  • A shiny beige-coloured butterfly

    Dear Friends, I think this is the most difficult pet-death I’ve ever had to deal with. Perhaps it is the manner in which Bosco passed on, the cause of death or that I went through a roller-coaster of frantically searching for ways to help him. From one vet to another, hoping and hoping. One day…

  • Bosco fought the good fight and is now at Rainbow Bridge

    Dear Friends, My brave little Bosco passed away at about 6.45pm this evening. He fought the good fight and I am extremely proud of him. I wish to thank all of you for cheering him on throughout these past few days, for standing by us and giving us all your support and kind wishes. In…

  • The morning of Day 4 and hopefully, Miracle No.2

    I got up at 4.27am today. Unlike yesterday, I did not wake up with a bad feeling. I hope that is good. My brood was waiting for me and never mind what time it is, when I come downstairs, it’s Breakfast Time to them and they cannot wait! At such times, knowing that those under…

  • The vet called…at 11.32pm

    As I was hanging out my chloroxed laundry of cushion covers and today’s clothes, my phone rang. It was from the vet and it was 11.32pm. The heart stopped. I’m sure of it. It really stopped. My hands are trembling as I write this…. But hey……..Bosco is fine!!!!! Yes, he (the senior vet) said Bosco…

  • Miracle No.1: Bosco made it through the night, and it may not be the little toad’s fault…

    My apologies to everyone for this belated post. I know many of you are rooting for Bosco and I owe you all an earlier post, but I just got home, and it’s been an exceptionally long day. In a nutshell, Bosco is hanging on, is able to sit up and meow, and the little toad…

  • Could this be the culprit?

    Yesterday after coming home, I did suspect that the source of the poison could be from the toads in the garden. I have seen these toads come out after dark and a day before Bosco fell ill, I remember seeing a small one hopping in the porch. At that time, it did not strike me…

  • Before the break of dawn…

    I got up at 4am this morning with very mixed feelings. I was worried and anxious…did the miracle happen last night, is Bosco okay? I know I will not get any answers until the clinic opens today and though my mind tells me I should not worry because worry is a negative emotion (which generates…
