XIao Bai, Hit & Run Victim Dog, for ADOPTION

Xiao Bai used to live outside of our housing area, together with her mother and sister. The mother used to be a guard dog at construction area, but when they got to know that she's pregnant, they dumped her.

One day, my neighbor alerted me about Xiao Bai. She was hit by a car. I found her lying on the street, and blood came out from her mouth. I thought she was about to die, and unlucky me, I had no transport that time to take her to the vet. So, I pleaded for help on MDDB page, and right after, my friend came to help me bring her to Animal Medical Center.

Here's video of her while waiting for the transportation. I don't understand why people could just let the dog dying on the street and they feel no guilt at all...

Poor Xiao Bai had to wait for few hours before we managed to take her to AMC.

Here's her video when she's starting to recovering after a week.

After few weeks, Vet finally gave her a clean bill, and we could bring her home. But, the problem is now, I couldn't put her back to the street. It's too dangerous for her, thus, she needs a forever home.

Anyone willing to adopt her, please feel free to drop a comment here or call 0122542460.

Here's the latest pictures of cutie Xiao Bai =)

Adopt a pet and save lives!

BEN

I can't tell you yet what happened, but I hope you could understand.

The feeling I have now, is so complicated.

It happened too fast, and it seems like a nightmare for me... for all of us.

I hope it's just a nightmare... I hope it would never happened....

"Ben you're always running here and there
  You feel you're not wanted anywhere
  If you ever look behind and don't like what you find
  There's something you should know you've got a place to go"

" Ben most people would turn you away
   I don't listen to a word they say
  They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to
   I'm sure they'd think again if they had a friend like Ben"

Rescuing 5 Puppies that Hiding Under a Stack of Concrete

Last night was one kind of a night. After heard from a guard that there are few puppies hiding under a stack of concrete, behind a management office of Aman Height's Condominium, we were planning to remove them, placed them inside a cage and asked the guard to temporary keep them until they are ready for adoption.

After work, my friends and I went to Klang to get a cage donated by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better, and reached the puppies' place at around 10pm. We never thought that trying to make the puppies go out from that small hole was a really tough thing to do.

here's the "hole" where they were staying, and we tried to catch them at the night, in the dark. 

 

 

 

With the help from the uncle guard, my FB Friend, Christine Fong and her husband, we managed to catch all 5 of them. Catching the mother dog was the easiest part because apparently we feed her every day, and we didn't notice that she was pregnant that time. Seriously, her stomach didn't indicate that she's pregnant at all!

It took 2 hours for us to catch 5 of them. We almost gave up when we managed to catch 2 only, but thinking how the other 3 could survive without their mother for a night, we decided to try again. The uncle guard found a long stick for us to push the puppies out from their hiding place, and Christine's husband has quite long hand that he successfully grabbed and dragged out the puppies.

After successfully moved all the puppies and the mother inside a cage, Christine gave them towel and clothes to keep them warm. We saw a lot of scars and wound on their body, also fleas and ticks, but nothing we could do to clean them up at that time, because it was late. We talked to the uncle guard, and he told me that he will take good care of them until they are ready to be put for adoption, and the mother dog's been spayed, but he worried that his boss would disagree. We told him not to worry, and will talk with his boss next thing in the morning.

We did, and thank God the boss is also a dog lover chinese man. He even fed them this morning, and after explained him what had happened, he allowed us to keep the dog and her pups there. Seriously, if all the people are like him and the uncle guard, I would be more than happy to spend my extra time to rescue all the strays and implement TNRM in Bukit Serdang would be more fast than I ever expected!

Now, rescuing is an easy thing, the hardest part is to foster and take care of them. We would need:
1. Puppy foods for the mother dog and the puppies.
2. Newspapers & towels
3. Medicated shampoo & bayticol
4. Collar and leash for the mother dog

If any of you would like to donate some to us, please feel free to email me at: mikhaela.chan@gmail.com or text/call to: 017-3576111.

Here's the picture of them, after being rescued. =)    

Pretty mother dog. She looks a bit old, doesn't she? 

Fight for the food!!! =)

Finally, the mom gave up and let the kids eat...

The roof made by uncle guard

There are 1 male and 4 females.

We are still hungry

The brown was the last pup we caught.

she still dislike us for grabbing her out :p

Place where they live now... safe even though not really comfortable.

 In about a month, they will be ready for adoption. It's free of charge, so if anyone interested, please feel free to contact me. I will post their updates.

Love,
Mikha

PhiloSophy In My Life

Philo & Sophy were 2 abandoned puppies that I found and successfully re-homed to a very lovely couple in Malacca, Doris & Frankie. It was months ago, and they never fail to update me by sending emails and photos until now. 

I would like to share their latest email to all of you, and if you are a dog-lovers, animal activists, feeders or rescuers, you might know how delightful I am to have this kind of adopter. :)

Dear Zofa,

Long time did not send pictures of the two gladiators girls of ours. They have grown up and still a little naughty I would say for biting things around the garden. They are very happy with us and can be very lovable at times when they don't fight.

Grace (Philo) & Bunny (Sophy)

 The older girl is Grace but she is not as graceful as I want her to be becos she sits very funny and exposing her.................you know what I mean ? She is very vocal and always quarrel with her papa.She growls and bark at her papa when he comes home from his regular games. We don't understand what her barks are and she can really scold for quite a while before she stops and warm up with her dad. She warms up with mama too and loves to be loved and cuddled.

As for Bunny the little girl can be very fierce with Grace.Don't see her small in size ,she can be a chilli padi and always pick up fight with Grace over food or toys. Now they fight less but have to keep an eye on them otherwise they can start a ferocious fight anytime. We will always tell them off if they start growling at each other and they dare not fight becos papa mama will scold and warn them.

They have they regular meals of dry food in the morning while dinner is cooked rice with chicken and vegetables. In between they have plenty of fresh mangoes from our trees and they can eat faster than my hand can feed. They eat the flesh of the mangoes while we eat the seed. How lucky they are !!!

We love them and we really do becos they are a joy to us. All dogs are beautiful and a good companion as long they don't fight la. Initially when they came they fight almost daily and a big headache for us becos we have to dress their wounds after the fight. Now they are grown up and less fighting but we have to keep an eye on them. They know how to come to us for love and hugs and little Bunny always jealous when I hug Grace and she will push her way in to be loved first. She knows how to stare at Grace if she never gets her hugs and kisses.

 I love them equally and always spend time to be with them and talk to them as well. Bunny clever to buy our hearts by bringing toys to us each time she sees us. You know what her gifts of toys she brings for us ? Enclosed herewith are the toys she has. You can see how many pairs of garden sandals both sisters have bitten to bits. They can be very destructive. But never mind la papa mama loves them and let it be.

  

  

Will keep you post dated of their well being again and thank you so much for bring these two devils to us.

Regards,

Doris and Frankie

God knows how to do His magic. When I'm feeling tired and hopeless with rescuing and rehoming, He asks these lovely people to send this email to me. :-)

Another Animal Cruelty: Dog was thrown in to a Manhole in Cyber Jaya

I found this news from Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better facebook page, and it's really breaking my heart. Where's the compassion that long ago, as a human, we're proud of? This is too cruel, and I'm begging you all to share this, so action could be taken.

BLATANT ANIMAL CRUELTY. THIS WAS FORWARDED TO US BY THE SPCA AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE MUST SHARE THIS. FEEL VERY ANGRY PEOPLE BECAUSE ITS YOUR ANGER THAT WILL ATTRACT MEDIA ATTENTION AS WELL AS ENSURE THAT THESE ABUSERS ARE DULY DEALT WITH.ALL THOSE INVOLVED, INCLUDING THE DOG'S OWNER, ARE FOREIGN STUDENTS. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED:

Mustafa is the dog’s owner. He gave the dog to Mohamed Hassan to take care of the dog when he was away from Malaysia for 1 month. When he came back yesterday, Mustafa asked for his dog but Mohd told him that the dog disappeared. At night, one of Mustafa’s friend, an Indonesian guy who happen to be Mohd’s friend showed him a video clip showing that Mohd and his 2 friends were killing the dog. Mohd showed the Indonesian guy the video and he quietly transferred it to him thumbdrive and gave it to Mustafa. The video attached shows how cruel Mohd and his friends killing the dog by throwing the dog into a manhole nearby Cyberjaya and the dog died because of drowning.

PLEASE SHARE THIS AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE.

Rainbow Bridge

3 months without blogging, and now I'm missing it. What had happened? A lot of things had happened. I lost 5 puppies at the beginning of June, and I couldn't stop blaming myself.

I brought few puppies from the street, and quarantined them for about 2 weeks. When I was sure that they are healthy, I took them to adoption drive. They haven't got any vaccination on that time, and I guess that's my biggest mistake. Few days after that, one by one was having diarrhea, refused to eat, and just laying down inside the cage. I was in Jakarta that time, and my friend told me that 2 puppies has gone.

I rushed myself back home, and by that time, from 10 puppies I've lost 5. It caused by a virus called Parvo.

From top left to the down right: Climber, Yuri, Yumi, Paul Frank, and Whitney.

Even though everyone tried to convince me that it wasn't my fault, I still sometimes blame myself, 'if only I didn't bring them home...'

I know, you all are happy now, in Rainbow Bridge...

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Puppies are Everywhere!!

Yes, I know.. I was missing, then back again, missing then back again. I really can't put my ass in front of the computer and write something to update this blog. But, i have many stories to tell. Should I hire a writer, then? :p

I'm busy with puppies now. Lots of puppies. They are not puppies from the pet shop or purebreds or intentionally breeding them for sale. These puppies are stray.

Few months ago, I kept on complaining people who let their dogs roaming around and mating with other dogs. Why I complaint? Because they don't want to spay or neuter their dogs and when the dog gets pregnant, they just simply throw the puppies to the street. Then, when the puppies grow, they produce more and more, finally, we complaint to local council to catch all the strays in the neighborhood, because they are disturbing. You see, if you read again from the top, who made the mistake, actually?



How many puppies are there in the picture? I found them at abandoned land nearby my house. There are 10 puppies! Few of them have skin disease, while the others might be ok. To be sure they are healthy, I have to bring them home, quarantine them for round 2 weeks, and check their stool, behavior and appetite. If everything ok, of course they are ready to be put for adoption.

But the problem is, I can't bring those 10 puppies to home. :( have no enough time and manpower to do so, plus there are another 28 monsters in my house. So, what I can do now is taking 2-3 puppies home, and take the rest once the previous have been adopted.

I pray there's no heavy rain.












Please let me know if you want to adopt a puppy or could give me a hand to temporary foster them.

Thanks and lotsa love,
Mikha

The Adventure of Tin Tin: Secret of the Unicorn

Synopsis: 

young reporter Tintin, his dog Snowy, and his friend Captain Haddock, discover a riddle left by Haddock's ancestor, the 17th century Sir Francis Haddock, which could lead them to the hidden treasure of the pirate Red Rackham. In order to unravel the riddle, Tintin and Haddock must obtain three identical models of Sir Francis' ship, the Unicorn, but discover that criminals are also after these model ships, and are willing to kill in order to obtain them.

Remember my previous post  My Chihuahuas, the Real Adventure ? Thanks to NuffnangMY for picking my post to win a premiere tickets to watch this movie. It's a very good movie, good animation, interesting story, and for those who never read Tin Tin's comic before, afraid not, as the story is easy to catch. 

Watched this with Stacia, without Reco Wong. She's busy with meeting and appointment, too bad for her... :p but we might probably gonna watch it again with her little siblings as well. You see, how good is the movie ^^ 

watch out for the trailer here: 

Enjoy!!

My Chihuahuas, the Real Adventurer

My chihuahuas are tiny, but they are MIGHTY. I've taken them to many places, such as mall, beach, hill and cinema. Playground is like a gym for them, where they can practice to run and keep fit.

They confront tigers with no fear :)

Or even ride an elephant.

and also be a life guard :)

My Chi's also knows how to function a laptop, and watch their favourite movie, Criminal Minds.

Plus, they never outdated. iPad is their gadget to collect information from the internet before they start their adventure. :)

They have no fear (except to me), and such a great partner-in-crime. I've almost done everything with them, but now realize that the only thing we haven't done is GET ON THE BOAT!!

I'm not sure if my Chi's would have a seasickness as I do. Well, for sure it's hard to get a boat for dogs in Malaysia here. I read on the news that I could take them for a ferry ride to Langkawi, but they must be put inside the crate and placed in cargo area. That's the problem....

They won't like to stay inside there... so, it's another challenge for us to "smuggle" them inside my bag and sit in the cabin. And if they could make it till Langkawi ( I really hope they won't bark >.< ) then my Chihuahuas are equal with Snowy, Tin Tin's dog!!

I need to watch The Adventures of Tin Tin, to make sure that dogs won't get seasickness on the boat =) And, NuffnangMY is giving out premiere screening for this movie. Yay!! For more details on how to get the tickets, click in HERE.

Finger crossed!! ^^

Mauled By Rottweilers. Why the blame is always on the Dog?

PETALING JAYA: Being mauled by a Rottweiler is enough to kill a person. However, a tractor driver survived an attack by three Rottweilers for about 25 minutes.

Ting Soon Teck, 33, who was bitten all over his body, required 150 stitches and still winces when he recalls the Sept 18 incident.

The father of three had gone fishing with his brother-in-law at a private fishing pond in Taman Orkid Desa that day.

The brother-in-law then complained of a headache and went to their car parked a distance away to take a nap.

‘That’s how I fought them’: Ting showing his injuries at his home in Jalan Kasawari, Puchong, yesterday

“After two hours, I decided to leave with my catch of two fish.

“I called out to the pond owner but five Rottweilers raced towards me instead. Before I knew it, three of them pounced on me and began mauling me.

“I felt pain and could feel their teeth sinking into my flesh although I tried to ward off the attack by punching and kicking the dogs.

“One ripped off the flesh above my ankle before eating it.

“I could even see my bone,” he said at his Jalan Kasawari home in Puchong yesterday.

Ting said he thought he would die and almost gave up hope. “But I just threw punches until my knuckles were bruised and bleeding.”

After about 15 minutes, the fishpond owner's wife, in her 60s, heard his cries for help, rushed over to him and tried to pull the dogs away.

About 10 minutes later, his brother-in-law, who heard the commotion, also helped pull the dogs away and rushed Ting to a private hospital.

“The doctors were taken aback by the extent of my injuries and I was close to death,” he said.

“I was soaking in my own blood.”

A police report was lodged and the pond owner, in his 60s, was arrested.

The pond owner faces a jail term of up to six months, a maximum fine of RM2,000 or both.

“The owners did not obtain a licence to rear the dogs and as such, City Hall has seized the dogs,” Cheras OCPD Asst Comm Mohan Singh said.

Ting and his wife Yong Su Cheng, 28, felt sympathetic towards the owner and have forgiven him.

“However, I strongly urge the authorities to put the dogs to sleep as they are too dangerous.”

source: The Star  

Once again, my heart breaks when I read this news. Another dogs will be put to sleep because of the irresponsible owner. Forgive the owner but put to sleep the dog? Come on!! They are doing what they supposed to do! They are protecting the owner. Do you expect them to come to you, and said "sorry, you are not allowed to go in, please go out." If only they could talk, they would! But, they are dogs. They bark and bite. It's the owner's responsibility to tied the dogs when he/she is not around. It's the owner's responsibility to control their dogs, and not just let them wandering around.

The one who should responsible is the owner, not the dogs. So, please stop asking the authorities to put to sleep the dogs when this kind of case happened. The dogs are not stray, the dogs have an OWNER!

Do you think whenever this things happened and you put the sleep the dogs, the problem solve? The stupid idiotic owner could buy another dogs, exactly like that, and cause another nightmare like this.

If only those dogs could talk...... :'(

Proud Parents: Zack Chan & Fey Wong

B.O.D: 7 April 2011

He's very cute, isn't he...??

<3

Zack, the Tiny but Mighty

Let me personally introduce you with my lovely chihuahuas. Zack, is the eldest amongst others. I came to Malaysia on 2008, live alone and had a little friends on that time. Never thought in my mind that I'm gonna adopt a dog, but kismet, is the right word to describe how I met my lovely Zack.



He was abandoned, lived with trauma. His previous owner was a little kid. A little kid doesn't really know how to take care a puppy. Especially chihuahua. So, he only treated Zack like a toy. Commanded him whatever he likes, pushed him down from the stairs, and kept him inside the cage when he'd bored to play with.



The boy and his family migrated to other country and left Zack at the pet shop. Yes, they sold him. Zack lived in pet shop for almost half year until someone else bought him. A family with 2 teenagers. I knew them because they were my students. They've already owned a pure breed golden retrieve and a pincher.



For few months, Zack was only stay inside the cage, seldom to play, and boring. That's what my students said. "The dog ain't cool at all!". But, when the first time I saw him, I knew that I fell for him. There's a chemistry between us, I can feel it. Yeah, laugh me, but I'm so sure about that! :p



Problem came when they found out that Zack had a skin sensitive. They were afraid it will spread to the other dogs, so they decided to get rid of him. My student asked me whether I want him or not, and of course.. I'm so willing to take him home with me. :)


Like wise-man said "dog is a man's best friend", they really are =)
