  • Ops Subuh 3 – as it stands now

    With all windows locked, Heidi and Ginger at the patio, Tabs in Bunny’s Place, I opened the front door and invited Minnie and Smurfy into the house for breakfast. But of course they politely declined the offer and stayed right outside the door. Yes, even little Smurfy declined. So I just waited…. His love for…

  • Lions taking it easy during South Africa’s lockdown

    The story: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/lions-kruger-lockdown-scli-intl/index.html The moral of the story: We should all just stay home as much as we can and let the animals have their natural space which is rightfully theirs.

  • Can anyone help this dog, please?

    A lady wrote to me yesterday asking for help for her dog who is “aggressive” and has bitten her. I replied saying that I am not a dog expert and am not qualified to help and that it’s best she takes the dog to an expert who can help with behavioral problems, check here for natural…

  • Ops Subuh 2 and the “Daffodil Move” (Minnie & Smurfy)

    After the failure of Ops Subuh, which was on Wednesday morning, that night, I spent more than an hour covering up the gap in which I saw Smurfy struggle out of and also which I thought was how Minnie must have escaped. It’s MCO-period, so I could only make use of whatever we have in…

  • Who’s boss?

    Cleo: I know we are called the Cow Clan. Cleo: But actually, I’m the boss. I hereby declare a name change: Cleo Clan

  • Tabs’ second nebulization

    This time, it went much, much better. She did not go to the end of the carrier. In fact, she came forward to sniff the fumes, just as Ginger does! Tabs has a mild cough. She is on Cetirizine (anti-histamine) and Neulin (broncodilator). With working from home, I spend a lot of time in Bunny’s…

  • Mimi’s story (a sharing)

    Here’s a lovely sharing from my friend, Soi Chee. It was her very first time handling a newborn kitten, with an injury too. Be inspired!! Lately we added  a new member to the family for the first time, a CAT !!!!  The newborn appeared at my brother’s door step last year June … badly wounded…

  • Another article on dogs and Covid19

    The article: https://www.icam-coalition.org/did-dogs-really-play-a-role-in-the-origin-of-sars-cov-2/ Combining his claim of dogs as the likely mammalian intestinal host in which viral evolution could take place, with this need for isolation from humans for several years, he targets feral dogs. However this exposes a lack of understanding of dog population dynamics. Dogs are a domesticated species that have evolved alongside people.…

  • The Cow Clan’s portraits

    Can you spot the four “cows”? Pole is eating her high blood medicine, hidden in some AD. Everyone wants AD too! “The Leg” is back!

  • Minnie and Smurfy came back for lunch!!

    It didn’t take long….. Minnie was back at around 1pm to wait for lunch!! I did not expect her to come back so soon, but I think my guess is correct about her perception of the entire Ops Subuh. I opened the door and they walked in by themselves. I did not force them. And…

  • The new CKD-treatment plan for Pole

    There’s a small change to Pole’s treatment plan for her progressing CKD (chronic kidney disease). Since I’ve already been doing subcut three times a week for her, doing it on alternate days isn’t much different from three times a week. So I discussed this with the vet and the vet advised that for this one…

  • MBI, please reconsider. Dogs do not transmit Covid19.

    We refer to this report: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2020/04/11/animal-to-human-transmission-ipoh-council-rounds-up-strays-just-in-case We urge and appeal to MBI (Ipoh City Council) to please reconsider their decision to capture street dogs because as far as research shows now, dogs do not transmit Covid19 to humans. It is vice-versa. Therefore, it is unnecessary to round up street dogs for this purpose. We also refer…

  • “Ops Subuh” (Minnie & Smurfy are inside the house now)

    It was about 6.30am this morning. Minnie and Smurfy were waiting for me right outside our front door. As I opened the door to go out to feed them, a thought occurred to me. It’s not a new thought, though, I already thought of it last night. Why not, instead of luring them into the…

  • Tabs’ nebulization

    Tabs had two bouts of coughing today, so I decided to nebulize her. I didn’t know what to expect as Ginger is an exceptional case. “The first cat ever to like sniffing in the fumes” was the vet’s description of Ginger when the nebulization was done at the clinic. Even at home, he does the…
