Praying for Rossi gal

I never used to believe God would bless or help the furkids, a small part due to the influence of some cynics & a large part, due to the negative experiences I have had with His people years back. Experiences I rather forget, but they remain etched in my mind like they just occurred yesterday.

I always do my best for Rossi gal & I still do now, but I always feel that my best is not enough. I too realise that there is only so much I can do, for I am only human. I feel my own limitations. I recognise that I need a helping hand, but not of another human.

I need God's hand.

I have been praying for Rossi gal. I realise that He does care. He is unlike what some have portrayed Him to be. I dun wanna go into detail how I realised it. I sincerely pray and hope that God will always watch over & bless my precious little gal.

Her daddy, who has been a major skeptic all these years, sees God in a whole new light. He sees God & His goodness. He believes in His providence. This is a drastic 360 degrees change coming from someone who used to scorn at church & disbelieve in God.

For those who are rolling eyes & mocking me as you read this post, roll your eyes & mock me all you want. Just know that your actions are rude not only to me, but to God as well. Not that you would care, but I just wanted to let you know how rude you are. Feel free to continue in your rudeness though. No one is stopping you. :)

My Best Buddies

I have 2 best buddies.

My best buddy #1 is my GPS machine. It directs me to any place I wanna go to. I must admit that I'm a directional idiot on the road, which is why I need my best buddy (the GPS) to bring me around.

Most importantly, it takes me to the places where I get Rossi gal's meat supplies regularly. These are the places of priority that I make sure I mark down & favorited in my buddy.

Even when I take a wrong turn, I need not freak out, for my buddy will direct me back to the right route, leading me to my destination. It is a value-for-money investment, one that I'm so glad I have made.

Now I can go to anywhere on the Singapore map with my buddy in the lead. :)

My best buddy #2 is Google. It has provided me with a wealth of information that has helped me alot in taking care of Rossi gal's health & diet and also, in knowing where to get her necessities like her meats, supplements & stuff she uses.

There is a lot of stuff that can be easily found with a few keywords & a click of the mouse. It's just this simple. Virtually anything can be found on Google.

It's a wonder why some people dun make use of what Google has to offer. Too lazy to type or click the mouse? Or perhaps they just prefer to have the answers served to them on a platter? *Shrug*

I dun have the luxury of being served with answers. Neither do I like to be served nor to serve.

I prefer to 'be-friend' Google. ;)

While I'm happy to share & discuss things, I do not like the idea of being made use of, especially by those who can't be bothered to do their own research.

New Fish Oil

I purchased this salmon oil for Rossi gal on the recommendation of a fellow raw feeder. Previously, I was using Nordics Naturals Fish Oil (for Pets). Not implying that Nordics is not good, but I just want a change.  

We are sharing the big bottle between us. It would take her a long time to finish up all by herself. Besides, this is human grade, fine for me to take it.

As per the label, this salmon oil contains No sugar, No starch, No artificial colours, No artificial flavors, No preservatives, No wheat, No gluten, No corn, No soy, No dairy & yeast free. 

I like that it is free of the common allergens that might cause allergic reaction/s in some dogs, especially those sensitive ones (like my Rossi gal).

I also like that it contains no soy/vit E. In the raw discussion board I frequent, they give the advice to choose a fish oil without soy/vit E.

For Rossi's case, I think a fish oil without soy/vit E would be better for her. She may be fine with soy/vit E, but I would still choose to cut it out completely from her diet if possible. I feel it is best for her to avoid soy/vit E totally, especially when she is so sensitive.     

On a side note, a change of brand is good for me psychologically too, in a way. Nordics reminds me of some unwanted & unpleasant personal memories of previous relationships.

Friends come, Friends go. I have learnt that it is hard or perhaps, impossible for me to have any true friends. I never have the fortune of having friends who are willing to stick long enuff with me or accept me for who I am.

Some friends I have had the misfortune of knowing, only want to manipulate me into doing wat they want or following their ways without any regard for my feelings. I'm glad to be rid of such friends. Good riddance.

I dun believe in friends anymore. Not ever.

Her Personalized ID Tag

Call me a kiasu mummy.

With the recent unfortunate case of mis-read microchip, I decided to get an ID tag for Rossi gal with the necessary details (her name, microchip & my contact).

Not that daddy & I are not cautious with her, but this is just an added safety measure.

After browsing through some webbys & various tag designs, I came across a webby that does personalized tags, whereby the furkid's photo of the pawrent's choice is imprinted on the tag itself. Daddy & I thought this was interesting & decided to get a persoalized tag for her.

Darling's ID tag. :>

It comes with a rubber rim & a metal ring. The rubber rim is for framing the outer rim of the tag, so that it does not produce the "clink clink" sound when it hits against the collar/harness. The metal ring is for attaching the tag onto the collar/harness.

I like how the tag looks on her harness. Nice. :)

There is an option for a smaller tag, but daddy thought it would look kinda small. I'm glad I chose the bigger tag. The tag's size looks just right with her harness. ^^
