Dogs, Dog Owners, Dog Toes and Kuih Kodoks

I just received a comment from a resident that a dog owner uses her / his dog's paw (toes) to push the lift button. Ah ya, what has is world come to, press the lift button with your own finger also cannot ah? And not sure if the dog's paw got sh*t (will refer "sh*t" as "kuih kodok" from now onwards) or not. Actually dogs and other domestic pets are best not kept in the apartments or small space. Moreover, they need space to run and be in their natural habitat. I am not a pet doctor nor I can talk to animals, but ask yourself if you want to be kept this way, as a dog. If I was a dog, I would run around in a big compound, bark at the slightest thing and probably chase cars (not sure why they do that, but it looked like fun).

I would be miserable confined in a 1200 square foot space, with nothing to bark at, even if I bark, I have to bark softly because my master taught me so. When I need to "go", my "kuih kodok" will probably be deposited on a old newspaper, near the toilet or in the toilet. My master will probably be mad if I did it during lunch or dinner time. So, you see, put yourselves in your pet's shoes, I mean paws, and try to feel how they feel.

Well, some residents may say, "Ah ya Jimmy, you don't know la, you don't have a dog". Well, dear residents, you are very wrong, we had two Rottweilers in our house in KL. So, I lebih kurang can advise lah.

So far, there is not much barking heard during the night or dog "kuih kodok" littering the compound of Pearl Garden, but yet it is best that dog owners adhere to hygienic practise such as removing their pet's "kuih kodok" as soon as they do their stuff, especially when their pets do it on the field or pavement.

In the early mornings and late in the night, I noticed stray dogs wandering near the swimming pool. Not sure where they come from, but we all need to be cautious when confronting them. Nevertheless, they will just run away the second they see us. But still...be cautious.

Anyway, an information which was extracted from PG Residents' Guide Book about keeping pets as stated below:-

Residents' Guide Book (page 25) states under sub-heading of:-

"Considerate" - "No pets are allowed/permitted in any parts of the premises that it can cause nuisance to other owners."

Ox, Dragon, Goat and Dog - Trouble Zodiacs

Those born under the zodiacs of Ox, Dragon, Goat and Dog will have to undergo a ritual to remove the obstacles that are hindering the incoming of good health, wealth and prosperity. The ritual took about 5 minutes and the lady was chanting in Hakka, half of it I do not understand because she was too fast but mostly because I did not brush up my Hakka as well. Yesterday, I was “rectified” and do I feel better? Well, time will tell.
