cuculu .... our new puppy....

Mrs.K who I have registered as a contemporary foster family took me to the Osaka animal control center this morning to pick up (rescue) a puppy which is dumped...

there are more 20 dogs that are waiting to be killed by gas....

cuculu , I named him, means "heart" in Okinawan language

cuculu is soooo friendly and cute... !!!!!

after I took him home, I bathed him...

he was a good boy !!!!!

he let me to shampoo his body.. and

he didn't get angry with me wherever I touched...

I gave him some snacks... he could do "sit" and "wait"...

not paw though....

he is curious about our home so much and

he keeps sniffing and walking around...

also, plays with an animal stuff..

he is alike our former puppy "mush"...

I tried to put him in the cage

while I went shopping down here for 20 min...

I wanted to check if he would bark or not...

he didn't bark so badly...

right after I put him in the cage,

he sounded sad...

but few minutes later, he got quiet...

when I came home, I stood in front of the door for a while to know

if he barked...

but I couldn't here his barking voice.. Great !!!!!

when I sit in front of my pc, he jumps onto my laps

and bothers me doing pc things...

so I say him...

Behave yourself... don't bother me working on pc..

be a good boy !! otherwise,

I have to let you down from my laps...

then, he behaves himself... !!!!!

he is such a nice dog...

I think everyone would love him...

I can't believe he was dumped by his owner...

too bad.... too sad...

I bet...

when my girls get home, they would love him so much... !!!!!

off course, we take care of him and make him happy as much as we can...

our puppies....

after my favorite Ren has gone,

we welcomed some puppies ....

one of them was Mash who was such a genki boy...

he was such a good boy ... he sometimes missed his business

on sheet though...

he loves playing with us

he eats a lot...

he loves walking outside...

he is curious with anything...

it was so quick to find a foster family...

I think everyone who sees him would love him for sure...

the other is Daigo who is very heavy...

he is such a cute boy... but he barks a lot

when he was alone....

then he was panic and he did his business anywhere...

on the couch, on the carpet...

made mess everywhere...

kicked out the chair es, pulled the dining table....

Give me a break !!!!!

so, I couldn't keep him here...

poo and pee, no problems...

I just clean them up...

but kept on barking while I was out....

not good.....

my neighbor said to me , one day...

your puppy barks so much...

well...

I felt soooo sorry for Daigo...

but I couldn't let him stay here...

zero

during ceremony of my second daughter

zero had gone to his the new family..

he was naughty boy and always made a mess in our living room

but.

now it is such a quiet house without him and

I miss him soooo much..

just tears come out of my eyes...



I really wish he would have a lot of happy time with his new family

until his lives ended...

castration

our temporary dog , zero , got castrated yesterday...
after he got home, he threw up and he was not genki...
but..
as he didn't eat and drink anything for almost 24 hours,
he had some food and lot of water even if he was not genki...
this morning,
he seemed sooooooo bad...
he was not genki at all...
he didn't eat his food at all...
and he didn't played around in the living room ...
I gave him some pain cular and antibiotic ..
I thought he felt pain so that he was not genki...
after I got home from my work for lunch,
he jumped and got back his energy to welcome me home....
I felt relieved to see his cheerful behavior...
he has been sooooo naughty since this afternoon
he barks a lot, he tries to get something on the table to eat... such as
bread.... snacks.... what so ever....
he plays around with my girls...
what a messy and naughty boy.... !!!!!
but that's what I like most...
however, he's going to the foster family day after tomorrow...
we'll miss him so much because he has been here for a month...
he stays with us longer than any puppies...
thinking of his happiness, it is good to be with his new family so that
they would care of him well as long as he lives...

cool dog

my American friend sent me this story....

this is great !!!!!

This is a story about a dog who was born on Christmas Eve, 2002.
He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which needed to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him. He was rejected and scorned. His first owner also did not think that he could survive.

Therefore , he was thinking of putting him to sleep.. At this time , his present owner Jude Stringfellow came into his life and wanted to take care of him.

She was determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. She thought , all we need is a little faith. Therefore she named him 'Faith.' In the beginning , she put Faith on a surf board to let him feel the movements of the water. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and to reward him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dogs at home helped to encourage him to walk. Amazingly , after only 6 months , like a miracle , Faith learned to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow , he can now walk like a human being.

Faith loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes , he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared in various newspapers and TV shows. There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about him He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.His present owner Jude Stringfellow has given up her teaching job and plans to take him around the world to preach , 'that even without a perfect body , one can have a perfect soul.'




In life, there are always undesirable things. Perhaps a person who feels things are not going as well as they could will feel better if they change their point of view and see things from another perspective.Perhaps this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone. Perhaps everyone can appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day that follows.Life is the continual demonstration of the power of thinking positive and having faith. Believe in yourself. Never lose faith!
