  • Cleo’s foe….or friend?

    Cleo has been war-crying on a daily basis…up on the ledge. G-Cuz has been coming over every day and intimidating/annoying her (or so we think). For those new to G-Cuz, he is Mr G’s brother and lives at the back, diagonally, from our house. So, every day, I have had to stop Cleo from making…

  • Old curtain material – for foldable bags

    Remember just a few days ago, we sold this bag for a donation of RM5000? It’s made from old curtain material from my mum and the cloth is actually water-resistant on the inside (I didn’t know this until now!). My mum found more of the cloth and this piece can be made into three small…

  • Brown songkety foldable bag

    We thank Agnes’ friend for ordering this brown songkety bag. These bags are made from the “sample pieces” of cloth that my mum bought sometime ago. Each piece is just enough to make one small bag, so that makes every bag totally unique! I get a thrill out of being able to maximise the cloth…

  • Insufficient postage – the story continues…

    Ref: https://animalcare.my/2017/02/03/insufficient-postage/ For those who might have missed the above post, yesterday, we received a note from Pos Msia saying that there is a mail with insufficient postage waiting for our collection (of course we have to pay a fine for it) at the post depot. I’ve had quite a few episodes of receiving mails with…

  • Puffin’s 32nd anniversary

    Today, “Ren Ri”, the 7th day of Chinese New Year, is the 32nd anniversary of Puffin’s passing. Puffin was my pet dog (since I was 8 years old until 22). He passed away of old age in 1985. Here’s an excerpt from my book, Pawprints on my Heart: On the seventh day of Chinese New…

  • Insufficient postage!!

    Here we go again…. I know I sound like a broken tape recorder, but it’s happening again – applicants who don’t put enough stamps in an ordinary post. Previously, the mail is still delivered, stamped “T”, that means the recipient (poor us) is taxed double for whatever balance of postage is required. And time and…

  • Success…with Ms Poldrey Hepburn and Comrade Zurik

    You’d remember that Poldrey and Zurik were the only ones who refused to eat Coco&Joe’s barf per se.  I got them to eat my half-cooked-half-raw home-prepared food, but they would turn up their noses and walk away from even a tiny bit of barf. The smell of barf was enough to turn them off completely and…

  • Futurism – meat without animals dying

    This is controversial, but do give it a listen and let us know what you think. Many people want to be vegetarians; they feel sorry for animals dying in slaughterhouses tragically and painfully, but here’s the thing – they simply find it hard to give up the pleasures of the tongue: the taste of meat.…
