Dog Habits

When my son was still a pup, he went thru e general phase of eating his own poop. Ok, now i hear u say WAHHHHHHHHHTTTTTT, and EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW~ Anyways, when i told my frenz then, they all went like puking (not literally). I dun blame them coz they are not dog owners anyways.

Generally, ppl cringe at the sight of seeing animal pee n poo or dirty things anyways. Much less cleaning them. But tts not wat i wanted to say.

However, i am extremely pissed when dog owners complained, get angry or becum traumatised when they experienced their dogs doing the same thing. I can close one eye if its their 1st dog and they expect e dogs to be holy moly like in e movies (duh -__-) . But after e 1st, u still complain and tell e whole world how disgusting how traumatising how... watever.

The thing is puppies in general do tt. While it can be a sign of food malnutrition or poor developed digestive systems, it is a perfectly common phase tt puppies go thru. Puppies are like babies, they duno until u teach them. If u wan them to stop eating poop sooner, then u as a parent is responsible for it.

If its not e case of poor health which u shd bring ur puppies for checkups, you need to discipline ur pets. Warm food obviously becums more appealing than hard cold biscuits, no?

Dogs sniff their poo after doing it, they do tt to access their own health, though i haf no idea wats tt for since they cant do anything to themselves anyways. So u can imagine wat kind of report babies give to themselves. But when they eat poo, chances are either u dun feed them enuff, or they r not getting enuff nutrients. And also, coz their digestive systems are not fully developed, their food are not fully digested, so they will treat it as food and eat it again.

When u noe these hard cold facts, wats so disgusting? I was much more concerned y he was doing it so i could help him.

I myself played wif overturned poo when i was a infant (small kid?), or so i heard, and my mum wasnt even sure if i had eaten it. Lol. But tts my mum's fault coz she wasnt looking at me. She doesnt really take care of children and went to do her own things most of the time. So i always ended up in minor accidents. Even so, she didnt go ard saying, "My baby so disgusting, she eat her own shit, dun get near her!"...

Ok, back to e puppies.

Wat annoys me is tt when u tell ppl such things and u dun explain properly. Ppl becum repulsed by the idea. Some even said "tts y i converted from being a dog lover to a cat lover coz u dun wan to see ur pet doing ugly things". WTF???????

Come on lah, while a kitten may not eat poo (i duno, never kept kittens be4), i am sure as kittens they do alot of funny dirty things as well.

My pup though 6 mths old when i brought him back was facing alot of toilet prob. Becoz he was in a small cage for 6 bloody mths, his idea of sleeping area and toilet fused together. So besides eating poop, he also roll about in them. But all was solved after sending him for toilet training, some discipline, and his own mental n physical growth.

On a side note, u noe my pup couldnt walk properly coz his limbs were poorly developed in a small cage. I was extremely disgusted wif e way tt pet farm treated pets. But anyways, tt didnt matter anymore, i noe he is happy now.

I also concluded my son's poor mental growth. I think he is retarded. But no matter, i am still going to look after him till e last of his days which i hoped is at least 10 yrs later.

The thing is, when u decide to keep a pet. U accept their dirty side as well. Same as babies, they also poo n pee, u also still haf to clean them up, unless u r rich n pampered u can tell ur maid to do tt. But if not, u also got to do it one mah.

I lost my train of thots somewat, and i dun really noe wat i wan to say coz i am very tired. Damn!

E difference is tt, eventually babies all grow up and clean themselves. But accept reality in tt, dogs/cats while they could be toilet trained, they can never clean wipe their own back side and throw their poo away.

So e next time when u decide to becum a pet owner. Besides all e sweet little moments u wish to get out of them. Ask urself whether u can handle e dirty side which is perfectly normal but will surely last for e rest of their lifetime. U need more time when they r in baby phase.

Its a much tougher job to look after Kittens, u've got to feed them once every hr and if they r too small, u even got to help them pee (i found tis out fr Battle Royale Manga, lol).

Baby animals will puke some times coz of poor digestive system. They may be stricken wif diseases if u do not give them proper hygiene. They can be allergic to e detergent u use for mopping and develop rash and lose all their fur. They poo n pee all over coz they haf no bloody idea wats a "toilet". Due to poor control, they will sometimes pee, poo or puke on u.

They will be pretty much senseless like kids knowing nothing, so tis is the toughest phase and u need to discipline them to do wats right.

But after they grow up, it will be fine. If u r so scared of dirty things or complain work too bz, no time, etc but still wan to keep a pet for watever reason then get a grown up pet, but u may still need to toilet train them anyways. U also need to discipline them anyways, so to me theres no diff. But its so much harder to discipline a grown up pet.

Just remember, cuteness, sweetness, companionship, comes wif poo, pee, puke, diseases, illnesses as well. Its all part of e package.

I also complain sometimes his poo very smelly, but i dun blame him nor scold him, nor do i traumatise ppl. My tolerance level for smelly n dirty things is not as high as some ppl, but i accepted him for everything e day i decided to take care of him. Theres always counter measures to overcome these problems if u r willing to put in e effort. Research research research! Dun sit there n expect things to solve themselves or others to feed u wif information.

When u r clear wif tt, even if u wake up n e 1st thing u see beside ur face is poo. U calmly jus clean it up and its back to a normal start of a day.

Lol. U let him sleep wif u mah, sometimes "accidents" happen one lah. E things they do come back to ur own responsibility one lah, how u take care of him, shows wat kind of pet they will grow to be.

Though i certainly did not impart my lazy genes to him. He must haf learnt it from TV. Lol.
