  • Mac’s “grandparents” pay last respects

    My parents live in Bukit Rimau and we drove them over since they wanted to pay their last respects to Mac before his cremation.  In the last 13 years, whenever we went on overseas holidays, we would send Mac and Bobby (that’s before the cats came) back to Ipoh to my parents’ place for babysitting. …

  • There is work to be done, and more animals to be helped

    While I am here, waiting for time to bring Mac to the crematorium, I received another SOS.  This is from Yasmin, whose friend, Lyn, just rescued two little kittens off the street.  I called Abang Wan, our newly-discovered animal angel, and he took up the case immediately and contacted Yasmin. Yasmin is located in Section 17,…

  • Mac passes away

    Mac passed away peacefully early this morning after fighting on for about 2 weeks.  He fought till the very end, and even had a good meal last night.  He finally finished the can of AD he had been eating since he became sick.  In the past few days, he regained his energy and could bark. …

  • About debarking dogs (part 2)

    This is a sharing from reader, Karen: My dog was debarked by his breeder owner at 5 months. At 9 months, the surgeon had problems intubating him for his neutering procedure because of scar tissue. He was sent back to the original surgeon to fix the debarking. The breeder gave up on him and I…

  • Updates on Patch

    Mr Wan just text me that Patch, the one-eyed dog that he rescued today, has been taken by a Ms Sue Ching and her friends who will be sending Patch to the vet’s for a check-up tomorrow. Three cheers for the compassion of Mr Wan!  We certainly need more people like him! 

  • After the first acupuncture session

    This is what I’ve noticed about Tiger after the first acupuncture session yesterday. A very much better appetite! Sleeps much better and more relaxed. As I’ve said earlier, he also seems more confident than before and is more willing to come home when I go looking for him. I spoke to the vet this afternoon,…

  • Female dog, going back to PJ Old Town

    This is the female dog, brought in by Sis Lan from PJ Old Town, under our CNRM programme, to be spayed at our panel vet.  I visited the dog today and she is fine.  Just not eating.  Perhaps she is still scared and feeling insecure.  You can see the shaven patch on her side in…

  • And how is Tiger doing?

    I spent the morning hunting around for as many types of better quality canned food as I could, for Tiger.  Dr Susanna had said that I should let Tiger eat what he likes, as long as it is good food.  So I came back today, armed with no less than 8 types of different canned…

  • Such GOOD musketeers

    The musketeers are still with me right now as Cathy is delayed at her class.  So far, they have been such GOOD kittens.  At feeding time, they would obediently allow themselves to be fed, then they would pee (but still no poo), and then they would play a bit, and happily tuck in to sleep…

  • Mr Wan – what an angel!

    I posted this: http://animalcare.my/2009/11/patch-one-eyed-dog-looking-for-loving.html this morning when Mr Wan appealed for help.  At that time, he said he was still trying to get some boys to help him catch Patch, the one-eyed dog, so that Patch can be sent for a medical check-up. An hour ago, I called Mr Wan, and he said Patch has already…
