  • Relieved to bits….now

    Since 12noon today, I have been on sms with a girl from Puchong who had text me to seek advice on what to do with a “situation”.  A mother-cat had given birth to three kittens inside her shoe last night.  This morning, her father wanted to get rid of the kittens, so the father took them…

  • A special thank you to Mary Yap (tshirt sales)

    We’d like to say a special thank you to Mary Yap, our volunteer, for helping us sell our tshirts to her friends and colleagues. Mary single-handedly sold a total of 53 tshirts in various sizes!  Many thanks, too, to Mary’s friends and colleagues for supporting us.  That’s Suki posing with the tshirts.  The pawprints colours…

  • Another happy story for a Sunday morning

    My mum has been updating me daily on Sean (and now, Tara).  It seems now, Tara is the fierce one, and will not take nonsense from playful Sean.  Well, it is no surprise since Tara is older, and Sean is still a puppy. Tara’s appetite is good today.  Sean’s is, well, as usual, VERY good.…

  • All lives are precious – updates and reminiscence

    Good morning everyone.  It’s Sunday morning, and I start off today with a touching story of the reunion between Sandra and her mum yesterday.  Sandra was the injured puppy in the colony at the abandoned house, looked after by Oliver Kua.  Oliver managed to take Sandra for treatment and surgery, then Sandra was boarded at…

  • What other countries do, and what we can/should do

    When the earthquake occured in Szechuan, efforts were made to rescue the pandas. When the bush fires happened in Australia, efforts were made to save the koalas. Now, an earthquake has happened in Haiti, causing massive destruction and suffering to humans and animals.  I read that some efforts are being directed to help the stray…

  • Photos of the abandoned dogs in Kuchai Lama

    I have been highlighting this case for a few days now.  Apparently (according to the neighbours), this family had kept many (as many as 20 at one time) dogs in their house compound.  Two weeks ago, they moved out, and left all the dogs behind.  The dogs do not have any food.  A good samaritan…

  • Thus have I heard…

    I have written about this before, but I think it’s timely that I repeat myself again….In Thailand, the people are very animal-friendly. The Thais seldom ever abandon their pets. Thailand actively promotes and practises TNR – the stray animals are neutered, their left ear is tipped and released back into the colony. These tipped-eared animals…

  • Indian laws as they apply to stray animals

    Source: http://www.petaindia.com/straylaws.html In India, it is against the law to: • Give an animal any injurious substance. It is illegal to put out poisoned food. (PCA, Section 11)• Transport any animal in any manner that will cause him or her unnecessary suffering. This includes loading cows into trucks without ramps and overcrowding the vehicle as…

  • Updates on the Kuchai Lama dogs

    Our volunteer was at the scene again this evening, together with Oliver Kua, who is also volunteering to help feed the dogs.  We brought a big pack of dogfood and handed it over to the neighbours. Apparently, two of the dogs may be injured or ill.  This is not surprising if they have been left…

  • Appeal to foster a puppy with distemper

    I have just received an urgent appeal from a friend.  Apparently, three puppies were rescued by a lady in Gua Musang, one of them injured.  The three puppies were doing well although the injured one is now slightly disabled.   Unfortunately, all three puppies were tested positive for distemper.  This kind lady did not know much about distemper,…

  • Latest updates on Kuchai Lama dogs

    Our volunteer and a friend went to feed the dogs in the abandoned house in Happy Garden, Jln Kuchai Lama, this evening, and were quite horrified with what they saw and found out.  They counted no less than 11 dogs, and all were hungry. With the help of the neighbours, they managed to feed some of the dogs. …

  • News from Meiji in Raub

    I’ve been communicating with Meiji to find out about the mother-dog and the five puppies at the abandoned sawmill.  Meiji called today to say that she has already brought the mother-dog and four puppies up to her sanctuary.  One more puppy was taken by one of the workers (to be his pet, I think).  But…

  • Meiji Lai, a true-blue dog-angel

    Meiji Lai is an Eight Preceptor (this means she has renounced the worldly life, and observes the Eight Precepts as her way of life, her head is also shaven, like a nun’s).  For the last ten years, she has been running Manasika Monastery up on a hill in Raub.  She is now looking after 80 abandoned…
