  • Riley’s portraits

    This afternoon, Riley went all the way back upstairs to her room. I didn’t see it happening but when I noticed she was missing from under the bluish stool, I looked all over the house for her but could not find her anywhere. Then I went upstairs and there she was – behind the TV!…

  • How Rey does it nowadays

    I knew Rey was going to jump so I sat on Bunny’s scratching post and waited for it. I did not know that my phone would lag (sigh). I actually took the video right from the time Rey was on the ground, before jumping but when I replayed it, it only shows Rey already on…

  • The collapsed bridge leading to Survivor Shelter

    Ms Ong sent photos and updates on the collapsed bridge leading to her shelter. Luckily her dogs still have enough food at the shelter now. We sent 12 bags to Ms Ong’s home recently and she has not been able to transport this consignment of food to her shelter yet due to the collapse of…

  • Taurine for the Super Seniors

    I was discussing Bunny’s eating problem with my raw-feeding friend the other day. Bunny is very, very choosy with food now, so feeding him is quite a challenge. My friend suggested that I give Bunny taurine as a supplement. Now, why didn’t I think of that? I know taurine is important for the heart and…

  • Riley’s trips out of the room

    Riley had two trips out of the room today. Once was in the early morning when our part-time cleaner came.  I had to keep Riley in Robin’s big condo because I had chores to do while Riley’s room was being cleaned. The Monsters were very interested in Riley, especially Minnie. Tabs too was very interested.…

  • Riley Day 3 (early morning)

    Riley finished almost all the kibble (it was a big bowl) and 3 pieces of Primal Freeze-Dried last night! She also finished the remnants of the canned food (that wasn’t much). She urinated in the soil! Yay!! I will keep adding cat litter to it. See, no hands! I don’t have to hold her. She…

  • Riley poops!!!!

    Another milestone!! Riley pooped! And she used the basin of soil. What an incredibly beautiful sight!! I will slowly add tofu litter into the basin. Hopefully I can slowly and gradually train Riley to use cat litter. Riley is hiding behind the TV again. Probably scared of the thunderstorm. And she actually ate a bit…

  • Finally, Riley eats all by herself!

    Yay!! Late afternoon, I went up to spend some time with Riley. I was able to put her on my lap and pat her. She nibbled at my arm and rubbed herself on me too.  All good. She wasn’t scared of me anymore. Before going out this evening, I left a bowl of Monge canned…

  • Riley urinates (phew!), purely by accident!

    So Riley was still hiding behind the toilet bowl upstairs. Sigh… I went up and force-fed her lunch. Managed to feed about 3/4s of a can, give and take. Still not up to her normal routine of downing 2 cans in one seating. She had a voracious appetite before we kept her indoors (for the…

  • Small steps with Riley

    Riley did not eat this morning. She must be still stressed from the major change in her life, taken from the street to a room in our house. She also has not urinated or defecated since yesterday afternoon. I was worried and I consulted the vet but she says to let her be and give…

  • What has Rey snatched from the Super Seniors now?

    Poo spots!! Yes, Rey has snatched poo spots from the Super Seniors. First, he took Cleo’s poo spot on the sandpit. The sandpit is so long, why must he take Cleo’s spot? Remember Rey has been antagonising Cleo? Maybe this is part of his project to antagonise her further? So she took Cleo’s spot, and…

  • Updates on Kinta Dog – half the surgery done

    According to Mr Lu, the vet only did half the surgery yesterday as the “growth” was way too big and not all could be removed. Kinta Dog is recuperated at the vet’s now and the next surgery will be done next week to remove all of it. I’m sorry if the information above is not…

  • Riley eats and blinks!!

    Riley did not eat all afternoon. But by evening, I took down her un-eaten food and replaced it with fresh canned food (Back2Nature) and when I went up to check – it was finished!!! That’s three-quarters of a can. Then I replenished it with another whole can. Riley has come out of the carrier and…

  • Updates on the Kinta Dog (thought to have TVT)

    For those who are new to the blog, a young lady from Ipoh sought our help to rescue a female dog with visible TVT.  We enlisted the help of friends who contacted Persatuan Pencinta Haiwan Kinta Perak. This group did the rescue over 3 days and the dog is under their care now. We have…

  • How old is Riley?

    The vet’s is fully booked until next Tuesday for surgeries. So I made an appointment for a check-up and if Riley is not old enough to be neutered, perhaps we could deworm and vaccinate her first. Getting Riley into the carrier was quite a challenge. She was quite happy hiding under the side table beside…
