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,

Snowie can swim!!

It was Pixie's birthday!!

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

look at her.. she's swimming very well now .. love it!!

also, it's happy to see first timer dogs swim. i always encourage owners to bring their dogs for a swim. it's good for joint, health etc..

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,
