Teacup Monstrosity

Aren't they cute as buttons? It's coz they really are just a little bigger than average buttons, probably. In case you're wondering, these are actual dogs mutated from toy breeds to create another subset of 'breeds' small enough to fit in your pockets or handbags. The reason to create these genetically mutated pitiful creatures that actually doesn't even qualify as 'breeds' by kennel clubs is still in the haze. But underneath all those foofiness, the means to create these pitiful victims of human greed is terrifying.

Scroll and tell me from the bottom of your heart that these 'dogs' deserve to be what they are.

This modified chihuahua's eyes are too big for it's skull that it's bulging.

Hope it doesn't pop out fo' realz.

I got the following passage from a PSA post circulating from tumblr. This information was disclosed by a tumblr user so credits go to her.

Do you want a tiny or healthy dog?

You might all have heard about teacups and thought, well if this isn’t the cutest thing! 

… Well, no, what goes on behind the curtains most certainly is not cute. What goes on inside of their tiny bodies is not cute. These dogs sure do have a dark story.

You see, there is no such thing as a “reputable teacup breeder”. Why you might ask, well, teacup is not a recognised size of dog or a breed of its own. You might go on a teacup breeders website and see “FCI teacup puppies for sale!” … it’s a lie. FCI, or any other kennel clubs, do most certainly not promote or register this size of dog. This isn’t even a breed. Got my point now?

Well, now let’s move to the breeding of them. Their problem starts before they are born. Before a litter is planned, the breeder finds two, cute undersized dogs (preferably under four pounds). Too often, the parents are closely related. That only increases the risk of series of genetic issues. Then, the mating begins…

Most females are bred on the ninth to fifteen day of their heat cycles. Eggs can be fertilized for up to 72 hours any of these breeding. Because of that… you puppies can be conceived a week after the first ones. When the puppies that were first conceived are fully matured and ready to be born, the younger ones  obviously come too, week premature (that’s a lot for a dog). Often the older puppies are put down or worse, killed, so the premature ones are the only one who get to live. 

But it’s not even guaranteed if the puppies or female will live… The female’s body is so small it causes many complications, especially if the female is carrying more than two puppies. Often the puppies survives… but the mother doesn’t. 

Now, the puppies are born. There, their tough life begins. 

Many teacup puppies are starved so they don’t grow. That does explain how tiny and fragile they look. Breeders might also use other ways to stop the growing, in example, by using no fat, protein, rices… only food with no nutrition. Puppies are also often sold at three or four weeks, but the breeders claim their older. That can cause a lot of emotional problems.

Now, move on to the health problems.

The most common one is hypoglycemla, which means they have too low blood sugar level. It can cause several seizures and death very quickly. Because of this problems, teacups need to be fed few times a day. This can also cause digestive problems. 

Then. the other really common problem, hydrocephalus. That means they have water on their brain. It causes too much pressure on the brain. Symptoms are painful, but they include; Vomiting, seizures, intense headache, and trouble walking. It also causes mental disability and tunnel vision… and it may cause death. 

Other common health problems are live shunts, serious heart problems and respiratory problems. 

Teacups cannot regulate their body temperament, so they get easily cold and teacups dying due to cold is not unheard of.

Then of course, their tiny body is very fragile. Their bone structure is very poorly built.

They do get hurt easily, and if you accidentally step on your teacup… it might get severely hurt, or even worse. They can break bones if the jump off the couch, or if they try to jump on the couch. If you have kids, they might want to pick them up and who knows how that will end. Larger dogs can also play rough and harm them. Everything can hurt them and they need to be monitored. 

Then of course, it’s a fraud. There is no such thing as a registered teacup, or AKC teacup or whatever. In fact, there are no such thing as a teacup- they’re not a breed on their own, and people are fighting against them.

Cuteness can kill too easily.

We humans have broken yet another dimension of lowliness and greed.

Smelly - No - More Deodorant Stinks.

Literally. Find out why.

I promised to make a review about their much-hyped deodorant after their Dutox-Tea review that I had received as a free sample from buying this deodorant. The Dutox Tea is a masterpiece by itself so have a look at it.

This deodorant claims to be used by ancient Asians as an effective body odour combatant. It's mineral properties is said to reduce the risk of breast cancer in women. I see.

Let's make a quick check list.

Reduce body odour?
For some time, yes.
Long lasting?
Are you fucking kidding me. This shit doesn't qualify to be a deodorant.
How about the smell?
I am literally too traumatized to write this as it makes me think back an unpleasant olfactory memory. You see, this deo doesn't have any fragrance so what it does? As you use it, it takes the smell of  YOUR ARMPIT. 
Your sweaty, stale, bacteria-filled armpit. I am fucking done with this deo, you hear me? DONE.
How do you use it?
You have to wet this shit under water, moisten it and rub on your armpit. You have to wet the deo mineral block several times to really slather them on. So not only it is time consuming but impractical. Most people have deos on their vanity table not the bathroom counter. It takes a no brainer that you could always ways the mineral slab with soap to get rid of the armpit-y smell. But seriously, people usually want their morning routine as quickly as possible. 

Overall, this piece of shit is merely a well-marketed garbage that does not serve it purpose. It's pretty packaging only looks good on your vanity table as a decoration. I am keeping this but will only use it perhaps on travel or something. It's small and light enough for that.

DON'T BUY THIS OR ANY PRODUCT FROM TOTAL IMAGE IT'S COMPLETE GARBAGE.
