they always fight with the other and my dog also eats my cat’s poo and then my dog will kiss my face. his mouth is very smelly. My dog will win because he is bigger than my cat. When he came to my home my cat is already about 1yo so my cat always pay attention to my dog so when my dog grew up they started to fight together

I want to go another two places to travel. In January I want to go to Thailand for the new year. When I am back I can go to my hometown to celebrate the new year. I also want to go to Taiwan but I haven’t decided when yet,
