It’s been almost a year since we last took the dogs to the beach. For some reason Wah decided to do it today so we got ourselves and the dogs ready late afternoon. It was Coco’s second trip to the beach and she was doing way better than her first trip. Although she was still quite reluctant to get into the water, but she actually went in after numerous invitations from Xiao Bi. Meaning Xiao Bi tried to drag her in by pulling her ears. And this fella actually swam! And then Xiao Bi started to act TOTALLY like a Golden Retriever by picking up something whenever she returned from the water. Like, you know, retrieving something, including dried leaves and rubbish like cloth. And at one point she actually picked up part of her leash it her mouth when swimming back. :D It was totally a fun trip. Not only for them, but for us too. Sun, sea, and fresh air. What could be better? :) See more of their photos at the beach here, including Xiao Bi rolling over everywhere to ease her itchy ear, and Coco squatting just before the water, like she was going to poo.
Some bird babies fell into the yard from their nest this evening and of course, Xiao Bi tried ‘retrieving’ them, probably believing that they were preys. Worrying that she might hurt them unintentionally, I put her on the leash and tied to my waist, so she had to follow me wherever I went. As sweet as this may sound, she was totally upset with the idea. :) Our path with Xiao Bi wasn’t an easy one. Being a Golden Retriever, she had too much energy in her With all the not-so-pleasant news in the country lately (not to forget this in the newspaper today), I guess all I wanted to say is, I’m not only worrying about the safety of street animals, I’m now also worrying about the safety of Xiao Bi and Coco. It is such a sad case that pet dogs that wander out are normally friendly and trusting with humans, and they might just end up being shot. Having license and tags don’t seem to be of any difference. And if they fight back, they are being labeled as ‘dangerous’, and still being shot. Just, who doesn’t fight back when you feel your life being threatened? And aren’t they supposed to be given a second chance – whether it’s a chance to be adopted or to be claimed back by owners? I don’t like this, babe. I’m concerned for your safety. So please, as you turn 4 today, can you not run out of the yard on your own? We’ve been bringing you and Coco out everyday, and I promise we will continue to do so. Happy Birthday.
The one on the left is the one who knocked me down and dragged me along the road. The black one who was trying to eat the camera from the right is the partner in crime. P/S: This is a repost-photo. I can’t find anything in my photo library with both of them sitting still, and I’m not taking any chance for them to knock on my knee until I’m done with the wound on it. Speaking of which, I think all the wounds heal pretty fast! ;) |
