small issues like when she wouldn't walk properly like she do during walks without Snowie.. she won't walk beside me..almost like me dragging her. Without Snowie, she's way too perfect for walk.

                               this is her unwilling to get out of the car..
For her a "no" means a "no".. she doesn't want it, she won't do it. how's her progress in training? VERY GOOD... in the first two classes!! food is the KEY to her success!! without food, i'd break my wrist to get her to "Sit"! and i really did hurt my wrist!

this fellar is way too smart for people like me to control. Her stubborn level really drive me crazy! breathhhhhhhh~~

Crazy fosterer,

Brilliant novel | Out of Shadow by Jason Wallace

"If i stood you in front of a man, pressed the cold metal of a gun into your palm

and told you to squeeze the trigger, would you do it?"

"No, Sir"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course Sir, No ways!"

"What if i then told you we'd gone back in time

and his name was Adolf Hitler? 

Would you do it then?  Would you?

that's it. something interesting to start with. it took me really long time to get myself into reading this book (i'm quite lazy recently). then i start reading again. i keep flipping back to what i've missed. 

i finished reading this book. it surprise me with how good it is! this book is about a british boy went to Africa to study due to his father's job in the embassy. The war in Africa just end with Mugabe as their new president.

okay the rest go read it yourself. i'd say this is a very brave masterpiece showing the reality of racial issues that occur between human and human. in fact! it is. 

i cried for something in the end. this book is about REALITY! REALITY! and REALITY!! there is no right or wrong. but if i'm Robert Jacklin. i will maybe do the same thing. 

this book is so emotional and it really did show how a word -"R.E.G.R.E.T" can affect your whole life. that's the reason i cried and can't go to bed at night.(yeah i'm one of those who will put myself in one of the character in a book).sometimes you won't know.. the fact that a person's death is not as pathetic as a regret.

okay~ very short post on a novel! hope i can be more active writing up post. :)

Cheerio,

梦啊梦~~

                                           (picture taken from 周公解读)
上个月的事吧。。梦到妈祖神像被烧，我和妈妈强救火。。可是妈祖神像头和手开始断了。我一下就吓醒。。很少会在把梦当一回事。。可是这次我既然上网查，“梦到妈祖神像被烧解读”。 该网站解说，梦到神像是好事，梦到神像被烧是大难将来临！

我在想，我没工作，我爸不爽我，我伤到头，肚子，和手（发作），我还有什么大难叻？所以我过几天就把事情忘了，还不是梦一个？

我一直都不知道我喜欢做些什么工作。只知道，我很喜欢狗。我应征了几份工。其一是兽医护士。因薪水不合我把工作推了。。实在有些后悔。也过了几个星期，开始觉得很伤心。最近在ara damansara当钢琴教师，学院隔壁就是兽医管。每次经过，都会特别伤心，失望，后悔。夸张的是，最近既然伤心得无法恢复心情。哈哈！

结果就让我想起了这个很久的梦。“妈祖”就是“机会”；“妈祖”燃烧时我就像梦里的我，也许可以救的？可是我最终还是看着一份这么好的“机会”从我的手里消失。 那把火，不就是我的手吗？
虽说，这只是我的想法，可是还是想劝劝各位：

我们的手就像一把火，可以灭，可以烧。是好是坏，还不是要看看火烧得多猛吗？“神”可以救你一次；机会可以来几次；如果一再再的“不领情”，可能下次你一再再的“求神”，“神也不会再出现啦。。：）

反省吧。。

Scurvie goes RAW!

due to her severe skin scratching i take up advice from a rescuer friend and started doing research online.

scurvie love raw so much! i started with small amount on first day without bone. i wouldn't say im following the barf diet. I'm more to prey mode. but some times i do add some vege in her meal although it's not necessary anymore.

honestly i didn't like the smell of meat and now that i hv to handle so much meat feeding.. argh my skin began to crack from washing hands too often. i also get itchy from soap chemical react. hopefully this diet change can help her skin improve! I'd do anything!

Knit knit knit

loving lace pattern!

i NEED to knit when i'm angry, not happy, boring etc.. okay very negative but so far, lace is my favourite!

i have 3 project in hand. knowing i'm gonna teach again, i wanted to make myself a lace shawl (warm) so i put the waterfall lace (pic above) scarf aside and start working on the shawl. and upstair i'm working on my first cap (beanie). hopefully it fits my head. have already did one scarf for my cousie. that's for training but end up not too bad. it's a pebble stitch. no time to put up pattern method here but you can always check out on youtube type in pebble stitch or pretty stitch.

both wrong side and right side are pretty. so it's okay to make it wider and fold whatever pattern u like. from my work, i notice the border is not so neat. so wide is a good choice (just ma excuse) :P 

 this is the right side

made this wide and long. with economy milk aran. good for starter. i'm using needle 6.00mm.

okay sleep time. shall knit my beanie before bed. night night.

Late Sabrina Yeap (Mother of Stray) 1st death anniversary | 20th July 13

everytime i tell my friend or family i'm attending the ceremony their response is "wah so fast one year already?" yeah.. time flies..

it is also my first time to the Shelter Furry Friends Farm. after Sabrina left us. the volunteer and friends fight so hard to manage the shelter.

the great people who manages the farm when late Sabrina left.

along with other Dr Dogs members we all went to the ceremony to pay respect.

not easy to get the dogs to stay still for few minutes (many camera) but somehow the people who attended manage to snap many photos. here's the group of Dr Dogs and Sabrina's dog Kuning. 

Snowie trying to look out for me while all the people keep calling her name. She don't know what's the situation so end up look out from under Kuning's body.

 

Dr Sammy and Dr Snowie got tired because of the very hot weather. 

 

 i really hope that sabrina can see the flower from above. Flowers are meant for someone special, someone with a good heart. Thank you Sabrina for bringing this lovely program (Dr Dog) in to Malaysia. For helping the people, we help the dogs too :)

Love,
Handler Yi and Dr Snowie

Back to being a teacher ~

i've rotted at home for almost 2 months plus? i needed to do something. i admit i missed out an opportunity of being a vet assistant. after i lost it only i realize how much i miss having that job and i dreamed of myself going back to the vet to work 3 times in a week.

i've moved on. today is the first day back to teaching kids. Kids often gives me the creep but i always manage to handle them well (in class). today it's mandarin class. i'm teaching a group of Caucasian chinese.

i'm always working with Dogs dogs dogs. i have the habit of pointing a finger at the children and ask them to "Sit" when they are out of control. just like how i train my dogs. okay fine i always relate my post to dogs dogs dogs. in fact, kids are like dogs. just that they speak, and they are smart to tell you what they want and what they dont want.

i'm trying to get rid of "sit"-ing them. i really hate it. but it works so far. yet i still don't like it.

well, being unemployed is not a fun thing. staying home all day? No Way! there have to be a way. i know what i wanted. but i've lost it. it is very sad. every time i pass by a vet, i think of my offer given previously, which was way too low and unacceptable. they do not even want to negotiate. hmm.. what i can say is.. i'm expecting too well and getting all held up and ready for the job and suddenly "poof"! it's gone! i still remember the doctor telling me "see you soon" and me being so happy and excited for getting to work with animals soon.

okay.. cut the crap. my mistakes too.. i don't blame anyone but for real, if i have the opportunity again, i will never say No anymore.

Today i'm into Queen! will post a song here for everyone who read my boring post :P



let's remember queen for a sec ;)

Adopt don't buy!

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=428257537256992

watched this video on facebook. i already start crying when the first picture of puppy shown. i don't know who or how many people would actually click on it to watch the whole video.

dogs die and human still buying from the petshop. why won't they take a look in the shelter before going to the petshop? nowadays the dog lover you see might not even be a real dog lover. they are just breed lover. it's a hobby. no matter how many video of awareness posted, there are none that will care because what they really care is the breed, the blood, and how it looks like.

recently i watched a tv show about boxer (dog). i didn't know boxer have flap flop ears. the boxer i saw or have seen, are all pointy ears. this lady bring her boxer in, with an antenna attached to the ear. ears cut so and that stick is to make it stand. so that it makes the boxer look beautiful. it makes me wonder..didn't the lady love her when she first brought in that floppy ear dog? why cut it? is that to satisfy herself? probably just to pleased herself that the boxer is just like the other boxer.

really down writing this.. i guess i'll just stop here. it sucks to write about dogs. i love dogs so much and ends up i hated watching movies and shows about dogs. i wonder what can we do to change their world.. 

Sarcoptic Mange and Skin Problem | Home Remedies | Coconut Oil

If you notice my previous post, (just few post back, click it, click it, there you go), i was talking about home remedies for mange, and skin disease dog. I mentioned COCONUT OIL! Tadahhhhhhh!!!!! thats the one up there.

The first time i apply with bare hands. O.M.G! how can coconut oil be so smelly?????? sooner or later i start applying using disposable glove. Scurvie would lick all over the body. I let her take it since coconut oil is edible for dogs too. If you want to leave it then put her on E-Collar. Massage the oil into skin. leave it there.

Oh yes, it was in my previous post. I mentioned i sprayed apple cidar vinegar before applying. so it's smelly + smelly = Smelly.  ok i have to admit that i do not know if the apple cidar worked well. Before someone recommended coconut oil. i was using apple cidar vinegar only. i find that it ease itchness. So since no harm. i continued with apple cidar before applying coconut oil.

i only apply for 3 continuous days. then i thought of changing other remedies so i stopped. She have to be showered with Malaseb every 3 days. i was glad shower time is here. My mom helped clean the floor. everywhere is black and oily. it's difficult to clean. i suggest you place some disposable plastic before allowing your dog to sleep on it. even her leash..i soak in water for many days. rub with hands so that the dirts would come off.

OK ! too detailed on progress might scare you off. i'll let you know how it turns out to be.

This is her. A day or two after the shower. You can see that she look a little bit oily here and there (check the ears, and furs). Even after you comb and brush it, you can feel little oil on her body. That's NORMAL. Try soak your hair in coconut oil! ur gonna need long time to get it completely off. it's OIL!

This photo was taken before we went to vet, before we try coconut oil.

and this was taken during our trip to the vet. which was after 3 days of applying coconut oil. (sorry visual is abit blur, dog move really fast you know?). It can obviously be seen or feel. Her fur is richer. She who have really dry fur turns out that it feels more smooth and silky. yes i said "silky"!

this view is clearer of how rich the fur is. her fur around the ear seems abit "wet". it's not actually wet. i applied ointment in the ear so turns out the fur around the ear looks thick.

i get little advice from friends who also hated the smell of coconut oil. replace it with olive oil. but i didn't try it. since coconut oil is working, i'm gonna bet on that. but i didn't use it everyday. nowadays i apply a day before her shower day.

just keep the floor clean. once or twice i saw ants (black) crawling around where there's stain of coconut oil. so we'll have to wash and clean all the time.

love,
Yi

Parents & Work ~

It's been a long while since i last shouted at my parents. I never do. Because my patience to parents is so high that i can listen from left ear and detach from right ear.. or the system will block both ear canal.

I can't believe after so much calm days my shouting will be about colleague and work. i didn't wanna shout at all but both of them are nagging and one is raising his voice really high until i think i shouldn't keep quiet and let them know..i didn't backstab my colleague. If he is good, what ever i do won't hurt him at all.

In fact, as his head, his mistakes, lazyness and stubborn became my burden. i have one big boss, 10 other bosses pointing their arrows at me. Who to blame when the dead flowers are not removed? who to blame when the floor is dirty? who to blame when the newspapers are stacked high up to the air? not the staff! not the person who handles it. It's the person who handle the person who handles it!  <-- deep="" get="" i="" isn="" it="" mean="" nbsp="" p="" t="" what="">
i was so upset after all the shouting. i left. soon after i complained everything to my lovely sister, my mother came knocking the door. She told me that my dad support my decision whether to stay or to leave.

i had a bad day. since morning to night. everytime when my day is hard. someone came to say good words (caring words) i feel very touched. i did not cry. it's just..touched.. that's all..

the stress person should be me. i have a freaking long way to go~!(how i hope i'm 60 and married). Everytime my friend ask me why didn't i look for a boy to share my world i tell them my work and life is not stable yet as if i am a man. In fact, i couldn't bare the stress from two side.

Define Mysterious~

Another hour to end of work day. So demotivated. So i'm gonna write, blog, type ;P

Recently i'm being called "Mysterious". I don't want to name him but HE, is connected to my work.

or shall i say they? They've been thinking that i'm some kind of Mysterious girl. They think i hide alot of secrets. they think i cover up stuffs. They bring up this matter when i named my whatsapp I.D "KillerYi". They seems very shock that such young lady named herself that way. My first reaction is "damn i didn't even know its visible to all, i thought it was just an I.D." but then i thought, there's only one thing to describe their BIG BIG BIG SHock which is - Generation Gap-

The youngest in the group is about 4-5 years older than me.. the rest are in their 50s or 60s. So i often have to swallow everything that they cannot accept. Even a joke with some "youngster" words in it. or a message without a proper sentence of english *bow*. Sometimes i explain to them "Oh this is what we youngsters usually say right now" she'd reply " oh so your boss and i are old already". how should i reply next? i'll leave it to - NEVER DO YOUNG THING WITH THEM. STAY OLDDDDD ~~~

So back to full of secret self mysterious girl. Everytime when people wanted to say that, i feel saying DEFINE MYSTERIOUS. I have facebook like other people, i even have a blog and i blurt everything on it. I write everything on facebook. my photos are everywhere on the internet. YET i'm being called Mysterious just because i'm quiet. or probably there's other reason? i'll leave it to them to talk about it when i'm away ;P

I, like every other youngster, talks about anything everything to my friends. We share secrets. and the only reason we don't want to speak about certain topic, is when it's very sensitive. or i'm keeping secret of somebody. i believe that's ethic that we shouldn't share other's secret to anyone else.

Life just suck with people full of crap. geez *shrug*

finally, wish all a happy world stray animal day. shall go home to celebrate with my loving Scurvie <3 br="">

Sarcoptic Mange and Skin Problem | Home Remedies

*Scratch scratch scratch* How annoying is it; how sad to see my girl reinfected with mange again. We did no test under the scope tho.. i was so sad to see her fur all gone again. i wanted to talk to someone but every one is at work. i took a photo (photo above) and posted on her album.it's more of a "shoutout" about my disappointment of her horrible scratch under my care.

Somehow i get really useful comment from a rescuer named vivienne. We all knew..besides going to vet, we have our own home remedies for the rescues.

The fastest way is Borax Solution. Scurvie recovered from mange the first time with Borax Solution. where you mix borax and hydrogen peroxide in water (please find formula online as i've already forgotten how) and then spray them on the surface and clean area with it. The reason i stopped using it is because week before i found her four paws red. my first thought was Borax. I can't confirm whether that's the cause of it. but to be on the safe side, i stopped using it. i use it to wash the floor(surrounding) instead.

It's kinda hard to find Borax nowadays. the herb shop don't sell them anymore. so i start killing mange with boiling hot water. i wash the surrounding with boiling hot water.

Then it's COOKING OIL. i use cooking oil on Scurvie before. it works pretty well. quite fast too.

i also bought Spirulina, Cod liver oil, and Apple Cidar Vinegar. Scurvie didn't like Spirulina at all so i stopped feeding. Cod liver oil helps alot when it comes to skin issue. Obvious change of smoother fur ;) APPLE CIDAR VINEGAR - i take one part of Apple Cidar Vinegar with 9 part of water. spray them on the body to ease it's itchiness. It also helps keep flies away from the dog's body. Today i learned from Vivienne that Just apple cidar itself won't help much. It's best to followed by coconut oil/olive oil. Massage and rub it into the skin.

Another rescuer friend suggested to put a tablespoon in their food too. so i bought this bottle of virgin coconut oil and planning to try it tonight. we'll see how well it work.

It's painful to see her condition. so every time when i feel so disappointed i'd click into the first picture when i first captured her. the image brings me back to the first day she stays at my house. Flies all around as if she's a dead body. dandruff every where.

She's much better now compare to the first day she came in. It really require alot of patience and love. I've spent almost RM3k of medical bill on her. till recently a vet asked me "so you're keeping her". i said no. she asked "then what are u doing? what's all this?". i told her she will get adopted by good people. I went home and ask my sister. told her what the vet said to me. and i added " actually ya, i think i crossed the line". She add on "because you really "sayang"(care for) her". "guess so..."

in fact, when i first found her, she suffer from itchiness, mites. my intention is to get rid of her itchiness and put her back. didn't know a street dog would bring up so many problems. We then discovered 1. heartworm positive, 2. hypothyroid, 3. lost weight, 4. is she spayed?????

she's with me since august 2012. so it's 6-7 months. no heat no nothing. reinfected with mange. that's very bad where i need to start from zero again.

Pray hard for her recovery...If you're reading this, hope the little remedy tricks helps. do consult your veterinary if you have any doubts. I welcome all sorts of comments and advice. after all, we're all learning and it's good to hear from each other :)

Love,
Yi

Dr Dog visit to Hua Ming Autism Center | 04/03/13

Dr Dog is back in action. i've missed out the first visit at DUMC. On Monday coordinator Salehin and i brought our dogs to the Autism Center for another mission. this time, 3 dogs only. Dr Kylie, Dr Sammy and Dr Snowie.

It was long since our last visit. In between those period Dr Snowie somehow develop some princess behavior and totally forgotten about her job as a doctor. Monday's visit made her a little nervous and yes she barked few times at other Doctors. She became so accustomed to being a queen. I'm so glad she's back at work finally!

If you were there, you'd notice how the kids react to dogs when we first entered, and then leave. It's great to see how happy they were. the doctors done a really great job in cheering them. It's really a great therapy for these kids. 

My total visit to Autism center so far is 3 times. This girl was always there. Excited but she'd cover her ears and smile. I decide to let her walk Snowie. She's really happy. She'd hop with one leg while one of her finger stuff into the ear. :)

He's one of the younger group of kids. Compare to the previous group, they are so daring to approach the dogs. Then i heard one of the teacher/volunteer said "They don't know it's a dog". i find it make sense. In fact they might think it's something new. not even realize it's a dog. Beside me, the kid was pulling Dr Kylie's tongue, eye, she touches odd parts. while this kid play rough to Dr Snowie. or tend to put his face so close to Snowie stare at her, pull her ears and furs. He even move his own body to an allowing pose to lye on Snowie like she's a pillow. i find it quite interesting and the sentence "They don't know it's a dog" popped in my head again. :)

I've been really busy recently, working late and wake early in the morning. Sometimes i wanted to skip this or that activity and lay back in bed but Dr Dog visit is one of it that i will avoid pulling myself off. No matter how tired i am. i get myself up. for one reason, it's a very great program.

at the end of the visit to find the kids happy. at the same time, Snowie get to social more. It's an awesome therapy not only for the needy but also to me. i believe the ones that benefit most is the handler of the Doctors. So much to experience and it makes us happy to see others happy.

It's an honour to be able to join the Doctors to such wonderful mission. I'm so proud of my Snowie. Although tired after every mission, you did an awesome job! Love you!!!

Love,
Dr Snowie's handler, Pei Yi
