Things are slowly getting better....

Hang in there pixie and family...be safe...be good...you will have shelter over your head very soon...you wont have to worry about not having enough to eat soon..u be protected from any harm too...just 4 more days and off pixie and family will be heading to a shelter...keeping my fingers crossed..

one thing at a time...now we have found a temporary holding place for pixie and family..planning to get hold of them and move them to the shelter this weekend...after they have settle down..pixie will be sent for sterilisation...afterwhich...will be the toughest part of work - finding a good home for mama pixie and pups..a family that will love them for who they are..appreciate and treasure them..stick with them through thick and thin..love and take good care of them till their very last breathe...sounds easy? Nah...rehoming is actually the toughest part of the work..

when you rehome dogs...you would naturally want the best for them...going through all form of communication to pass the word ard to get adopters..then you have to screen for adopters (even worse is when you have to worry when there are no adopters at all)...after rehoming..you have to ensure everything such as sterilisation, licensins etc. are all done..after they have gone to good home..you have to visit them once in a while to ensure that they are settling fine in their new home..at some point of time (which i dread the most) you will encounter cases where the dog is being returned to you due to adopter's many many excuses...i dread not because i have then got to rehome them again..i hate it when dogs are being returned and have to be rehomed again, because i hate to see them settling so well with their new home and then they have to start adapting to a new home again...this kind of emotional pain can be unbearable for them...

All the dogs which i rehomed, when returned to me, i would prefer to do the screening on my own..because i feel that even though they are not my dogs...but i am responsible for them as they are the dogs which i recused..my responsibility is still there...

thus this time round for bobby..i am still determine to find him a gd home that he deserves...i always believe every dog deserves a gd home...and i am sure there will be miracle..please help spread the word around for him and also pixie and family...the day bobby, pixie and pups go to a gd home (thats all i am asking for)...will be the day my mind can be at eased..and that's also when i can finally take a short holiday break (which i have been deprived off for many yrs)...i am starting to dream about it already :)
