I thought I should put up some pictures of Nagpur SPCA and the facilities that we have. Of course, there is still a long way to go before anybody can catch a wink but still.....all thanks to the tireless efforts of Dr Marwah, we are the cleanest and the best run shelter in Nagpur and we care!

Thank you, Richa, for sharing this and allowing me to put this up on the blog. Do I go Home today? My family brought me home, Cradled in their arms. They cuddled me and smiled at me, And said I was full of charms.They played and laughed with me.They showered me with toys. I sure do love my family, Especially the girls and boys. The children loved to feed me. They gave me special treats. They even let me sleep with them, All snuggled in the sheets. I used to go for walks, Often several times a day. They even fought to hold the leash, I'm very proud to say. They used to laugh and praise me, When I played with that old shoe. But I didn't know the difference, Between the old one and the new. The kids and I would grab a rag, For hours we would tug. So I thought I did the right thing, When I chewed the bathroom rug. They said I was out of control, And would have to live outside.

This article is a continuation of the previous one. Here Dr Marwah elaborates on what the age of the puppy to-be-adopted should be. Age of the pup: The ideal time to pick up is when he is about 6 -8 weeks. By this time, the pup has been weaned off and must have started on solid food. While most breeders are in a hurry to give away the pups early, it must be insisted that the pup would be picked up only when he is 6-8 weeks old . This gives the pup enough time to socialize. Bringing a young pup i.e. 6-8 weeks or so requires lot of time in toilet training and inspite of all the possible precautions, mishaps do occur which may be frustrating. It requires lot of patience to house train a pet. Once that is achieved, he becomes an inseparable part of your life, not that otherwise he would not. It is like a child who wets the bed every other night but still gets all the love from the parents. Against this, picking up a grown up pet, say 5 months onwards, saves you the botheration of house tr
