Mutts and MIttens

I just want to share some photos which speaks of our happiness and many's happiness. Just received a message from Nick today showing how happy Missy is and I just thought how good it would be for all dogs to enjoy this kind of love.

Below are Mutts and MIttens' angels:

Melco- My own doggie of 7 years!So timid yet always wanna act fierce. When he is sleeping, you feel like cuddling him onto your bed.

Bulldog- what a sweetheart!

Yellow- the super obedient one!

Happiness

There are many people who keep searching for happiness and it seems like it is impossible to find it. Perhaps it is because some of us assumed that it is not so easy. In fact, happiness actually can be plain easy and simple to get. Getting a dog is definitely one of the best ways. Dog is man's best friend and many can testify for you that this is true. Even those who used to be so fearful of dogs, once they develop a bond with the dog, they really enjoy their times of their lives because they have a loyal friend.

We search for happiness and so do the dogs who share this Earth with us. Of course, they are animals and can care for themselves and be happy even if they have no roof over their heads, but sadly, us human beings dont leave them alone. Some like to abuse them, call the AVA to put them down etc. Hence, there arises cases like HAPPY. We are currently helping Yvonne to find a home for HAPPY. Even if you cant keep a dog, tell somebody you think may be able to keep HAPPY. Happiness for both you, your friend and Happy may be just a call, a msg or an email away.

Yvonne has the following to share:

"Hi! This poor doggy needs help.

She is currently staying at a back lane of some shophouses and needs a home badly. We had tried putting her at our doggy's place that my husband had built illegally for another 3 dogs in the night. But on the very next morning, that there will be packets of urine thrown inside the "shelter" and subsequently kerosene and blocks of bricks and tiles. We found out all these "act of abuse" was done by a malaysian worker as Happy barks at him when he comes back to his working place when he used the back door. We had no choice but leave Happy with her owner's worker every night in which sometimes they do not bring inside the house, Happy will be drenched if it rains.

Seeing this situation and we couldn't do much help as currently we are already paying 2 other dogs to stay in a kennel. I really hope Happy could go a nice home with caring and patience owner who will take good care of her. Btw, Happy is sterilised and vaccinated 9 month old black female mongrel. She is loveable and obedient and knows some basic command but being a puppy still, she can be quite playful.

If you wish to adopt or see her, you could leave a message here or contact me at nictansj@singnet.com.sg"


HAPPY- Wagging her tail to show how much joyful she is whenever someone pays her some attention

Missy got adopted

Yesterday was the last time we walked Missy down the familiar lanes of Mutts and Mittens. Our hope of adopting her is gone, but God made a wonderful arrangement for us and for her. We managed to meet her adopters and Nick surely looks like he loves MIssy as much as we do and they have the time and means to taake good care of her. Hence, though we are sad we arent the ones adopting her, we felt very happy that Missy indeed found a good home and we surely continue to pray for her health and welfare.

With Missy gone to a permanent home, we moved on to help walk other dogs we normally have no time to walk like Sky and Ritz- the malamutes (Like Huskies but bigger than them). Both of them are really huge and it takes so much strength to control them, but they are very gentle actually, just very excited to be able to come out to play =) Saw CoCo as well,still as obedient and sweet as before- I adore her so much. But Darling's eyes are all on Blackie- the black Jack Russel who is also v adorable but he has a temperament. Hence, we gona try to interact more with him and see how it goes..

Chanced upon Yvonne who is a dog lover and rehomer for dogs. She brightened up our day knowing that there are such kind souls who put in time, effort and money to help the dogsWe are trying to rehome a mongrel currently. Once I get the photos, we will post it here and any one interested, pls call us to arrange for a meeting up=)

Wedding weekend

14 and 15th June seems to be a very auspicious weekend for wedding. Had 3 to attend, even emceed for 1 of them. Pretty enjoyable and well, they were all extraordinary weddings. 1- Maybelline's wedding was a simple church wedding but coz it was an international love relationship, it was extra touching and meaningful, summore i met my sec seniors there! super happy!2- Yishan's wedding- the whole TTSH pharmacy was there and we just went phototaking crazy. Her gowns were very nice and it's great catching up with my dear dear friends at TTSH,especially Eric whom we went for supper after the dinner to chat over some bothersome stuff pharmacists face in Spore. 3- ROM in the Aloha chalet. At first we did not expect much especially since we are the emcee and the groom happily din even give us programme, must chase and chase.. but it was very nice coz the groom had a touching vow and the bride had a lovely cute dress and the deco was nicely done up by a guy fren who is so good at flower arranging. Impressed! Of coz, in the meanwhile of rushing from one wedding to another, we found some time to visit Mutts and Mittens, had fun with Missy(Missie), bLACKIE, ah ma, yellow(hahah..always sleeping- like Cohen said, put at home also nobody know we got another dog, just an ornament maybe..)On top of all these, we also had Fathers' Day celebration.. hahah, really rush from one place to another, but it's very fulfilling...

Australia Trip-Sydney & Tasmania

17th July 2008
It was 4am and both Darling and I got up excitedly since today is the day we fly off to our favourite country- Australia. It is expecially meaningful to me since this trip was planned mainly to visit my sister and bro in law in sydney. Havent seen Erjie for about 5 months and really miss her

We were in Sydney for 2 days, then we went to Tasmania for 1 week and came back to sydney for the other remaining week.The photos paint a thousand word- more than what i can describe. Oh, but i wun be able to post all the photos up, so you only have a slight idea of how wonderful it was. Ever since we are back, we keep thinking about the trip- how wonderful and enjoyable it was!We miss the chilling cold Cradle Mountain, my pademelons and wombats,the snow. I was glad we had Victor over there with us too. He even bought a cake to celebrate Andy's birthday on his birthday itself which was the day we set off to leave Sydney and fly back Singapore.
