Sigh…maybe as my husband says, to be fair, I have to feed the outside clan outside the gate. The trouble with Bosco is that…

  • News from the outside clan

    Ginger has stopped hissing at Raven.  Bosco is his usual happy-g0-lucky self. Peace on earth and goodwill to catkind?  Yes, you may, but not all of it. The outside gang doesn’t like Hill’s anymore. They like SmartHeart. Oh well, which child does not like yummy food? Compare Koko Krunch to Oatmeal…  Nothing like a good…

  • Of puppies with “inverted rear paws” and its possible causes

    I refer to our earlier post on Kelly Tan’s newly rescued puppy who was discovered to have “inverted paws” (probably born with the deformity of paws facing backwards): http://animalcare.my/2012/10/10/abandoned-puppy-born-with-paws-facing-backwards-needs-surgery-kelly-tan-juat-jongs/ I spoke with a vet this morning to seek a better understanding of such cases.

It’s a question that we all should be asking because this issue is very important—particularly for the billions of animals who are killed for our plates every year. If you…
