Dog whisperer Dolito ~ I’ll Miss You

Coffee the Chihuahua was here with his sister. She made this appointment a few years ago and this day finally came.
 
Coffee said, “Your parents take care of me when you go abroad.” The sister nodded and confirmed that.
Coffee said, “I appreciate their effort.”
It was because of her parents that Coffee’s sister could go out without worrying too much.
Coffee said to his sister, “You’ll leave again. I’ll miss you.”
 
Coffee was an old dog already. He said, “Every time you went abroad, I wondered if I could ever see you again.” He was so worried that there might be a day when he was too old to make it till she came back. We all felt sad hearing that.
 
He said to her, “Take care of yourself.”
 
We hope the best for Coffee and his family, and hope that the sister can be there for him when he needs her the most.

Dog whisperer Dolito~ Pets talk: Louder

Every morning, a milkman comes to our pet hotel to deliver the milk at about 6:30am.
 
He came as usual this morning, and all the dogs barked at him like crazy. I happened to be there, so I tried to stop them, asking them to stop barking.
 
At this moment, Mow-Mow spoke. (Mow-Mow is the first dog that talks to Miss Dolito. You can see this post to get to know him. He’s old now and rarely talks.)
Mow-Mow said, “Gosh. Leave them alone. They’re just being united to fight their enemy together. Just let them. Cause you’re even louder than they are. It’s so noisy!”
 
What. . . the. . . ?

Dog whisperer Dolito ~ Pets talk: Vegetarian

Da-Ba the Basset Hound was five when he was taken to Miss Dolito. He sat there like it was none of his business. When he finally started talking, Miss Dolito found that he spoke Taiwanese instead of Mandarin. His family nodded and said that they did speak Taiwanese at home, especially the parents.
 
Da-Ba said all of a sudden, “She’s a vegetarian.”Miss Dolito asked them who Da-Ba was referring to. They immediately pointed to their mother; she was the vegetarian Da-Ba was talking about. Da-Ba said, “She wants me to be a vegetarian too. But I don’t want to.”
 
Everybody laughed so hard. They said, “That’s not true! We didn’t ask you to be a vegetarian!” But Da-Ba said, “I am a vegetarian right now. You want me to lose weights and you don’t let me eat meat.”
 
The family explained that they did it because Da-Ba had not been in a good condition. Da-Ba said, “Because you don’t let me eat meat.”
Da-Ba then referred to his big sister, “She’s heavier now. She gained a lot of weights. She needs a diet. I don’t need a diet.” The sister stared at him and said, “Yes you do!”
 
Da-Ba was still talking about the big sister, “She had been away from home for years. I was worried that she was fooling around.” Actually he didn’t need to be worried at all; the sister was only living outside because her school was too far away.
 
Da-Ba continued to talk about her, “She hates it when others nag at her. She’d get annoyed when Mom does that.” (Well, I guess lots of young people feel the same. So here’s the tip to avoid your parents’ nagging at you: Behave yourself.)
Da-Ba lied on the floor and suddenly said, “I want to sleep! It’s my bedtime now.”
The family opened their eyes widely. “What? That’s all? You wanna sleep now? Well. . .okay then. . .”
What could they do anyway?

Dog whisperer Dolito ~ Pets talk: Your Mom Told Me

 
Usually pets can’t talk, or at least can’t talk much, before they’re 1 year old. But nowadays owners and pets are getting closer than before, and more people talk to their pets. So now, some pets can talk very well even when they’re little.
 
Rei-Rei the Maltese, was only four month old when these pictures were taken. He started, “I have another owner.” The girl that held him carefully said, “That should be my mom.” Rei-Rei said, “The other owner is usually home. You’re seldom at home.” The girl lived at home with her mother and Rei-Rei. Her mother would take care of Rei-Rei when she went to school.
 
 
Rei-Rei said to her, “You are a student who doesn’t study.” The girl laughed. She did study. But she did it in her room without Rei-Rei’s witnessing. Then Rei-Rei said, “You sleep a lot. I never wake you up successfully.”
 
Rei-Rei’s owner nodded. She said Rei-Rei often went to her bed and licked her face or pushed her, trying to wake her up, but she was just too tired to get up. Rei-Rei was very confused, “Why do you sleep so much? I don’t understand. I don’t sleep that much.”
 
Well, you would understand if you had to work and study and do a lot of things and get old at the same time.
 

 
Rei-Rei said, “Your mom often gets angry because you spend too much money. She scolds you a lot.” The girl laughed louder this time.
 
There was more. Rei-Rei kept going, “You go out to meet your boyfriend. Your secret boyfriend.” The girl was surprised to hear that. She hadn’t introduced her boyfriend to her mom and Rei-Rei. How did Rei-Rei know that?
 
“Your mom told me.” said Rei-Rei, “Whenever you go out, your mom would say that she thinks you’re meeting your boyfriend.” Who could know more about a girl than the girl’s mother did? Of course her mother knew she was going out with her boyfriend!

Dog whisperer Dolito ~ Pets talk: Stop!

We still get lots of calls and e-mails from people who want to make an appointment with Miss Dolito, to see what their pets have to say to them. Unfortunately free pet consultation has a waiting list that ends in 2026 (so far) and most pets can’t wait that long. So Tien-Yuan Life Care Association makes an agreement with Miss Dolito that she will make some time for those who donate to help stray animals.
 
Wa-Wa the Schnauzer’s owner was one of those people. She couldn’t wait to know what was on her mind. And donating to help those homeless animals was also good for her. It was like killing two birds with one stone, except that no one’s gonna kill any bird.
Wa-Wa barked at us like crazy the second she saw us. That did scare us; thankfully her owner held her tight enough to keep us safe.
 
Wa-Wa said, “I bite! I have bitten a lot of people!” It sounded like a show-off. The owners nodded and confirmed her words. We rarely saw Schnauzers this fierce before.
 
She said, “I hate to go to the salon. Biting the groomer is my favorite thing to do.” then to her mom, “You’re so nice to me. You let me do whatever I want. Thank you!”
She went on talking to the mother, “You do all the housework. They never help you; all they do is take what you give. I hate that. I think you’re poor.”
 
Her mom smiled. They asked Wa-Wa about another sister who was currently in other country. Wa-Wa said, “I don’t want to talk about her. She lie to me. She said she’d be back soon but she didn’t. She fooled me. She doesn’t like me anymore. She’s got a new pet. I’m so mad!”
 
The mother and the sister had to explained to Wa-Wa that the little sister didn’t lie to her, that she would be back in a week. Well, but she did have a cat there. No wonder Wa-Wa got angry.
Wa-Wa said, “I love Mom the most.” then to the sister, “You, stop! Stop explaining. I won’t listen! Mom is my favorite!” She stopped talking after shutting her sister up. She was still mad at the little sister.

Dog whisperer Dolito - Pets talk: I Take His Place

We feel heavyhearted whenever getting calls from people asking for bringing their pet consultation forward because their pets are severely sick. We all know this time will come. But when it does, it’s just hard to accept.
 
Didi the Golden Retriever was brought to Miss Dolito by his mom and sisters. He hadn’t been in good condition. Didi said to them, “Dad isn’t around. So I take his place. I look after you.”
The owners nodded with smiles. They didn’t know how Didi thought about them, but now they did.
“I’m happy that I take his place.” said Didi, “I’ve been living with you for so long.”
The family was so touched. Didi was always there for them. He was their sweetheart.
 
Didi said, “I don’t know how long I can stay with you. I’ve been pretending that I’m fine, but I actually feel very unwell.”
 
The mother patted Didi gently. They were sad to know that Didi was pretending to be healthy and happy just in order not to worry them.
Didi then said, “I have to be strong!”
 
Because he took the responsibility of a father, Didi felt the need to be tough and to protect his family. Well, he did it.
He said, “I’m losing appetite now. I don’t know when I’ll be unable to eat. When that happens, it’ll be my time to leave.” The sisters’ eyes were filled with tears on hearing that.
 
 
Didi said to the sisters, “You were both not married yet. I thought I could make it to see you get married. But that’s not gonna happen.” They cried and encouraged Didi to have a little hope at least. And Didi said to them, “Don’t cry. You look ugly when you cry.” They finally smiled.
 
Didi said to his mom, “You’re still working.” then to the sisters, “Mom works so hard, and you two are just like little princesses. You need to grow up. You have to help your mom with the households. Don’t just sit there and do nothing.” The mother petted Didi and was happy about his support. The two sisters immediately nodded and promised they would help sharing their mother’s burden.
 
He said to one of the sisters, “You got this boyfriend so early that I was worried about you being played at first. But then I find that he is a nice person, and that he’s been tolerant of your deeds. Now I’m not worried anymore.”
Everyone laughed. Didi managed to make them feel less sad. He’s really a great pet. A great family member.
 
Didi said, “Take care of yourself.” then added, “Just don’t let me feel painful. The pain has started.” The mother nodded. Now they knew how Didi felt, they knew what to do to help him ease the pain.
 
Didi said to his mom, “You can think about retiring now.” He was also concerned about mom’s health. He said to the sisters, “You have the responsibility to take care of Mom. You should take care of her till her last breath.” They told Didi not to worry, and that they would definitely do that.
 
We hope all the pet owners can make the most of the time they spend with their pets together. When one of them has to leave, at least there will be no regrets.

Dog whisperer Dolito - Pets talk: Smile!

Even if our pets’ bone ashes were placed in the memorial pagoda, even if they rest here, sometimes, they would go home to see if everything is okay. It’s because they’re still concerned about their families. God would guide and guard them on the way. And because they’ve been staying with God, they’ve got power to bless their families. If they find their owners aren’t doing well, they’d help.
This Dutch Rabbit’s name is Tu-Pi. He is now resting in out memorial pagoda in Kaohsiung. His owner brings him tasty fruits whenever she comes visit him, and he’d be thrilled.
 
Tu-Pi said to his owner, “You’ve been a little upset lately.”
 
The owner remained quiet with a bitter smile. We could tell there really was something bothering her.
Tu-Pi said, “You should be happy. Don’t be sad. Be happy! Smile!”
She nodded and told him that she’d try.
 
Tu-Pi seemed to know what it was that bothered his owner. He said, “Something’s wrong with your work. I’ll bless you!”
 
Hopefully with Tu-Pi’s blessing, the girl could make it through. We wish her the best of luck!
