Hello there all dog lovers!
Hi, was browsing thru the net and found this site. Kinda new with this. Used to have dogs but since they all 'went to heaven' and I moved into an apartment, I can't rear dogs anymore. I really really really do miss having them around. Maybe some of you will be kind enough to let me spend some time with your dogs ya Blush.....

Well, dunno what I should be posting here.. will keep myself updated and hope to get involved Wink ... Have a nice day ahead!!

Hi guen,

sorry to hear you can't have dogs in your apartment. that's the problem with strata living Mad

maybe you would like to spend some time with the dogs at spca or paws, (besides any of those here) i'm sure they will welcome some companion Smile

Re: [guenhwyvar] Hello there all dog lovers!
Dear guenhwyvar,

Welcome! What breed of dogs did you own the last time? I am sure you can curi-curi rear a dog in your apartment. Just make sure you get a quiet one. I once stayed in a low-cost apartment in Selayang. There was a family who owned a spitz. And our area was predominantly a Malay area. The family had no problem with the management or the Malays. The owner even walked her dog. But she did it early in the morning before everyone wakes up. And she made it a habit to pick up the shit. Having your own dog is so different from spending time with someone else's dog. However, if all else fail for you to own a dog, you can visit SPCA or PAWS and play with the puppies or dogs there. They are so lonesome.

Re: [hoyf] Hello there all dog lovers!
Used to have all BIG breeds. Dont think i can CURI or HIDE them in anyway ... Used to have a Neapolitan Mastiff, A German Shepherd and also a white Shepherd and a Labrador. Moreover, I think keeping a dog inside an apartment is not so suitable ... not enuf space for the dog to move around ...

Yeah .. I know ... having my own is definitely the best and i really really really do miss spending time with dogs. Even watching dogs on movies make me soooo GERAM.

Re: [guenhwyvar] Hello there all dog lovers!
Dear guenhwyar,

Wow! You owned big dogs. So it is not practical to stuff them into an apartment!

Movies? I too love to watch movies about dogs. I collect good VCDs about dogs. Have you watched "Because of Winn Dixie"? It's a very uplifiting story about a dog and his owner. I recommend that you watch it. Better than "Eight Below".

Of course you can go play with the dogs at PAWS. When I was at PAWS one day, I met an Indian man who drives a delivery van. It was lunch hour and he told me whenever he passes by PAWS during his free time, he will stop to play with the dogs. The dogs were so excited to see him. When he went into the enclosure that houses many adult dogs, those dogs practically jumped around him. Each wanted him to stroke it. His T-shirt and pants were all fur and paw prints when he got out after playing with them. They were so fond of him. His love for dogs were unconditional. Then he played catch-and-fetch with a few other dogs loitering outside the enclosure. He told me how his faithful dog had starved himself to death because it refused to stay at PAWS. This man had to house his dog at PAWS when he had to move from a squatter to a flat which disallowed rearing of dogs. He visited his dog everyday trying to coax him to eat but the dog refused. He had tears when he related the story of his dog. Because of his dog which died of a broken heart, this man has refrained from eating rice in memory of his dog. He only takes noodles, kuih teow, bread or capati, no rice. So sad.

So please go to PAWS to be with the dogs. The puppies are housed in kennels near to the office.

Re: [irenec] Hello there all dog lovers!
Hi Irenec,

I used to visit PAWS. I didn't help out then. I only went to the back portion of PAWS to be with the adult dogs. I was surprised. They practically lined up just to let me pat/stroke their head. There was one particular dog (mongrel with long snout like a doberman's) who longed for touch so much that he refused to move to let other dogs be touched by me. Luckily my hand was thin enough to go through the hole of the fence to reach out to them. One spitz kept barking at me but finally he calmed down and came nearer and nearer the fence and finally he allowed me to touch him. I think once they can sense that we meant no harm they will trust us.

I go more often to SPCA as they have more puppies and thus I think they need more hands. If you are at PJ do visit the lonesome dogs/puppies.

Re: [hoyf] Hello there all dog lovers!
Hi hoyf, it's really sad to hear about the dogs...I have to admit I don't know much about their situation until recently when I joined this forum and get to know more...

Now hearing from you about that doberman, it's just so sad...Yes, I'll do just that, PAWS isn't that far away for me.

Thanks for sharing it here.

Re: [irenec] Hello there all dog lovers!
Dear irenec,

Good to hear that you are considering to visit the dogs at PAWS. Strike while the rod is hot! The ones that are in need of visit most are the adult dogs. I don't think people would want to adopt adult dogs. I believe these dogs were dumped there when their owners migrate or have to move to an apartment/condominium. Some are pure breeds. Have a look at those housed at the back portion -- spitz, GSD, doberman. They really longed for human affection. Each of us can play our minor role there. It makes a lot of difference to the dogs.

Re: [hoyf] Hello there all dog lovers!
Thanks alot hoyf. Will definitely check out the movie u mentioned, "Because of Winn Dixie". Like what Irene said, the story of the man that has refrained from eating rice in memory of his dog .. is really touching. I know how heart broken one felt when his/her beloved dog passed away. I have been through this .. not once but 4 times Frown ....

I will find time and spread a little love to the dogs at PAWS .. . I am really glad that I joined this portal. Thanks alot!

Re: [guenhwyvar] Hello there all dog lovers!
Dear guenhwyvar,

I'm glad that you will go to PAWS to be with the lonesome dogs. Yes check out "Because of Winn Dixie". It's a children's show but I find it equally appealing to adults. My colleague's children (Malay) enjoyed the show so much that they kept watching and watching. So my colleague intends to buy one. She's afraid her children will spoil my VCD. Yes, I empathise and sympathise with the Indian man. I have been through such heartache 8 times. I am now owning my 9th dog. You're welcome.

Dear Irene,

Death is inevitable when there is birth. When my last dog died of a stroke I told myself that he will be the last dog I own. He died after 5 days, while I was at work. My brother witnessed him die. His will to live was so strong. Well I did not hold on long to my promise as I got my present dog 2 years later. Can't live without a dog as I am so mad about them!

Re: [irenec] Hello there all dog lovers!
Hi Irene,

Because of Winn Dixie is a simple story with many invaluable life lessons. It is about how a girl's life became more colourful when a stray dog walked into her life. This story is very similar to our life's story. How our life has been enriched with the advent of our dog. So go watch the VCD/DVD. I don't think this movie will ever be shown in the cinema. It does not have the thrills and suspense like contemporary movies.

I thought it looks like a basset hound but couldn't be sure...my knowledge of dog breeds are limited.

If you can convince your bf to get it, that would be nice. At least you have a dog to look forward to Smile

I'm not sure how else you can post your pics here if you have already tried attaching it. There is a size limit for the pics. You can try re-sizing or photobucket ie copy and paste.

I'm not very good at all these myself. If I recall correctly, you have to go to "Post New' which appears on the top right hand corner of the Posting screen. That is you can find the attachment icon at the bottom left.

But why don't you try uploading to photobucket and then cut and paste from there.

Re: [guenhwyvar] Hello there all dog lovers!
I'm sure your white shepherd will be happy when he sees you are happy again. Life has to go on. But I thought you live in an apartment and you find the space too limited for a dog. By you adopting a puppy/dog from PAWS or SPCA, one life will be spared. I understand that if they are not adopted within a certain time frame, due to a lack of space, they will be put to sleep.

Dear Guen,

I have a friend who is a dog rescuer who is now fostering a labrador mix. It's a female and very quiet. My friend said the dog is suitable for a flat dweller. You may be interested in this puppy. Very adorable. I think she is coming to 4 months now. However, this dog rescuer will interview the potential adopter first and also inspect the house. This is to ensure that the dog will be given to a loving family. If you are interested please give me your contact number and I will get this pet rescuer to contact you. Thank you.

Dear hoyf,

Thank you so much for the info on the 4mths old lab. I would love to have her but just abit worried about the space. I used to have a lab. A full grown adult needs quite some space and I am worried I won't be able to provide it to her when she grows up. As a puppy I have no doubt she could fit in just fine.

Anway, I would like to see this puppy and talk to the rescuer for advice, if, I am able to keep her. My contact no. is 019-3163999 and the name is Rave.

Thanks again hoyf!!

Dear guenhwyvar,

May i know where did you get your white shepherd? Can you introduce a breeder for me? I have been looking around for quite some time. The nearest i found was in Sarawak, which is still quite far away.

Thanks!
