  • Meatloaf-DuckHen Pose!

    Sheryl Hoh shared these: Now that I can see it clearly (paws tucked in), this is the pose my children call “Pole Paws” because Pole was the first to do it. In fact, out of my six, it’s the Cow family who does it, ie. Cow, Bunny, Pole and Cleo!

  • A last word on the “Photos, photos everywhere”

    Tan Lay Khim has already apologised for doing what she did, and I believe it was done without any malicious intentions. In fact, she wrote saying if Cow’s photo had won any prize, she had intended to donate it to our fund. I appreciate her intentions, but wished she had asked first and credited the…

  • The Blueys go for a car trip again….to the vets!

    The Blueys’ potential adopter is coming all the way from Seremban tomorrow to see them. Of course, as always, I have mixed feelings about letting them go. But I cannot adopt them for a few reasons. Six is about all that we (the human family) can handle. My adult cats, especially Cow and Bunny, has…

  • Bernice’s animals spayed-neutered

    Bernice Chee wrote to me sometime ago about our help in sponsoring spay-neuter of the stray animals in her neighbourhood.  This is Mummikins, a stray mum-dog with 5 puppies.  She’s been spayed now and we are subsidising the cost. Mummikins’ five puppies have all been adopted! And Bernice brought three male cats to our panel…

  • Photos, Photos, Photos…everywhere

    During the Pet Boarding fiasco, Maslinda informed me that photos were just being uplifted from my blog and published in mainstream newspapers.  I did not receive any letter or phonecall or whatever, asking permission if the photos could be used. Some of the photos were taken by Maslinda and I credit her in my blog,…

  • True heroes of 9/11

    September will always be a month we remember the dreadful 9/11 incident where the world witnessed a terrifying event, all because of our own folly of NOT being able to understand that are are one and the same.  So, while humans suffered tremendous pain and loss in this tragedy, some of our furry friends helped…

  • Bluey stories

    I have been running around so much I haven’t had time to update on the Blueys.In a nutshell, they are both fine and dandy.  Both have been going after Uncle Bobby’s food.  Hmmm….that kibble looks and smells different from ours…  They both just love Uncle Bobby.  Bunny has made friends with them.  They go after…

  • Ginger, another miracle case

    This was Ginger on 20th August… Our vet took a swab and suspected it was Cryptococcosis. The treatment would be Itraconazole, so since he did not have any, I redirected Peggy Tiong (Ginger’s rescuer) to our other panel vet, who then, diagnosed it as either mastcell cancer or an allergy.Either one, the treatment would be…

  • Indy’s urine test

    While I was at the vet’s to settle our bills, I spoke to the vet about Indy’s case and was advised to do a repeat blood test.If you remember, more than a month ago (10th August), Indy’s blood test showed a slight elevation in the immuno-globulins but his kidney results were normal. His urine showed…

  • What a long, long day

    This morning started off with a kitten-fosterer texting me for help. She has no prior experience in looking after kittens but had offered herself as a fosterer for a family of kittens, which is admirable. However, she was really worried because one kitten was having loose stools and another “wasn’t moving”. I told her to quickly…
