peace.. serenity...

sori for my long silence. i had wanted to post sth once in a while, but each time blogger created problems.. like jamming my pc.. refusing me from loggin in.. n etc.. finally.. today... my chance is here..

I was walking toffee on the field late this evening, around 9pm. the nite was beautiful, as i closed my eyes i could feel the gentle breeze caressing my cheeks n hair.. oh wow.. then i took toffee to the nearby playground and lied on the slides, eyes gazing at the clear sky. Oh wow!

It was a quiet, peaceful nite... watching the white cottony clouds decorating the dark sky.. i can't help from smiling alone - admiring God's wonderful creation. =) & my thoughts went back to kuantan..

where TC was my favourite spot.. where few of my brothers n sis in christ would gather once in a while n watch the moon... have dinner n supper together.. enjoying the sea breeze.. Christine, Gary, Moses, Alex, Peter.. together they stamped a very beautiful print in my heart..

I still miss & love kuantan... ;)

An old preacher was about to die soon. So he sent a message asking both his banker & lawyer, both church members, to visit him at his home.

When the banker & lawyer entered the dying preacher's bedroom, the preacher held out his hand & motioned them to sit on each side of his bed. Then the preacher grasped their hands, sighed & smiled contentedly. No one said anything.

Both the lawyer & banker were touched & flattered tat the preacher requested for them to be with him during his final moments. but they were also confused coz the preacher had always been criticising them about their greed & despiseful behaviour. The preacher never particularly liked them.

Finally, the lawyer asked, "Preacher, why did you ask us to come?"

The preacher gathered his strength & smiled with his eyes closed, "Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go."

how to treat a fierce dog?

one of the things which i fear most in my practise: treating fierce dogs. To make things worse, they're so deadly sick, but still wants to bite your neck off, growling each time you walk near..

how to treat them?!

it's just so frustrating. first, to set up the iv (intravenous) line would take us (personnels) alot of risks of being bitten, then everything have to be done extra slowly, just in case.. who knows..
n all the injections... each injection will require a few personnels...

to make things worse, after all the hardwork of setting up the drip, when you place the dog back in the cage...

HAVOC!!
he started barking, jumping, screaming, trembling & shaking the entire cage until his drip came off. (-_-')

and we have to redo everything from the start. It's just so difficult. why can't they understand? How to get well if they dun allow ppl to treat them? (.....)

wil pets cause allergic to ur kids?

Many parents-to-be believe in the old idea that having pets in the home will cause their children to develop allergies. Tat's an OLD idea folks! =)

Studies prove that the opposite is actually true. Pets can significantly decrease your child's allergy risk! Multiple studies performed by researchers and doctors, including allergists and pediatricians, have proven that having two or more dogs and/or cats during early childhood reduces the risk of allergies by up to 77%!

A study at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta allergy tested 474 six year-old children in Detroit. About 33% of children who were not exposed to pets as infants or had only one pet tested positive for allergies. Those who lived with more than one pet as babies had at least half the chance of developing allergies.

Pets do not only decrease the odds of developing animal-related allergies, they also decrease the risk of other allergies, such as grass, dust mites, and ragweed. Because children with allergies are more likely to develop asthma, pets may also lower the odds of having this dangerous respiratory disease.

It is believed that dogs and cats reduce the risk of allergies because of the bacteria carried in their mouths. Exposure to this bacteria causes a child's immune system to develop a response system that makes allergies much less likely. Protecting children from these exposures and living a very clean life may take away the opportunity for a child to develop these defenses.

If you are worried about the effects your pet will have on your children, consider this article, and talk to your doctor. Keep in mind that your pet is also part of the family, and he has a lot to offer your children.

Your pet will help keep your child active, teach responsibility, provide love and friendship, teach respect of animals, and even improve physical health!

God will make a way...

I do not how it happened.. but God made a way for Koko to come back to my side!!!! Praise God!!!

Tat day when Koko left, I told the Lord tat I'd really want Koko back... & i do not know how it could be possible, but I really wanted Koko back very much..

How impossible it had seemed to me at first.. and though very much elated, I still couldn't believe tat Koko is finally back to my clinic!!

uc? God always make a way for his children, no matter how impossible it seems, amen! =D

I'm going to give Koko my tightest hug ever tomoro!! Praise God!!!!! =D
i missed her so-0-O-o-o-O-o-the-very-mucheeeeeeee!

Koko's left... :'(

4weeks ago a lady caught 3 stray puppies from a temple to my clinic, to "park" the puppies here while waiting for the animal sanctuary's consent. I was shocked at receiving the puppies - all of them were so frightened they were salivating nonstop, vomited & passed motion in the one small cage.

I brought them in & named them Kaka, Kiki & Koko. All 3 were scared all the time, & very defensive. Everytime I neared them, they would squeeze into the corners of the cage, growling. When I tried touching them, they would snap. Defensive. Few days later, Kaka & Kiki were sent to the sanctuary, Koko was having diarrhoea, thus was retained here.

While Koko was here, I trained her to be a friendly puppy, & she eventually placed her trust in me. Everymorning I would walk to the kennel & called, "Koko!" she would quickly wag her tail like crazy, and danced & jumped about like the "lion-dance" dancers. So very cute! Each time I opened her cage, she would run, skip & lope happily into the office. Everytime I hold some food in my hand, she'd sit & wait quietly by my side politely, trusting tat the food would be hers eventually. I bathed her, hugged her.. it was fun, just adoring her.

Today I let her play about in the office as usual, and suddenly the sanctuary owner, Ms Cici walked in. I was shocked. Though she was supposed to take Koko more than a week ago, I had not expected her to come today. "I'm here to take Koko," she said. My heart cried a big NO but my mind told me tat Koko doesn't belong here. Koko was already hiding underneath the table & boxes, for Ms Cici was a stranger to Koko.

"Koko..." I called gently. She walked out to me, eyes scared. "You're going home now..." I hugged her. "Be a good girl & do take care..." My mind started wondering wildly, "How does the sanctuary look like? How will Koko survive there? She'd be terrified!"

"One of the 2 puppies died," Ms Cici said. I was horrified, & I'm sending Koko there! What will happen to Koko? I couldn't think. Against my will, I carried Koko into the car, hugged her tight for the last time & gently placed her amidst all the things packing up the passenger seats at the back.

Koko was shivering, she looked at me. She had trusted me. & I had betrayed her trust. But there's nothing I could do, but to pray...

"Dear heavenly Father, I trust Koko in your hand today & please, please take care of her... keep her safe in your arms..."

Will I ever see her again?
