I bought shushu to the vet this evening to have a look at his paw. There is still some swelling and as it has not subside after a week - I am getting a bit paranoia about it. The good news is the swelling is from some pus at the wound ( vet said something like "pimple"). He clean the wound and put some ointment on it and assure me that it will clear up in no time soon....
While at the vet there, he ask me whether i would like to get another GR as a pet.
He has one male GR about 2 years old for adoption, which has been abandoned by his owner. Something bit / injured the GR at the testicle there until it swell. (I think Ben has similar case). As the owner neglected the poor fella, he never realised it until the swelling become extremely bad. By the time it reaches the hand of the vet, removing the testicle aka neutering was the only way to save its life. However, when the owner hear about the surgery, he/she just abandon the poor fella at the vet there. The vet decided to keep him, performed the neutering process and he is now on his way to recovery.

Once he recover fully, the vet will put him up for adoption and he is looking a dog lover and a good owner to take care of the fella.
I have a look at the GR - very handsome, large head and soulful eyes.
He barked at me initially - i think he is very a bit nervous with people. However, he quiet down when i talk softly to him and give him my hand to sniff. He allow me to pat him and scratch his ears too. He even try to squeeze his nose through the grille to get close to me and look very sad when i leave. i notice that there are signs of neglect by the previous owner. I can feel large chumps of matted fur at the ears area as the fella has not been groomed properly. The nails are long and the toes a bit spayed - signs that he is kept in the cage for long hours and not exercised properly.
I am very very tempted to adopt him. If I have not gotten kero, I would have immediately shouted yes to the vet. However, 2 dogs is my maximun quota set by my sister whom I am sharing the house with. She threatened to kick us ( my furkids and i

) out of the house if I dare to get one more dog in. Sigh, I am still very tempted now....I keep seeing the poor dog face.
What i am angry is the behaviour of the previous owner

...how could he/she just abandon the poor fella? It is not life threatening desease...neutering can easily save the fella. Is it because of the $$? Neutering is not that expensive also. What is the reason? I am wondering now whether the dog is being kept for breeding purposes (stud dog) and once it is neutered, it serve no purposes and hence there is no reason to keep it anymore.

Doesn't the owner feel ANYTHING for his/her dog????? He/she has been living with the dog for 2 years!


Won... Kero so small size, ask your sister close one eye lor. So heartache hear the GR's story. I think even if the vet didn't neuter the dog, the owner also won't want him back. It's just an excuse from irresponsible owners. Although I have two monsters now, my dad always say he don't mind to rescue another furkid when the situation arises. Keep us updated, ok Won? Aii... so cham the poor GR. You know his name ma?
