  • How to get an animal to come home

    When Pole made her first major escape and the psychic told me he felt Pole was on her way back to the old house, I was frantic and I asked for help on the blog. Vivienne, bless her kind heart, sent me this: http://www.douban.com/group/topic/13979143/ Unfortunately, it was in Chinese and I’m shamefully illiterate in the…

  • Pole doesn’t give up (another escape attempt at dusk)

    Yesterday evening, we let Pole out of the condo to stretch herself. It had been a very busy day for me, with contractors coming in to fix things. Unfortunately, the grille contractor did not come to fix the polycarbonate so Bunny’s Place is still not Pole-proofed yet. Anyway, we let her out under strict supervision.…

  • Indy’s urine test results

    This morning after work, I went straight to the clinic to get Indy’s urine test results. The urinalysis shows the presence of protein and leucocytes which suggests that Indy has an infection. One of the procedures would be to start Indy on antibiotics, but which one?  He already has a proven record of adverse reaction…

  • Panda & Poppy, two female dogs spayed (Joanne Lim’s)

    Joanne Lim recently brought two female dogs to be spayed. We have subsidised RM240 for the two procedures, which is a full sponsorship because that is the rescue rate at this particular clinic. Our maximum subsidy rate for female dogs is RM120. Poppy and Panda are stray dogs at a factory area in Klang.  Panda…

  • Pak Din has a new dwelling place (fingers crossed)

    We’ve been keeping up with Chew on how we could help Pak Din. Many thanks to everyone who has written in to offer suggestions and help. On the pipeline will be the setting up of a joint account (Chew and a friend) as a good samaritan has offered to raise funds for Pak Din’s needs.…

  • Cat-grille installed

    My new-improved cat-grilled was installed yesterday! Now, we no longer have to close the door…  I had this designed BEFORE the Pole escapades started. I know it’s not Pole-proofed, but it’s others-proofed. Also, the function of this cat-grille eventually is just to keep Cow & Bunny out of the rest of the house. The grille…

  • Dogfood for 20 abandoned dogs in North Port (Mr Low’s)

    Mr Low feeds about 20 abandoned dogs on a barren piece of land in North Port. The piece of land is so barren, there is no vegetation on it. These 20 odd dogs are suspected to have been abandoned. We have been helping Mr Low with dogfood donation since last year. Whenever we get dogfood…

  • Sunshiny news on Sunshine!

    Here’s happy news and happier photos to cheer everyone up: Hi Kah Yein, We took Sunshine to see the vet on Mon for a review and also to Dr Susanna’s for acupuncture. As with previous experience, Sunshine was all excited and rather restless in the car so we had planned that my husband take a…

  • Indy’s condition – a repeat, again

    I got back from work today and rushed Indy and Tabs to the vet’s. Indy has been sleeping for the past few days, hardly moving. The only consolation is that he still eats heartily, but only when I bring food for him. Yesterday, I brought him out to the grass and noticed he was limping…

  • Mother-cat and kitten in need of fosterer/adopter (Thong’s)

    Cathy Thong’s brother found a mother-cat with a newborn kitten yesterday. The mother-and-baby need a fosterer urgently. It would not be very difficult looking after them as the mother is feeding the baby. The fosterer/adopter would only need to buy KITTEN food for the mother (kitten food is more nutritious) so that she has enough…

  • Pole is happy in condo and other news

    This morning, when I opened the backdoor, Pole was looking quite happy in her condo. I had prepared myself for the worst, ie. she had figured out a way to open the latch and has escaped again! But no, my preparation for the worst possible scenario was unfounded…phew! She actually looked pretty happy in it.…

  • Two proud owners, Pole and Tabs

    Today, Pole is the proud owner of a new condominium.  House-warming the ground floor first. Third floor.  I’ve given Pole Tabs’ litter-box as it is smaller than the rest of my litter-boxes and it fits right in. Pole also has a brand new matching green water bowl fixed to the bars so that it won’t…
