  • Taking Willy and Heidi to the vet’s

    Heidi came this morning and headed straight to the kitchen. She learns incredibly fast. Didn’t want Natural Balance. Only wants Monge. Very hungry again. It wasn’t a problem catching her and putting her into the carrier. Willy also wasn’t a problem too, but that’s because he was already in the cage. Heidi was comfortable in…

  • Urge China to outlaw the dog and cat meat trade

    Coincidentally, this came on Meatless Monday: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/309/277/219/?taf_id=9350209&cid=fb_na As we’ve always said, not only dog and cat meat, other meats too. Let’s do our part and go meatless at least once a week, please.

  • A case of mail dumping by 3 postmen

    A reader alerted us to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne4Pvg3smRw#at=35 In view of the above, which we hope is only an isolated case, we strongly advise all applicants to keep a photocopy of all receipts, just in case. If you post by ordinary mail, it should arrive (during non-festive seasons) in 5 days. If after 7 days, you do…

  • It’s Meatless Monday again!

    I’m reeling from the thought of Sonny and Lek-Lek being still missing and that some workers around Imm’s Shelter eat dogs. I hope and pray Sonny & Lek-Lek can be found soon. I know how the mere thought of people eating dogs (or cats) sends shivers down our spine. But we must remember that eating…

  • Sonny & Lek-Lek, still missing (from Judy Chua, for Imm’s Shelter)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2013/07/20/lek-lek-and-sonny-mother-and-son-dogs-missing-from-imms-shelter/ If you are able to help search for Sonny and Lek-Lek, please contact Judy Chua directly.

Re Lek-lek and Sonny, their disappearance is baffling & suspicious.  If…

  • Of dogs, adoptions, encouragement, etc. (a sharing by Lester Hiew)

    Lester’s email says it all. I am personally very amazed at his adoption rate, but I know it is sheer hard work. Congratulations on the wonderful work that you and your mum do, Lester! We also thank Mr Kok Khee Wee and all donors for supporting Lester and Jenny’s work. In the hands and hearts…

  • Sir David Attenborough says humans need to stop breeding

    Here’s what the renowned naturalist says: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/01/22/david-attenborough-radio-times-interview-population_n_2524315.html An excerpt: David Attenborough has described humans as a “plague on Earth” that need to slow down breeding to stop the world’s population being reduced by more brutal means. Speaking to the Radio Times, the beloved naturalist said the impact of the rapidly increasing population “will come home to…

  • The case of a negligent owner (a sharing by Dr Veeranoot Nissapatorn)

    Dr Veeranoot called me more than a week ago, asking if we could get someone to help rescue a dog from the street. I gave her a number of an organisation that does rescue work. Unfortunately, no one picked up the call. Apart from this, I do not know of any other organisation or individual…

  • Dinner for all

    Vincent eats with Mr G. Mr Zurik with Daffodil’s family and Timmy. Today, for the first time, Willy attempted to come out of the cage. Just one or two more days, Willy. We’ve come this far already. The vet said to bring him back for a check up tomorrow or Tuesday. If his scrotum is…

  • A Primal treat for everyone

    Since the Primal Freeze-Dried stock has not arrived yet, I’ve been storing this one pack as treats for everyone. Cleo LOVES, LOVES, LOVES it! Well yes, she loves raw food, so it’s no surprise that she would love Primal. It is BARF nuggets. That’s all you’re giving us? For some reason, Tabs didn’t want any…

  • A peaceful Sunday

    For once today, Mr Zurik did not make a fuss or “cari pasal” with Vincent. There was peace at the patio as everyone bad breakfast. The after-breakfast sojourn. There is peace. Heidi came much later in the morning. Last night, she stayed until midnight. This morning, she hung out at the basketball court to accompany…

  • Our books are in Kulai, Johor!

    As they say, one thing leads to another… At the recent Pet World 2013, Shaidatul brought her children to visit us. They had come all the way from Kulai on the last day. Shaidatul and her family helped carry some books back to Kulai for distribution and some were put at Gloria’s Pet Store. Gloria…

  • Heidi, what’s your story?

    I guess we will never know, just as we’ll never know Willy’s story too. My initial supposition that Willy had come from the same house as Vincent could be wrong. He’s just too scared of people to have been a former pet. Yet, He’s always hung around that same house that Vincent came from. Now,…
