Ever tried bringing ur dog 2 d nite market? Hv been 2 d 1 in SS2-Chow Yang a few times n d stalls, noise, smell, flavors n crowd had my JRT somewhat hesitant yet pleasantly surprised 2 want 2 continue snooping around. Things 2 b aware of 4 when visiting market with mutt: 1. Try not 2 go during peak hrs unless u really wanna test ur dog’s temperament - traffic after 10pm is kinder. Stick 2 markets in Chinese areas. 2. With d crowd, always place ur mutt on tight leash n heeled close 2 u. With small dogs, u hv to b careful bout other people walking all over him. Look out 4 really crowded sections whereby u may hv 2 pull aside n wait 4 people 2 pass through 1st. With large dogs, d crowd is less forgiving n it’s more difficult 2 find enof leg room, hence u may hv 2 visit near closing time when d crowd has dispersed somewhat. 3. Watch d leash, don’t allow it 2 b tangled amongst d sea of legs, tables n stalls. 4. Watch out 4 beggars lying in d middle of d pathway. 5. Watch out 4 generators, dogs generally don’t like d sound n vibration n will take some time 2 b accustomed. Walk on other side of road, if necessary. 6. Watch out 4 tempting fried goodies, dont allow ur dog 2 sniff around d food n hot woks. 7. Watch out 4 patrons who go in2 hysterics when dey c a live furry animal at market 4 d 1st time. 8. Watch out 4 d smart ass hawker who tries 2 communicate with ur mutt d old fashioned way – really loud ‘WOOF! WOOF! MEOW! MEOW!’ D usual rules on bringing ur dog 2 public places apply - clean, toilet trained n calm at all times. After a few visits, ur dog will learn how 2 walk amongst d sea of legs n skillfully manouvre d crowd. It’s a good socializing opportunity 2 get ur dog accustomed 2 different sounds n d atmosphere. Also, d look on people’s faces can b quite entertaining. Caution: Dont try this till ur dog hv been around a fair bit n is absolutely familiar with noise, people n commotion. Groovy, ‘What’s d latest pirated DVD doggie movie on sale ah?’ __________________________________________________
