Late Sabrina Yeap (Mother of Stray) 1st death anniversary | 20th July 13

everytime i tell my friend or family i'm attending the ceremony their response is "wah so fast one year already?" yeah.. time flies..

it is also my first time to the Shelter Furry Friends Farm. after Sabrina left us. the volunteer and friends fight so hard to manage the shelter.

the great people who manages the farm when late Sabrina left.

along with other Dr Dogs members we all went to the ceremony to pay respect.

not easy to get the dogs to stay still for few minutes (many camera) but somehow the people who attended manage to snap many photos. here's the group of Dr Dogs and Sabrina's dog Kuning. 

Snowie trying to look out for me while all the people keep calling her name. She don't know what's the situation so end up look out from under Kuning's body.

 

Dr Sammy and Dr Snowie got tired because of the very hot weather. 

 

 i really hope that sabrina can see the flower from above. Flowers are meant for someone special, someone with a good heart. Thank you Sabrina for bringing this lovely program (Dr Dog) in to Malaysia. For helping the people, we help the dogs too :)

Love,
Handler Yi and Dr Snowie

Adopt don't buy!

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=428257537256992

watched this video on facebook. i already start crying when the first picture of puppy shown. i don't know who or how many people would actually click on it to watch the whole video.

dogs die and human still buying from the petshop. why won't they take a look in the shelter before going to the petshop? nowadays the dog lover you see might not even be a real dog lover. they are just breed lover. it's a hobby. no matter how many video of awareness posted, there are none that will care because what they really care is the breed, the blood, and how it looks like.

recently i watched a tv show about boxer (dog). i didn't know boxer have flap flop ears. the boxer i saw or have seen, are all pointy ears. this lady bring her boxer in, with an antenna attached to the ear. ears cut so and that stick is to make it stand. so that it makes the boxer look beautiful. it makes me wonder..didn't the lady love her when she first brought in that floppy ear dog? why cut it? is that to satisfy herself? probably just to pleased herself that the boxer is just like the other boxer.

really down writing this.. i guess i'll just stop here. it sucks to write about dogs. i love dogs so much and ends up i hated watching movies and shows about dogs. i wonder what can we do to change their world.. 

Final 2 days with Sabrina Yeap | Funeral @ Nirvana crematoriom

Received an email from Salehin and noted that the Dr dogs will lead the cortege on Sabrina's funeral day. Thought it would be the last time Snowie and i get to "work" with her. So i went to the memorial center early in the morning.

Salehin was already there when i reach. He was with his two dogs. the well-known Dr Kylie and Dr Sammy. It's our pleasure to meet them both.

We waited just for a while. Soon to lead the cortege. All of the Dr Dogs handler has arrived. We took some group photos before the media arrive. Also few other group photos after the media arrive.

Snowie was well behaved on that day.

We lead the cortege around 950am if im not mistaken. it was just a short while. We were surrounded by medias and photographers. I notice one guy trying to hold his tears so badly but he didn't realize his eyes and face was soaking wet while he try taking more pictures. From my view, and from his face, i know this person know Sab very well. In fact.. soon after i notice he's steven goh the photographer. I used to see many pictures of FFF taken by him.

When we reach the crematorium center. My heart sank. It feels like ur in the movie. A really sad movie. In fact this is even more sad than those in the movie.

                                                   Photo by Tanti
it's also my first time at the crematorium center. I've never attended any funeral before. The Dr dog handlers were ushered into the first row. That's the place we pay our last respect. I couldn't help but cry when the casket was lift into the narrow space. because i know. once cremated. nothing left but bones and ashes. We won't get to see her again.

Many people came out from the hall with teary eyes. Everytime a volunteer talks to me. I'd burst into tears and give them a hug to avoid having them meeting my eyes.

I met her twice. Just twice. and i cried so bad. i couldn't imagine the people who have been working with her all the time. especially the volunteers. the ones who spend most of the times with her. How they bare the pain. for this i respect them. They are strong! and i believe FFF will be as good as when Sab was managing. Rest In Peace my angel :)

I didn't stay long. I left for work soon after i pay my respect to everyone.

In case you were not there. You may watch this news below. Tanti was so sweet to share this to those who couldn't make it to the wake or funeral. What happen has already happened. lets cheerio and move on. Be a better person ;)



My condolences,

The final 2 Days with Sabrina Yeap | 19 July The Wake

It was deadly shock when i found out Sabrina's death is not a joke! Acute leukemia took Sabrina away from us.

Probably there's alot of people who doesn't know what Sabrina do in her life. I get to know Sabrina when i signed up for Dr. Dog programme. I've met her twice only.

My first time was at Doggywood. The time when i spoke to John Landon about the only problem Snowie couldn't join the Dr Dog as Snowie would bark at other dogs. I was lucky to meet him that day. Sabrina and all the other volunteers were there. John took Snowie's leash and said he'd do an immediate assessment for her. She passed the exam. and i remember Sabrina was calling the volunteers to take a picture of Snowie.

My second time was at Snowie's first Dr Dog visit to Hua Ming Autism Center. Sabrina is always busy video and snapping camera of us. She would say "u have to approach them" when i sit at the corner waiting for the kids to approach.

I met her twice. but i know alot of her. i know what she do and what a kind and hard working person she is. That's the reason i feel so sad when all of us lost her. She's an angel. God sent. And just so soon...she left..

Sabrina's wake was on the next day after she left. Her funeral was sponsored by Nirvana memorial center. I went to her wake together with my cousin sister on thursday, 19th July. It's very kind of Nirvana to allow dogs to visit her wake. I brought Snowie along. I'm glad i brought Snowie and Yoyo because they both will cheer me up much.

                                         photo by Tanti
Her wake was packed with so many people. mostly rescuers - those that i recognize. I didn't shed a tears that day. i was busy handling Snowie. She appear to be abit nervous. Yoyo was the one who has that redden eyes after she see the story of her life on the display board.

We spend some time around. Chit chat around. and left at 11pm. Before we walk out to the parking lot, we walk around the Nirvana memorial center. The place is crazy! it's so luxurious and it actually look better than a hotel. it does make us feel more comfy tho...

It's my first time to a wake. how embarrassing.. Yoyo and i didn't know what is the white pouch for. She place it in the bag when a volunteer hand it to her. We then found out that it's to put the money "pak kam". We can't help think back how ugly it is to pass the money from wallet to hand.. sigh.. this shows us.. what happen had already happen.. we can't possibly ask the money back from the volunteer then place in the white pouch then give back to her. just like what happen to Sab. We can't possibly have her back. what we can do is learn whats worth, and walk with her. Till one day we'll meet again...  


We'll miss you,

Paws Mission | shelter visit 121111

Another visit to pawsmission. wanted to find my dearie bambi girl . too bad i cant find her :(

volunteers have been busy with the cleaning.

a task was given to me. to walk a dog. hmm..was suppose to be a female dog but she ran away to play with other girls. so i walk a male dog. look pretty sick to me.

handler say 'his name is ______' . i heard wat she said but forget after a second. (the name's actually Gong Gong, meaning grandfather). she say not to let him go close to other male dogs as they'd fight. i goes O.O fight?

so aunty kiew pass me a stick (in case they fight i can stop them, which i dunno how ).

i start walking him. wherever i go, i check the other dogs near him, look down to see if its a male .

but! i notice those around him are females. all the chick surround him when he walk. this boy seems tired. sometimes he'd stop and wont walk. then i wanted to call him but "oh shit, wats ur name already?".

he looks tired. all the chicks has gone running. i notice myself start dragging Gong Gong. he doesn't want to move. no matter how i call...oops, i don't know the name that time. thinking maybe he don't understand english as most of the volunteers would speak cantonese. so i tried cantonese and chinese =.=

since he's not gonna move, we take a break. i took some pics and see the chicks run around.

soon then Gong Gong start to walk again so i lead him back to where he's from. i put him back in the cage and the handler said make sure gong gong's cage got water then only i know his name is Gong Gong. and i feel weird calling him cause i feel like im calling my own grandfather :P

after knowing the name, i know why he won't move. he's so tired walking. he's old. hmm...sorry Gong Gong, i handle u badly :( will do better next time.

ok i wish i could walk another dog but too bad my family is waiting for me for lunch. i better ciao.

another day has passed .. :)

Paws Mission | Adoption Drive 30Oct2011

Ok lets NOT even mention how upset am i to accidentally deleted All the blog photos through my smart phone. asses! well, just ignore all the "!" at the moment. i will have to re-upload all photos since 2008 to 2011 k!!!

move on to today's adoption drive at old klang road. went to help out today. my first volunteer at the shelter. i reach a little late. around 9 or 10am. kinda blur. but the first thing is to change all the tore newspaper of the dogs.

ok im glad there is no cat. :P

and then to tie pink and blue color ribbon on their neck. according to their gender. wow.. some are pretty patience. some of the dogs just knock me outta the way. sometimes i'd go "one more one more" but i guess the dogs won't know what one more am i talking about :P

the hardest would be those with 2 dogs in one cage. because it's pretty hard to control both. and most of them are so energetic. they want to run.

ok im weak..i got tired after that. guess im not as good as the 'angels' there. so i have a sit and hear some people talk. i'd carry a pup in my hand. first, i like them. second, i tot that might attract the people to look at them and higher chance to get themself adopted.

so i start hanging out at the "pup zone". they are like 2-3 months. i'd clean as soon as i saw them poop or pee. because pup won't know what is HYGIENE. they'd just step step step on it. or eat the other pup's poo poo. i really don't know to see that even i know it's pretty normal for them.

                                                 adopted!

                                        adopted!

                                           adopted after an hour of consideration. in my opinion the other siblings look cuter but she chosen this one. i guess that's fate ! see how tight she hold him? she won't let him go!! ;D

                                       his adopted as well. as a watch dog :)

                                          he's not adopted. but he's really one cute pie! next photo is his sibling.

this girl girl is one big attention seeker. really sharp voice when u put her in cage. but well.. many wants to adopt her. so she's booked!

                                                 love her

the outside world~

ok i actually went home earlier so i'm not sure if my other babies are adopted. but if u are interested u can always check out their blog and facebook page. link attached.

Thanks to those who came. because you did not go to the pet shop in the first place. you've chosen the right FIRST option to go :) cheers for you.

Paws shelter | often ask question

hmm.. this is a post to answer most of your question. i often see forums and messages asking whether PAWS is a "No-Kill" shelter.

month before, because of Joseph's shout out, i contacted them using their page form but i get no reply. how foolish am i, expecting busy people to reply my post lol.

since i read it from petster, and it actually mentioned PAWS, i'll let you know the answer (incase u don't have petster at home).

very unfortunate, the overloaded animal is forcing them to euthanize animal after a certain period placing there. Yes, they euthanize and No, they are not a "No-Kill" Shelter. if u want to know more go check out Petster September's issue. it's free.

as for their decision, don't blame them. they already did what they could to help those animal. Everyone is throwing their animal to PAWS. and they don't have the fund for all of them. according to what i've read from the mag, animals that are sent in will be place for a certain period of time. if there are no adopters, no luck..that's the end i guess..

I know that many intend to be a rescuer or accidentally became a rescuer. There is actually a way if u found lost/stray and u wanted to help them. learn TNRM. check out http://myanimalcare.org

basically, i'm still in a learning progress :) i used to rescue animal and gave them a time limit. after a week or so.. if no one came to claim, i said i will put them to the shelter. very lucky, really lucky. there is always interested adopter. u can check out http://petfinder.my

First timer who do not have the knowledge of TNRM would want to put them to shelter. just like me. but placing them in the shelter won't help much. here's what you can do:-

Feed them. foster them. when u gained their trust, neuter them, when they are neutered, rehome them/put them back to the original place(for stray). M for manage. continue feeding them :)

well, easy to say, tough when it comes to doing it. but im just sharing what i know to the rest of you. because i know many of you are like me half year ago. save, put to shelter. NO!

Feed the strays! if u came across a lost dog, best is to foster him for a while. home dogs will have hard time surviving the streets as they are not raised up that way :) Good Luck.
