Puggy appears tired and sluggish these days and like you said he ages quite a bit. However, his appetite is excellent and whenever Yumi is cooking,Puggy would want to keep her company in the kitchen, hoping Yumi would drop some food onto the floor...hahaha.
Looks like eating is Puggy's main interest. Other than his usual walks,he prefers to keep himself to a corner and sleeps most of the time.

What is kennel cough aka canine cough?

2008-05-29T18:48:00.001+08:00

What is kennel cough aka canine cough?
Like the common cold in humans, the organisms that cause canine cough are airborne. Possible sources of infection include anywhere dogs congregate.

Boarding Kennels
Breeding Kennels
Training Kennels
Veterinary Hospitals
Humane Societies
Neighbors Dog
Dog Shows
Dog Races
Pet Shops
Grooming Salons
Animal Control

The stress of temperature change or damp conditions is believed by some to contribute to CC. A different environment in the kennel, strange people and other animals, reduced rest (from barking), and more crowded conditions can reduce a healthy dog's immune response. Add parainfluenza (or other viruses) with Bordetella (or other respiratory bacteria) and your dog has a hacking cough. Just as humans are prone to upper respiratory infections (common colds) when in certain conditions, it boils down to basic immunity. Have your ever been on a plane or in a room with a lot of people when someone sneezes? You may go home perfectly healthy, but your friend or relative will get a cold. It's no one's fault--it just happens.

TWO TYPES OF VACCINES. (And safe for puppies as well as pregnant bitches!)

There is the painlessly applied nasal vaccine which builds protection at the site of potential infection, starting within 48 hours. The "nose drop" vaccine is the one that we recommend for your dog. (Even though it is "painless" some dogs are resentful and will struggle.)

And, there is the injection by needle that works through the dog's lymph immune system. the needle injection vaccine requires two injections 3 to 4 weeks apart in order to build long-term protection against CC. Since some people don't go back for the booster 3-4 weeks after the initial vaccine, we do NOT recommend the injectable vaccine. Check with your veterinarian for his/her recommendations.

Billy loves DogSitter Singapore's beef.

2008-04-27T14:57:00.000+08:00

Billy usually find eating more of a chore than enjoyment. At home, he is usually fed with beef that cost an average of $5 to $6 per 100 grams and yet he would not appreciate that much as when he is here. The beef we bought for Billy cost only about $1 per 100 grams and you can see from the video he is really craving for it. Billy loves our beef because we painstakingly pressure cooked until it is tender and juicy and he loves his beef this way.

This wonderful and obedient Labrador Crossed came and gone and we kinda miss him.The first 2 to 3 days were hard on him but after that he got used to us and our house and the other doggies like Melvin and Belle. He,then enjoyed himself and was not prepared to go home.

Maltese Melvin and newbie Chewie at Dog Pet Hotel

2007-10-12T22:56:00.000+08:00

Melvin was from Australia and Chewie from Japan.They both followed their owners to live in Singapore.
Strangely,I noticed that both of them are afraid of lightning and thunder. They would start to tremble when the skies get dark signalling it was going to rain.
What we did was,in such a situation,we would all lock ourselves in a room,close the curtains,switch on the lights and play some loud music as if to drown the sound of thunder and the flashes of lightning. It works most of the time,unless the thunder is much louder than the music.

Rules to be observed when boarding your dog at Dogsitter Singapore

All dogs must be licensed according to AVA regulation.The fine is now S$5,000 if a dog owner does not comply. Owners need to produce documents when boarding their pets.

Owners should apply Frontline to their dogs at least 24 hours before boarding here.(for the prevention of fleas and ticks)

Unneutered dogs above 12 months and below 7 years may not be allowed to board.

A worthwhile cause:The rehoming of Silky Benji.

2007-09-27T15:08:00.000+08:00

The above pictures show the young couple Shanice and jason who are keen on adopting Benji and the last 2 pics was taken at Guat's place as well as the videos.
The owner indicated she would prefer Guat,the school teacher to be Benji's new owner.
Last weekend was quite hectic for me as I had to interview and entertain potentials owners who were interested in rehoming Benji.Even till this very day,there were people calling to enquire about Benji.
I was offered money by people to let them rehome Benji but I did not think they were qualified enough. My main concern here was to get a better home for Benji and I decided to recommend Guat which in my opinion was the best candidate to be Benji's new "Mommy".
I will be visiting Benji again with her "mommy" to ensure the smooth transfer of Benji to his new home.
Good luck Benji and hope you will find your new "Mommy" and new home a suitable one.

Above: Benji at 3 months old
Benji at 3 years old
Since our ads was published in the dogs' forum,there was a overwhelming interest and response from dog lovers who wanted to rehome Benji.
If you cannot afford to spend quality time with Benji eg. couples who are both working or travelling a lot or would lock Benji in the house for long period of time due to some other committment etc...please do not try to adopt Benji.
At the moment,we have shortlisted at least 5 families who may be considered potential Benji's owners. The decision to let Benji rehome with which family would finally come from Benji's owner.

Furun a Miniature 4 year old female Dashund

2007-08-27T13:00:00.000+08:00

Furun is here at Dogsitter Singapore for a week when her Japanese owners are back in Japan for a vacation.
Yumi,being a Japanese herself takes charge of Furun,creating and updating her blog in Japanese for the owners to see from Japan.
Furun is a lovely pet but very shy and does not like to mix around with Thea the Beagle who happens to be here too.
Maybe,who knows the two of them may get along well and then start to miss each other when they got home.

Got our Yorkshire Billy client back at Dog Sitter Singapore

2007-08-27T10:37:00.001+08:00

I am now back at the Billy's place and his owners are in presently in Europe for the next 2 weeks. It is a beautiful apartment with central airconditioning,swimming pool,suana,gym etc. We are at liberty to use any of the facility. My wife and I had been here before and we love it.

This time around,we had 2 other dogs at our place and so my wife and I take turn to come to this apartment to take care of Billy. We love Billy and that's the reason we compromised with Billy's owners.

Frankly,Billy would be much happier being at our place because he loves to play with the other doggies. Here at his place,he may have the familiar surroundings, 24/7 airconditioning and what not,he is a lonely pet. But then I would just do whatever the owners want me to do. After all,we also have the owners to please besides the pets.

We heard the dog sitter who was supposed to replace us did not do a good job. Billy was neglected and not well cared for unlike when he was with us.

We were kind of surprised when Billy's "daddy" called us last week and was willing to let Billy board at our place. I told him my wife and I could take turn to go up to his place to dog sit Billy. He was very happy with the arrangement.Hence,now I am at Billy's place.

Libby the Wheaton Terrier

2007-08-27T10:34:00.001+08:00

Libby needs a lot of care as far as her coat is concerned. Brushing her hair would take 1 hour and she would fall asleep and let Yumi do the work. Its a daily affair and Libby loves every moment of it.
My wife and I sleep about 5 to 6 hours a night.As long as one of the doggies are awake,perhaps to play or is restless, we are always there for them. This is one of the 'cons' of being a dog sitter. We could only have sufficient sleep when the doggies are all gone home. However,we are not complaining about their presence.

If you are lucky,you may even be given handsome tips from pet owners who appreciate the excellent care you have given to their pets.

2007-08-27T10:33:00.001+08:00

If you are lucky,you may even be given handsome tips from pet owners who appreciate the excellent care you have given to their pets.
I would usually be given gifts where the owners would buy from overseas where they vacationed. Gifts like chocolates,sweets and souvenirs were common. One paricular owner tipped me $150 cash and boxes of cherries and strawberries from the States. On another occassion,she bought and personally delivered us a whole grilled chicken and pig's trotter after discovering that we liked them. From Kuala Lumpur,she bought for us all sort of Malaysian cakes and sweets. As a result,between my wife and I,we put on 7kgs after consumming them.
This generous owner was and still is appreciative of our services because previous dog sitters and pet hotels did not provide the care for her precious pet as well as us. She deemed our dog sitting services to be The best.
One client of ours wanted us to dog sit her little Yorkie in her luxurious apartment.We obliged her a few times but as we had to care for other dogs too at our place,we had to turn her down.
In fact,we almost lost this client to other dog sitters who were prepared to stay at her place while she and her husband were away.
Fortunately,she prefers our services and her Yorkie is back at our place again. Of course,we like to stay at her luxurious apartment to care for her pet but sometimes,we would be short of manpower. I made a promise to her that if I can spare the man power,either me or my wife would be staying at her place when she is going away.

You can't get rich by becoming a dog sitter. Perhaps,at best,you can just make enough money to survive,enough to buy the 2 meals a day and pays for the electricity and water bills.You may have spare cash for the daily cup of coffee.

My wife and I became dog sitters because we love dogs. We are fascinated by this so called man's best friend.We were influenced by our neighbour's little toy poodle,Belle.

Belle is one of the most affectionate and intelligent dogs we ever come across. She weighs about 2.4 kg or slightly more than 5 lbs and is now 3 years old.She is cute,and extremely lovable too.She visits us almost daily.

One has to be passionate about dogs to be a good dog sitter. Everyone can be a dog sitter but how good a dog sitter are you, would depend on your love and passion for the furry friends.
Understanding,love,skills,experience and energy are some of the qualities a good dog sitter should possess.Patience is also an asset.

One of the pros of being a dog sitter is the exercise you would get from walking the dogs.We walk our dogs at least 3 times a day of 30 minutes each.Walking a dog 4 times a day is quite normal with us except when it's raining outside.

Cleaning the dogs after their walks and playing with them require a lot of energy too,especially for a 61 year old like me. Bathing them can be quite taxing but they let you burn off some unused calories.

Waking up early in the morning to walk and later to make breakfasts for them need some discipline on our part. Well if we do not wake up early enough,don't worry because the doggies would act as our alarm clocks.

Being with dogs give you the joy and the meaning of existence. Perhaps,I will go into that a bit later in my entries.

We have been bitten 6 times!

2007-08-27T10:26:00.001+08:00

In the last 1 year my wife and I had been bitten by a dog 6 times.This little dog was spoilt and overly pampered by its owner at home.
It would grabbed other dog's food after quickly finishing its own and when my wife tried to take it away from the bowl,it bit her hand.
It bit me twice and my wife four time in all.You will noticed I used "it" and also did not name the breed of this obnoxious dog because we do not want to offend its owner. To the owner it is a lovely sweet pet and it could do anything it felt like it. Here with us, it peed all over the house and in the dog's kingdom,this dog believed it is a leader of other dogs. It chased after cats and growled at other fellow boarders.
This dog is a exception in its behaviour.Other dogs that board here were usually quite well trained. Maybe a few would missed once in a while in disposing their "waste" but they would run and hide for the fear of being reprimanded.
So it is not all " a bed of roses" to be a dogsitter. Nevertheless, we love these doggies enough to tolerate some of their anti social habits. After all,many of them were nervous to stay in a stranger's home, at least for a few hours and to some for one to two days.

Below is a video of a dog that even bites a woman's vagina.

Dogs that pee in the house..what can you do?

2007-08-27T07:41:00.000+08:00

Here are some of the questions and answers I have obtained from dog owners and the experts:

"Remember your dog wants to please you. Dogs are primarily social animals and want to win your favour and love.If she pee in the house,it could be due to many reasons known to her only.

Honor her by showing her when you are pleased when she goes potty where you want her to. And it would be good of you to show her how she can please you.
Never scold or reprimand your dog long after she had done the mistake because she may not know the reason for the scolding. If your pet is caught in the act of peeing in the house,a stern and firm "NO!" to her would be better than scolding or shouting at her.

Negative reinforcement just builds fear and resentment.

I think that if you dont have the time or inclination to teach a dog what you want from her you dont deserve her company or her love.

Question:

My 2 year old mini-schnauzer has urinated multiple times on new carpeting. She has 24 hr. access outside via a doggy door. She never has done this since trained as a puppy. I am sick and at my wits end. She get reprimanded each and every time. She just did it when I was even home. I need some advice on what to do. I have her sister as well who does NOT do this.
H J Schneider from Aurora, CO

Answers:

RE: Dog Peeing Inside House
First of all, don't reprimand unless you find her in the act of peeing. I know this is hard but don't do it. Make sure you clean the areas really well. I use white vinegar. but I am sure she still can smell it. (04/04/2006)
