  • What do we do with human pests?

    Today was the first day of the new semester at my college and as always, there is much work to do.  I was done for the day when I went to my car, hoping to get home to do more work.But woe betide me, another car had blocked my car in such a way that…

  • Kittens adopted!

    From Su Ann Quah, another young rescuer, who first enlisted our help when some kittens were trapped inside a drain.Hi Kah Yein,Not sure if you remember me, I contacted you earlier this year aboutthis litter of kittens that were born in my garden.

  • Two more dogs on RetroMAD1

    Eileen Ng was interested to try the RetroMAD1 on her parvo puppy, Chubby.  She came to my house yesterday to get some and there was a distemper pup in her car.  The distemper pup, Bono, was twitching at the mouth.  Since distemper is also viral in nature, the RetroMAD1 can also be used on it,…

  • An “evergreen” forward (from Meredith to God, and back)

    I have received this forwarded email countless of times, yet each time, it never fails to put a smile on my face or even a tear in my eye. To know that there are such wonderful people in the world who would take the time to attend to the “little things that matter” is truly…

  • And how has Indy been?

    The day Indy went in for his blood test, we were all kept in suspense and waited with bated breath for the test results the next day. We obviously weren’t the only ones kept in suspense as Indy must have read my mind. He spent that whole day in the shrine room and only came…

  • We learn and strive on for their sake (Donnie, Jet and Jackie)

    Ever since Bruce’s unfortunate passing, I have been in contact with Weiwen. I was a trifle worried that being a first-time rescuer, she might be feeling very dejected by some of the harsher comments (though already edited before being posted). But my worries were unfounded, because Weiwen is made of stronger stuff. I applaud her for…

  • Photo updates of Brownie!

    Brownie is our parvo-survivor. Before I post his photos, we might want to analyse his case and learn a thing or two from it.Brownie was a rescued stray from North Port. He was very, very attached to his mother, Angel, and we assume he was breastfed. At the time of being rescued, Brownie was estimated to…

  • Coconut oil and sulphur – Thank you from Meiji, Doby and me!

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/08/dobys-skin-problem.htmlI wrote the above news on 3rd August. It was about Doby’s perpetual skin problem which has baffled many vets for about two years now. Nothing seemed to work.  An anonymous person posted a comment about using coconut oil and sulphur (see below in blue). I informed Meiji immediately and she concurred that someone else…

    Once in a while, I get the privilege of being a guest (and most definitely, the oldest) member of a local youth choir. This is when they have a performance coming up where I can participate in.  Rehearsals are on Fridays, so I was there this evening and…  Hello, hello….who is this? A new member…
