Turning Point 转折点

 2 weeks ago, I picked up Mr Oreo from the groomer and...he's so silly that he did this... He bit his own tail till it's bleeding! So geram and heartache. He's giving us no choice but to make him wear cone of shame (e-collar). When you thought that's the only silly thing he did...He surprised us again with... Sorry for posting the gross photo. When I pointed at his pee and asked him "Why You Pee In The House?" in a stern voice. He did this... Hiding under the chair and refused to come out I don't know whether to be pissed or to laugh. The daily dose of my happiness :)   The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. ~Samuel Butler, Notebooks, 1912

I almost cried my balls out reading the eulogy written by John Grogan to his dog - Marley. I guess you will never understand the pain of losing a dog if you never owned one. If you do, you will know that they are never pets to us, they are family. Not sure about others but dogs have taught me so much about love, compassion and loyalty. You can read the eulogy below:  In the gray of dawn, I found the shovel in the garage and walked down the hill to where the lawn meets the woods. There, beneath a wild cherry tree, I began to dig. The earth was loose and blessedly unfrozen, and the work went fast. It was odd being out in the backyard without Marley, the Labrador retriever who for 13 years made it his business to be tight by my side for every excursion out the door, whether to pick a tomato, pull a weed, or fetch the mail. And now here I was alone, digging him this hole. "There will never be another dog like Marley," my father said when I told him the news, that I finally ha...

One fine day, I was loitering around Arth Goldau station while waiting for the train to Milan. Arth Goldau station (Switzerland) is a small train station in a rural area - nothing to scream about. BUT, as the usual busybody, I managed to find something new (at least new to me -_-). Can you see anything special? Something that we will never see in Malaysia -_-? That's it!! Day Pass for Dogs -_-. Apparently, you have to pay for your dogs to bring them with you on the train. How much does it cost? CHF 32.00/Switzerland Francs. It's enough to pay for your weekly car petrol. BTW, CHF 32.00 = 15.92 pounds = RM 98.48. Bear in mind, it's only a day pass -_-. One last question: Does that mean the dog is entitled a seat in the train?! Any idea? ~It is not down in any map; true places never are - Herman Melville ~
