Rescue and Pet A Cat


Most of children love pets. Pets may be cuddly, fun, and playful. They can delight us with their grace, cuteness, and become a part of the families. Cats and dogs are the most popular pets. Many people keep small animals like birds, rabbits, hamsters, fish, turtles, and the reptiles, those are most often kept as pets.

Our family ever kept some small pets from hamsters to fish. Our son, Vito, really wanted to pet some animals so bad. Sadly, he was just too little to keep them all, he hasn't understood yet how to take good care of his pets. So we decided not to pet the animals until he understands enough.

He's now 8 years old. It had been a long time since he wanted to keep a cat. I and my husband haven't given a permission yet. Suddenly, some time ago, there was a sick cat always came to our house, and sometimes the cat stayed on the neighbor's porch. One of my neighbor threw the cat away from our neighborhood, but the cat back again and finally often settled and slept on the porch of our house. I never imagined before putting away the cat, I just let it stay on our porch even though the cat kept scratching his scab, its skin sometimes got bloody, and the fur fell out.
The condition when the first time
it came to our house
(October 2017)
I felt sorry about it, suddenly Vito said "Bunda, I wanna pet the cat, you may buy the cat food from my savings", My heart's so melted. I said, "Before you get a pet, it’s important to know what it needs" . He's so certain, the permission granted, he suddenly named the cat "Jacky". 

I told him that pet needs love and care. We expect our pets to love us, the important things that we give them the love and care they need in return. Our pets will depend on us for food, grooming, attention, affection, and also medical care. Jacky's condition was so bad. I treated with Scabies ointment after consultation with veterinarian and the pet shop keeper gave me much suggestion and input. Alhamdulillah after several months of treatment, Jacky's condition getting better, the fungus and scab on his ears disappeared and its fur is stronger. Jacky looks so much better and healthier now. We love Jacky!

"A pet is a responsibility as well as a companion. Keeping a pet means keeping a promise to care and love for it. If we can do that, we can have wonderful experiences with pets".

Father and Son: Building Bonds

As a mom, there's nothing quite as heartwarming as watching the special bond between my son and his dad unfold. Lately, their quality time has evolved into a full-blown workshop, and it's been an absolute blast to witness. From the rhythmic clanking of wrenches to the quiet concentration over tiny circuits, their shared passions are creating some truly unforgettable memories and some pretty cool projects too. So,  let me tell you all about the incredible, grease-stained, and glue-covered world of my favorite father-son duo! Gearing Up: Motorcycle Mechanic Masters-in-Training! My son absolutely lights up when his dad pulls out the tools for a bit of two-wheeled maintenance. This isn't just about "fixing" something; it's a full-on lesson in mechanical stuff. They start with the basics. My son learns about the pads, the calipers, and the importance of a properly functioning braking system for safety. He gets to see how all those parts work together. But it’s not ...

Teaching English for Young Learners

(Personal doc.) Teaching English language to Indonesian young learners, especially those around kindergarten age and elementary student can be quite challenging. Teaching always has been becoming my favorite thing since long time ago, this is what I'm passionate about. I've been teaching since I graduated from University. Starting in 2011, I had the privilege of teaching English to students from 3rd to 12th grade at a prestigious institution. I truly loved every minute of it. Teaching looks simple, isn't it? You won't say that until you try it by yourself. You need extra skill when teaching English to kids. so, here are things you need to concern:

More Than Just Petals: Flower Arranging is My Happy Place

Hey there, flower lovers! As someone who absolutely adores flowers, I wanted to chat a bit today about something that brings me so much joy. It's flower arranging! Seriously, my happy place involves a vase and some fresh blooms. Now, you might be thinking, "Isn't it just, like, sticking flowers in a vase?" And while, yes, that's technically part of it, there's so much more to it than meets the eye. It's a creative outlet, a mood booster, and honestly, a pretty skill to have in your back pocket.
