Thinking of getting Corgi foelr my next companion Corgis are adorable but they have a lot of health issues so be aware of that! Plus usually have to get them from a breeder. Ever thought of adoption? Might not be your favourite breeds but those are dogs that deserve homes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose the dog and resigned.. It is not that complicated to bring a dog overseas, especially to Europe. You just have to make sure you have all the vaccination records etc. ready, and depending on the country, some countries don't even require quarantine as long as your dog meets all the requirements. I know Italy is easy as I have friends who brought their dog with them when they went to Lake Como recently. No quarantine at all. Quote Love.

notd Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Lost my German Shepard this Tuesday morning due to gastric volvulus. Went away peacefully in its sleep. Can definitely relate. Perhaps it's grief talking, but every time I walk through my gate now, I pause and stand at the little opening, waiting for my dog to come out to greet me and sniff around. It no longer happens. A friend of mine said, it sucks that we have to go through a painful episodes with our dogs to learn more about them. I wholeheartedly agree.

Steve5380 Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 When we were a family, my wife wanted to have a dog mainly for the children, and we got a nice Dalmatian. When we separated, my wife left the dog behind "because she hadn't fully bonded with it", and so I took loving care of the nice pet until it passed away. This episode made me weight the benefits of a loving animal versus the responsibility of giving it a good life. Since I love myself very much, I don't need the company of a pet who loves me and adores me as a god. Instead, I got a boyfriend, ha ha. Now that my bf has passed away, I am by myself again, but I enjoy my solitude. And I take good care of myself. I will see what the future brings to my side again, if anyone.

Why? Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I love to have a dog.......BUT To think of its body odor, bad breath and poor toilet manner, deters the thought of adopting one.

How did you guys manage so well? Please convince me. Actually, dogs smell really nice if you shower them properly. If you love someone, you will also embrace any shortcomings including bad breath. I have heard many success stories of having dogs toilet-trained. So far my one and only was easily trained within a month or so. Then again, if you have issues with what you have mentioned, it’s best not to adopt or buy one because once relationship is established even within a short time, it can be hurting for both parties if you decide to let it go after regretting your decision. It’s pretty much a long term commitment. Steve5380 1 Quote Be cool, like a breeze... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nop Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 I feel like Singaporean are not natural pet lover. Compared to American. Can see the dogs really love their American families? In Singapore I usually see like the maid walk the dog. Or when it's the owner who walked the dog. Can feel like there is a master slave relationship. Not like those American the feeling is more like leader and pack relationship. Its weird. I think Singaporean are not good in expressing love in general. American more verbal. Change tone when talk to dog. Rub them. Play with them. Singapore own pet is more like "I paid alot to own you. You are meant to make me happy. So obey" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have at home many possessions that belonged to my late bf, who passed away four years ago, and I do now alone activities that we used to do together. But little by little the grief is subsiding, and what used to bring tears to my eyes now elicit my smile, with the memory of some happy moment of the past.

Can see the dogs really love their American families? Not like those American the feeling is more like leader and pack relationship. It isn't quite accurate, and there's a reason why, in my world view opinion. In America, dogs function as "playthings" and guardians of the family, especially a source of amusement for those who live in suburbia. Their dog has more space to roam, look more active and happy as a result. Not to mention the owner and pet smell similar since both don't shower regularly.Thus the strong bond is forged naturally. Due to a lack of space, dogs in Singapore just coexist with the rules that pet owners must follow in order to maintain their pet. Thus, it seems that dogs and their owners in Singapore do not have a lot of freedom to do what dogs are surpposed to do, like running, playing and barking. Many owners, just perfunctoritly took them out to pee and poop before shutting them indoor again. Due to owner's work, committment, the bonding was given to the exhausted maid to look after them Therefore, most dogs will appear fat, lathargic, and more jaded. which is not sign of ill-treatement but restricted activities. I will not be surprised the dog will protect the maid rather than its owner eventually. Edited September 4, 2022 by Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats can fit in a large apartment. But small apartments should only accommodate smaller pets that need less walking around. Like goldfish.
