Puppy Mills Kill Kindness on Earth

When I was a little girl, my ankle once was bitten by our family dog. I don't remember why she bite me, but I will never forget that her name was Lassie, her fur was black and white, and she was a pekingese. I've never hated nor been afraid of her or any other dogs because of the incident, I love the creature still.

They're cute, witty, but if I must pick one from many good qualities that usually dogs possess, then I choose dog's willingness to help. Some anomalies do exist, such as dogs who bite without reason or savage dog who killed or injured others, I really hope I will never meet one like that!

Back to my pick -dog's willingness to help, this heartwrenching video really depicts that quality. I've already read about the story in a newspaper months ago, but found the video just today. It's about a stray dog who helped another stray dog who was hit by a car on a highway in Chile.



Normal dogs -like dolphins- seem inherited instinct to help others in need. Pity that some people still see dogs (and dolphins) as food, and pity that some dogs are treated badly like those puppies in Puppy Mill. After seeing an article about Puppy Mills, I began to think maybe that's why ferocious dogs exist. The puppies are born and breed in a terrible condition where they're not considered as living creature, but simply as commercial items. The mills are always dirty, jam-packed by too many puppies in one cage, and lack of care. Some puppies survive, some don't. Some will grow to be normal dogs, and some will become who I define as troubled dogs :-\

I decide to join The Puppy Mill Link Exchange Project (thanks to Kelvin) to prevent the existence of savage dogs and to save those little 'angels on Earth'.

I hope many bloggers also join this movement and place the badge and article on their blogs to spread the words. Remember......

For Sammy who deserves lots of love

Today when I visit blogcatalog, one of the thread tells me to visit a link about Sammy's story. Maybe because I have a very weak heart for dogs, I couldn't continue to watch the following video yet. It's too sad, made my head hurts.

It would be wasting time to question how could someone do bad things to such a loving creature while in fact there have been many stories about dogs' valours in helping humanity.

So this case is just one example of terrible cruelty. Very sad.
Nevertheless, dog's survival ability and its life spirit are amazing.
Sammy is really an inspiration.
I hope Sammy will now always get all love that he deserves.
He will never be able to see again, but he sure can live much better with much love.

Please help spreading this video of Sammy.



See how Sammy looks now in the care of Noah's Ark Rescue, and he still needs some help.

Dog Island in an Abandoned Blog

Tonight I remembered my long forgotten oldest blog and visited it.
Pitas, the blog provider, still keeps it online. My last post there is dated Saturday, August 23, 2003, which is almost five years and two months ago. Unfortunatelly, I can't remember my password there and I forgot which email I used for the registration.
Anyway, I'm glad Pitas doesn't delete my blog because this website that I link there is very cute :-D. Have a look.
Wuff..Wuff...

I can't imagine if The Dog Island really exists. I doubt if dog's lovers could live apart from their dogs, I can't. I don't think the dogs prefer to be away from their human friends either. The Dogologist should have considered this too. So what about a Dog's Owner Island as its neighbouring island?
The Dog Island is quite a funny site, it offers free of charge services for every accepted dog. The money is made available by some big hearted rich people and by the special package of Vacation Island that's marketed for the poshy dogs and their rich people. There's a hilarious disclosure concerning the Vacation Island:
We apologize to not offer this to poor people but it takes an enormous amount of money to afford this type of beauty. If you are interested in rates please email SuniCopey@TheDogIsland.com

Dog is a god?

dog house with carport?

Unquestionably according to Hollywood, All dogs go to Heaven, but for sure as much as I love this benevolent creature, dog is not a God with a capital letter.

Dog is a god is only a name of dog's houses design made by an Italian designer, Marco Morosini. I learned about him after my friend Chaterina forwarded me an email containing some cute pictures of dog houses with "travel dog's house" written on each picture.

As a dog lover, it's impossible for me not to google the words "travel dog's house" after seeing some of these following photos...

A Valentine Campaign

More to Me Declaration BadgeA comment that I just received tonight for my "Play to save Shelter Pets" posting has reminded me about it. I went to visit the site and played the trivia, and this time I signed up myself there.
I just realised that the site name is Experience Project, and it's not only about those misfortunate shelter pets, but there are a lot more projects.

One of them is about More to me campaign. Probably lots of you have heard about people, especially models who are very skinny because they're pressed by their societies, and this even has taken some young souls out of this world forever. Very sad.

So if anyone want to have a more meaningful Valentine celebration, please think about those young girls' who have lost their souls because of the wrong perception of beauty.

Support programs promoting healthy body image for girls. SIGN NOW to get the attention of policymakers!

Happy Valentine to you all and don't leave the shelter pets too this valentine ;-) play the trivia for free to help them. Grazie

Play to Save Shelter Pets

It says that every correct answer feeds a hungry shelter dog or cat. So please, spare a little time to help those poor animals by playing the trivia.

I went to an animal shelter twice. I saw many dogs and cats there, for me as a dog person, all dogs are cute and for the cat person, all the cats there must be cute too.
I could hardly believe that people have heart to leave those pets there, for goods.
I spoke to the staff there about some Siberian Huskies that I saw there, he said they were left by an expatriate who went back to his own country for good.
Poor dogs, after the honeymooney times they're just left behind.
Why would someone buy pet/s if at the end left the pet/s?
Dog is a very faithful creature, they will be very sad if they must separate with their human.

My friend once adopted a dog which was left by his human who's back to his country. This dog was very friendly but quiet. One day my friend took the dog to dog salon to get groomed, as he was leaving the salon the dog suddenly went howling frantically and trying hard to follow him. It's really moving, seemed that the dog was scared to be left again.

Rejoice all the dogs

Shop Snootypets Everyday!!
I don't know how and why I love dogs a lot, and even though when I was a kid I was bitten by Lassie -my first dog- once, that has never traumatized me. This fondness of dogs somehow puts me in misery every time I hear bad things happen to dogs.

But I'm dog-less now, simply because I still can't bear to lose a dog after -on 22 January- three years ago I lost Zippo. I had lost 4 dogs to death before Zippo, but all the four dogs –except Kam Kam- died because of old age. Kam Kam died at the age of 3.5 months, after a small quarrel with the 8-years old Jenghis, my other dog. No, Jenghis didn't bite him, but it seems the quarrel had dispirited Kam Kam, and what made it worst was that we took him to a wrong vet. I said a wrong vet, because when we brought Kam Kam there he tried to sell us a puppy. We said no because we already had 2 dogs but he kept insisting. Who wouldn't get annoyed when taking a sick puppy to a vet and the vet, instead of taking care of the puppy first, he’s offering another puppy for sale. He gave two injections for Kam Kam and the next day Kam Kam passed away. Later I heard horror stories about that vet from my friends, but thank God not long after his place was closed for good.
It's tragic that Kam Kam died at a very young age, but at least he didn't look suffered.

Zippo died at the age of 13, and he died in pain because of a malignant tumour :-(
Once a vet said that Zippo had a strong heart, means he's a very strong and healthy dog, that before he got the tumour. Even when he's sick and hospitalized, it needed 4 men to tame him.

Here are the dogs who used to fill my life with lots of laughs:
Lassie – a mixed-Pekingese, went to dog heaven at the age of 3 years
Condore von Nakia – a boxer, went to dog heaven at the age of 8 years
Bruno von ? - a boxer, we only got him for a month and we returned him back to the kennel because he's limping and the kennel knew how to take care of him better. He's around 2 months young.
Kam Kam von Kalaidoskop – a boxer, went to dog heaven at the age of 3.5 months
Broni von Bangun Baru a.k.a Jenghis – a boxer, went to dog heaven at the age of 10 years
Zippo – a mixed Labrador, went to dog heaven at the age of 13 years.

Now, for the question "Do dogs go to Heaven?"
Read this religious story from Pope of the Pope!

Barbaric Trade!!!!!


If only I didn't love dog, I wouldn't feel very sick about dog and cat fur industry in China.
About how they brutally skin alive those (have long been known as) domesticated animals. For some people they're not just animals, but they are also best friends and helpers.
In many countries people rely on dogs to do some important jobs.
In China they skin alive dogs and cats, and send their furs also to USA and Europe markets.

Sure, somebody can argue that some animals could be as domesticated as dogs and cats and can also be labeled as companion animals.
But I always see dogs as somewhat different. They are sincere, intelligent and most of all they kinda have this special bond with human that makes them seem to always want to protect human.

There's a story I watched on Animal Planet about a dog who rescued a kid who was totally a stranger to the dog.
They only met sometimes when his master took him for a walk and passed this little girl's house. The little girl and her Mom didn't like dog at all and would shun immediately once the dog and his master passed by, although the dog's master always greeted them.
One day, there was a big earthquake and the girl was alone and scared to dead inside her house. She was crying and no body was around. Just when the cupboard (or the wall) behind her was about to fall down, suddenly that dog came to rescue her, alone!
No one could understand what power that brought the dog to come and save her at the right time, though they live some distance apart.
That is just one story amongst uncounted stories about dogs' merits towards human.
Some cats, although very few also have been heard as saviours to their human companions.

So how could I am not mad about dogs and cats slaughtering in China?
Especially when they are killed brutally, I mean, by skinning them alive? :-(((

Of course pigs, sheep, chickens, etc also have been known as saviours to human, in term of providing us meat to eat.
But have you ever heard about a pig, sheep, or goat who guides a blind man?
Who can detect cancer?
Who can help epileptic seizures sufferers?
Who can save a boy from tsunami?
Who help the police busted drugs smugglings?

Killing dogs is like killing sincerity!

Please sign the petition against it now!
Spread it up!

Maybe you should be careful now when you buy some dolls or fur stuffs made in China!

I'm very sorry to friends/ people from China who read this blog, I'm only against those barbaric thing.
