  • Updates on Tara

    According to my mum, Tara appears to be much better today.  We hope she will recover in time.  I asked Dr Khor and he said it all depends on the immune system of each dog.  Some recover more quickly than others.  Some succumb later.  Distemper is tricky, but there is hope.  As long as there…

  • Updates on Sean and Jackie, and the four at PAWS

    We visited Sean and Jackie today.  Sean appears to be on the road to recovery from the distemper, and can already be discharged.  But we have no fosterer for him.  We brought chicken and he polished everything up immediately.  Jackie is not doing too well, but ate up the chicken.  She spends all the time…

  • Updates on Shaggy and Roger

    Here’s an update from Lisa, who is helping us look after Shaggy and Roger (both brought back from Bentong for treatment): Went to see them both this morning. I was late but I called to let the clinic know so they fed Roger and Shaggy with the kibble. I came later with the supplementary food…

  • Visiting Tara

    We visited Tara this evening.  She seemed very quiet and calm.  Mum said her appetite has not been too good.  I brought a new type of antibiotic for her.  Hi Tara! I fed her her medicines and she obediently took of all it without making any fuss.  She is incredibly obedient.  Mum says she has…

  • Latest updates on the eight+Shaggy

    I checked on Sean (the male with distemper) today and he is a bundle of energy!  According to Dr Khor, he has no more diarrhoea and looks as fit as a fiddle.  He is also eating well, and puts up a big fight when it’s medicine time.  He looked perfectly happy in the bathroom, too. …

  • Christmas at PAWS

    I cooked chicken and garlic again for the foursome at PAWS today. That’s Wendy, after finishing all the chicken (only the soup left).  According to the caretaker, Mr Thanla, the vet came to examine Wendy and discovered she had a maggot wound.  The maggots have been cleaned out now, and Wendy’s wounds need to be…

  • Sean and Jackie’s updates

    I was going to visit Sean and Jackie today, but when I came back from Tara’s (at my parents’), it was already too late as Dr Khor was closing early today.  However, Terry visited them and both are doing well.  Sean still has diarrhoea, though, but he looks more active and happier than he was…

  • Roger’s and Shaggy’s updates

    Lisa has been helping us with Roger and Shaggy, both of whom are boarded at a clinic in Old Klang Road.  Here’s some updates from Lisa: Went to see them today with fish, vegetables with garlic and pumpkin. They ate the fish but wouldn’t touch the pumpkin or garlic. Fussy!! Roger seemed quite sad for…

  • Tara’s progress

    I visited Tara at my parents’ home today.  She was very happy to see me at the gate and wagged her tail excitedly. Mum says she is starting to be “naughty” and bites her teeth tightly when mum tries to feed her medicine.  I brought chicken for Tara today, enough supply to last for a…

  • Chicken soup for the ones at PAWS

    This morning, off I went on my rounds again, to feed the dogs boarding at PAWS.  But before that, I had to drop in at work.  School is starting soon, on 4th January, and I need to get my things ready.  But wait…here’s the chicken soup I had cooked for the dogs.  I added in…

  • Sean is now boarding in a bathroom

    Instead of being all alone upstairs, Sean was moved down to a bathroom when I visited him this evening.  I had cooked chicken for Sean and Jackie.  Both loved the chicken to bits! Jackie (photo taken this morning) Sean still has diarrhoea, though.  I hope he will get well soon, with medication and care. Sean and…

  • Of humans, dogs and miracles

    Just this morning I was writing about needing wisdom to keep me going when suddenly a bomb was dropped on me.  The fosterer who had promised to take in Sean (the dog with distemper) told me he did not want to do it anymore.  That’s it.  No apologies, no offers to help me look for…

  • Urgently required – fosterer for Sean

    Sean is one of the two dogs with distemper (from the Klang rescue).  The other is Tara and my parents have adopted her, and is nursing her now.  Sean is presently boarding at a clinic, but the clinic has told me they would like Sean to be discharged after three days’ treatment (today is the third…

  • Wisdom is needed to keep us going

    This Klang rescue has really taken a toll on me.  Not only did I come down with flu after the three-day rescue, but the emotional upheaveals that came after discovering some were sick (two with distemper) was something unexpected.  I never knew we would have to bring back any sick dog.     Many other unexpected issues…

  • Jackie is improving too

    I went over to Dr Khor’s clinic to settle the bill for the spaying and also to look in on Jackie (the one with the eye wound – we brought her back a day earlier).  Jackie is getting better already.  We will put her up for adoption later.  Left my camera in the car, so no…
