Pipi on doggy-wheelchair
I’ve heard of these things, but have not seen one “live” before. This is Pipi. His owner, a Mr Lim, brought him to see the vet for a check-up. Pipi was paralysed “waist-down” due to a fight where a bigger dog bit into one of his nerves (I dont know if I got that technically…

Mac in hospital
Mac was doing much better this morning after the few hours’ drip. His blood tests results show an elevated urea level and slightly high readings for the liver. But his creatinine was normal, so that’s a relief (it’s not the kidneys). This evening, when I picked him up after work, he looked a little down…

Male cate rescued, treated and neutered
Yesterday, Mary Yap called me. Using Terry’s cat-trap, she managed to trap this male cat who had been injured (suspected being scalded by hot water…poor, poor thing). It seems he was very fierce too. Who wouldn’t be, if you’ve been abused and now, trapped. So Mary sent the cat to our panel vet for treatment…

One more cat spayed
This is a stray cat brought in by Jean who lives in PJ, a few days ago. The cat has been spayed at our panel vet, and rescuer, Jean, paid for the surgery, too. We are very grateful that Jean has offered to pay for the procedure. Then we can utilise our funds to help…

Naughty Suki!
This morning, when I let Suki out of her cage, she made a bee-line for the window and ran out under the gate. Luckily it was 5am and there was no vehicle on the road. But she also had the good sense to explore just outside the gate and not go onto the road. Then, to avoid…

Terry is up for adoption (again) – adopted!
Things did not quite work out in Daniel’s homefront. It seems Poodle Gigi (the girl) is very jealous of Terry and is now on a hunger strike. So Daniel feels he can’t adopt Terry at the expense of Gigi’s unhappiness. Terry is up for adoption again. If you are interested in adopting him, please contact…

Mac looks a bit better
When I reached the clinic, I heard the familiar non-stop barking, typical Mac-style. Dr Koh said to me, “Look, he’s barking already” Now, that’s good. This morning, Mac could not even move a limb. Mac was in a metal cage, and he was probably complaining because it was cold. He is put on drips, and…

My totally crazy day!
I had a crazy day today. I came home between classes to “trap” Tiger and Cleo in the house so that I could call the vet in for a housecall. It was SO hard just to get the two into the house. Tiger was at the neighbour’s (his second home). So I went over and…

Chelsea, Chelsea!! (Day 4)
I visited Chelsea and her pups today. Yi Lin says they are showing good improvement. Yi Lin opened the cage door, and out trooped the entire team…very happily, too. I can’t tell them apart! Hmm…you like my shoe? And Cesc (the brown one) goes into his favourite spot They seem to like footwear! Team manager-mum,…

You know who your friends are when…
Hi everyone. Here are some photos taken just minutes ago to assure all my concerned friends that Cleo is safe and sound. I got up at 5am this morning and she wasn’t around. But that’s her habit, being female, she likes to roam, especially at night. Cleo came back just now, at 6.30am and had her…

Updates on Terry (the dog)
Terry is the terrier that was rescued, fostered and adopted all within the span of 4-5 hours yesterday. Daniel Azlan came over to my house last night to take Terry home and this morning, he text me to say Terry is alright. He can even obey commands like “sit” etc. Loves to play, too. However, Daniel…

Football news (Day 3)
Today, I went over to the vet’s to get the deworming medicines for Chelsea and her puppies. Then, I brought them over to Yi Lin’s house. Chelsea is improving, ie. she looks more cheerful and still has that ravenous appetite. That’s really good, but we will still monitor her closely for the next few days.…

Mr Siva’s dogs (surgery)
This is a report from Teresa Chian, our OKR representative. We just sponsored the surgeries of two dogs who are being looked after by a Mr Siva. In fact, I saw one surgery in progress today. Nasty maggots…. Siva is a fellow animal lover who lives in Tmn Kanagapuram, Old Klang Rd. He makes a pact…

And through it all….
While Cleo was lost this evening, the one keeping vigil for Cleo was none other than good old Indy Jones. When I came home this evening twice, without Cleo, Indy was sitting on the pillar of my house, watching out for Cleo. I knew why he was there. I just knew. He looked at me…
