My younger daughter was a cat lover. We had several cats when we lived in Brunei, and they were very affectionate toward her. We found new homes for them with friends when we left Brunei. She missed them so much that, a year later, we visited Brunei to see them. However, she was heartbroken because the cats—especially the ones she loved the most—did not recognize her and even avoided her.
My missus spend rougly 6 weeks here and then 4 weeks in Java at her house.
Yep, I saw a documentary on a Swiss TV channel about the same subject in Switzerland.
Just a quick update, over the past 7 weeks, he weight has increased from 1.5 kg to 6 kg. Cookie (her name) has received two rounds of vaccinations, but she is still too young for the rabies vaccine. She’s no longer just our "garden visitor", she is permanent resident, super active, roaming around everywhere, hates being kept in a crate or tied up, and very naughty, she likes to bite and chew everything, though he seems to prefer chewing on the coconut fiber used for my orchids rather than rubber toys. Most annoyingly, she loves digging holes, especially in loose soil that’s been prepared for planting. Her teeth are super-sharp, often leaving marks on our hands and feet. The dental stick you mentioned helped us a lot if we don't want to be followed, keep her busy for a while.It may be worth putting a little time into cage training her, if you are concerned about her nibbling toxic plants and such when you are out or she is unsupervised.
As for toads- mine tend to have learnt the hard way that they don't want to go back for a second taste!
the best way re cage training is to make that her safe and nice place to go so that it is not seen as a punishment prison- lots of videos out there.
I have every faith in you that you will have a well trained and delightful new member of your family. Because you careenjoy !
I fully expect you to be on here in several months saying you can't recall what life was like before you had a dog, mainly because they are adorable and funny.
Very cute puppy. You refer to both her and he. Which is it? And the name? If you are teaching her/he to speak Indonesian you can warn her/he that if she/he does not behave she/he will be sold to a sate vendor.
Adorable! My dog loves mango - try her with slivers of that as a treat - might be cheaper than durian
[edit for subject verb agreement, hopefully it appeases the edit patrol]
Wife absolutely loves durian, and I like mangoes, so price isn’t an issue—in fact during the season, durian and mangoes are quite inexpensive in my area. In our garden, we too grow a variety of fruits, including durian, mango, water apple, banana, avocado, papaya, passion fruit, soursop, chayote, coconut, tomato, and more. We always have fresh fruit on hand, which we often turn into treats that Cookie—our puppy—loves.If you want to go cheaper than mangga, take pepaya.
And while it’s in the season; pumpkin.
Avoid giving dry processed food all the time. A disaster for their health. Boil chicken, wortel, pumpkin, sweet potato, … and put it in a mixture.
Ours gets kibble, cooked chicken, rice, random veggies and mango and papaya as and when we have them with some watermelon thrown in now and then too.If you want to go cheaper than mangga, take pepaya.
