*wink wink*

But she must be in real pain too… You’ll know why when you watch the videos below.

The preparation… Moments before she starts her contractions and labor. I actually moved her whelping box downstairs coz I wanna her deliver her puppies downstairs instead in my room or outside my room…It turns out that… watch this.

Here comes the first puppy!

And the second puppy…

Another one?

And the final furkid!

Here is Suki and her babies.

They grow pretty fast in size. It’s just about a week old and I can see a difference in size in each of them though I see them everyday.

Let’s see puppy number 1 – male. He’s the biggest and greediest among all and I temporarily name him Fei Zai. (Take note : Fei Zai won’t be the registerred name of coz!)

Some close-up shots.

Here’s my second “grandson”.

This is my third “grandchild” and also my first “granddaughter”.

The last “grandchild” which is my second “granddaughter”.

Dun you think they look like Rotweilers puppies? I’ve been receiving many queries why are her puppies black. Hm… Good question, Australian Silky Terriers are born blue and tan and as they grow older, their coat slowly changes. Suki was born with similiar colour, and look at her now. Totally changed like an ugly duckling changed to a swan! I dun think the puppies are ugly(some people do think they are ugly and u know who u are), I think they are incredibly cute!

If you are wondering how does Suki’s unofficial husband looks like(they have not gotten any marriage registration and ceremoney), I only manage to locate this photo. I wasn’t around when they mate, so, didn’t manage to snap his pics to share.

I was shocked when I first read the news from TheStar newspaper about Plight of the Swamp Dogs. Pulau Ketam residents had trapped some 400 dogs and transported them to Pulau Tengah to ease the stray dog population on their island. FYI, the island which these dogs have been transported to have no food and water and left to fend for themselves.

It has been reported that some of the dogs had died of starvation, and those that are alive ate the carcasses. Holy dogs! Can you imagine that?! Dogs usually dun eat their own kind, they may might and kill each other, but not eat them. I guess it’s the natural instinct of a nature to react that way to be alive.

It is an extremely sad case that some human have not thought of the consequences of doing so. It’s also been reported that they dun meant to be cruel to them. But wait a second, doesn’t anyone think/rate/check if Pulau Ketam is a suitable place for a life being to stay? Or was it a selfish act just wanting to clear those dogs from the place they lived and not cared what would happen next? Tell me about it.

In my opinion, this is not exactly a good idea to transport the dogs to an island with no food and water?! If they had temporary transport to an island nearby with food and water, it’s not exactly a good idea too. Why? Because those dogs are not neuterred nor spayed and can reproduce fast. Let’s do some calculation.

Let’s say the island lives 400 dogs, which is 200 bitches and 200 dogs and each female dogs produces 5 pups in average. A female dogs may be on heat twice a year.

( 200 bitches * 2 times a year * 5 pups ) + 200 bitches + 200 dogs
= 2000 + 200 + 200
= 2400 bitches and pups all together

 

Okay..my example here is not exactly accurate but it’s just to give you a rough idea on the amount of dogs living on the island after a year. So, how about let’s say 5 years later? It will be a few more times than the amount we have above because a female puppy starts to be on heat when they are about 6 months old(some may be earlier) and they could be pregnant from then. So, what we need to do is actually neuter/spay, yes, I repeat, n e u t e r / s p a y them and not DUMP them to HELL and just leave it.

Right now, thanks to volunteers and Furry Friend Farms for helping to save these powerless dogs. Check out the Pulau Ketam Rescue Mission or you may click here to follow the updates of it or check how you can help them out too.

If you’re clicking on the update links above, Check out SAD EYES posted on Monday, 18/05/09. It’s really sad to know that. He/She is still traumatised by the unfortunate tragedy which took place.

This is Grace. She’s swimming outta Hell Island towards the volunteers.

See what happened to her wound.
Warning : Please do not watch if you have a weak heart. I feel like wanna puke when I watch that.

Does these dogs really derserve a bad life like this? What have they done wrong to get such treatment(abondoned)? Tell me.

*NOTE : Perhaps you could do the least by helping to spread the news or the poster above on your blogs too?

I truly believe that everyone have a something special about themself which makes them standout to the rest of the people in this world. Recently, like the overnight famous lady, Susan Boyle from Britain’s Got Talent, she totally shine out from the rest with her totally amazing great voice even if she is not in her tip-top looks at that night. But I’m not only talking about talent here, there are some things that certain people took the initiative to get the job done which the rest of the people don’t. I believe that makes a person standout in life than the others.

Honestly, I’m pretty much a non-talented person. I dun sing amazingly well, I dun get amazingly great results in studies, I dun cook amazingly well, I dun drive amazingly pro like a F1 driver, I dun eat amazingly huge amount of food, and, I dun play amazingly well in sports(in fact I kinda sux at it, specially anything with balls, and please dun get me wrong), and I dun have amazingly well talent in recognizing objects and faces(in fact, I’m sux at this too, to date, my friend still laughs at me that I ask them this a few years back. “Ehh..this car quite nice hor”? *Pointing at Perodua Kembara*) . So, what’s the special thing which makes me stand out from the rest?

Okay, let’s start with feature wise.

I got big black eye pupil. People have been asking me if I’m wearing any contact lens which enlarged my pupils. No, I dun. And yeah, it’s very BLACK, not so brown.

People say I have dimples overload. What?! How could a person with dimples overload. Okay, mine is a little deeper than the rest. I can put “guli” in it and it won’t drop. Trust me, I’ve tried that. =)

So, what are my others standout other than features?

It’s my incredibly passion for animals. I do a lot of reading(internet, pet megazines) and also compose it to an easier reading blog post for the ease of access of information to the rest. I used to work as a PAWS volunteer to help raise fund.

This kitten was saved opposite of my house. She was hiding behind the tyre of my neighbour’s car.

I quickly fed it with some food and water.

You dun exactly see me help raising funds now, but I do my part of helping the animals as well. I have helped bring the awareness of animal abuse in my blog too(I used to blog only about animals at Petssionate ).

Most of you may already know about the awareness of saving Panda bears in China. But have you heard of Moon Bears? These bears were being captured in a cage which is just too small for them which have no room to move or even turn. Not jus that, someone will then make a permanant hole at thie abdomen with no sterialization nor pain killers, and there’s someone who will stuck in some kinda tube into it to extract their bear bile daily. These are to be used as medicine though the technology been so good that researches have found that 45 types of other items(example Jasmine) could replace bear bile. The daily extract of bear bile have caused disability in some of them, and some, was injured during the capture. I’m not going to write more about this here now as I have blogged about this before, read more about it here.

I may not have a huge lum sum of money to donate to help all animals, but I do have lotsa dog food to share. Thanks to my dear Suki the Silky Terrier whom made me won the Purina One 30 Days Challenge in Season 1 two years ago.

I have a total of 30 packs of 3.63kg of Purina One Dog Food. Suki finishes a pack of 3.63kg dog food in about 3 months time and now we’re only left with 9 packets of dog food. The rest of it have been either donated or fed to strays. So, you do the calculation.

Donation of some dog food to PAWS.

I may not be able to help all of them but I’m sure I have been helping some of those with an empty stomache. I’ve always backup some dog food in a plastic container or a pack of dog food in my car. It is a very sad view that you see a skeleton skinny dog begging for food but shoo-ed away by the people and some even kick or uses objects to hit them. I have seen many dogs fighting for food when I fed them and I’ll have to spread out on many separate bowls to avoid that. You dun wanna see another injured dog don’t you?

I found quite a few videos which I’ve filmed when I fed the dogs. There’s quite a few so I’ve cut it short and just compose it into a video. I actually have more but my harddisk crashed and I didn’t manage to backup those. =(  Okay, you dun exactly see me in the video..coz most of the time I only started to film after I’ve put down the dog food for them.

Feeding 2 puppies, someone owned them but it’s weird that they are caged outside of the gate at the roadside no matter sunny or rainy days. So, just fed them with some dog biscuits.

 

Ahh…this is my favourite, I call it Direct Transaction. Coz the mummy is eating the dog food and the baby is drinking her milk at the same time whilst she’s eating.

Since we’re on this topic, I have an idea to suggest. Since goverment are paying the money to some companies to capture the strays and put to sleep, why not use that amount of money to neuter/spay them and release them to avoid the increasingly amount of strays. Once they’re neuterred or spayed, they won’t be able to reproduce anymore. Also, we could also spend some amount of money to train the puppies or some dogs and they could even make good guard dogs(perhaps for condos and guaded housing area community?). With the economy crisis currently which also concludes to the increasingly amount of crime rates, if we uses those trained dogs it may help to reduce the crime rate indirectly, who knows right?!

Besides, after winning Purina One 30 Days Performance Challenge in Season 1, I’m also the host for the Purina One 30 days Performance Challenge in Season 2.

You may think that you are just making a small difference, but that what makes you stand out in life from the rest of the people in this world, remember, everything starts with a baby steps. I believe my passion for animals makes me standout in life. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my beloved furkid, Suki for helping me to find my inner self though I know she doesn’t know how to read this at all. I wouldn’t have done all these if she didn’t exist.

Last but not least, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and STANDOUT IN LIFE, you’ll never regret.
