  • Visiting Russell

    We visited Russell yesterday.  Russell is one of our Klang Dog Pound survivors.  He is currently boarding at PAWS.   Russell is neutered, and has completed his vaccinations (including the booster).  He is less than 1 year old, and is very alert and active.  He would make a very good watchdog and loyal companion.  He has…

  • Sean has demodex mange and papilloma

    I’ve noticed that Sean has bald patches on his skin, and it has suddenly got quite bad over the last two days.  Today, my mum and I took him to our panel vet, Dr Vijay, for a diagnosis.    All set and ready to go.  Sean was so very obedient.  To cut a long story short, Sean…

  • In loving memory of Wendy

    Dear Friends, Wendy passed away at about 10am this morning.  I am sorry for having taken this long to write this posting as I have just come home now.  This morning, the adopter managed to feed Wendy some food.  She ate.  Then, to everyone’s delight, she defecated.  We all cheered.  She probably wanted to go…

  • Poo, glorious poo! (Wendy’s updates)

    Yes, we shall all celebrate any tiny bit of achievement by Wendy.  This morning, she woke up and ate breakfast.  Not much, but she ate….and after breakfast, guess what? She poo-ed!  Well-formed poo!!  Goodness knows how long that has not happened.  We noticed some urine two days ago too.  Here’s the poo-evidence for all to…

  • Wendy’s updates

    Wendy was still asleep when I reached her house today.  She was under the bougainvillea tree, where she is every morning.  So, we carried her cage back into the shade at the side of the house. Yesterday, I found out from the vet that a mat would be good to provide some cushion for her.  The…

  • Wendy eats half a can of AD

    Since I fed Wendy yesterday afternoon, it seemed she slept soundly and did not wake up…until my visit today.  Her adopter text me this morning to say Wendy had slipped into unconsciousness, and was not responding to touch or sound.  I was prepared for this, and I had an inkling that perhaps Wendy had just wanted…

  • Wendy wants to eat!

    I was very troubled all night and this morning.  Wendy’s adopter had text me last night saying Wendy’s breathing had gone very fast and asked me to be prepared for the worst.  This morning, again, the news was not good at all.  He said it was just a matter of time then, as she looked…

  • Latest updates on Wendy

    I would like to, once again, thank the many people who have written to me personally, to express their empathy on Wendy’s case.  Here is one very touching comment:Darling sweet Wendy, even at this point so close to death, is in fact touching and blessing so many lives by igniting love and compassion for the pain…

  • Updates on Roger

    Roger is one of our Klang rescued dogs.  We got him treated for corona virus and tick fever.  He has been neutered and vaccinated too.  Roger was adopted by Elvin Hong (many apologies, we thought his name was Eric Hong earlier) last week.   Mandy paid a visit to Elvin’s place yesterday: Here is Roger’s updates. I went…

  • Jackie goes to Raub

    Today is Jackie’s rehoming to Meiji’s sanctuary in Raub.  Meiji agreed to take Jackie and she will be under her sister’s care.  I appealed for Jackie because of her blindness.    Jackie is one of our Klang rescued dogs.  She was rescued with a bloodied eye and in very poor condition.  We brought her back…

  • Wendy in the garden

    Wendy was discharged today, from the bathroom that had been her “room” ever since she came down with distemper.  The fosterer has decided he will adopt Wendy, and take full responsibility for her wellbeing.  The first thing he did when he brought her home was to place her in the garden just to get some fresh air and…

  • The universe intervenes and provides an answer for Wendy

    Ainey, Mandy, Terry, Trevor and I deliberated for hours on sms, on what the “best possible” option would be for Wendy, and believe me, it was extremely emotionally-draining and very difficult.  But the universe provided an answer by evening, and one of the volunteers who had been feeding Wendy stepped up and has now offered…

  • Wendy in a critical state

    I visited Wendy today, and it really breaks my heart to see her in this state.  Dr Edmund says no other dog would have gone this far as their rescuers would have had them put down before a distemper dog reaches this stage.  I asked if there was anything at all that we haven’t tried…

  • Sweetie goes to the fosterer’s home

    Dayani and Purna, a young couple, have offered since last week to foster one of our female dogs.  Dayani first said they would take care of Jackie, but since Yi Lin was taking care of her already, I suggested Sweetie.   Today, we discharged Sweetie and brought her to Dayani and Purna’s house.   Sweetie, all ready to go, at the clinic.…

  • Updates on Wendy

    We visited Wendy yesterday, and I am sad to inform you that she was twitching considerably more than before.  It definitely looks like she has deteriorated.  Our foremost concern is that we want to do everything possible to relieve her pain.  Next week, if Dr Susanna can give us a slot, we will do an…
