Pet: For the love of Pug (Ivo)

Dogs are mans best friend. They came in different breed and different level of intellect. They stay loyal to you and loved you the same way that you loved them. They can be protective and possessive.

The breed that I'm really passionate about were PUGS. They're cute and cuddly. Playful and at the same time sweet.

Pugs were called in so many ways like Lo-Chiang-Sze in Chinese. It was said that PUG became popular during Shang Dynasty. However the detailed origin of Pugs were destroyed during Emperor Qin Shi Huang leadership, the  first emperor in China. As expected detailed information of PUGs origin fell into mystery.

Most often than not, Pugs are in compact form, a deep chest and well developed muscles. Confucius called them as "Short-mouthed dog" but Pugs were mostly described as "multum in parvo"  which means "Much in little".

True to their form, they are strong but as all animals do they have health problems too. Because of their sad-wrinkled face, it's really heart breaking when you see them suffers from either Exophthalmos/proptosis, Entropion or scratch cornea. Most of these diseases can be cured by a vet. However if these diseases occurs often on your pugs, you have to put them on your vets watchful eyes.

PUGs most painful disease that you have to be worried about is necrotizing meningoencephalitis (NME), also known as pug dog encephalitis (PDE). It's an inflammation of the brain. Pugs that got this disease will last only a few months and most vet will suggest that the pug will be put to sleep since there is no known cure for this disease.

For us owners of PUGS, we have to be watchful on every activity that our pugs will do.

1. Clean the underneath of their folds regularly because it might irritate their face. 
2. Avoid trauma on their heads or neck.
3. Avoid using tight leash instead of harness.
4. Watch their diet, as they are also prone to obesity.
5. Bring them to a Vet for a monthly check up.

Well, it's like a "do or loose" situation. Pugs are like helpless kid so we can't tell if they are already in pain. Let's take care of them like a baby. :D

"Misery loves its' company"

When you let yourself be an open book and open to everyone, it will be so easy for them to reap the pages and cut you open. Well I guess being human supposed to be sad as this. A life cycle of misery. One minute you're happy and the next hours you're sad. Pathetically striving for happiness which always has a rediculous aftermath. You laugh hard but you'll cry harder.

Being a loner is not being a loser. It's like a way of shutting people out of your life. Just let them being there and let them be happy but please.... just leave me alone. If you don't mean me misery just let me be. There's no use of friendship or caring for someone, now that I'm back to my old self. I'm falling out of reach. But somewhere out there, the mem'ries were kept.

So now, shut the f*ck up and s*ck up all the things that you wanted to say because if i'll listen there's no use. Adios!

Nostalgia

Modern days in modern City seemed unreal. People is busy as a bee. Buzzing when they passed by me. Bumping each other like old friends and couldn't care much if it hurts or not. Niether couldn't pause for a second to be human and perhaps said "Ouch! That hurts." Time is running out and minutes were counted. Somehow, that's what we call life. Maybe it only happens here.

I couldn't imagine I will be this nostalgic with memories. Those yesterdays' feelings seemed so mundane but it matters now. The monotonous living at home. The slowly but surely meal. The memories you've gathered from taking time under blanket and sheets were once taken for granted but now it's nostalgic. The boring life. The dust on every gravelled street seemed better. Hasten only happened when somehings burning. However, It only happens under circumstances.

But here, under this towering building and this burning heat of the sun, life is always at haste. It grows tiresome. It gets boring. Nostalgia is a bitch and I cracked at it.
