Life time commitment

Attach photo of my pet dog Muffin, taken last year. Aint he cute isn’t he?
Muffin is healthy considered his age of well over 15 man-years; Due to age, Muffin no longer roam outside the apartment, he does his poo and pee in the toilet. He drinks plenty of water and sleeps almost three quarter of the day. He enjoys the pet tidbits I bought from the pet shop. It is important to take note though most of the dry pet tidbits and foods have high contents of salt so it is important to ensure ample supply of fresh drinking water.


Looking after a pet is not a hobby; it is a lifetime commitment. All too often we see people making decision on the spur of moment without considering the consequences. Parents bought puppies and kittens from pet shop for their children as gifts, only to be given away or worst still thrown out of the house when the pet becomes less cute when it grows up, when it starts to bite or scratch the furniture, pee or poo around the house.

Sure enough we have heard some motivational speaker talks about ready fire aim whereby we are encourage to take actions first and then evaluate the results and adjust our further actions accordingly. Not everything in life works with that way though, I mean that sort of philosophy though. We shouldn’t just get a puppy or a kitten from the pet shop without giving a thought as to whether we are really ready to be committed to take care of it for the rest of its life.

One of the joys of pet-ownership is being able to oversee the inconveniences and focus instead on the lifetime friendship & companionship. Praying that Muffin will live out the few remaining years of his life feeling happy & satisfied!
