Pirate the spoilt brat...

Sometimes I think I pamper my dogs too much....so much that it eventually turns them into a spoilt brat....argghhhh...it's sometimes so frustrating especially when pirate the sturbborn brat decides that he had enough of eating dry food that he decides that he will go on hungry strike for a few days....

It just so happen that his kibbles run out that day and the new bag of kibbles will only arrive the next day..so that very day i fed him so HCF...he gobble down everything as soon as i lay his bowl on the floor..and then the next day when his kibbles arrived, he decided to go on hungry strike and refuse to eat his kibbles...he would bite it and then spit everything out of his mouth and then give me that "YUCKS! The kibble taste so awful...I won't eat it..and i shall wait till you give me my HCF" look..and then starts his hungry strike..yesterday was the 3rd day of his hngry strike and he refuse to touch the kibbles...sometime mongrels can be damn stubborn..esp this spoilt brat of mine...

Usually i will give in to him and give him the HCF which he has been fighting for...but this time round..enough is enough..i shall let him continue his hunger strike till he surrender and finish each and every kibbles that i give him...

Last time when ger ger is ard..he wld gobble down his food fast as he is a selfish dog and wont want to let gerger eat his leftover even when he is already full...gerger on the other hand is never a fussy eater...she eats whatever i give her and is contented to have food to eat..that is one thing i love about her...now gerger is at boarding..our prince pirate is starting his bad habits again..since gerger is not ard to steal his food....he better give in soon and start eating his kibbles..this time round i swear i will not lose this battle :S

Visited gerger yesterday..have been visiting her 2-3times a week since she started boarding...she is doing great as usual...my beautiful ger is gaining back the weight she lost and much happier already..though she still whines when i leave (understandable)...i really enjoy the every visit to see her and treasure the time we spent together..she is a darling...and i hope time flies fast..and i get my flat so that my darling ger can reunite and live with us again :)

P.S: Will be visiting bobby tmr..shall update more..

Unlucky number 00229

Got our flat ballot number... unlucky number 00229 out of 164 units..sooo we have to wait to get the leftover unchoosen flats..hopefully there are leftover flats for us to choose from...

I called the HDB hotline and keyed in bf's NRIC number...and then it announced "Your ballot number is 0-0-2-2-9" When i first heard 0-0.. i thought "WOW! my ballot number must be good!" because i tot there should be 4-digits because about 1700 pple balloted in all...so when i heard 0-0, i tot my number should be lesser than hundred..then after 0-0, i heard 2....2...In my mind i was thinking "Rayne Gan, you are soooooooo damn lucky to get ballot number 22..which means i have the privilege to choose among the 164 units" BUT I WAS SO WRONG..after the 0-0-2-2..came another number 9..and i froze and was so pissed....ahhh i got 00229..why cant they just keep it to 4 digits..and why must the IVR announce the numbers so slowly...they made me happy for that split second and then my hope shattered upon hearding that number 9..arrrgggghhh..


So now i have to pray and pray that there will be leftover flats for me to choose from..would prefer units that are 5th floor and above...though chances are not high...but i am still hoping...soo by end Janaury...i wll know my fate...if i receive the invitation from HDB to select...i will be damn freaking happy....

Bad news come one after another...

Got a sms from Jingjing - the rescuer of mary & cherry. She mentioned that she was told by one of the auntie that a neighbour had made complain to AVA about the place where mary & cherry are boarding is very dirty and smelly and the neighbour is going to get AVA to get them...

The siblings are residing at a old private house which was rented by an auntie who house her rescued cats there...in order to keep the siblings there, jingjing has been forking out money to board the 2 siblings there all these while..though the 2 siblings are staying in the yard full of weeds (but of course with shelter)..but that is also the place that the siblings are contented to live in (despite the environment), a place that gave them assurance and safety. Jingjing and partner always make the effort to go and visit the siblings during the weekend, to clean up the area and bathe the 2 siblings..i tink this is the best they can do out of the busy schedule..

Usually on weekdays, the auntie who rent the unit will feed the siblings at night (because she herself has her own daytime job and she is not staying there, but just renting the place to house her rescue cats)..however i tink she does not have the time to clean up the place and all the pee n poo from the siblings, thus leading to the place being very smelly and resulting in neighbour's complain..

Now, with the neighbour threats the siblings' lives are in danger..firstly they are not licensed..secondly there is no one stayin at the plce, only with nightly visit by the auntie to feed them n her cats, so AVA can cum catch them anytime without our knowledge..lastly the neighbour is serious about getting AVA and we need to vacate them soon, but with our limited budget, we are unable to find a suitable place to house the siblings..

Have tried rehoming them but to no avail. Now, we are seeking for help to foster, adopter or suggestion of cheap alternative boarding to house the 2 lovely siblings...before AVA comes and get them..just when the siblings are settling down at the place they call home, things like this have to happen...

These 2 siblings are really very sweet gers...good with animals, good with human and kids too..they are such lovely gers and definately sweet in tempermant...they have come a long way from being found thin to their bones and now they have made tremendous improvement and gained weight through the care of jingjing..just when things seemed to have improved, bad things have to happen..

Now, we sincerely seek for genuine folks to help in anyway to can for these 2 siblings that have gone through so much in their lives..they really deserves to be loved...

For more information, you may refer to my blog, labelled - Mary & Cherry

Latest pictures of them, see they look so happy and contented with life

You can see the difference from when they were found and now. They have improved tremendously

Day 12 - 22 without you by my side...

Was busy & lazy the whole of last week to blog...visited gerger last thursday and yesterday...wanted to bring her back but didn't..in fact i brought her to a nearby multi-storey carpark and unleashed her to run..the top floor of the multi-story carpark was open air and no cars...gerger sprint here and there exploring and looking ard...me too ran with her and then brought her to walk ard the teban gardens estate....it was fun just 2 of us hanging out :)

We spent 1.5hrs walking ard and playing at the multi storey carpark (that will be our new secret hangout place)...Gerger has more of less settled down...eating and putting back the weight she first lost when she started boarding...she's becuming the fat gerger i used to know...she gets along very well with the petshop dogs now and even the staff at noo age (that's very rare..she will usually growl at strangers)..can see that she's getting better when meeting new strangers..there was once she jumped onto a customers leg and insist that he sayang her :S

My dear ger has really grown and starting to learn things the right way...she has learnt that not everyone are the bad pple she met before i found her...she has learnt to treat pple & dogs better since they mean no harm to her...she has learnt to stick close to my side (even without leash. but i dun usually off leash her even though i know she wont run away and will stick close to me, cause she is not really a small dog and usually pple tend to be more afraid and esp since she is black & tan..which makes pple think that she is fierce :S )

But she is really gd at recalling...once she hear me calling her name or making those erhmp noise..she will recall and walk beside me...even when she walk in front of me..she dare not leave me more than 2 metre away and will constantly turn back to make sure i am ard...who says mongrels are not easy to train? See my ger has improved and learnt so much with the care from the right pple...

However, just one thing she hasnt really learnt yet...she still whines loudly and scratch the window very frantically whenever i leave the puppy room..she will go mad..i tink that's seperation anxiety..but i know she will overcome it soon...now she whines lesser and stops scratching once the noo age folks told her no...am pretty surprised that she listens to them :)

Back at home..brought pirate for a jog in the evening...one thing good about him is that he is able to jog at ur pace and follow you..but he gets distracted easily and behaves very unfriendly to other dogs..even those that didn't even provoke him...so usually i will try to bring him on a long walk along the canal or jog during times when there's not much pple (very late at night)...but i am sure he enjoyed yesterday's jog..coz he was sleeping so soundly yesterday night with a smile :)

I still miss the sight of gerger at home..and hope the day i get my flat will come soon...

P.S: took a short clip of gerger running and exploring the multi-storey carpark on my mobile phone..will go figure out how to transfer it into my laptop, so that i can upload it here....

Day 9,10 & 11 without you by my side...

Went to visit you yesterday..i tink you could sense i was there...you were sleeping in the puppy room and the moment i walked near the room you woke up and your big round eyes were staring into me :) As usual you jumped up & down and it seems like you can tear down the dog anytime hehe...

you seemed to have grown slimmer since you stayed there? are you still not adjusting well? you used to be plump & chubby but now you are slimmer? I was abit concerned and checked with uncle soon if she has been eating her food? Uncle Soon says that she does but to me she seems to have no interest in her food...she was nv a fussy eater and would always jump at the sight of food..even when its dry kibbles she would eat it down in less than 15 mins and usually after that she would eat up pirate's share of food if pirate had eaten enough..but seems to me now that she is not interested in her food at all..she took a bite of her food and walked away...and refuse to touch it even when i fed her...something is wrong..is she still homesick? does she not like the new dry food? or is she not feeling well? her appetite for food now is total 180 degrees change from last time..im getting increasingly worried..

Uncle soon told me usually she will eat finish her food and eats it fast..if she doesnt finish her food, uncle soon would leave it in her sleeping area for her to..i told him to monitor..if she continues to be not eating, i would have to bring her to the vet...but she is still the full of energy, bubbly gerger that i noe..

we brought her for a walk and uncle soon told me now in the daytime he will let gerger out and roam ard the petshop with their 2 in-house dogs..he says she doesnt bite the stuff nor disturb the dogs..overall she is behaving better than before...

Soon it was time to leave..you sensed it didnt u? you block the door and refuse to let us leave..and started to whine & jump crazily when we left the main door of the shop...gerger ah...you should be coping better..you have been there for a week n a half but seems like you are still not adjusting well..i hope you can adjust well soon and dun make me feel sad everytime i leave...and i hope you be happy too my darling...be the happy ger i know....eat more k..i love the chubby old you :)

Too many dogs up for adoption...if your heart has a space for another dog..do consider them...

Recently have seen too much dogs up for adoption..esp mongrels...my favourite dog... :(

If your family or yourself is ready for a dog or planning on getting another dog...do give these sweet mongrels a chance to exprience love again..though they are not purebreed but they are unique in their own way :)

I myself have 2 mongrels of my own and they make excellent companion...most importantly they made me learn to appreciate that things / pple / even pets shld not be judged by appearances..cause appearances don't last...give ur chance & themselves chance to learn & grow together...and you will grow to appreicate them beyond appearances...

what i really love about mongrels are that they each have unique character of their own and very special in their own way...most importantly they are very loyal dogs that would always place their owner's interest more important then theirs...and believe me - they go all out to protect you...be by your side when you are down..no matter what happens....

Some dogs that are up for adoption:

Toto
Niki
Brownie
Scooter
Zorro
More puppies
Lucky
Mary & Cherry

Should you need help contacting the parties who are putting the dogs up for adoption, feel free to contact me.

I left you two to play for 3-4hrs..then bathe and fed you..soon it was time to send you back to noo age..i expected you to be reluctant to leave but you were wagging your tail and happily hopped onto the car..but your brother pirate wasnt taking it too well and he winning and cried non stop till we left....

Day 2 without you by my side...

Visited gerger straight after work..when i reached noo age..she was in the puppy room and when she saw me..she was wagging her tail so vigourously and soo happy to see me...and so was i too..the moment i went into the puppy room..she jumped on me and licked my face non-stop...she was whinning throughout as if telling me she wana go back home :(

I brought her down for a walk and uncle soon told me she didnt eat her food...i was kinda worried coz she is a glutton and nv a fussy eater and would eat anything..but today..she wasnt eating...haizz..i tink she is not happy about me leaving her there and sorta missed home..uncle soon and myself tried to coax her to eat but she refused to...uncle soon took some of his own treats and fed her and even tried to spoon feed her..she ate abit and then left the food untouched again..i really hope she will settle down soon n start eating again..really sad to see her like tat...

but surprisingly..she let uncle soon touched her..sayang her n she even licked him...was glad that at least she trust him :) but she growled at the groomer and others when they wanted to pat her...i tink needa give her sometime to build the trust...she will eventually..i hope...she just need more time..

i spent an hr and half there just stroking her...when i was about to leave...gerger started whinning, crying and frantically scratching the door again...once again i felt as if my heart as been stabbed...it really hurts me alot to see her like let...but i had to leave noo age soon becoz i dun wan her to be too attached me..i hope for her to learn to be independent and be aware that i am definately not abandoning her...moreover..that will be her temporary home for the next yr or so..so i really wish and hope she will adjust well..really wana thank uncle soon for taking care of gerger and enabling me to trust him to take good care of gerger...

my dear ger should be sleeping by now..i hope..hope she has a good night sleep without missing me as much as i miss her..my lovely gal..do be a good gal and eat well..be happy..coz that's all that i hope for her now..i will be contented...really...

Pirate hasnt been eating much today too..when i got home..i spent an hour coaxing him to eat..i tink he kinda realise gerger is not with him to play and steal his food..i have a feeling he is starting to miss his irritating little sis...

i hope the weekdays pass by quickly and i can bring gerger home on sat..to let the 2 good pals meet up and play and rekindle to good old memories that they had...i hope it will make gerger at eased and resume her happy self again :)

Day 1 without you by my side...

Today was a tough day, both for myself & gerger..i decided to let her board at noo age for 2 weeks trial and afterwhich decide from there...

Time seems to fly pass quickly..it was time for me to bring her to noo age..we reached there ard 4pm...on the car ride she was whining non-stop...pretty unusual for her and she sticked very closely to me...i tink she sensed where she was going...

Upon reaching noo age...she was abit scared..but settled in ok and was greeted by noo age owner's 2 dog..she was wagging her tail n exploring the place...i thought to myself...phew...seems like she will be fine n cope well..

i borught along all her belongings...dog food, her bowl, my t-shirt, her towel, her toys and her favourite milk bone and left all the belongings into her sleep area (which there is a gate to close up at night when the shop closes)..the uncle (owner of noo age) assured me she would be fine...we slowly led her to her sleeping area and closed the gate..she started whinning and seems to me like she was crying...she was frantically scratching the gate...my heart sank and was totally heartbroken when i saw her whinning and scratching the gate..i tried to hold back my tears but it tears just rolled down my cheeks...it was hard to see her so sad..i started to sobbed abit (trying my best to hide my face from the owner of noo age and my bf)..i stroke her head and assured her that im not abandoning her there..it would be temporary..really...i will definately bring her back with my when i have a place of my own...

suddenly the trees are no longer green and the sky seems to be gloomy to me..nothing seems to pleased me anymore..i just wish to have her by my side..i left noo age and took one last glimpse at gerger..she was whinning still..it took me alot of courage to leave noo age..but with tears in my eyes...i hate myself for having to let her suffer...she hasnt left my side these 1.5yrs since i found her and brought her back home..tonight will be the first night she is not by my side...

i went home feeling devasted..upon reaching home i saw pirate..but there was no gerger jumping at the gate to greet me..no more gerger's belonging at home...no more gerger to sit by my side and begging me to stroke her..she never have enough of me storking her..once i stop stroking her..she will poke her nose on my hand to ask me to not stop stroking her...i really miss her...i really hope she is coping fine...pirate seems to be coping better than me..life seems to be normal for him..does he realised his little sis n playmate will not be with as for the time being? Thankfully he is not too much affected..but once in awhile he will look ard as if to find his little sis - gerger...

At ard 7pm..i just couldn't take it and phoned noo age..the uncle told me he brought her for her walk and she has stopped whinning..at least a relived for me that gerger should be ok by now..it will probably take her a few more days to get over and she will be her bubbly self again..but for me..it will take a long time...i planned to visit her after work tomorrow..and i really cant wait for time to fly pass now...it's be an emotional ride for me..but i noe it's even tougher for gerger..i had to acted like im fine with my frens..it really hard..

i planned to bring her back during the weekend to play wiht pirate..at least that assured her that i am not abandoning her...i hope she knows its a tough deision for me..and i hope she knows i am doing it out of no choice..i hope she is sleeping soundly now..i miss u my darling ger..will see you tmr...

Always look on the bright side of life....

Though the thought of sending gerger away hurts alot..but i know this will be temporary and eventually she will come home with me when i have my own place...have been busy sourcing boarding...have shortlisted 2 now...1 is a home boarder at CCK and another is a petshop at west side...all are located near enough for me to visit...will be going down on thursday evening to racky the 2 shortlisted boarders....hopefully will be able to find a suitable one and if found..gerger will be board there starting this weekend...

I am actually very strict when choosing boarder (i prefer home boarding rather than kennel boarding as kennel boarding can really be very stressful for dogs esp since they are always in the kennels)and even stricter now since ger ger will be board there long term..i would rather scrimp and save, to fork out more money (not that I am rich) to ensure that my dogs are well taken care of, treated well and most importantly find a sutiable boarder that is able to handle my dog well and be patient (because my dogs are not the best or obedient dogs in the world)..

Am starting both pirate and gerger on bach flower remedies..to prepare them (coz both of them are quite close)..esp since they will be apart...pirate will continue to stay with us (i hope he behaves himself, if not he will have to end up staying with gerger at the boarding)...actually i am more worried for gerger..i hope she wont be affected by the move and will cope fine - she is quite attached to me :( But i know she will be well taken care of during her stay and i will definately vist her often..

Just when i tot my whole world has fallen apart because of this incident...its then i realised my situation is not that bad afterall...at least gerger is lucky enough to have a place to board and be taken care of..unlike strays on the streets whose plight is even worse :(. When I saw the post..i tot to myself..dun be sad...my situation is really not the worst...stay strong because there are more out there that are facing even tougher situations...

Looking for pple to share and rent a row of kennels...

After searching and checking with the boarding places that I know..am still unable to find boarding to take in my 2 darlings....

Today, Jing mentioned that there is a row of kennel for rent (total of 18 kennels). We are thinking of renting the kennels but we do not need so many kennel for our dogs. Thus, we are looking for pple out there who are thinking of boarding their dogs to share the cost...

At least at the kennel, I know i can visit them as and when i like and take care of them to ensure that they are fine and well taken care of...all i am asking is for them to be healthy and happy...i know staying at the kennel is nothing compared to home..but now that they are being chased out and not given any other choices..i only hope to give them the best i can at any cost within my means....

I really hope pirate and gerger understand what im goin through now and knows that everything i do i put them in mind...

Anyone who is keen to share the kennels with us, please contact me @ 90600810 Rayne. Thanks!

What I feared most came true....

Was given final warning to get gerger out of the house...the pressure and all is just driving me crazy..please tell me how do you have the heart to let your dog go after spending close to 2 yrs together? Part of me died when I was told to get ger ger out of the house....Was devasted when i heard the news...somemore i was sick at that point of time...making it worse...

Gerger is very attached to me...putting her at the boarding kennel would only mean i can see her over the weekends...how is she able to cope it? I cant imagine the sight of her all lonely in the kennel throughout the weekdays..its will be really a sad sight...

Since they are so unwelcome..i have made the decision to put both pirate n gerger at the boarding kennel..pirate and gerger are very attached to each other..i cant bear to seperate them too...at least they will have each other's company at the kennel so that they wont feel lonely...it's gona be tough on my wallet...but this is the best i can do..i will nv give them away no matter wat happens..and i cant bear to give them away too...no one will be able to understand how important they are to me...no matter how tough the road ahead will be..i am standing firm to keeping them..

I hope they understand that I am not abandoning them at the kennel..i am doing all these for their good..just bear with it for a yr and half..once we get a new flat...you 2 my darlings will be able to stay with me..giving others no chance to kick u out of the house ever again..

1 yr will be over very soon..i promise to visit u my darlings over the weekends...

P.S: If anyone could recommend a reliable home boarder whom i can entrust my get ger with...preferably at the west..would be great..kindly help ask around.. Thanks!

Bad things always happen...

Precaution has been taken to ensure that Pirate & GerGer will not run out of the house or out of their enclosed area..but things just dun always turn out the way you wanted...

GerGer run out of her enclosed area when someone open the gate to her area accidently and let her slip out. Gerger then dashed out to find her biggest enemy - the sister within her sight. She then ran up to her and bit her....haiz..thankfully the bite was not too serious but still someone was bitten..i really cannot imagine what's the outcome of GerGer's fate, now that she has bitten somone...

I dreaded to go back...to face the music and most likely words of sending her away will come out from the parents' mouth..In no mood to work now..i just hope today can get over quickly and both pirate's and gerger's fate will remain well...

And i pray that no such accidents will happen ever again...

Yesterday....

I had a splendid time yesterday...Went to visit bobby and together with his owners we went to Pasir Ris Petsmover dogrun....Naughty bobby was in the mood to hump all the dogs he met there and his poor owner had to keep an eye on him in case he hurt other dogs while he decided to hump them...

Can tell that they really do love bobby alot and bobby is happy being with them too :) It took him a few seconds to remember me when i went to pick them up yesterday...i called his name..he stood there looking surprised...stared at me..and then realised that I am calling him and then run happily torwards me and jumping and scratching me to show his joy :) Really miss him alot..but I am glad he's happy now...

His owners even went to Petsmover to buy him a nice and comfy bed and alot of treats...bobby boy is really being loved....

After my brief & very enjoyable 2 hr outing with bobby n his owners..i head on down to visit buddy...he's doing great too....heard he's really good with their small kids and gentle too...their kids enjoy playing with him too and they are not afraid of him despite his BIG size...he's just a gentle giant...a big baby :)...his owner has nothing but good praises for Buddy..HAPPY!

I feel so blessed to see both my rehomed dogs being in such lovely home...being loved by their owners and most importantly from the looks in Bobby's & Buddy's face...Im very sure they are very contented with the life they are living now :) And most importantly I can confirm that they are very loyal too...because despite me not visting them that frequently...they still rem me...they still shower me with licks and vigourous tail wags...the happiness of seeing them so happy is really irreplacable....

P.S: Was rushing out to visit them that i forgot to bring my camera..will get the photos from their owners and post it up soon :)

Lucky has been found...

After 2 days of early morning till midnight searches..we finally found lucky...we actually caught him twice but let him slip off..he is really traumatized and really good at struggling away...the final time AY's fren managed to get hold of him and this time...he is finally safe....

Lucky used to be a temple dog at Ang Mo Kio since he was a puppy...suddenly temple just say they dun wan him and one day after AY left the temple after feeding lucky...i tink they got someone to send lucky far far away...but temple pple assured AY that they wont abandoned him..human's life can be really evil...they didnt preach what they say and lucky was found abandoned at pasir ris..he was so helpless and was hanging out at the interchange which is such a crowded place...SPCA actually went down to get him but failed too..phew..we only managed to noe that lucky was at pasir ris when someone staying there post a FOUND notice on doggiesite..

Thanks goodness for the post. If not we won't have know lucky was there and we might have just believed the temple pple that lucky was really at a gd place....bunch of sick pple...really..

well..now lucky is at a boarding place...still traumatized..but im sure he will get over it soon and knows he is really safe now..lucky boy...u are really a lucky boy to have met AY :)

Lucky is a young chap..only about 1 yr plus....very beautiful red/brown & black long coat..he is abit wary of pple after all that he had gone through..give him some time and he will be a happy & start to trsut you again....

Here's how his story started (Posted by AY on the forum)

"Lucky had gone missing on Saturday...

Been looking for him at 8pm plus but can't find him...was told by a lady that he was sent away...brought back by the person who brought him there...It's so sudden cos it happened immediately after I left the temple.
The temple having a big celebration so I can't find out much at this point of time.

Had checked with AVA and SPCA that he's not there. Phew!

If really there's this person who brought him back, then is good but Im not sure how true...Hope they have not sent him away to farms or far far away to join the strays...He actually have a potential adopter but is sad that this pple can't wait cos they said he try to snap lately...

Kindly inform me if anyone spotted him while feeding the strays or in the farms, factories...I am very sad and worried for him Thanks in advance.

I spent the afternoon in the neighbourhood talking to people who loves him and frequent the temple. All told me the same thing, that Lucky was brought back by the uncle who brought him there. He's brought there cos that time the temple's dog Ah Boy was lost and they cannot find him...Only lately his temperment change...They worried that he might snap at children and get culled cos the celebration will last till Friday.

They assured me he's in safe hands and back to his 'family'. Not 'released' to anywhere. I will try to get the contact and see if I can 'visit' him after the celebration. Now they dun have time to entertain me and will find me irritating...

Will let this matter rest for now. Thanks all for your concern."

Then someone spotted him at Pasir Ris interchange

"Saw this male dog around Pasir Ris Interchange.

Heard it's a stray (not sure how true it is) & used to have a feeder but he disappeared suddenly. Now the dog has been roaming around that area for the past week or so, as mentioned by some of the stall people & bus drivers.

The dog has a collar on & has a fantastic temperament, albeit wary of strangers. He knows the command "shake hand".

It ran away the moment SPCA came. I tried searching for it but to no avail but I'm pretty sure he will appear at that area again.

Will anyone be keen in fostering or adopting him?

i'm unable to do so as I'm staying in HDB and already have 2 dogs"


Look how sad he is when he was spotted by someone at the interchange...

He will be up for adoption soon...anyone keen to adopt may call me @ 90600810 or AY @96890777

Updates on Bobby...

As of date Bobby has been at his new home for 5 days...During the owner's off day, she walked bobby to east coast park to enjoy the breeze..I am sure they had a great time :)

M says that he is coping well. Being a very happy boy both M & D adores him...am really glad to hear that...

Here's one of the message from her:
" Hello! yes, it was a long way, but he managed it better than i did. Bobby was eating straight away and has already claimed our new rug as his own. He's sleeping on it now. All is well. Hope you are ok and maybe see you soon x "

Though I have a very strong urge to go visit him, but i try to hold back. Because I really want Bobby to really settle in well at his new home before I visit him..so probably I will visit him in Oct...cant wait to see him :)

Here's some pictures which M took of Bobby during their walk to East Coast on her off day...

Bobby's Day...

Yesterday was the day bobby went to his new home...however before we could send him to his new home in the evening, he decided to give us a memorable scare of our lives in the afternoon.

Received a phone call from foster in the afternoon that he ran out of the house..and the more the foster call for him the further he runs...he almost landed up on the expressway...i quickly wanted to drive to the foster hm but luckily foster managed to get hold of him while he was busy doing his poo-ing...phew...he really scared the hell out of me n foster..somemore it was just a few hours more before i send him to his new home...seems like he knows that he is going to a new home and decided to play a trick on us...

Luckily foster managed to get hold of him after a few minutes of stalking him and jumping to catch him while he was clearing his bowels....phew a sign of relief....

Later in the evening, I brought him to his new owners' place and as expected he was quite nervous and wary since its yet another new environment for him..I do hope he will adapt quickly to his new owners and home and live happily :)

Initally, i told the new owners M & D no adoption fees required as all I asked for is for them to love him unconditionally and take gd care of him..however yesterday when i brought him over..they insist on giving me a box of chocolates and an amt of money as adoption fees..I am really touched by their kind gesture...

I decided to stay at their place for a short while and left, wanting to give them more time to bond..i saw from bobby's eyes that he felt sad that i was leaving..i tried to hold back my tears and forced myself to leave as quickly as possible and not even turning back to see bobby...it was tough but everything i done was for his own gd..I hope he will do fine and will visit him in probably a few weeks time..as I want to give him time to settle down and just make sure everything is fine..

As of yesterday, bobby has offically became someone's dog. No longer a dog without an owner..I am glad he has found a lovely home and now this beautiful chapter of his life has just began and many more great years for him ahead...Bobby boy take gd care and I will see you soon..love you bobby boy :)

P.S: I would oso like to thank the foster C & her husband A for taking such great care of Bobby during his 3 months stay with them..they accepted bobby into their homes with an open heart n took great care of him..without them bobby wouldnt be where he is now..u guys make it happen :) Thank you!

A sweet story....

Happened to browse this from another's blog and thought it's a meaningful & sweet story to share :)

A Dog's Purpose
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, andthey were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.

He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good Life like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.


Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and 'wag' your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!!

Some updates....

Havent been updating this blog recently cause I am a little lazy..hehe

4 more days and bobby will be going to his new home :) Visited him last weekend and went to petsmover but didn't really take photo as the weather wasn't gd....For all that are concern about bobby..he's doing really great and as lovable as ever :)

Btw, Mary & Cherry have shifted to a new boarding home yesterday, where they get to run ard the yard freely..this boarding is so much better than the small kennels that they were staying at, where they have no room to move ard & no freedom at all...that place is really not a place for dogs to stay..it's really not well kept at all and the place stinks badly and i belive the dogs living there have nv stepped out of their small kennels at all...

My heart really goes out to them. It is really a pity that the dogs have to live life that way :(..its heartbreaking to see them live each day like no different from any other days. Its as if they are living for death - just living in this world and waiting for the day to leave this world..To see them live a meaningless life, i sometimes think that maybe to let them run free in the wild would be better. To lock them up in the kennels everyday w/o walks or play or anyone to love them, is as gd as sentencing them to death sentence. Just that this death sentence slowly torture them with boredom and eventually they leave this world quietly w/o anyone bothering about it :(

After bobby's adopted, I hope to dedicate some of my time for these dogs in the shelter :)

My pirate boy & gerger are doing great too..they always make my day whenever I am down. I cannot imagine my life without these 2 rascals :)

The Special Day for Bobby - 12 September 2008

This will be the day that Bobby will start his new life with M&D. We have confirmed this date to be suitable, since M&D will be back from their trip that week and D will be off on the weekends and M off on Monday & Tuesday..they both felt that they need to spend more time with him since Bobby will be at a new environment..they are really thoughtful pple..

Have been in touch with M over emails on the items to get for bobby for his arrival..and through the email correspond I am sure Bobby have found great owners that will dote on him :)

Bobby Boy - I hope you be happy with this arrangement. I am sure you will! Things might be confusing for intial start but I am sure you will do just fine and adjust to your new home..I hope you will enjoy your life from then onwards, be loved, be cared for and most importantly be the happy Bobby that I knew from the start...I have enjoyed myself for the past 2 months hanging out with you and I must say you have been the cutest and good boy I have met so far...you have touched my life and will continue to do so..I will definately visit you and bring you out often...Love you my dearest Bobby Boy :)

Monday, August 25, 2008

Bobby's starting his new life soon...

It's been a quiet week.."thanks" to the wet weather, I wasnt able to bring bobby out on the weekends...anyway would like to thank all of you for the well wishes and concern..we are preparing for bobby's move into his new home and his adopters are really excited about him going over and they too are preparing all the necessary stuffs for him when he shifts over on the 2nd week of september :)

Many were asking what if Bobby's adopter decided to go back UK for good then what will happen to him? Don't worry, I have actually checked this with his adopters and they would be more than glad to bring him back along with them..they treat him like part of their family..and i believe they will do their best to keep him by their side...

All is going well..am trying to spend more time with bobby before he goes to his new home :)

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

I think Bobby has found that special someone....

Yes, yesterday the viewing turned out really better than I had expected...both of them M & D were really happy with Bobby and we even brought him out for a walk.. or should i say Bobby brought us out for a walk..because halfway through we almost lost our way...

I feel that both M & D are genuine adopters and they will definately provide Bobby with a great home...and I am sure Bobby will have a great life ahead with both of them :)

Bobby will still be at the foster home till M & D come back from their holidays which will be anytime on the week of 8 sept 2008. That will be the day Bobby can have a home that belongs to him :) Someone to love him for the rest of his life...

I feel blessed to be given the chance and to have met bobby (he has a very special place in my heart even though he is going to a new home soon) and even happier to know that he will have a home sweet home very soon - a place where he will live the rest of his life in, a place where he will exprience love & happiness, a place where he will learn n grow and forget all the unhappy past that had happened to him...This is the day all of us including bobby have been waiting for...I hope that when he goes over to his new home i will still have the chance to bring him out once in a while...

What worries me now would be Bobby's first few days at his new home..He will definately be a little wary and scared..and of course i forsee that he will refuse to eat for a few days..but i m sure he will get over it very soon..i hope :)

I am gona miss every bit of bobby...but i know he will be happy..and i will still have the chance to visit him too :)

Btw, I will still continue to update about bobby even after he goes to his new home :)

Lost Brown Mongrel at Holland Close / Village <>

Received an email from Noah's Ark about a missing mongrel, so thought can help to pass the word around.

Photobucket

Mongrel / Local Cross Breed
Gender: Female (sterilized)
Microchip No : **********05345
Name: Louis (She is extremely friendly and likes humans)
Last seen: On the evening of August 17, 2008 around Holland Road / Holland Village.
Contact: Lynda 91996247 or Fiona 98391308


Side Note: Tonight the couple will be coming to view Bobby. Am getting so excited for Bobby. Cant describe the feeling. The feeling is just like getting so excited when i went on the very first date in my life(which happened years ago during my teenage years), an excited feeling where you are not sure whether the date will go on fine? Whether the guy you are dating will enjoy the date?

For this case, its a happy feeling to know that someone out there is willing to give bobby a chance by coming to see him (just like the feeling of being dated out by guy u had a crush on)..many questions in my mind. Whether the viewing will go fine? (Whether the date will go on fine?) Whether bobby will behave himself? (Whether i will look ok when i go on the date?) Whether the potential adopters will take a liking for Bobby? (Whether my crush will take a liking for me?) So many questions in my mind now, with the hope that bobby will find a great home (With the hope of being accepted by the guy and to date again)....

Updates about the weekends....

As planned...I had a great rest this weekend...Sat was spent with my 2 furkids...just hanging ard playing and had a long long walk too...yesterday brought bobby to M&M for a short half an hr swim at the pool...I think he's kinda hates the pool so I had to drag him into the pool and ended getting myself all wet... :S Bobby looks kinda cute when he swim...he tries to swim very very fast in hope that he can quickly get out of the pool...he would much prefer to hang ard with dogs at M&M I think....

After the swimming session, brought him over to petsmover to buy some dog stuffs and also let bobby run about at the dog run...we spent about an hr there...coz it was gona rain so had to cut short the outing....but i am sure he enjoyed himself swimming....

Side Note: I think the whole Singapore would have known by now that Singapore has won a silver medal in the olympics after 48 yrs of wait...I managed to watch the match and i must say they put on a gd fight but just that china is a stronger team...nonetheless i am proud that at least they made it to the top three. 3 Cheers for them :)

The Bf is almost done with reservist...so as of yesterday we had an official return-of-car-key ceremony..just kidding...i meant that i returned his car back to him and now i am back to squeezing like sardines on the MRT to and fro from work...at least i had the privilege to drive the car the whole of last week while he is at reservist...it was quite fun and of coz it saves alot of time & is convenient. But it eventually made be become a lazy woman the whole of last week....i drove the car even whem i was going sumwhere like 5-10mins walk away :)..well i guess that's a new driver's behaviour - to drive as and when possible even when it's within walking distance..Bye Suzuki sx4...im gona miss drivin u :)

Updates on Bobby & plans....

Well weekend is drawing near...many things to do...

Sat - Will be pirate's & ger ger's day. Also a day that they hate...coz they know that I will be bathing them every sat..hehe..they hate water to the core..when they noe it's time to bathe, they will run away and I would have to drag them to the waterpipe to bathe..Bathing them is as good as bathing myself..I am totally drenched after bathing them...

Also, I haven had the chance to really spend time with them recently, due to work and bobby. Kinda feeling bad about it. So I shall declare Saturday - My furkid's day :)

Sunday - Will be bringing bobby out and meet a fren (with her golden). Let them play and interact. Am also thinking of bring him for swim..he kinda enjoy taking dips in the water and swimming. Afterwhich, if there's time may bring bobby to the west to visit the uncle who is missing bobby so much :) Also, there will be another potential adopter coming to visit bobby...

Tuesday - A cuple from UK is keen to adopt bobby, and we will be meeting at foster place at night for them to see bobby. Hopefully things will turn out well..

I hope i can see bobby go to a new home soon.. Not that it's a hassle taking care of him or netiher am i lazy to bring him out..but i would love to see him live in a home of his own..to have a family that loves him and give him the 100% love n care that he deserves :) Wish Bobby luck!

Bobby and his viewing...

Yesterday one of a forum fren & her fren came down to bobby's foster home to see him...her fren wanted to adopt a dog to accompany his dad..luckily bobby boy behaved himself well...he would definately be a great companion for the elderly....bobby is one independent boy..he can be home alone - just give him his toys (he super love to play with his squeeky toys and soft toys, he loves to play fetch with anyone) & a knotted bone...he will be contented...he can play with the toy n chew on the bone the whole day through....

He is also gd on leash (though his recall skill is not gd) but at least he does great on leash...he waits for you to move before he does...he doesn't tug on leash...he will make an ideal companion for human being...he actually much prefer human companion...

He may be 3-4yrs old but he is a little puppy at heart...he is contented with every / anything..he doesnt ask for much but just a home with a great owner to love him...

We shall wait and see if the potential adopter is keen to take him in :) keeping my fingers crossed....

A side note:
I drove my bf's car all the way from Jurong to Bedok and back to Jurong yesterday...it's my first time driving alone and on such a long journey driving along the busy expressway..it's kinda scary but yet exciting...thank goodness I made me way home safely...but i do have a problem with parking because all my parking were done with poles when i was learning...now that there's no longer poles available for parking..i always pray that i will find empty parking lots (at least 2-3 slots with no car), then i park at least hehe....

Busy at work...

It has been a busy week at work...very draining...thus didn't have the chance to update the blog...

Some updates on Bobby:
He is as usual the happy Bobby happily hopping ard at the foster home :) Have a potential adopter interested to see him coming Monday evening. Hope all goes well for him...I really have no idea where to house him if no one adopts him :( I really hope he can find a gd home soon..

Updates on Mary & Cherry
Both still at the keneel. Rescuer contemplating to switch them to a better kennel where they would have better care and more room to roam. With the tight budget we have now Mary & Cherry has no choice but to stay at the current kennel. Seriously the cleanliness and care in the current kennel is really not ideal. The space they have is really very limited and with us working they wont be able to get their walk everyday too..It's sad to see them at the current kennel now...Hope rescuer will be able to find a better kennel soon...

Since I gotten my license on Monday, I haven't had the chance to drive yet. Hopeing that my bf will be able to book out from reservist today so that i can drive his car :) I am sure going to be nervous but yet excited :)

I hope everyone will have a great weekend, including myself... Have yet to plan where to bring bobby to this weekend..Have ran out of ideas already..Any suggestions are welcome :)

I simply love this quote...it's meaningful...

A dog is your friend, your partner, your defender.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion...

Yes I did it!

Yes, I managed to pass my driving test but not with flying colours though. But at least I passed with a "HIGH" score of 18 :). So I am a qualified driver as of yesterday and I am ready to be on the road..Becareful all drivers out there Hahaha..

So here's a summary of how I chalked up a total of 18 points:
4pts: Change Lane Abruptly
8 pts: Not enough side clearance given to other road users
2 pts: Sharp turn
4 pts: Fail to check blind spot

Seems like I am not such a dangerous driver right?

I had a warm up lesson with my instructor in the circuit just before my test. I was toally nervous and couldn't drive like i used to.. I couldn't turn properly, couldn't park properly and all. My instructor was scolding me and said that with this driving technique i sure can't pass my test later on..Upon hearing that, I totally lost my morale...

But thankfully, the tester was nice and he managed to calm me down and I drove as per normal and wan't nervous at all...Thank goodness for that...I got route 9 for my test which I didn't even know which route was tat as my instructor never told me about this..but i heard route 9 is a easy route for test..which turned out everything was completed smoothly...

Am glad i managed to pass my test on the first attempt. So means, next time i can drive ard and bring pirate & gerger out more often ON MY OWN :)

NDW 2008

Bobby went to the NDW today along with Bobby's foster and their 2 CHHs :) It was really warm and humid today and in the end we only managed to register for the dogwalk but ended up we didnt join in the walk but only hang ard at the dogrun area where they have some competition going on..

I am sure bobby boy enjoyed himself, esp since he had the opportunity to sniff all the doggies butts :) Sadly, we didnt win any prizes from the lucky draw but well that wasnt our main purpose of joining this dogwalk, but rather more for a gd cause as the donations will go to Noahs Ark aka NANAs.

Come to think of it, I brought buddy to NDW 2007 and soon after he got adopted. And now, NDW 2008, I brought along Bobby. Will bobby have the same luck as buddy boy too? I wish, i pray and i hope he will have such gd luck too :)

Some friends where jokingly saying that all my rescued dogs looks the same, last year NDW was buddy, this year is bobby, what about next yr? Another buddy & bobby look alike dog too? I really hope not, i hope that i will be able to bring my pirate and gerger next yr (havent had the chance to bring them to such events)

Some pictures of bobby at the NDW 2008. Anyway, he is still up for adoption..Upzz...
