Our farm dogs - updates

Things have somewhat mellowed over at the farm. So far, no complaints and no news of the authorities heading down to cull our ultra friendly pack. The last time they went down, the men arrived in two vans, sets of wires and nooses, fully equipped to return to their stations with our captured dogs. I dread to imagine that.

The farm is going through a great deal of 'reorganisations'. While we have pacified tempers and softened tensions, we still hope that the people who live and work there will treat our dogs as part of the picture. For the dogs are the ones who ward off strangers, alert the residents and offer a good sense of protection to those who are okay with the dogs.

Seeing each of them greeting the caregiver with so much eager as she drives into the plot... it warms my heart. While the workers load goods onto the trucks, our dogs sometimes leap on it to 'kaypoh' in all the action. They scamper around, challenging a few newcomer dogs with mischief.

Until certain things are firmed up, we can only set contingency plans, in case these dogs are to be removed completely.

Sorry if I tend to romanticize our pack, but it's only natural to associate them with doses of sentimentalities. In the few years we've known the family, we got to know much about LOVE, innocence and pack cohesion -- these dogs have taught us much.

Let's carry this hope for our dogs, and continue in the education to others that dogs, even street dogs, shouldn't be feared, but respected as part our environment.
