Keeping A Dog In The House

[Khalasthan86]

I was thinking to have a dog, and as everyone knows dogs eat meat, and since we Sikhs are vegetarian, is it ok if we touch meat, to feed our dog?

[Sarbat da Pala]

ਜੀਆ ਕਾ ਆਹਾਰੁ ਜੀਅ ਖਾਣਾ ਏਹੁ ਕਰੇਇ ॥

jeeaa kaa aahaar jeea khaanaa eaehu karaee |

Animals eat other animals; this is what the Lord has given them as food.

[chatanga]

jeea is not animals. it means living things. you want a dog for what reason?

[TejiKaur]

Waheguru Ji Dhan Dhan Guru HarGobind Sahib Ji kept dogs with him dont believe me read Bhai Gurdas Jis Bani

ਧਰਮਸਾਲ ਕਰਿ ਬਹੀਦਾ ਇਕ ਥਾਉਂ ਨ ਟਿਕੈ ਟਿਕਾਇਆ ।

dharamasaal kari baheedaa ik daaun n tikai tikaaiaa|

The earlier Gurus considered that to give instructions and to preach to the people, one has to sit at one place known as dharamshala, but this Guru (Hargobind) does riot stick to one place.

Line 1

ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹ ਘਰਿ ਆਵਦੇ ਗੜਿ ਚੜਿਆ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹ ਚੜਾਇਆ ।

paatisaah ghari aavaday garhi charhiaa paatisaah charhaaiaa|

Earlier emperors would visit the house of the Guru, but this Guru has been interned by the king in a fort.

Line 2

ਉਮਤਿ ਮਹਲੁ ਨ ਪਾਵਦੀ ਨਠਾ ਫਿਰੈ ਨ ਡਰੈ ਡਰਾਇਆ ।

umati mahalu n paavadee natdaa dhirai n darai daraaiaa|

The sarigat coming to have his glimpse cannot find him in the palace (because generally he is not available). Neither he is scared of anybody nor does he scare any one yet he is always on the move.

Line 3

ਮੰਜੀ ਬਹਿ ਸੰਤੋਖਦਾ ਕੁਤੇ ਰਖਿ ਸਿਕਾਰੁ ਖਿਲਾਇਆ ।

manjee bahi santokhadaa kutay rakhi sikaaru khilaaiaa|

Earlier Gurus sitting on the seat instructed people to be content but this Guru rears dogs and goes out for hunting.

Line 4

ਬਾਣੀ ਕਰਿ ਸੁਣਿ ਗਾਂਵਦਾ ਕਥੈ ਨ ਸੁਣੈ ਨ ਗਾਵਿ ਸੁਣਾਇਆ ।

baanee kari suni gaanvadaa kadai n sunai n gaavi sunaaiaa|

The Gurus used to listen to Gurbani but this Guru neither recites nor (regularly) listens to hymn-singing.

Line 5

ਸੇਵਕ ਪਾਸ ਨ ਰਖੀਅਨਿ ਦੋਖੀ ਦੁਸਟ ਆਗੂ ਮੁਹਿ ਲਾਇਆ ।

sayvak paas n rakheeani dokhee dusat aagoo muhi|aaiaa|

He does not keep his follower servants with him and rather maintains nearness with the wicked and the envious ones (Guru had kept Painde Khan nearby).

Line 6

ਸਚੁ ਨ ਲੁਕੈ ਲੁਕਾਇਆ ਚਰਣ ਕਵਲ ਸਿਖ ਭਵਰ ਲੁਭਾਇਆ ।

sachu n|ukai|ukaaiaa charan kaval sikh bhavar|ubhaaiaa|

But the truth is never concealed and that is why on the lotus feet of the Guru, the mind of 'Sikhs hover like a greedy black-bee.

[Guest Bloom]

In My Opinion,

Dogs Can Be Vegan. One Can Do an Extensive Search on This Online. One Should come Across Detailed Studies, Veterinarian Advice Etc. Dogs Can Be Vegan. Even Live a Healthier Life! (Before Anyone Disagrees With Me in Haste; Kindly Do the Search Online; You Should come Across Detailed Studies! Etc.) There are Vegan Dog Foods Etc. As Well. Perhaps Talking to a Vegan Diet For Dogs Supporting Veterinarian Can Be Useful.

Chardi Kala!

i have been lucky enough to have two dogs...

the first was a rotty who i fed meat...but he enjoyed it and if i tried to give him veg. dog food it wud've been hard for him to change to it as he was use to eating meat as a pup. however the other maltese dog we have...we get veg. dog food from the store and we never give him any meat and both are healthy.

and they love nitnem;)

I have two dogs - Lab and Doberman and there is no way that these dogs can have full tummy by even 8 or 9 Patshaday per meal. Both of them are on IAMS diet.

Plus no milk for dogs as it can become fatal to their long term health and it weakens their digestive system.

[apnepart2]

bro i had a doberman in punjab and i fed him shud desi buffallo milk twice a day. he looked like babbar sher and lived fourteen years and died very old and he outlived allmost all dogs around the area. his digestive system remained very good tiil the end of his life.
