Indulgent?

It seems almost indulgent to have a blog that centres around a dog. Really?

In Hong Kong dogs are no longer called pets, they are called companion animals. They want to elevate the status of dogs in the families of Hong Kongers. In Singapore, we're far less advanced, lets not even talk about labels. There are too few places that allow pets oops companion animals to enter. There aren't that many dog friendly cafes, or that many dog friendly parks either. So a Singaporean dog has to really contend with spending a huge portion of its life in a 5 room HDB flat.

Anyway, is this really a blog about a dog? Maybe, but I think its more about how our lifes have been changed/ influenced/ enlightened by the presence of another creature in it. Hence its really a blog about our lives. Our dog's lives chronicles aroud ours. How we live our lives determines how she would live hers. So its not quite a blog about a dog, its a blog about a pair of novice dog owners I would say.

And when you feel a tad bit down and frustrated, somehow the smile of a dog, that knows its life is in your hands, is just that much more endearing.

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” (Mahatma Gandhi)
