6 dogs inside the house...

We have 6 dogs at home.
And we kept them inside the house.
2 dogs are in the backyard, free all day long,
4 are inside the house, they are caged most of the time, but free for about 2 hours in the morning and another 2 hours in the afternoon.

We kept them caged, because it's too chaos to have 4 dogs constantly being crazy at home, esp they're not house broken, which means we have to pick up poop and clean up pee whenever they relieve their selves.

We hardly take them out for a walk outside the house, because they're all small breed, and our house have enough room to ran and chase each other around.
Those 4 little brats are pretty crazy, and active.
Comparing to muffin who is free 24/7, I think 4 little brats are doing quite a lot of exercise.

And since its Indonesia, where people are not so friendly with dogs, of course it's safer to have dogs caged, rather than if they ran away, and wandering around in the neighborhood, and got beaten by bad people, like ma has seen before.

She saw a dog got chained really tight on its neck, near the river in our neighborhood.
Its dying, ma walked back home, take some dog food and water, and give it to the dog.

Dog drank, but no strength to eat. Ma take off its chain and throw it to the river, so no one would chain him again.
The dog is full of fleas, everywhere, so ma called pa, and asked what can we do to help.


Pa said that they will take the dog to the vet in the afternoon, after pa come back from work.
If the vet could get rid all the fleas, and bring him back his health, we will find someone to adopt him.

At around 6pm, ma and pa go to the place where the dogs were laying before.
And they can't find him.
But then they saw some piles of leaves nearby, and they saw that the dog is there.
BURNED to death.
and not completely burned, but half burned.
As if someone is playing with fire to the helpless dog, and fire get bigger and burned the dog to death.

I will never know whether the dog is dead first and then got burned or the other way around.
Anyway, this story bring tears into my eyes.

I also have heard people telling me about people being mean to dogs, tied them to motorcycle and dragged them around the neighborhood, alive !, and others, it hurts me to hear this kind of story.

All I know is that our family has made the right decision to keep the dog inside the house, as we are not living in the country where people are friendly to dogs.

Keep your opinion about freedom of dogs, that doesn't apply in our country.

Sincerely yours !
