Golden retriever pup needs help! 小黃金獵犬需要幫忙

2010/01/14 00:43:00

I got a message asking me to help find this adorable Golden Retriever pup a good home...I am sure we can find someone to open up their hearts and home to this sweet puppy. Not even 6 months old yet, a great age to start training!

剛剛看到個網友留言給我，請我幫這個可愛的黃金獵犬找一個好家庭。。。我相信有人會想認養這麼sweet的小黃金獵犬。還不到六個月大，現在開始養開始訓練很棒喔！

發現我拍了蠻多我小孩子的照片，都還沒跟大家分享。。。這些照片就是我幾個小孩子（出了我的隱秘貓咪，她比較低調哈哈）在家裡很輕鬆在過日子。哎呦，我好疼愛他們，因為他們生命前面幾年過的太辛苦可憐，現在給他們一個幸福的家庭是個讓我很開心的事！

CNR with Lilian

2009/11/14 16:58:00

Last week Lilian and I went to have a CNR day. For those of y'all who don't know, CNR is Catch Neuter and Release. It's the best option so far to reduce the issue of stray dogs without using euthanasia. Since AT is no-kill, we support these methods, since otherwise, the stray dog population will just increase, leading to more dogs being leg-trapped, poisoned, etc. 上個禮拜我跟Lilian花了一整天當CNR. CNR是Catch-Neuter-Release 的意思. 我們會去外面抓流浪狗狗帶他們去看病結扎,然後之後把它們放回他們原本的地方. 這樣比撲殺好很多,而且如果不這樣流浪狗狗越來越多,然後被其他人毒死,殺掉,虐待,等等...我們協會是不殺,所以我們會做這種比較和平方式去解決問題.

Since we decided to start in the wee hours of the morning, I decided to forgo sleep for fear of not being able to wake up haha. At 5something in the morning we got started. Borrowed a construction truck and went out with Lilian to Danshui to catch dogs, with a truck of dogs and cats plus our own shelter dogs that needed to see the vet, we drove out to XIzhi to take them to get neutered and vaccinated, etc. Waited until evening, then proceeded with our animals to Muzha, Beitou, XIzhi, and the other dropoff places to send them to their respective destinations.

因為要凌晨開始所以我那天都沒睡一晚怕會起不來,干脆就不要睡吧哈哈...我們從獸醫那邊借了一個大卡車所以可以一次搬比較多狗狗貓咪. 去淡水抓狗狗,還加上其他抓到的野貓,跟北投協會那邊的受傷的狗狗,開回獸醫那邊(汐止)給們看病結扎. 等到快天黑就把所有的狗狗貓咪再加上要接送的其他協會貓咪,我們木柵,汐止,北投,等等一個一個送動物哈哈.因為還是要把流浪狗放回原本的地盤,就是他們的家.

The worst case was a dog that had a rope tied around its neck. The rope had been tied for God knows how long. The poor thing was covered in ticks, fleas, and even had tapeworms crawling out of its rear. It was a really sad sight, but  I think things like this need to be made known and shared so people understand that it's not good to tie ropes around dogs' necks, mouths, etc...we think it might have been tied too tightly or tied as a puppy and then abandoned.

bittersweet

2009/10/21 16:44:00

剛剛送小海苔（鼻子上有點）去他新主人。。。說真的，還沒遇到的時候有點擔心，也不太想把海苔交給她。 但撿到貓眯的好心人已經答應了所以我還是會尊重他們想法。還好剛剛見完面放心多了。新主人感覺很認真也很細心，海苔在她那邊應該會很開心很幸福。送他走心裡一部分是成就感的開心，但另一個部分是苦苦酸酸的。。。還是會捨不得啦！

I just sent HaiTai (the kitten with the black dot on the nose) to meet her new owner. To be honest, I was really not wanting to give her up lol. However, since she was already promised to the new owner by the people who discovered the kits, I still had to respect their wishes. Meeting the new owner, though, subsided a lot of my worries. She seemed very responsible and detailed, and asked a lot of questions about how she should care for HaiTai. Seeing HaiTai go to a responsible family eased my fears, I'm sure she'll be happy in her new home; but parting was very bittersweet...it was like sending my kid off to college lol. I felt like I raised this adorable kit successfully, and I'm happy she'll have a happy home, but inside the other part of my heart has these twinges of heartache. I'll miss her. 

The other thing I wanted to share is a problem a lot of cat+dog owners will come across...I don't know why, but the dogs LOVE the cat litter! Every time I see out of the corner of my eye Turtle or Latte try to sneak past me and stick their head into the litter box, I do a grmmmmph! noise and they guiltily scamper away. To remedy this I decided to make a dog-proof litter box out of one of those big plastic tubs you can get for like 7 USD...cut a hole on the top that's just big enough for cats to get thru, and file down any rough edges...(I ended up using and ruining a bread knife to saw through the thick plastic lid lol). This way, the cats can jump in and out of the box, but the dogs can't get their heads thru to the goodies...

還有我想分享的是個很多狗狗貓眯爸媽會遇到的大問題。。。我真的不知道為什麼，狗狗很愛玩跟吃貓砂！哎呦，好噁心哈哈。 每次眼角看到Turtle 或Latte 偷偷摸摸慢慢把頭伸進貓砂盆，我出了一個“grmphh" 的媽媽不爽的聲音，他們就跑掉，終於受不了了，決定自己做一個防狗狗貓砂盆。。。我去大賣場買那種有蓋子的塑膠盒，上面我撿了一個洞，讓貓眯跳進去但狗狗沒辦法進。有同樣的問題的朋友，我建議你們可以烤爐用一樣的方式，又便宜（不到250元）又簡單。

sweet bunny needs help

2009/10/14 05:29:00

最近我在忙什麼呢？ 上個禮拜在士林夜市走走路，看到這個可憐的小兔子在寵物店。我一開始我只是看到他前面寫是給認養。。近看就知道為什麼。他已經皮膚病生病了很嚴重。。。看店也沒在很用心的治好病，我覺得我還是帶她回家照顧。而且，他們讓我感覺沒有人會認養他，可能已經在那很久。。。看到他整個心就開始痛了，所以我決定一定要盡量幫忙，只是怕已經太晚了。看，早點好好的治好，就比較有可能恢復。帶她去看獸醫之後，獸醫檢查他說可能會很難救回來。反正先試試看。。。每天兩三次用針孔餵藥跟圖藥膏，我很擔心他，每次看到他都想哭。。。
