Happy Birthday my dearest friend. The only thing that is constant is Dommy.

We are gathered here...

2015-09-07T15:03:00.000+08:00

Thank you for being concerned about us Sandee :)
Just to let everyone know that we are okay. Our family EXPPPPAANDED :D

We don't have much time to blog/write anymore. Too many dogs to bathe..hahahaha... but we are all happy. Life is more balanced even with more dogs.

Dommy is older and getting very old. He's 13+. He sleeps on most days and snores. Sometimes his heart skips a beat and his body shakes.. like starting up again. Scary to watch but he's doing fine. But huge appetite. Still fat with thin legs.

We do post pictures on FB once in awhile.

Catch us there :)

We run the adoptables page on FB with a few friends.
https://www.facebook.com/ipoh.adoptables
Most of the cats and dogs from the shelter are just waiting for a home but there's really not many good homes out there. People still prefer to buy animals from petshops and support puppy mills while many dogs/cats in shelter suffer. Pedigree and breed specific.

There's more to do regarding animal welfare in our country. More on education and changing mindsets. There's really not enough hours in a day to just lie low and play dead with the dogs on the floor.

We apologise to most of our blogger friends for not visiting.
Hope everyone is doing great. We will hopefully be visiting everyone soon.
We do miss all of you. Maybe one day when we are older... and retired.. we will write again :)

Feelin Meh?

How did we get to May from February?

People do say that when you are happy... time flies. Or when you are older, time speeds up. Or... when you don't manage your time well... you don't get to blog.

We have been occupied and getting to know our brown girl. Her name's back to being Chachi. The name that her first owner gave her. *LOL* She seems to respond better to that name.

Dom is Dom. Dom is older and more dots. Slower on some days... we have some good days and not so good days. He had his bloodtest again to check on stuffs. He might haveta go in for the dentals and remove all his broken bad teeth soon. Once and for all and be a old toothless Dommy. His vet says she can do it and has done it on old and very old dogs. I am just worried he won't wake up.

Pipster's mom just wrote a book about him. We have ordered ours. Have you got yours? Can't wait to have it in our hands. Click on the badge below and get yours! 20% of total sales will be donated to rescued and sheltered dogs and cats.. and animals. I know it will be a wonderful book... and a something to remind us of dear Pip.

We can't keep up too much on blogging but we'll try. We are sorry we have been away. Everything is mobile. The internet is in your pocket. Most things move too fast.

Catch up with all of you again. Take care and maybe we'll try harder to blog :)

Photobombed...

Rule 01 - Never leave crunchy curious stuffs lying around on the couch with a bored dog in the morning.

... they were really crunchy but grandpa doesn't think so. I am in trubbles.

Wabi-Sabi Wednesday

2014-01-08T00:21:00.001+08:00

My wabi-sabi friend Pirate. We have to sometimes find beauty in imperfections. There are no perfect lives too. So lighten up and soak up the imperfections of life and enjoy the present.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Me and Zoey

2013-12-09T16:46:00.002+08:00

My first stuffie in my forever home. Its name is Zoey. Its a free toy which my hoomans got from Zoetis.

Zoey wears an orange vest which i love to take off. She used to have a pink nose too but it was rather tasty so i ~~ate it~~ gave it a good crunch and its now noseless. I hope Zoey can still smell.

Thankfulness

2013-11-29T01:34:00.000+08:00

All is quiet in the house. Both furry and furry are a snoooooooozing away and having dreams chasing turkeys around the table.
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in my home but we love turkeys.. especially a succulent roast turkey. We however are thankful for each day that we can wake up and be alive to create more colors and be of use to others.

We are thankful for

Eyes that see
Hands that can work
Feet that takes us here and there and everywhere
Food in our tummy
Friends and family who give and give
Dommy for being by our side thru the toughest days
Nana in our lives
Mr. Piper who still loves to pee and pee at odd corners when he comes back
Cats in the garden
Coffee in the morning
A job
Friends like you and all of you over the pond and yonder
Nancy's cake
~~Icing on Nancy's cake~~ Butter cake
Friends and lots of friends at the shelter
Buttercookie that smiles when she's given cookies
A roof over our heads
Wet noses that greet us in the morning
Life with dogs
and lastly the internet for bridging the divide :)

Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours. Hope there's turkey for everyone..furries included.

The Worm and the Beer Bottle

2013-11-26T00:33:00.001+08:00

This is one very strange picture. Dommy and Nana seems to be up on the ceiling having their lunch. Defying gravity :) Dommy just had a crew cut again.. and you can see all his dotty skin even though he's not a dalmation. He's just old. His dotty self blends beautifully with our floor :)

An aerial view of Nana while she is eating. Can't really take pictures of her because she just wriggle too much when she's not eating. She's like a worm. She's in the category of ideal dog weight.

My dear Dommy... from the aerial view... he looks like a dotted beer bottle. ~~A nice cold beer would be nice.~~ He is in the overweight dog category. Some waist can still be seen from above.

Now that we have a dog here to compare weights and share food, hopefully Dommy will get to his once ideal weight one fine day.. soon.

Both of them are getting along beautifully. Sometimes there's a bit of tension when the young worm just wants to run and run around the garden... nonstop zoomies while the ole Dommy just wants to go out and sniff the plants and enjoy some air. The Dommy from once upon a time ago loved to do zoomies too. But they keep each other company and i am glad Dommy has a friend to play with every single day even though he gets exhausted easily now.

Dommy is very tolerant of Nana. I realise that he has aged a lot when he is playing with Nana. My constant friend for 6+ years. He has aged a lot and slowing down.When i am working, he was beside me all this time. He was not even suppose to be my dog. He was adopted for my parents. He just became mine.

But.. we'll take each day as it comes :) Life is beautiful when its life with dogs.

Nana Cacing M.

2013-11-17T00:25:00.000+08:00

Our newest family member. I brought her home on 2nd November 2013. That'll be her Gotcha Day.

As some of you know... Dommy loves the company of other dogs. Mr Piper however does not like to play with him. When Nana came... you can see from his expression.. he's happy. Very happy.

I realised that what he really needs and wants is the company of another dog. In his senior years, i feel that i owe him that much. To bring him more happiness and someone to play with. He's suddenly transformed back to being a puppy and running round and round the garden.

Nana is only suppose to stay with us for only 2 weeks. I was fostering her and am suppose to bring her to our adoption drive today. Today my dad agreed to let Nana stay. I am really really very happy. I went to the adoption drive today without Nana. Dad said that she's a good girl and she can stay.
I fail big time at fostering.

She is a very good girl. Only 1+. High energy and loves to run loops around the garden. Sweet natured. She was one of the puppies who was adopted out from our adoption drive last October. Even back then, i noticed she had a very good temper as she was quiet but the rest of the puppies were making a racket.

Her owners only know how to love her and only taught her all the good things. She never knew fear. She trusted everyone and love everybody. She even trust cats. She only know love and love to be loved. Like a human child, she loves to sit on your lap and wriggle like a worm.

My mornings are now filled with cold noses to my face. Relatives just shake their heads and ask me why i allow another dog in the house. They shake their heads in disbelief. They tell me its unhealthy and its not good to have dog + dog in the house.

If you are going to have a pet and not treat him/her like a family member, you should not have a pet. You can hire a security guard instead. I now sleep more soundly at night knowing that i am with two furry loved ones. I now have two shadows. I have more sand in the house, more poo to scoop but i am happy.

Oh... an owl came by the garden the other day. It settled down on our swing and fell asleep. It looks like an owl from the Harry Potter movies. It sure didn't go hoot hoot hoot. It let out a very cold wailing sound which spook the hell out of me.

She love stuffies and she loves to de-stuff Dommy's bed too. Dad gave her the name Nana after the singer Nana Mouskouri. Her nickname is Cacing (which means worm in our Malaysian language).

More stories in the days to come. We are now just trying to get to know one another. Goodnight for now.

The lovers, the dreamers and a cow

2013-10-29T00:23:00.002+08:00

What a lil Pip all the way in Chicago mean to me. Well... first of all... he sent me a song to remind me of him.

Here i was innocently waiting at a cafe for a friend, sipping my drink.. lost in my own thoughts.. and he decides to poke some fun at me and see if i remember.

The cafe was empty except for the barista and the cashier. And there was Pip with his song.

How is this song his song? Kristin made a video of Pip on a couch.. snoooooooooooozing away a long time ago with this song. I remember i watched it a few times way back then. After that this song reminded me of Pip all the time.

Actually i stole a lot of Pip's videos on his blog when Real Player had the Save function (I confess I stole from you Kristin). I went thru my saved videos on Real Player and there is a lot of videos of Pip.

He's tiny but he's big in every other way. His smile is contagious. Most of the time he made me smile when i see his grin in the pictures. The first picture of his on his blog header.. of this Giant Pip in a tiny village of people.. that was when i loved Pip. Who could forget Pip in the lion suit. That was hilarious. The tiny dog with big dreams. And he really got back into the game.

I don't really know the right words to say to people anymore when they lose someone they loved. Time will heal and the memories will somehow get you thru it.

For some of us, when we lose our beloved dogs, we never want to adopt another dog anymore. It just hurts too much. But the empty bed and toys... another dog somewhere out there could use a home and the love that you guys are capable of giving. When the time is right, open your heart again for another dog. Let another furry fella fill that gap. He will want that for you.

How did a lil dog across the big big pond made such a big impact on so many lives. He sure did... he was big.. and he was Pip. I will always remember you my lil buddy.

Run free!
