sis, i didnt have a dog the whole time i was in medschool.
sis, what made you decide na di kumuha ng dog during medschool?
Sis glamorouschic, kala ko nasabi ko na lahat, eto may isasagot na naman ako haha! Sorry ha, sadyang opinionated lang ako at lahat napapansin ko hahaha!
I agree that blaming others is really not an option. Because no matter what happens, kung sino ang kumuha ng dog, responsibilidad nya lahat, walang pero pero. Yes gift sya but that's not a valid excuse, you chose to get the puppy, she is now your responsibility. Remember na sa way ng pagaalaga masusukat kung gano tayo karesponsable.
Sa totoo lang wala tayong karapatan na ibilin sila sa ibang tao, pero kung gusto mong maintindihan nila yung mga sasabihin mo, try the "role model" technique. Show them how you do it, don't say anything, just let them see you doing it. You don't have to tell them step by step pano gagawin, as long as nakikita nila yung passion mo for your dog, maiintindihan ka nila, and eventually makakabisado rin nila yung routine mo. Kasi yung pagpanis ng food, the yaya is not accountable for that. Kung magutom sya dahil hindi napakain, or pinakain ng marami hindi rin nila yun kasalanan, we have to accept that it is always the owners fault. So pano natin maiiwasan ang mga ganyang bagay? Simple lang, we have to think of ways para hindi yun mangyare, like setting a schedule for our dogs. Feed them, give them a bath, groom them, exercise them during our free time. And kung wala sa bahay buong araw, wala ng ibang magandang gawin kundi icrate sila to avoid accidents. nakakaawa at pwede silang kainisan pag nagingay, pero walang ibang accountable dito kundi tayong mga amo. Malaking responsibilidad ang pagkakaron ng aso so sa atin dapat manggaling lahat ng rules at kailangan firm tayo sa pag implement para walang sisihan sa huli.
With regards to feeding, most of us will think that readily prepared food like dry kibbles is the safest choice especially when we don't have much time, but it is not, it is just the most convenient choice for pet owners. I am not forcing you to do things for her, sabi ko nga nasa iyo ang desisyon. I am just sharing everything I know kasi nonsense din kung itatago ko lang sa sarili ko. It is you who said na mas maalaga ka kaysa sa nagbigay, so prove it, not for anyone else but for your dog. Remember that you're not doing this for anybody else, dahil lahat ng gagawin mo ngayon, kayong dalawa din ang magrereap in the future

Para di ot, let's go back to the topic. Aside from the commercial tick and flea medication, sino na yung nakatry ng natural remedies (lalo sa long haired dogs) like garlic, apple cider vinegar, essential oils like citronella, etc. I've tried garlic, brewer's yeast and acv with my other dog, hindi ko lang alam kung effective ba talaga, kasi kahit nung wala akong nilalagay, madalang ko talaga sya makitaan ng fleas. Sa 4 years na magkasama kami, siguro mga 5 times lang ako may nakita. Kaso short coated sya, kaya di ko sure kung same din ang effect sa long haired. Di ko magawa sa shih tzu ko kasi nasa loob ng bahay at ang baho ng acv hahaha!
