my recent radio silence March 21 2009 3 comments

sorry for the neglect being suffered by the blog. my dog (yes i know. dogs are haraam. so is living in china, i’m pretty sure) has been diagnosed with canine distemper and has been given a 1% chance of survival. it’s been three weeks so far of little sleep and much hand wringing ad brow furrowing.

i’m also in the process of getting my grad school crapplication finished up which means further trips out of town in addition to those already taken to see the vet.

i’ll get back on track shortly, god willing.

dogs are haraam？
raising dog is forbidden in islam?

dogs like pigs are considered unclean. it’s said that an angel won’t enter a house with a dog in it. i’m pretty sure they’re keeping their distance from me anyway these days so i’m less worried.

some people will keep dogs as watch dogs or something with a purpose, but not as a cuddly little pet that can wear clothes and eat designer foods. but since i’ve grown up with dogs and find them rather enjoyable, it’s one of the many things keeping me from winning ‘muslim of the year’.

Hahahaha

I love dogs too, but I don’t think it’s correct to wear them on, dogs may feel uncomfortable to be dressed.
