I have been away to Hokkaido for a while and did not get a chance to blog. Would like to take this opportunity to wish all a very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year , the year of Dog.

In the year of dog does not mean that one has to get a dog to enjoy good feng shui and good luck. Getting a dog is a long term commitment. A small breed dog can live up to 14 years of age and one that get a dog must be willing to spend time to train their dogs, play with them, walk them and take well care of their welfare and good health throughout their life time. Hence, please think carefully before you get one. If you are not ready for the commitment, you may want to consider buying some dog music box instead 🙂
