Gigi, Dolma & Zamkar visits!!!
Tonight I had Gigi, Dolma, Zamkar brought over to play with Mumu, Oser and Dharma. They all got along real well and played alot. It’s nice for them to run around together in fresh air and mingle.
I watched them really enjoy themselves. After playing they had fresh vegetables snacks and a good cleaning wipe down. On the way home, Gigi and Dolma fell into a deep relaxing sleep from all the play.
Mumu, Oser and Dharma were all very tired after the playing. Very cute. And now sleeping deeply.

(Gigi and Dolma are Chris & James dogs. Gigi used to be abused by the previous owner very badly..so much that people couldn’t touch her or she would growl… but ok now with Chris and James giving her alot of love. She is friendly and loving….. Dolma was lost lost dog… Chris and James took her in…nice. She was lost and then found a new loving home….now she is fine with Chris and James…
Zamkar is Paul’s doggie.)
Here they are!! A group photo after their playing…cute!! We are going to have them get together at least twice a week when schedule permits…
They are all friends….
Nice to see them play together and play with them. Its makes their mind happy and less stess being in the house alone most of the time. If we can give litte bit of happiness in their lifes whay not. As Rinpoche said having pets its not just a hobby or they are cute. Its because we love and care for them. Today they really enjoyed playing together cute Mumus muuuuuuua see u soon. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this video
It is a huge job to get them post for the picture, LOL. So cute!
It’s super cute to see them greet each other! Dogs are social animals and it’s good for them to bond.
African wild dogs stay in packs of between 30-50 strong. some dogs stay behind to mind the young ones while the rest go hunting. Those hunting dogs feed the left-behinds by regurgitating food when they returned after the hunt.
Hehe… This is so nice and feel warm to see them gather together. Can’t stop my smiling when watching them run around and busy with others, hehe! They look really really cute and very happy, hehe..
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this video and also for giving our dogs to Rinpoche’s place and mix with Mumu, Orser and Dharma and also to have them get together at least twice a week when schedule permits.
And also thank you KB for taking care of them. KB is such a good daddy. He always takes good care for all these animals.
Super cute and sweet.
Spending time with friends are the simple pleasures of life. Animals are not that very different from humans on this and various other aspects.
It is important to recognize this so that we are able to care for and nurture our pets in a comprehensive way.
Gigi, Dolma, Zamkar, Mumu, Oser and Dharma are very fortunate to find loving homes.
Thank you Rinpoche for letting them play together and also the all the care given to us and our dogs.
When Gigi first came to our home, she was so scared, every time when we wanted to pat her, she would ran away or even bite us.
For the first 2 weeks I told myself, well maybe that’s it, we can only feed her and that’s all we can do, but Chris said no, lets try and see maybe she will change, so daily we chant Om Mani Padme Hum, hope she will be “softer” with people.
True enough, she become softer and closer to us. Now every night she will jump to the bed, and sleep next to me (Dolma sleep with Chris.)
I like animals but on a superficial level, until one day, when Rinpoche asked Su Ming and I went to his apartment, to get dog house, food and install Fan for Patches which rescued by Adelyn, Rinpoche gave a teaching from there it changes.
When dog or any animals be with us, it is because we have “Bad relationship Karma”, maybe the dog had done something not good during pass life to us and this life they have to rely on us whether food, medication etc etc.
“Bad relationship Karma” can be purified by taking care of the dog well, give them love, give meditation, shower them, play with them then our relationship with the dog and other people will be better(karma is karma whether is with dog or people).
Knowing I’m attached to relationship, I gave a try then. I play with Gigi and Dolma more, shower them (which normally done by groomer or Chris), trim their hair…I would say, my relationship with my friends and family become better and even closer.
Whether the “Bad relationship Karma” been purified or not, but I think in certain way when taking care of the dogs, it soften my heart too.
How nice to watch the six dogs frolicking around the pool and then, after all the play, become so quiet, peaceful and happy.
Mumu, Oser and Dharma must have been delighted with their visitors. How easily they all became friends.
James, thank you for sharing the story of Gigi and also Rinpoche’s Dharma talk on animals that we adopt as pets. Now, i will relate better with my 5 cats (abandoned cats whom I rescued and have adopted as pets).I have a seven-month old cat who has been terrified of us from the very start(We found him when he was only two months old). He still runs away every time I come near him. He only stays for the food and then disappears. Now, I must chant Om Mani..with him.
Super duper cute to see them happily playing together!!!
my landlord won’t let me have a dog so i enjoy the videos very much.
