  • 13 bags of dogfood for Meiji’s dogs

    This morning, Meiji collected another 13 bags of dogfood, from Avant Pet in Selayang. This is our arrangement for Meiji now as Selayang is a much nearer collection point for Meiji (from Raub).

  • Free roaming or confined?

    Mrs Wong shared this: http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/leisure/2012/07/23/should-she-stay-or-should-she-go/ The article talks about whether cats should be allowed to roam freely as Nature has intended them to, or they should be confined for their own safety.
