  • Taking Cow to the vet’s

    We noticed this red spot on Cow’s paw this morning. Knowing how prone he is to paw wounds and how badly affected he would be, we wasted no time in taking him to the vet’s for a check-up. Furthermore, when we tried to “check”, he got all defensive and he “almost killed us”! Cow, as…

  • Busa has come a long way! (a sharing by Billie & Puspa)

  • Going the extra mile towards kindness to animals

    In my public talks, I am sometimes asked about vegetarianism and whether it is a necessary practice if one professes to be an animal-lover. There is no right or wrong answer to this. It is all up to one’s own conscience and personal interpretation. However, I have learnt that when it comes to food and…

  • Kimi’s home!! (a sharing by Koo)

    As a pet owner, my two greatest nightmares would be (1) my pet has a life-threatening illness and there is no known treatment, and (2) my pet is lost. Kimi was lost two weeks ago. She struggled out of her leash and ran off during a routine morning walk with her owner, Mr Lee. Efforts…
