April 4, World Stray Animals Day - I love Cesar!!

World Stray Animals Day: Why This Cause is So Important to Me

Cesar’s Video for
World Stray Animals Day

By Cesar Millan

I was very honored to be asked to be the ambassador for World Stray Animals Day and I wanted to take a moment to explain why it means so much to me.

People see stray animals going through garbage on the street looking for food and they would just rather not see them. They don’t make the neighborhood look nicer—they just seem like they’re dirty and spread disease. They don’t really care where they these animals go, as long as they’re gone.

But you see, in many ways, I was a stray. I came to America. I had practically nothing. I didn’t know when I was going to eat. I didn’t know where I was going to sleep. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. I knew I was good inside, but I was here in a strange place away from the family who loved me and I didn’t speak English and couldn’t talk to the people around me. It’s a scary thing to sleep on the streets and not know what the future is going to bring.

I was very lucky, because I was able to improve my situation by educating myself, learning the language, and developing my talents. I was even more lucky because people like Jada Pinkett had faith in me and reached out to help me raise myself up and become who I am. Things were bad, but with the help of good people, they got better for me.

But here’s the big difference between me and strays. I chose to come to America and I knew it would be a rough beginning and I went into it with my eyes open. The 600 million stray animals who live on the streets around the world didn’t make that choice. They were thrown away by their owners, born on the streets, or just simply got lost. They didn’t create their situation. They just have to live with it, or is more often the case, die with it.

Anyone who knows my philosophy, knows I only like to support no-kill animal shelters because I can’t stand the thought of euthanizing a dog simply because it's unwanted. But an even crueler form of euthanasia is what these animals face on the streets. Starving to death. Dying of untreated injury or disease. Dying painful deaths at the hands of cruel humans.

In Los Angeles this week, two dogs were found with their heads cut off and thrown into dumpsters. I’m happy the City Council has offered a reward to find out who did it. But it proves that cruelty to animals can happen in anyone’s backyard, even mine. It’s a problem that needs to be addressed locally and globally.

I think most people look at stray animals and see them as a nuisance. But these are actual living feeling beings that lead incredibly brutal and painful lives. And it’s largely because of things that we humans have done.

When I rescued Argos in Spain he had been abused by hunters who had broken his leg and used electrical tape to bind his mouth shut. He was scared and alone. Now he’s happy and one of the most valued members of my pack. He’s a wonderful companion and you only need to look at him to see the gratitude in his eyes. I know I have a friend for life in Argos.

I needed help, I’m sure each of you has needed help at some time. We all need help. And these animals most definitely need our help.

Wednesday, April 4th is World Stray Animals Day. There are over 600 million stray animals all over the world who suffer lives of misery—starving, cold, sick, and abused. It’s why I wanted to be involved with this day and why I made this video.

amekim the naughty but adorable...

Amekim... the first time I looked at him, I sympathized him...
Then I brought him home, and found him really... sticky and won't leave you.. which is a plus point for a pet... I didn't have to walk him on leash.. he'll just stay by me...
Then I started talking to him, stroking and pampering him...
and I think, restrospectively...
that's where all the problem began...

He started whining everytime it's time for wee wee (he can't do it in his spacious house!)...
grizzling whenever he knows that I'm home...
jumping and nipping on my thigh causing lots of mysterious bruises on my legs...
then he started running around crazily in the house compound (before this he was very calm, submissive, controllable) and now he's obviously another personality!

For the superstitous chinese, some will say he "zhong guai" (kena rasuk hantu/ possessed by ghost). However, being a scientific and rational person, I began to understand tat I was the culprit of this "zhong guuaai" switch of personality.

I've captured some photos with my handphone, but my memory card's got some prob, so I can't post it up yet..

Maybe some time later, and you'll understand why I'd say he's crazy.

Simply off-mode.

Where to buy furminator in Malaysia/ KL/ Singapore?

Where to buy furminator in Malaysia/ KL/ Singapore?

It's been a while since I last written my thoughts in this blog. But I figure this time I would just promote on this wonderful product. ;-)

Toffee has been shedding less lately, and I've lent my furminator to my sister (she's got 3 dogs!). So now all I can do is to sweep the floor... :P


Some times although a dog's hair maybe short, they can shed super seriously excessively e.g. dobermann. This kind of breed definitely needs a furminator.

Toffee's hair is medium short (not those super short like miniature pinscher type), more like the in-between of a rottweiler's and a german shepherd's hair. But he sheds like no one's business. Through out the years! And thinking of years.. gosh... he's already 7 this year! I'm already concerned abt stuffs... geriatric stuffs... but that's another issue. Back on furminator at home now.

But there are dogs whose hair is long, yet doesn't shed - we're looking at the poodles.


Mixed breeds - some shed, some do not. It depends. But I still find mixed breeds the best of all breeds. ;-)



The FURminator deshedding tool is a specially designed shed-less treatment for cat and dog brush. FURminator's unique blade is designed to remove loose hair like no other. Dog groomers love this deshedding brush because it removes undercoat hair from dogs and cats while leaving the shiny top coat intact and healthy.
If you're interested to buy the furminator, drop me a comment n i'll be happy to get back to you. If you stay in malaysia (depending on which area)/singapore the shipping (registered pos) takes only 2-15 days. If you want it faster then there is courier service, which is of course, more expensive. ;-)
My furminator hav been with me for almost 2 years now - so far... so good. ;-) (at least my blade is still working fine!)

Will blog again another time. Ciao!

Toying around with small breeds dogs?

This morning as I was walking both my dogs, a neighbour called out to me, "Hey Pam, why don't you toy around with small dogs instead?"

MY dogs are medium sized mixed breed, one being 20kg, the other being 11kg. Both are cute, but sometimes incomprehensivably naughty. Today they were behaviouring acceptably well. I turned to him, "Keeping dogs is not about toying around with their lives. They are not toys. Rather, it is about providing them a safe and good home."

My answer shook him from his relaxed-early-morning grin, "You mean these dogs are stray ar?""Just this one," I pointed to the 11kg Amek.He widened his grin, "You know Pam, in places like Vietnam and Cambodia your dogs will be delicious meals!"I smiled, "I know, which is why I do not see these countries growing/developing."He was again, shocked by my reply.
This is amek, the 11kg shiba inu x miniature pinscher, who's looking for a good home.

I do not like shocking people early in the morning, but neither do I like to entertain insensitive remarks. 4-5 years ago he was keeping a Jack Russel Terrier, and 2-3 years ago he was keeping pekingese/pomeranion (I can't remember clearly) and today he's having a chi hua hua in his home.Although I never liked his "switching/toying" around dogs' attitude, I never commented on it. But today I guess the opportunity came.

Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, China, The Philippines are countries which are infamous for dog eating.Although God has said in the bible that all animals are edible, I do not think all are beneficial. All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial.

Use your discernment to judge, think about it. If you have wisdom, use it.

No matter what, an animal who understands the meaning of "faithfulness & love" more than the average human being, do not deserve to end up on the dining table.

A creature who would die protecting his master, should never deserve to end up on the dining table.

An animal who knows how to mourn (sincerely) upon the death/departure of its owner, do not deserve to end up on the dining table.
A spesies which the mankind would call "His Best Friend" should never deserve to end up on the dining table.


**THe mark of civilization of a nation is gauged by the way they treat the animals.

Inhumane killing of licensed dogs in Ipoh, Malaysia

Inhumane killing of licensed dogs in Ipoh

IPOH: The recent killing of a licensed therapy dog by Ipoh City Council enforcement officers is totally unacceptable, said Perak state executive councillor Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon.
“It is too much,” he said yesterday.

He wants the city council to investigate the matter.
Food fair: Dr Mah (right, in white t-shirt) trying his hand at making chapati during the ISPCA food fair in Ipoh Sunday.

Speaking to reporters after opening a food fair in aid of Ipoh Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Dr Mah said a more humane manner was needed to put down dogs.
On Oct 29, the dog named Spunk, belonging to a 75-year-old woman, was gunned down after it was caught by council dog catchers.

According to a blog named Petpositive, run by the Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and Elderly Association, Spunk was wearing a valid dog licence at the time of the incident.
Petpositive said the woman had wanted to bring Spunk for his daily walk.
She, however, left the dog unattended for a while as she went to her house to bring toilet paper to pick up after Spunk.

When she came out of the house, she saw Spunk in a council lorry. The 10-year-old dog was later found shot at a nearby neighbourhood.
Asked why the council opted to shoot dogs rather than put them to sleep, Dr Mah, who is also state Local Government Committee chairman, said it was more economical.
“Notwithstanding that, I will talk with the animal rights groups for their views on the methods of putting down dogs,” he added.

Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran said he visited the woman, a retired teacher.
“She is devastated and hurt. She has mentally broken down,” he said when contacted yesterday, adding the woman has difficulty controlling her emotions.
Kulasegaran lambasted the council for their inhumane treatment of the dog, adding that there was no apology from the council to the woman so far.

“There is not even a word about compensation due to her,” he said.

http://4allpetlovers.com or www.4allpetlovers.com

I used to maintain 2 blogs, ie this one that you're surfing/reading, and the other one is http://4AllPetLovers.com or some preferred to type it as www.4allpetlovers.com.

either way, it's the same. It is a blog that I dedicate to bring the latest information about Dog Adoption, Dog Training Tips, Pet Food, etc. So to my friends who have problem training, adopting dogs, doggie tips, i'll refer them to that blog of mine, 4allpetlovers.com

unfortunately, that blog required me to pay some amount of money per year. Since it's not a profit-oriented blog, it will not make any sense for me to pay the money, and maintain it. Well, some bloggers may differ, to them, it's "their" personal site, so that little money is no issue to them.

I'm not an avid blogger, the reason I blog is because I got frustrated/lazy repeating the same info again n again n again.. so instead, to make things simpler, I refer people to my blog, 4allpetlovers.com

But now... since 4allpetlovers.com is no longer valid, I'll have to cramp all info into this faithful pam-pam.blogspot.com (thank God it's still free for the moment!).

So to all my friends who's been wondering, "what happened to http://4allpetlovers.com?" Well, it's gone. It's now been transferred to my http://pam-pam.blogspot.com. To be specific, I've created a few labels "4allpetlovers.com" and "training tips" so you guys can find wat you want or may be interested in there.

Till then, that's all for now. God bless everyone! ;-)

Dear dog with owner of mastectomy (breast cancer)

Dear dog with owner of mastectomy (breast cancer)

Anyone who has pets will really like this. You'll like it even if you don't and you may even decide you need one! Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.' Lucky was a real character.

Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing. Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box.It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer.

Something told her she was going to die of this disease.....in fact; she was just sure it was fatal.She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought, "He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him!" The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.


The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.
Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap..

Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed. When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong. She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life.

He had covered her with his love. Mary forgot about dying.. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free.. Lucky He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.

Remember....live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God.. And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most Credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care for us.

Don't feel like writing

Ever felt thoughts swishing thru n fro your mind, it seemed like your mind is overwhelming, questions, answers, facts, keep churning about your mind, you felt like you have so much to write in your blog, but the moment you turn on the pc, typed in the first few sentences...

you stopped, your mind was empty for a while, and you broke down into tears.

The past two weeks have been tough for me, I can't write, I term it as a "recuperating period".
I can't even talk about it, coz I knew I'd cry if I do. I don't want people's sympathy. I just needed understanding ears.

I'm hurt, and I'm waiting for my heart to heal.

Grievous dog's leg neck tied tightly to grill and wood shoved down inside its throat in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.(Ghastly animal abuse at Kepong)

Grievous dog's leg neck tied tightly to grill and wood shoved down inside its throat in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Ghastly animal abuse at Kepong KTM station

I am writing because of a grievous incident that took place on Monday, March 15 at about 3pm at Kepong Central KTM Station. My friends and I (six of us) were there to take the train to the Bank Negara station.

After parking our cars, we heard a dog howling, more like a painful cry. Then, we noticed a dog being tied to the grill (steel fence) of the KTM station. As we approached the dog, we stood aghast at the sight.

The stray dog's leg and neck was tied very tightly to the grill and a piece of wood had been shoved down inside its throat! The dog was bleeding and its feces were all around it. The string was attached to a pole in the KTM station.

Immediately, we confronted the KTM workers. They said that it was done by Kuala Lumpur City Hall workers because a minister was to be visiting the station next week. They failed to explain further.
At once, we called the SPCA and the Paws animal welfare society. The SPCA responded efficiently by informing us that an animal control officer would be there soon. We made a slight commotion in front of the KTM station but the KTM workers were not concerned at all.

After about an hour, as we were returning to the KTM Kepong Central Station, we received a call from the SPCA officer stating that the dog was now not tied up and was moving around. When we arrived, the dog was limping. The same KTM workers avoided us as we tried to confront them. A passer-by told us that the dog has been that way for quite some time.

The SPCA officer could not capture the dog as it walked away for quite a distance. He advised us to write to the media and to the SPCA as well.
Doesn't our country's animal rights support the idea that an animal has the right to live its life without being harmed and hurt by humans? We realize that people define the meaning of animal rights and abuse in different ways but aren't the citizens of our country merciful?

This dog could have been just put to sleep if it had been harming the public or causing a nuisance. Why stick a wooden stick down its throat?

Missing dog returns home - Miller shih tzu Penang, Kuala Lumpur

From the bottom of my heart... I AM AMAZED!! How can the veterinarian recognize the dog? Amazing. Good story to be shared. ;-)

Missing dog returns home
By K. KASTURI DEWI

kasturidewi@thestar.com.my

GEORGE TOWN: The frantic search for Miller, a seven-year-old Shih-Tzu that went missing here on Feb 21, ended well when the dog was found safe hundreds of kilometres away in Kuala Lumpur.
The good news came on Saturday when a veterinarian called businessman Michael Khaw and told him that he recognised Miller from a postcard that Khaw and his wife May Chong had distributed at his clinic.
Loving pooch: Alicia patting Miller as she plays with the dog in Penang yesterday. The Shih-Tzu went missing last month after wandering out of its owner’s home.
Khaw said the veterinarian told them that a woman from Kuala Lumpur had brought Miller to his clinic on Feb 21 and asked for the dog to be kept overnight there as she was leaving for the city the next day.
“I was convinced that the dog he was talking about was Miller because he mentioned about the scar on Miller’s left hind leg,” said Khaw when met at his business outlet in Prangin Mall yesterday.
He said he called the woman after obtaining her phone number from the veterinarian.
The woman claimed she had found the dog at Burmah Road but had given Miller away to a friend.
“I then told her that I had lodged a police report and after much coaxing, she finally admitted Miller was with her,” he added.

He said he drove to Kuala Lumpur with his wife and three-year-old daughter Alicia on Saturday afternoon.
The family was then reunited with Miller when the woman’s niece handed over the dog at a hypermarket in Cheras.
They also gave the woman RM500 as a token of appreciation and planned to send a bouquet to the veterinarian for his help.
Miller went missing after wandering out of its owner’s house at Irrawaddy Road.

Saved by grace (how to nurse new born orphan kitten)

Saved by grace (how to nurse new born orphan kitten puppy)
"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!" ~Romans 5:6-9

The above verses from the holy bible explains what God's grace is about. Men are doomed to eternal death, but by grace, God saved us. I heard of a news lately, it reminded me much about God's grace.

A lady caught a pregnant stray cat on the street and brought her to a clinic to get her spayed and aborted (this is a common, commendable, charity practice done in many countries to help put an end to the overwhelming stray population. to find out more about stray cat or dog population, click here.) During the neutering surgery, one of the technician saw that the fetuses within the uterus were moving. It seemed to him as though they were trying to breathe.


Should he rescue or leave the fetuses within the uterus to die slowly?

Let's look at the present issue here.

1. The momma cat was a stray - nobody wanted her, and after the surgery, the "owner" will leave her back where she belonged.

2. The technician was instructed to leave the uterus alone and do not free the fetuses.
3. The "owner" have asked for an abortion, not a caesarean.
4. The technician lived in a shared, rented room where pets are prohibited.
5. The technician is of low-income group - which means he's only got enough to feed himself on a daily basis. If he were to nurse the kittens, where should he find the money to buy milk, etc.?
6. The fetuses were "meant" to die.

What should he do?

.
.
..
.
.
.
.
.
Against all odds, without the knowledge of the other staffs, he cut the uterus, allowed the kittens to breathe, and kept it in his room. He nursed them, and they survived as orphans, without a momma.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but think... "These kittens were doomed to die. Legally/juridically they must die. But what saved their lives?"

Love and grace.
So was how God saved us, only in much much more incredible, bigger ways -
He DIED, brutally tortured for us, in order to save us.
Would the technician die to save the kitten's life? ;-)

Would the technician bear whippings, spattings and crucifixion to save the kitten?
.

There is no God like Jesus.

Disabled pet paralyse wheelchair suffer

Love knows no bounds
########
A disabled pet presents unique challenges, but none deter these committed animal lovers, writes CHAI MEI LING


MARJAN Sipsma is a pet owner extraordinaire. She dotes on her five dogs, five cats and a kitten.
Not only that, she is totally committed to her paralysed terrier mix, Snoopy.

Several times a day, she has to carry all 12kg of Snoopy to the garden for exercises.
She also cleans after the dog, plays with him and turns him over.
When she walks the other dogs in the evening, Snoopy comes along in a wagon.
Snoopy in the wagon which Marjan Sipsma uses to take him out for a walk.
At night, Sipsma sets her alarm clock to ring every three hours so she can adjust his position to prevent sores.

Sipsma, an expatriate from the Netherlands who has been in the country for more than a decade, acknowledges that caring for a disabled pet is hard work.
"I am thankful to my maid for her help. There are only two options -- you make the sacrifice, or you put the dog down -- and I'm not very good with the last one."
Just a puppy when he got hit by a car eight years ago, Snoopy's entire back was smashed to a pulp.

Some children brought him to the veterinarian, where he was nursed back to health.
Adopted by Sipsma three-and-a-half years ago, Snoopy was struck by tragedy another three times.
"He became paralysed after collapsing, falling down and choking on a bone. At one point, his eyes were the only parts that could move."

Snoopy has had a vet acupuncturist and animal communicator-cum-masseuse work on him, and has just started going for a weekly swim as part of physiotherapy.
While Sipsma believes Snoopy will never walk again because of the extent of his injuries, she hopes he will one day recover enough muscle mass to turn himself over or shift his weight.


Klang Valley-based pet rescuers Joanne Low and Leigh Chen are also caring for disabled pets.
Jumaat Oktober, which has feline leukaemia, has surpassed vets’ prediction of her life expectancy.
Kiki, a stray, hurt himself when he was 3 weeks old, losing the function of his hind legs.
Low and Chen have tried almost everything under the sun to get Kiki cured -- from conventional treatments, which involve X-rays and nerve tests, to alternative medicine and acupuncture -- to no avail.


Treatments have so far set the two friends and donors back by some RM10,000.
Now 8 months old, Kiki scoots on his bottom to move around. His right hind leg was amputated three months ago after he developed a habit which saw him constantly chewing on it.
The biggest challenge for Low, who houses Kiki, is to clean up after him because of his loss of bladder and bowel control.

"I do get annoyed at times. Caring for a handicapped pet is troublesome, but when you get to know him and his funny character, it's worth it," says Low, who has another dog which needs special care.
Latte, a chihuahua, suffers from an incurable neurological problem which prevents her from standing straight and walking properly. Low bought the dog from a pet shop.
Another person who takes in unwanted animals is property manager Kathy Revi.


She keeps 12 cats in her centre, one of which is Jumaat Oktober.
The cat has feline leukaemia, an incurable viral disease.
Because of her vulnerable immune system, Jumaat has to be kept indoors all the time.
Kathy has been feeding her lingzhi tablets, made from medicinal mushrooms, for the last five years to boost her immunity.
Found seven years ago at a construction site, Jumaat was stuck in mud up to the neck.
Kathy also feeds and sterilises strays -- both cats and dogs -- which venture into the compound of the property she manages.
The animated animal lover says her family has cared for animals, including chickens and goats, and nursed injured wild foxes for as long as she can recall.

Her parents had a three-legged cat called Tripod, and Kathy, a cat with renal failure which needed dialysis.
Often, a pet's quality of life can be improved with management, says a Dr Teoh from a veterinary clinic in Kuala Lumpur.
Dr Teoh says his disabled dog Mei Mei has been happier since he bought a RM1,500 custom-made cart from the United States for her.
Similarly, Sipsma has also got Snoopy a four-wheel cart, shoes and a cooling mat from the United States.

For these pet owners, euthanasia is the last resort.
"Why put Kiki down when he's strong, healthy and playful?" asks Chen.
Kathy says she doesn't always take suggestions from vets to put animals to sleep.
"If a vet suggests it because taking care of the pet is going to cost me a lot of money and time, I'll put my foot down. But if the injury is too severe and the animal is suffering, then there's no choice."
Sipsma says she is not opposed to the idea of euthanasia, having put down sick pets before, but she believes that as long as an animal is healthy, it's unfair to terminate its life.
She recounts the time when she first saw a dog in a wheelchair on a television programme in the Netherlands years back.
"When I saw the dog wearing nappies and being brought out in a cart, I said, 'Oh c'mon! If it's time to go, it's time to go'.
"But once you're in that position, it changes your entire perception.
"On the other hand, if my dog or cat is in pain and there's no light at the end of the tunnel, I'll be the first to put it down because it's selfish to keep it alive for my sake. Loving an animal is knowing when to let go."

Puppy hit by car accident fractured leg treat

I have determined to post up beautiful things in my blog. Even if 10 ugly things happened in my day, I shall still post the one beautiful thing that happened.

Puppy hit by car accident fractured leg treat

This morning two young guys walked in nervously – Do you guys treat dog?

“Yah, we do,” I replied.
“Broken leg, you do?”
“Yah, we do.”
"How do you treat it?”
“Bring it in and let us see it.”

Then the two guys brought in 2 puppies – one with a leg badly fractured.
“I reversed my car, and found these two puppies crying after that.” One of the guy said.
“These your dogs?”
"No, they’re stray. I don’t know where they came from. Suddenly they went underneath my tyre.”
“Treating a fractured leg would cost much. You willing to do so?”
“Yah, what to do? I banged onto him.”


”Yah, what to do? I banged onto him.” These are the words that are so lacking in today’s society. These days out of 100 hit-by-car cases, 99 are hit-and-run. And today I met some unfortunate nice people who are so responsible they are willing to spend a thousand to treat two puppies. The most intriguing part was, they are ordinary factory labourers with low income.

It is the morale behind the story that brightens my day. It was their responsible, compassionate spirit that twisted my ugly glasses toward mankind.

Although 9 devils roam around, I manage to bump into 1 angel.

That’s good news to me! ;-)

World shame - animals, are sometimes, kinder than the so-called higher-human.

Denmark is a big shame.The sea is stained in red and in the meanwhile it's not because of the climate effects of nature.
It's because of the cruelty that the human beings (civilised human) kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins.
This happens every year in Feroe iland in Denmark . In this slaughter the main participants are young teens.WHY?To show that they are adults and mature.... BULLLLsh

In this big celebration, nothing is missing for the fun. Everyone is participating in one way or the other, killing or looking at the cruelty “supporting like a spectator”

Is it necessary to mention that the dolphin calderon, like all the other species of dolphins, it’s near instinction and they get near men to play and interact. In a way of PURE friendship

They don’t die instantly; they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick hocks. And at that time the dolphins produce a grim extremely compatible with the cry of a new born child.

But he suffers and there’s no compassion till this sweet being slowly dies in its own blood




Its enough!We will send this mail until this email arrives in any association defending the animals, we won’t only read. That would make us accomplices, viewers.

Rawhide/ beefhide for dog chewing habit

Most dogs love to chew, at least in their puppyhood. However, some dogs love to chew through out. Dog owners out there, you know what kind of dog your dog is! ;-)

My dog is not very large, he's only a medium breed, but the rawhide that I choose to get for him? It's the GIGANTIC rawhide. Look at this picture below!
When I saw this rawhide at the petshop the other day, I couldn't help but to drool... and then started giggling myself. I imagined my dog's drools, and of course, how he's going to chew this raw hide out?
Boy, didn't i had a good laugh!

Dog teeth (carnassial, canine tooth) care - scaling & polishing

I'm used to seeing dogs and cats being anaesthetized. But everytime I think of my own pet (dog or cat) being anaesthetized - I'd cry.

The thought of them falling unconscious and fully depend on human for their life is just unbearable for me. I want my pets to be happy, conscious all the time - even when they're sleeping, I can always wake them up anytime I like.
One simple procedure that always require general anaesthesia for dogs is Scaling and Polishing. Why? Simply because of the expensive and sharp-edged instruments used in the procedure. Thus I always make it a point to check my Toffee's teeth every week. The moment I start to see plaque formation, I'd remove it manually with my fingers. Then brush the teeth and gums daily with tooth brush and plain water.
Honestly he dislikes it. But he's already five years old this year - teeth care is vital.

Red arrows pointed at yellow plaques beginning to take place in the canine and carnassial teeth. It's only the beginning....

I'm sorry you were kicked out - the most handsome, cute, tabby tom cat ever.

The first time I saw you, you were a stray
wandering around, searching for something to fill your hunger
Thin you were, so you were picked,
and innocently you were neutered, and kept in the office. It seemed for such a long time, you understood
What the responsibility of a pet cat should be
You transformed from being a stray, to a pet
You were wild, but now you're tame
Far better than tame, you're the most docile kitty I've ever seen
I've been a nasty owner, a naughty one
Playing all sorts of stunts with you
And you had always willingly oblige
Such wonderful cat, where could anyone find?

Then I neglected your diet, because of my schedule
Someone else were left to look after you
Unknowingly you have grown, beyond your limit
One fine day, I found you overweight
The next day, you were obese

It seemed like you were put in a vicious cycle
The more you eat, the fatter you get
Then you became lazier and hungrier and you eat even more
I was so sorry, I had to put you on diet
Resulting in poor you, looking for food all the time
Eventually, your hunger costed the manager significant financial lost

I'm sorry you were kicked out from the office
My heart was broken, my heart was heavy
I will find you a new home
A better home where you can exercise
And someone will monitor your diet more responsibly
Will you ever find that home?

When I'm left with no one to turn to...
I thank God, my heavenly Father up there is still watching after me
He knows all my needs, He knows all my desires
Even before I plead before Him, He prepares the way for me
Tabby, my heavenly Dad loves me,
And He loves you too.
Surely He'll find you a good home, I know.
