Sleeping With Dogs: 10 Signs You’re Doing It Wrong

save pizza, poor polar bear

The "world's saddest zoo" is in the Grandview Shopping Mall in Guangzhou, China. Polar bears, arctic foxes, beluga whales, a wolf, and walruses, are being kept in conditions that are so vastly removed from their natural habitat, they represent one of the most distressing examples of animal deprivation. Conditions at the Grandview do not even come close to meeting any internationally recognized standards.

where to adopt a dog?

Local shelters always have homeless animals looking for family. Since they are facing the risk of euthanasia when shelters are packed, please start with here. You can really save a life.

You can also visit local pet stores on weekends. They might have adaption events run by local rescue organizations.

Internet search can be the most convenient way; you can search anytime anywhere. Here are some links that might help:

she behaves

She was very quiet waiting for me to finish eating. When she just came to my place, she stole my food, and kept bugging me while eating. But now she can behave.

good job, los angeles!

Yes! It's really happening in LA!! I hope all shelters will become no-kill shelters one day.

Saving Carson Shelter Dogs

Although some other shelters can hold a dog up to a few months, this shelter near my area has to euthanize only in a few days from arrival due to lack of space. It's just so sad and cruel... :(

Today we have millions of homeless animals just because human dumped them. Human should be the one to pay for it, not animals.

he likes her!

He is Marley living in our neighborhood. He used to bark at us, but very friendly now.



As you can see from the photo, he likes my dog. But she seems to be not interested in him...

omg! she has fleas!!

This winter was very warm in Los Angeles. I found the first flea in the beginning of January, and kept killing a few more in February when the temperature was like the summer.

Some dog owners around me recommended Frontline Plus, topical treatment applying on the back side of neck, worked the best. It is less expensive than pill treatment. It actually worked very good for the first few days; I did not see any fleas on her. 

Comforts, pill treatment, is the one I am giving her now as her vet recommended. This is a lot more expensive than topical treatment. But as researching on the internet, some people reported the side effect, vomiting after taking the pill. To prevent this, I was told to give a half pill with wet food in the morning and the rest in the evening also with wet food. So far it has been working very well.

Mimi: Mommy, I think you have forgot to feed me.



Me: You have forgot you just ate.

I bought her one size bigger crate a while ago. Now she has more room to stretch out herself in there.

It is her second one because I felt the first one was bit small for her. Choosing the right size of crate online was little difficult.
