We did not learn our lesson apparently. The last time we brought Toby to Singapore Botanic Gardens, there was a heavy downpour right after the picnic.

Today, we were trapped in the rain again. But this time, we didn’t even get to start our picnic. The rain came right after we reach Singapore Botanic Gardens. Toby didn’t get to meet Pipi. We didn’t get to join our friends because they were at the other end and the goddamn rain lasted for more than an hour.

The drenched dog wasn’t too happy because the three of us were stuck in a miserable shelter and he had to walk in the rain without meeting his new friend. Lesson learnt – Love my client and use their weather forecast.

1. To prevent the births of unwanted litters, contributing to the overpopulation of animals. Each year, some 6,000 dogs and 12,000 cats have to be put to sleep, while about 700 pet owners are fined for keeping unlicensed dogs.
2. Prevention of mammary tumors
3. Prevention of pyometra, either due to the removal of the organ and/or because of the lack of female sex hormones (oestrogen and progesterone) after spaying. Pyometra is a disease of the uterus most commonly seen in female dogs (bitches)
4. Prevention of uterine cancer, ovarian cancer and testicular cancer due to the removal of the susceptible organs.
5. Prevention of sexually dimorphic behaviors such as mounting, urine spraying and some forms of male aggression due to the decrease in hormone levels
6. The above will also make your pet more affectionate and less likely to roam and get in fights

Because of the pain, the little one is in all sorts of awkward positions and he has to be on e-collar for 10 days before he redeems his freedom.

The little one basking under the sun. Do you see Mr Bean?

It was such a heartwarming moment as I watched their eyes shut uncontrollably. They must have made a pact to meet at La-la Land.
