quiet sat..dying dog..

it's a sat .. most kids who still haf parents or relatives, go back to their home for the weekend.. so.. it's prob bout half of the 44 children left today. kinda quiet.. hmm..

oh,my toe stil can't wriggle much.. hurts like mad. can stil walk though.. dun tink it's so much of a prob tat i need to go to the hosp. wil juz leave it to heal =)
found out ve got lotta bruises though.. they juz appeared yest. all from the accident.. maybe i shd go for a massage..might help huh. hee. promote blood circulation right! =P

1more week here..sobz.. time really flies.. wish i cd stay longer.. im kinda stressed over going back really... cos i know then i haf to "get a decent job" or however sm ppl like to put it. going back to the stress of life.. the ridiculous pace n competition there.. it's very close to over-whelming for me..

dogs.. there's this particular dog here (the black n white one in the pic..)... tat I feel alotta sympathy for.. it's like a discriminated dog.. he's old n sick.. n we think he's close to dying.. he has been frothing lately..n looking very ill. but..unlike places where we can call up an "SPCA" or similar orgn. to take care of them..stray dogs here are often left to die if hurt.. there are just too many ..n most of them haf rabies..

this particular dog..his name is "NaPi"... i mentioned it's discriminated...cos it's often ill-treated by the peepz ard.. which i reeaaly dun feel comfortable with. it's always kicked ard..slapped or pushed off harshly.. even the kids learnt to do tat... (they really learn fast from bad examples...)
i dun exactly know why it's being treated so unfairly bcos the other 2 dogs are fed n pampered.
figured it's prob cos he's dirty n old. suddenly..it just came to me tat...alot of times, humans are treated the same way.. nobody wants u when u are old n dirty.. they find u useless.. while everyone loves young cute babies n clean children..

everytime i look at NaPi..i feel sad for him. i know he prob has rabies n it's not wise to stay near him.. but..honestly ...even if he's sick.. we dun haf the right to kick it, abuse it or bring him to death faster... sometimes unkind words used to describe these "unwelcomed" dogs can be little too harsh for me to take.. they are still lives after all.. they had their parents who love them.. they haf feelings too. (esp dogs..i dun need to say much..)

anyway.. found out smtg interesting.. was told when near death... dogs will "automatically" know..n they often wander far away from their "home" to die peacefully.. i was really amazed by how they do that... not sure why.. maybe they don't wish to be a "burden" to their owners (having to bury them or clear their carcass.) or maybe they don't wish to make them too upset... whatever the reason is..it's just amazing..
anybody here who owned a dog has such experience?? ve heard from friends whose dogs did tat....
it's really cool i tink... how sweet..

with metta,
