No prob. juz bump the thread for me.. LOL

Nata|ie SG

I would suggest the kids to view the dog oso. See whether they got affinity.

ispyyy SG

nope... if the dog is still a puppy, at least, when it grow with the kids or with my mother, we dont feel the threat...

But if suddenly, u have a 30kg dog which is more than half the weight of my mother and heavier than both my nephew add up, then probably, will have conflict in interest in the family...

Nata|ie SG

The dog muz get along well with everyone in the family. And the whole family muz like it too...

If not.. will cuz conflicts oso la.. I can understand.

ispyyy SG

wa... very troublesome... must spare a thought for my sister in law mah...
think probably, next year, if I have the chance, I will buy a puppy for them...

mystee SG

glad to hear this... i m a dog lover.. so i hate ppl who give up dogs or adopt dogs w/o serious thots..

Hope this goldie will go to his last home.. where the family will love & treasure him...

Nata|ie SG

Well.. like I mention, the dog muz have interaction with the family-to-be lor.

I prefer to do it tat way la.. to minimise any conflicts in the later part mah.

rathcycle SG

ppl planning to adopt must make sure u live in private property, if better, landed property, and can afford it Laughing

they are expensive too

Stoat SG

30kg tats a large dog...i tink Laughing

Nata|ie SG

He is trained. 30+kg. 2 yrs plus old. Avg grown GR length.

I suggest you talk to your mum first before u adopt.

eagle SG

Put on newspaper?

Nata|ie SG

Of coz preferably someone living in landed property will be a good choice.

Maintaining part for GR is quite ok. The nails clipping and trimming of fur.

Having a dog, is like having a child. But the expense is quite different la.

rathcycle SG

u sponsor ah ?
put newspaper needs money de leh....

put mocca better Laughing

Nata|ie SG

I've been circulating news around my friends and here in sgforums. So see the response how first.

eagle SG

no la... 'sell' the dog by asking the new owner for half the newspaper price lor...

It's still much cheaper than buying a new dog

Nata|ie SG

I'm not intending to "sell" the dog ma. LOL

But thanks for the suggestion (the newspaper part)

rathcycle SG

mocca is free advertising .. Rolling Eyes

eagle SG

I can imagine you giving interviews... A panel of judges all staring at the potential new owner

Nata|ie SG

I just registered for mocca.

Maybe will post when I get Goldie's (GR's name) picture taken.

Anyway 1st post updated!

my family used to have a dog called lucky...
When I was young, I always fight with lucky...
he bite me and I chased him...

Then, when it is around 4 yrs old, my mother sent lucky to mate with my grandaunt's dog. After tat, when my mother wants to retrieve back our dog, lucky refused to leave my grandaunt's dog....
My mum kind of forced it to come with us...
In the end, when I was 12 yrs old during chinese new eve which is also surprisely valentine's day, lucky ran away...
There are eye witness stating lucky tried to board the SBS bus... lol... but kana let bus driver chase down the bus...
Well... tat day I lost a friend but do not understand y it does tat so... Coz, I m 12 yrs old at tat time mah.... Now, think about it, I really admired his courage towards his love... SO... WHO SAY ANIMALS NO FEELING 1???
