431. Application of toilet training knowledge. How to do it?
Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
"The puppy is my present for her," the father spoke quietly as I vaccinated the puppy for a fair be-spectacle slim 14-year-old. "She had good examination results."
"With top marks, you could study in any subject you like," I said. "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"A veterinarian," she did not hesitate. Seldom do 14-year-olds in Singapore know what they profession they want to be. Their minds are still wandering in music and computer online games and chat. Even if they want to be veterinarians, they do not have the top grades to get into the undergraduate studies.
"You have a very good chance if you continue to excel in your studies," I advised. "Only that your father may need to save to more than $300,000 for the 5-year-old studies in Australia, as at 2006. Fees seem to be increasing every year. By the time you are ready in 5 years, the fees may be $400,000. You may apply for the one or two veterinary scholarships given per year."
Sometimes, it may be better to have not so clever a child if the parent cannot pay for the overseas education. There is no veterinary course in Singapore. Most recent graduates are from Australia. A quarter of a million dollars --- not peanuts --- from the parents must have been spent in the recent graduate. A parent's retirement money,love and hope have not been in vain for those young veterinarians.
I was glad to meet a top student in the top class in Secondary Two. It was a rare meeting because the top 5% are so few in number. She would be around the age of my friend's daughter called Melissa Chua whom I had not seen for a long time. She told me she was Melissa's classmate in the primary school but they separated to various classes in Secondary School.
"Do you know how to toilet train your puppy since you must have researched and surfed the internet for knowledge?" I asked her as her best friend, a slim girl who did not wear spectacles held her puppy.
"It is not as easy in practice," the girl said.
Knowledge is power. But the devil is in the details of the execution of the teaching! "How to apply the knowledge?" Each puppy and situation is unique. Is there a formula or instruction manual?
I hope to write one. Will it be a best seller? I doubt it. But there seems to be a need to get this book out. For first-time puppy owners and for puppies to be in good hands.
