Pirate is recovering well...at least better than i expected...his paws doesnt hurt as much as it was on the first day...and now he has got the strength to tug the leash :)
Managed to cut of some of the "dead" paw pads which were dangling from his paw..and has been diligently washing and cleaning his paws and ensuring that he doesn't bite or move ard too much...all effort has paid off..and i am thankful that he is feeling better now..at least i dun feel too upset now...
Hoping he will fully recover soon..and play with gerger when she come back hom on one of the days next week...

Injuried Pirate...
Yes pirate got hurt..and this time again, someone forgotten to close the gate and once again he escaped out of the house..lucky thing is he didnt hurt any dogs/human he saw...he is generally fine with human..just tat sometimes pple tend to be afraid when they see such a big dog...but thank goodness no one was hurt except for Pirate himself...
I went home and saw that all his 4 paws were hurt...his paw pads were hurt due to abrasion..but i must say the abrasion were pretty bad..cause 2 of his paw pad were cut and seem to be dropping off partially..u cant imagine the pain when i saw him like tat...thanks goodness bf helped to wash his wound and apply antiseptic cream on his paws while i was still at work..
As you know pirate is an outdoor trained dog and will only do his pee & poo outside..yesterday i tried to bring him for his pee & poo break..and i realised he got big problem walking..each step he took seems to be in such pain..he was practically limping all the way...i really think his paws hurt alot..the sight of him in pain really hurt me...i tried to carry him to the grass but didnt have such strength to carry a dog weighing 30kg all the way..he took a short pee & poo break and went back home straight..cause i can tell he don't want to walk much due to the pain on his paws..he didnt even poo..my poor boy..
Pirate is still eating and drinking well...still wana play but cant due to his paws...i tried to bandage his 4 paws before taking him for a walk so that his injuried paws will not be exposed to the dirt and bacteria...i tried to apply cream on his paws and he whined alittle when i touched it..it must have hurt so much...
Now i have to put him in a play pen to minimize his movement in hope that his injuried paws will have recover faster...my darling boy looks sad but he seemed to know that the cleaning his wound, applying cream and bandaging his paws i did was all for his good and he finally allowed to me clean him up w/o struggling...
This morning i woke up an hr earlier than usual, as i know i have to give him more time for his pee & poo break, and I need more time to clean his wound and wrap them up..i brought him for his break but he seems to be still in pain..he peed but didnt poo..went back home to clean his wound and bandage them and put him back to his playpen and went to work..
It's tiring to take care of an injuried dog...but he is my dog..no matter how tough it is..i will do my best to make him recover fast..CNY is approaching and now this has to happen..i tink i will be spending alot of my time taking care of my dear boy this CNY..if the folks can make the effort to be more careful..then this wont have happened...this is not the first time he ran out already..i know sometimes the older folks tend to be more forgetful and i cant blame them too...but i hope they can be more careful in future..cause who knows what will happen to him if he run out again...
P.S: Now i am contemplating whether to bring gerger back on CNY..cause if i bring her back..pirate will not be able to play with her cause i wil be limiting his movement..and then pirate and gerger will be seperated which then defeat the purpose ofme bringing gerger back...but then again if i dun bring her back home...it kinda makes me feel guilty...tell me what shld i do? haiz..

Chinese New Year is coming...
Chinese New Year is arriving and I have yet to buy any of my Chinese New Year clothes...It's time to spend my weekends shopping ard (I really hate shopping & if given a choice I would rather not shop. I only shop once every year - That's before Chinese New Year to buy my clothes. That's all!)
I have decided that I will bring gerger back on one of the days in Chinese New Year and let her spend one night with me & pirate :) It will probably be 1st Day of Chinese New Year.. And I seriously can;t wait for that day to come...to spend time with my 2 darlings...to gamble...to have fun...to play & drink..to enjoy...Cause after Chinese New Year, we only have May to look forward to for our next Public Holiday....

Mary & Cherry
Just a short update on Mary & Cherry here.
They have been shifted to a new boarding kennel and are being boarded there at $300 monthly. Esther has been visiting them and also paying for their boarding. Under her care, they both have blossomed into lovely & sweet dogs..
Mary is getting fatter & Esther is working to get Cherry to be less afraid of strangers. They both get to visit PMDR on the weekends and they are still looking for a lovely home and a family to love them...
If you could, do drop by to say hello to them if you are at PMDR during the weekends. If you could, do pass the msg ard and pray for them to find a loving home
If you could, do give them a chance to be your dog if you are looking for a dog companion
Any form of help will be greatly appreciated...

Heartwarming Story.....
Somone posted on the Aussie dog forum...
Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love,
Meredith
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.
Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:
Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away.
Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by..
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.
I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.
By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.
Love, God
P.S: I was tearing while reading it...
