Purebred Schnauzer found, female, abandoned in a riverside park, unkempt but now groomed. Checked-up, health good(8 kilos,) and good companion dog looking for human comfort. DEFINITELY AN INSIDE DOG, soft, soft bark, well behaved.

Help a dog long used for commercial purposes and then dumped find its rightful home. PM me if you're wanting to see her. All free.

I really didn't want to give her away anyways, seeing there's this 'scrap-and-scrape' sense of things here, like "I'm here. . .all that counts. . .must stick my chest out. . .dogs come last. . .Asian thing. . .they eat 'em. . ." while all along the higher-ups believe you must identify in order not to be a "newbie", but must be a man, forget feeling.

I'm offering something here that might change your life, make you staunch that nastalgia, not your pocket book. It'll not only change your life in a personal sense, but moreso in a social sense. SEE HOW MANY TAIWANESE FAWN OVER DOGS!. See how much you can offer this community, this crassness.

Don't play Confucious-come-lately. Even the devoted Buddhists belieive dogs are worth helping. Christ, CLAIM SOMETHING YOUR OWN instead of your self-existence.

Damn, makes me mad, have three dogs now, must keep them on the roof at night, and yet are so grateful, worth more than gold, one a gold medalist of poetry.

Crap, ever hear about the train station in Japan called 'Shin-ju-ku,' or something or another, how a Japanese business man had walked his dog side-by-side for years to and from work and(now here's a country that used to skin their dogs,) to the station, the dog meeting him afterward everytime, he then dying and the dog still faithfully coming and going for years theraafter?

Now a monument there, where he boys meet the girls as a symbol of their faithfulness.

Crap, I'm saddened no one will help this dog, a purebred at that, almost like a poet's tongue strapped for words, scorched by hatred of having spoken sympathy.

'Humanism', made women slaves, men macho, misfits to nature, murals on Art Museums of Chicago, Jackson Pollock.

Why don't you try posting this on Forumosa. There are a lot more long termers over there. Most people round here only stay a year or two and then move on, which is hardly ideal for the dog.

Just a thought.

(Ignore the message on the other post - a momentary lapse in concentration)
