A Right or a Death Warrant?

There are others who are lost due to the negligence & ignorance of the Government & the Parliament who just knows to pass a bill… they say it is a bill but it seems it is a death warrant which they issue with a smirk on their faces. It is impossible for a common man to exercise his / her right in Independent India.

Below is the list of people who were killed in 2010 for being brave enough to stand against corruption & the corrupt;

It is not just Shehla who we have lost; our country is losing the brave souls on daily basis by being denied their right to live a respectful life. Let’s wake up to the reality & come together to fight for mother of all causes – The Cause of Humanity, because if humanity gets the opportunity to survive… there will be no cause left to fight.

I care… let’s say together “WE CARE”

Dogs Chasing 2/4 Wheelers, why and how to Tackle…

Human chasing a wrong goal is like dogs chasing motorbikes and cars; there will be no achievement in both the cases… only frustration. - Manoor Sachdev

“C.S” was asked this before and was asked again yesterday - Why do dogs chase cars and motorbikes and how to deal with it as it is dangerous for both Human and the Dog?

The Explanation - Dogs chase and bark behind cars, bikes because they see them as unstable, fast moving things... (One will always see them focusing on the tyres). They still haven't got used to it and might never as dogs don't like anything Human or his material world which is unstable. They would do anything for the environment that is calm and under control.

Why it happens - When a human sees a dog chasing his vehicle the following happens;

• Some mostly speed up further – Result - Only nurturing the dog behavior by exhibiting their unstable ways, which dogs see as a prey and chase till a certain point then give up. They don’t give up only because it has gone out of their territory, but because the “grapes were sour”;
• Some, try slowing down and zigzagging their vehicle to shoo them or hurt them – Result - Again nurturing the dog behavior by exhibiting their unstable ways but with a fight. During these chases you will see the dog not giving up so easily and continue barking for some more time once the vehicle speeds away;
• Some panic and start shouting using their expressive body language (nervousness, agitation and anger etc) while trying to get away – Result - Again nurturing the dog behavior for a fight but by being a prey. This ends up in a bite to a human or the dog being beaten, thus bringing an end to the situation for that moment but with loss suffered by both the parties.

The Solution - In today’s scenario and challenging lifestyle humans are deprived of one thing, which is “Time”. I know, it is very easy for us to explain a path to achieve the opposite of any negative behavior of a dog which is always going to be time consuming, but what has one achieved in life till date that happened in a click of a moment. We need to remember, work very hard on the fact that we are humans and nothing is impossible for us.

I went off track in the above paragraph so that you can look at things differently; now let’s get back to the solutions;

• Remember what ever situation one is in with the dog be it a stray or a pet, only if you are calm and assertive there will be no incidents which will make life difficult for the dogs, who is a part of nature. We cannot ignore them as we are humans,  only we can think and find solutions;
• If one is in the car and notices a dog chasing, please stop your car, roll your window down and tell the dog “NO” only twice in 10seconds. The dog should stop barking and retreat , but if he doesn’t (chances are too low) turn off your engine and say “NO” again but only twice in 10seconds… by this time the dog will disappear;
• The ones on the bike and bicycles should follow the same procedure but get off your 2wheeler on the opposite side of the where the dog is and stand tall when saying “NO”, don’t be nervous or intimidated. Remember you are a human and can control any situation and your 2wheeler is supporting you in the cause.

Solutions for dog owners - Dog owners have to be extra cautious if their dogs are chasing the vehicles on the road and can come under huge liabilities if they are not able to control the behavior. Given below are some tips to follow and reverse your dogs chasing behavior;

• First and foremost every dog should have a collar around them all the time if they are not well behaved in any department. This gives you easy hold to control them in troubled areas in the house (avoid using choke chains or any such collars because they give you less chance of controlling them);
• Second most important is before going for a walk, forget everything your dog has done in the past and begin a new day. Never get nervous, angry, frustrated etc during the entire walk;
• Always walk your dog on the leash when out for the walks and never let them loose near the road;
• First & last 15minutes of the walk should be your way, in between you can give your dog 15minutes to relieve themselves, socialize and sniffing around;
• Always be aware of what is your dog up to when walking, so that you can react before they lunge or want to chase a vehicle. Few signs which will tell you that your dog is going to react are;
  • The dog will get away from sniffing and focus on the oncoming vehicle or object;
  • The head of the dog will push forward and go in the level of their shoulder or below;
  • The dog might crouch, getting in the position to attack;
  • The speed of the walk will become slower due to which they will be left back and you will require to pull;
  •  The dog will stop sniffing in the air for the thing he is focusing on.
  •  Always walk the dog;
    • On a tight leash, right next to your thigh when in heavy traffic areas;
    • On your right side and always walk towards the oncoming traffic, which will keep you aware of the vehicles crossing by very close to you and will give you more control when your dog is away from the passing vehicle; (this has lot many benefits for women too, tell me your guesses)
    • If your dog does lunge or try to chase a vehicle never pull them backwards instead tug them on the inside towards your knees;
    • Once in control make the dog to sit and stay for minimum 30seconds and face the situation, they should only move when you do, if the dog gets up before, repeat the process (while sitting make sure your dog is not focusing on anything in particular and should look back at you in small intervals);
    • At the end of your walk, spend 10to15minutes standing at a point where the vehicles are not very close but visible, your dog should ideally be in sit or down position the entire time, but due to different types some might even stay in standing position but you should encourage them to sit;
    • While on the walk never talk to your dog else than commands or give any affection when the dog listens to you. Keep that for once you reach home.

All of the above instructions are tried and tested with real dog owners under professional supervision. We would request each reader to begin trying these exercises at places where there is less traffic. At "C.S" we are committed to bring balance into our four legged friends lives, which will help you experience the most wonderful and beneficial relationship of all.

Right Trainer for your Dog.

Training a pet dog is a must, because in today’s busy and unforgiving world one is always surrounded by people who would not let the pet owner or the pet live in peace.

Training a dog should be a part of one’s daily routine, it help keeps oneself challenged to achieve the goal by experimenting with different ways & keeps their dog psychologically challenged which is the most tiring & healthy exercise of all. To achieve your goal with the dog, it will be great to have a knowledgeable trainer who guides you through the exercise. And to find one such trainer is the most important decision that you have to make, for the baby you see in your dog.

A trainer should have the following qualities before you take his on board;

• The trainer should be knowledgeable about the breed of your dog & should educate you with the traits of the respective breed;
• The trainer should be calm, not hurried at all & should always try to instill that quality in you;
• The trainer should be educated to use different methods depending upon your dogs instincts because each dog can be very different;
• The trainer should be ready to give you a free counseling to understand your desired goals & ability of the dog before being hired (try spend an hour with the trainer & you will have your answer);
• The trainer has to help you to help the dog for best results, they should have the ability to bring everyone on the same page;
• The trainer should insist on a family member to accompany them on the sessions (right from the 1st session) & remember he will be training you as well as your dog. Notice, if the trainer is enjoying working with the dog & if your dog is enjoying the trainer;
• Always insist on using a normal collar during training sessions (unless the training is for special needs), a trainer will be happy to work the dog with any collar if they understand the dog;
• If the trainer does group training, always visit one such training session & notice if each student is getting individual & group help;
• Boarding & training is only required for special needs of an owner from the dog, like - therapy dog, guard dog, service dog etc. The trainer should be educated enough to suggest to you if your dog has the instincts to achieve the desired goal. Feel free to ask & attend a session of an ongoing training program, also check the boarding area to be used for your dog;
• The trainer must come from a recommendation of your vet, family or friend (a pet owner) or a owner of a well behaved dog you see on the walk, never hesitate to ask about their trainer. A trainer should be ready to give you 3different references with who you can check the results before hiring;
• Never hesitate to ask questions from the trainer, it might not be relevant questions, but remember when a child starts to learn about new things, they are always very inquisitive.

No trainer will ever guarantee that the dog will behave at their best for the rest of their lives, but what they should assure you of is; if you are Consistent with the methods & be the Leader that the dog seeks out of you, nothing will stop your dog from pleasing you every single time. Also, by having you during the sessions there will be a major gap filled... the current owners are trying to fill right now, which is… “the dog works very well around the trainer, but not around us”. Remember, the dogs have to live their life with you, so it is you who need to understand & work with his instincts with the help of an expert, who is a trainer.

Lastly, a basic training program should start at 3months for the puppy & take maximum 2months on the outside. A special training program which should start for the puppy at the age of 2months & can go on for up to 6months puppy age for the best results. For special training a right pup has to be picked up from the litter to suit desired needs, without knowing the instincts of the puppy which will only show in the litter at that age. One might not find success very easily & be ripped further of the hard earned money.

We at "C. S" are dedicated to make the companionship between the human & his animal to be perfect, but we do come across many cases where the human has been taken on a ride by another human and the one suffering in the process is the animal, which is & will always be a humans best friend.

Neutering or Spaying = No aggression in dogs… FALSE!

“One can be devoted to a woman, but can't be stopped from ogling at others. That is an instinct which can't die whatever procedures one performs on the external body”. - Manoor Sachdev

Aggression in a dog is an Instinct; nothing can take it away or calm it down, unless in the human world the pet owner has the will to do it. In almost 99.99% cases that “C. S” has worked on be it Pedigree or Stray, the pet owners have either Neutered or Spayed their dogs or are willing to at suggestions of people who themselves say “We can’t guarantee, but it might help”.

We would appreciate & understand if anyone had said… do the procedure for the greater good which is to control the over population of dogs.

Yes, neutering or spaying does take away excitement, aggression & calms the dogs down but only when the female dogs are on heat. It prevents any male dog fights when they smell a female dog and are in a pack. Spaying helps the female dogs by not getting on heat to begin with or get excited when she meets an interesting male dog. Studies have suggested that spaying or neutering may increase possessive aggression towards human companion but is inconclusive, I mention this because we have come across cases that said that the dog started biting the owner after the procedure.

We would always suggest anyone to spay or neuter a dog, but it should only be for the greater good of not over crowding the streets or have the puppies in an unstable home. There is no easy way to achieve a calm & well balanced dog. The only way to achieve it is that the pet owner understands their animals instinct, who is a dog & not only the cute dog who is a baby. Treating your dog as a baby is a good therapy for humans & the dog will agree with your demand, but in return the dog will always appreciate if you can understand their instincts & guide them in the right direction being a calm & assertive leader.

If your dog is not neutered or spayed we suggest you take the following precautions;

• Always walk your male dog in the open world with the leash on;
• Always check if any female is on heat when going to a off-leash dog parks (we anyways don't have many, but we tend to off-leash them in human parks where there could be female strays on heat)
• If you have a male & a female dog at home, try & keep them separate or if you can - ask your friends to help you by keeping your male dogs for that period;
• Train your dog to have him under control when around other dogs, which will keep them from getting into fights in general & on command when a female dog on heat is in the area;
• A dog can smell a female dog on heat from a distance of approximately 6kms, so never let your dog sneak out of the open door, because you never know where he might end up;

From our personal experience spaying or neutering a dog can lead to rejection from a regular pack of other dogs your dog ones enjoyed playing with. It is because of a simple reason that dogs use their smelling sense before sight or sound & the neutered or spayed dog looses his unique smell.

Another way to avoid having an aggressive pet at home will be - Never to buy a dog off the shelf because they will have multiple behavioral issues.

To begin with, various behavioral  issues in "puppies off the shelf" arise because -

• The puppy has not spent enough time with the mother & will not have the basic etiquette's to behave in a human world which comes from the mother & the litter which becomes a pack;
• A puppy should spend minimum 55days with the mother & the litter, also should be socialized with strange humans from 45th day to 50days;
• You will never know the history of off the shelf puppies, of how they were breed & if they are a product of puppy mills or back door breeding.

Canine Solutions is dedicated to bring balance in the human & his pets lives. We wish to see you & your pet understand each other to have best companion in life.

Harness for your dog...

“A smart consumer can change the world and start an end to competition... which will change what all, start thinking…” - Manoor Sachdev

There are many and different products available in the market to please every consumer and needs shoved on him. There are many things we pick up we don’t need and there are many things lying which we ignore, knowing they are the most essentials in our lives. A human can talk and show their discontent in the product the other human has picked up, but a dog can’t talk and tell you what he wants or what is discomforting for him.

Harness is one such product; amazingly I see a lot of dog owners very excited to buy it or have already bought one and using it on their pet. I ask each dog owner the reason they use a harness on their dogs and pat come the answer, someone suggested it. Hmmm… what can I suggest??? …. Thinking… meanwhile let’s look at the different kind and real work of harness…

Harness should be used on working dogs only. By working dogs I mean, Assistance Dogs - dogs who are used to gently help mentally or physically disabled humans in their daily routine. Pulling Dogs - dogs that are used to pull cargo, people, work in high terrain areas where vehicles are not available. Police Dogs - dogs that are specially trained to perform variety of tasks for the handler. Harnesses are also used for fighting dogs which helps intensify a dogs rage when in the ring. A working dogs job is to lead its human in direction to achieve his/her goal, thus the harness came into existence. A harness does not help controlling the dogs; instinctively and psychologically a harness only tells them to pull.

In most cases I have come across humans with small dogs are suggested harnesses… how clever! Exploit the right market (I am still thinking what to suggest… Hmmm?). Has anyone ever thought why harnesses are mostly suggested to small dogs, the only reason behind it is the lack of leadership and control of the consumer on his/her dogs. Indirectly the one suggesting you is insulting you for being that kind of a dog owner… according to me, while he or the consumer doesn’t even know that. Because he only knows what the one who sold him said about the harness to sell further “that this thing controls small dogs better, your sales and customers will boom if you suggest this to the small dog owners”. Ha… what a shame!

A small dog owner is suggested the harness because as soon as the small dogs make you uncomfortable in any situation like when on a walk or in the house, you can pick him up and take them away from the situation as a correction due to their light weight. But do you know what you are doing to your dogs psychologically depending upon their individual instincts. You are taking away control from the dog without facing or correcting the situation, doesn’t matter if it is your dogs bad or someone or something else’s bad; You are taking his pride away, by lifting him of the floor; You are pushing his confidence to the lowest; You are pushing him towards depression in his life and much more. And then, human complaints later that my dog is dull and doesn’t react to anything positive or negative, doesn’t allow us to lift him to cuddle him or pet him… which then leads to many inhuman decisions & gives birth to another consumer by digging a deep hole in the pockets.

The dogs don’t care about how much money or time you are spending on them??? What they care about is… if you are a good leader; if you can show them a right path to follow in the human world, if you understand the animal in him and if you are in control of any given situation. A dog is always ready to please you by understanding the human in you & only expects that in return, but consumerism does not allow us to think or take out time to understand & exercise the human in us. It is sad… weather it is true or not I hope to hear from you…

Lastly, I still can’t think of that one thing I would like to suggest for you to get, because… I don’t feel intelligent enough to suggest another human who has equal mind, body and energy like me about what and what not he/she should buy. I can only help humans understand their four legged friends hence I am at your service under “Canine Solutions” banner.

Non Dog Lovers & Aggressive Stray Dogs - How to deal with them...

A Child is conditioned to become a non dog lover and an aggressive stray dog is the result of that child’s conditioning. Manoor Sachdev - Canine Solutions

Non dog lovers, as you might have already got the gist from the above quote, but let me elaborate further. No human is born to hate or dislike anything for that matter of fact. It is the conditioning from the very first day the mother realizes of her conception. Well this is a completely different topic... will talk about it when it is the right time, right now lets concentrate on the current topic.

Non Dog Lovers and how to deal with them - Non dog lovers have many types according to a lot of people, but I know of three types A. ones who are petrified of dogs, so they dislike them and B. are the ones are who mostly don't like anything in life and they use dogs or anything that they can overpower to vent out their frustrations (this is the type which includes all different types people describe individually) & C. are the ones who like to flaunt their so called authority.

Type A's are very easy to handle, give them their space and don't try to push them to like a dog let them warm up to it. In the process don’t restrict your dogs to a room or anywhere but let them be with the family all the time & for that you need to have complete control over the dog, you need to define rules, boundaries and understand in the dog to differentiate between people. Do to not allow your dog to jump, push, lick, bark or be in the face of these type of people, which will help them to warm up to a presence of a dog in the same room as them and in time to have a dog in their lives by getting inspired from your well behaved and a understanding dog. I have converted such people and this process works miracles!!!

Type B’s are the ones no one should ever entertain on the streets or at ones homes. They need to face the same situation as they put a dog through; this is how you do it,

• If you see these types of people on the streets you take control of the situation first by stopping them from hurting the dog. Do that by being calm and authoritative for example: If you see someone troubling / hurting the dogs - In this situation you need to be calm but with authority. Just say a loud HEY! Not with anger but with authority, this will attract everyones attention towards you including the dog. Once achieved that and when the dog is looking at you just call him by patting on your thigh excitedly (don't bend or kneel), as soon as the dog moves towards you, start walking away from him but continue the patting and calling, this will tell the dog to follow you. Once the dog has followed you let him go, don't take him too far out of his territory just get him out of the situation. This type of human will try to pass remarks or argue with you, just let him talk and pretend you don't understand a word and keep walking like they are the dogs barking and you a human can't understand their language, which will give them a clear message and in time after repetitions will stop them from engaging with the dogs completely. (Some of these types are adamant, for them try the above procedure a couple of times if it doesn’t work just try reaching the authorities, which is in most cases is a useless exercise but you can always try your luck.)

•  At homes if these type of humans are pushy about having your dog leashed or shut in a room, please tell them that your dogs are well behaved and they don’t need to give you directions of how to keep your dog, but for this again you need to have complete control over your dog as mentioned above. Otherwise you are creating more friction between the dogs and these type of human beings. This also does not solve the purpose of a dog being in your life. One needs to understand that dogs are the best way one can improve their social lives and not purge it. If you ignite this friction further you are the one who will suffer at the hands of the society and there will be one less home who will ever agree to give shelter to a dog. Only your well behaved dog and you as a social person will create lot more homes for our four legged friends.

•  These are the types who like to show off and just like to trouble a not so knowledgeable dog lover, while they themselves have zilch knowledge but take advantage of the authority they have been “GIVEN”. So, to tackle these types a dog lover should always be knowledgeable about the dogs, the laws and the do’s & do not in the public areas. If the dog lover just does not remain a dog lover and becomes a knowledgeable dog lover these types will hide in their shells.

A dog lover should never exhibit being angry, frustrated, irritated, fighting or crying it weakens one and makes the situation worst and also for the four legged friends. I know one is getting angry on another human being who is trying to hurt the dog, trying to lecture you on how to handle your dog or trying to govern you just because they have some kind of authority. But let me make it clear that if you do all the opposite of the above and are knowledgeable dog lover you will be in better situation to help the dog and yourself, also you will make other humans dog friendly and prospective dog lovers.

Aggressive Stray Dogs and how to deal with them – “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder” (here beauty refers to a dog’s behavior). So when a human who is not knowledgeable about dogs looks at a stray, judges the expression only to be aggressive and reacts uncertainly, feared or with a stone he/she is confusing the animal and pushing the dog to defend itself by becoming aggressive(because their first instinct is survival). A dog might bark with pauses looking at a person and then would continue while approaching, which is only a warning that I am not sure about your presence and I want to be sure by smelling you, but the reaction of a insecure human converts that unsure dog into protecting its territory and defending himself from any harm weather you mean it or not by barking continuously and challenging you by jumping towards you but not reaching you. This might turn into a bite or a long run and chase episode. So the question is how to deal with the a stray dog,

• If one does not like dogs, he/she should never look at the dog and should carry on with their business, never try to talk to the dog to get out of a situation and never judge the dog, because the dog will instantly grab onto ones nervous energy;
• If caught in a situation of a barking and charging dog, never present yourself as a prey by running or by just giving into the dog’s growl, bark or charging. Always present yourself calm, confident and stand your ground looking away but always have the dog in sight from the corner of your eye, if the dog is charging just pretend to step towards him assertively and move back once he steps back (which the dog will do certainly). Once the dog calms down or looks away try walking away very calmly and don’t show your back to the dog completely, this tells the dog that I am giving you your space but I am alert about your movement.
• Never exhibit excited body language or use your own loud voice, that only excites the dog further and seems threatening to him;
• Nerve crowd the dog with other humans because the dog will try to escape and in the process could bite someone.

In simple words let the dogs be and give them their space if you can’t be friendly with them. Don’t try to shoo them away from where they are because they are not the ones encroaching onto human territory, it is the other way around. Our only aim at Canine Solutions is to remove strays from the streets across India & give them a loving home. In return we assure every human being, be it dog lovers or otherwise that you will receive unconditional love, loyalty & a lot of good health. We invite everyone to be a part of our program to learn more about dogs and only the benefits a dog can provide you unconditionally.

At Canine Solutions we do not differentiate between the pure breed or the strays dogs. We are open to provide our services to all Pet Owners, Animal NGO’s, Shelters, Volunteers, Co-operative Housing Societies to rehabilitate the toughest dog behaviors & give them a chance to find a loving home.

Dog Trainer or Dog Behaviorist - I Say Both!

“A dog, which is an animal first becomes a part of human family and adjusts according to the human, but can never become a human” – Manoor Sachdev.

Dog behaviorist is a new concept in India, people are not aware of the importance or services a dog behaviorist provides. In this small write up I will try and explain the role of a dog behaviorist and the services we provide at Canine Solutions.

A young child goes to school to learn the theory of what is in store for him/her in life, but it is the Mother first and then the rest of the family who builds the mind of the child to accept what will be taught in the outside world. Similarly, a dog needs to go to a trainer, but first it is the leader of the pack (family) who needs to gain confidence of this animal, which is a dog. Not every dog owner is aware of this fact or if he is aware but is not able to achieve the leadership and that is where a dog behaviorist comes in the picture.

A dog behaviorist teaches the dog owners the fundamentals of a pack mentality and helps the whole family to achieve leadership and gain confidence in their dogs. A dog behaviorist will reassure a pet owners belief that dogs loves to please their masters and not just that, they live to please their masters only if the master knows how to demand for a perfect behavior. Once the family has attained the role of leadership and gained the confidence in a dog, the dog is ready to go to the trainer – Which will stop the common discontent of the pet owners that dog behaves best with presence of a Trainer but not with the family. A dog behaviorist does not only want to get to the goal behavior like - sit, stay, heel , down, fetch etc., but to educate the family to prevent any unwanted, uncivilized behaviors in the future. The dog behaviorist also wants to know exactly how the unwanted behavior in question started and behaviorists will intervene in problem situations. Whether it is an aggression problem, inappropriate chewing, dominance, timid, territorial etc. the behaviorists job is to answer the most difficult question "why" and then help the family undo the problem.

Corruption, but are we really fighting it Shri Anna Hazare???

"A law will rein corruption & make no mistake the corrupt will find their way around the law. When there are ways around Murder, Rape, Child Prostitution, Child Labor, Honor Killing, Dowry etc. which are a outcome of evil intentions, against Corruption which is just the outcome of a human desire/ greed to have more."

So, are we fighting the real cause of corruption? Shri Anna Hazare has inspired the citizens of this country & given them a stage to stand upon, but is it the stage constructed upon strong pillars... the answer is "NO". A false hope is dangerous than a desire. It is easy to cut the tree but the roots are very hard to uproot & that is what is the real problem when anyone is fighting for a cause. The roots are left deeply embedded due to which the tree manages to grow back, maybe in time but it does & never dies.

To fight corruption the fist thing one needs to fight or give away is, his / her desires. Desire to eat a lavish meal, to have a home, to have a scooter / car / expensive car, to have gold / silver / diamonds, to have a bank balance, to have their children study in international / convent schools etc. are we prepared to do that or has Mr. Hazare put this thought in front of his supporters/ followers? Then i would like to see how many supporters remain with his.

The common man to achieve his / her desire does not pardon his/ her Gods while praying & offers bribe, then how does one say only the politician are corrupt??? To get ahead in a "Q" of a temple of ones belief one pays a bribe to the respective authorities  which is given a good name "Fees", then how does one say only the politicians are corrupt??? To feed an infant/ child a mother offers bribe & gives birth to corruption, then how does one say only the politicians are corrupt??? There are many such example & don't tell me all such example are initiated because of corrupt politicians. Any institution, any entrepreneur, any corporate, any tea stall, any panwala etc. are running today on the basis of corruption, will everyone shut shop & start over without a hint of corruption???

Second, the most corrupt system running freely today is the "Banking System" i ask who is up to abolish that?  I would go fasting unto death will anyone support me??? Now, one will ask how is Banking System the most corrupt??? The simple answer to begin with is the term "BANK". Bank for ones own benefit while others die for a piece of bread & according to the rules of humanity that is the most corrupt system.

All that i am trying to put forth here is that there is no bad cause, but unless one is prepared to fight each & every aspect of it, it is meaning less. It will give one a high for sometime but when that high will evaporate the results will be further devastating.

I wish, i desire i had a voice that reached as many as possible but until then i would try reach & exchange thoughts with you.

I care... let's say together "WE CARE"
