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."

Picture of him at the temple...




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

Seriously in need of an urgent help to find abandoned mongrel...

This is what happened to the dog...sad story :(

Then someone spotted him

I went down with alycia & a few others to search today but lost him...we seriously need your help in finding lucky..anyone staying that area can help in the search will be great..if not pls keep a lookout and call alycia if u see him..

we spent the whole morning till night looking today but not able to find him as he might be hiding...anyone that can help please call alycia @ 96890777

Nothing much to blog about these few days...

Have nothing much to blog about these few days....

Will be visiting Buddy & Bobby probably next week during the Hari Raya Puasa PH.. Will update more pictures of them then.....

Pirate & Gerger both doing fine....wanted to take some nice pictures of them to blog about...but they are just camera shy...esp GerGer...

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...












P.S: I simply love this photo. The sky looks beautiful and bobby boy looks so happy smiling and busking under the sun..it reminds me that actually life can be simple and yet meaningful & beautiful..be contented with what you have :) This photo is really a treasure to keep...

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 :)
