  • Joanie’s back home, and had a little detour too.

    I dropped in to see Joanie on my way to deliver a talk this evening, and surprise, surprise! The vet said I could take her home. She had pee-ed! Hooray!As I was running late, I had no choice but to take her along to my talk, so we had a cat at the talk. Good…

  • The second rehoming of the Ketam dogs to Bentong

    It was a beeeautiful day today. When we arrived at LLLF, we were greeted by blue skies, fresh air, nature at its finest, and the friendly smiles and greetings of Bro Sui’s helpers. These 6 dogs were much easier to get out of the van into the enclosure. However, one dog, Marco, escaped, but thanks…

  • Joanie’s back in hospital again

    Hi everyone. I came back as soon as I could from Bentong, after the rehoming of the remaining 6 Ketam dog (stories and photos later) so that I could attend to Joanie and Suki (the former “Xiao Li”). Joanie still had not pee-ed, so I took her to the hospital again. At the rate I…

  • Joanie’s sutures removed

    I just brought Joanie back from the hospital. Since she was so frustrated last night over the e-collar (she tried grooming herself but ended up licking plastic, got angry and took it out on everyone!), I discussed with the vet if her sutures could be removed today. After two more days, her e-collar can be…

  • Brownie is given one more month

    We have been working very hard to rehome Brownie. He is the one-eyed dog who resisted euthanasia at the shelter, was rescued and given a second chance. Please see my earlier posting: http://animalcare.my/2009/07/brownie-one-eyed-dog.htmlBrownie would have been on our trip to Bentong tomorrow with the Ketam dogs, but we all decided we should work harder to…

  • Maxis needs help

    This is Maxis. He is a one- year old purebred male golden retriever. His owner brought him to a shelter to be euthanised because there was something wrong with his leg. He walks with a limp. At the shelter, one of the volunteers took pity on him and decided he should be given a second…

  • Saving a starfish

    “We cannot do big things, only small things with great love” – Mother Theresa. I have been often asked, in my years of saving animals, big or small, why don’t I prioritise? Is it worth going all out to save one animal when it costs so much, especially the serious cases? Wouldn’t it be wiser…

  • Joanie’s progress

    I thought I should take a photo of Joanie and put it up for all to see. She is doing much better now. Last night, she became restless when she tried to groom herself and could only lick the plastic collar. Poor thing. It is so important for a cat (especially a female!) to groom…

  • Today’s donors

    Many thanks to today’s donor, Ms Sukania Venugopal. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Ms Sukania. I thought her name sounded very familiar – the renowned theatre performer and former newscaster. I was right. It IS her. Also, grateful thanks to our volunteer, Lilian and her friends, for their contribution. May…

  • Mary, Mary, quite contrary…

    Let me see if I can remember this poem from 40+ years ago…Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row! Just WHO are these three pretty maids in a row? That’s Ervina (on the left) and her two friends from UiTM.…

Let me reproduce it here for the benefit of everyone.Dr. Chan, Firstly, congrats on the good work on Joanie, read about your concern about Joanie running away from your house back to Old Klang Road. Dr. Chan, from my…

  • Joanie’s back home now

    Hi everyone. Joanie pee-ed! The two medicines worked. I’ve brought her home now, and I’ll have to continue giving her the medicines for 7 days. After that, we’ll take her off the medicines and see if she can do it herself. We’ll take it one day at a time for now…Hopefully, there’s no major “damage”…
