The picture of loneliness and despair. What a terribleplace for new life to begin. She was given no choice.
These 20 over 'Milk and Honey' pups, recently and unexpectedly found in an industrial area in the West where heavy vehicles ply, is yet another one of those sad story. These are pups from an original of 30 plus when first found. Yes we said 30+. They are from 3 litters from a pack of dogs who have bonded through tough times. As they had no where to go and no factory or building to hide in, these pups were left wandering and some have been crushed by the heavy vehicles. Others starved to death as their skeletal mother had no milk for them. What is left, the 20 plus are the more fortunate ones, the ones the feeder managed to locate and help with make-shift barricade. There are no more female pups, they formed most of the 12 who died.
They sleep in their innocence without realising there is great worry for their future 
Amidst the grime and dump they call home, they dream of a rosy future.
The puppies are a mixture of milky cream, mustard to honey brown, lovely sweet colouring and just one to two months old, young and frail. The grown up dogs in this litter are kind and compassionate. When the feeder leaves food, they wait for the pups to eat their fill before venturing to join in, and usually not much is left by that time. How touchingly sad, how sweet their bonding. How heartbreaking to have to walk away because we have no place to relocate them. They all deserve good homes, every single one of them but we are appealing for homes for these pups instead because it would be almost impossible to rehome a grown stray dog, with the terrible high abandonment cases among pedigree nowadays.
Such beautiful pups who will grow to ‘man’s best friend’. Will they ever see that day?
They whine from hunger. This is the only thing they understand now, not knowing that there are far greater things to cry for in the future.
Food of kindness satisfy their immediate hunger but for how long can this go on.
If there is anyone looking for a puppy, please email or call us. We are realistic to know that we will not be able to rehome all but even if one pup can find a good home, we will be happy. The feeder is currently in the midst of sending the grown dogs, except the nursing mothers to be sterilised. The location is in the far West and we anticipate that viewing on-site will be difficult. If there are potential adopters, the feeder will take back one or two pups to have them cleaned up first before the arranged viewing. She will bring them to a proper groomer to have this done. Please understand that it is as hard for us as feeders to pick up a pup for a viewing because it will be even harder for us to place them back if no choice is made. Hard, because emotionally we would have bonded the minute we handled them and kept them for a night. We would be very torn to return the ‘unchosen’ one back to the fold but we need to do this for the young ones - we have to or they will all die. If we can save one, it would be well worth the effort.
Mothers who should be happy and proud during this joyous occasion but alas, another mouth to feed when she is also fighting for her own survival.
This black mother’s pups sadly did not make it. None of her litter survived. She did not have enough milk, her pups were too frail. Her drooping teats are the only testimony she once was a mom. Ironically, would it have been better this way? But kinder for who?
We appeal to you, to understand the ‘limitation of choices' when the feeder shows you one or two pups, we would have done our best to bring to you the cutest we could find. Please remember that pups are pups with the same waggily tail and cheerful, bouncing self. Their personalities will not be determined till they are older and at these young ages of less than 2 months, they are the same four furry legs and a tail. With your love and training, you can develop any puppy to be that kind of dog you want so please, do give these young male pups a chance. It is hard enough for us to make a choice on which would have a chance at a home. Send us an email if you can open the door to happiness for the Milk and Honey pups at anaterry@singnet.com.sg or 9838-3820. ..
Marshmellow, the smooth coat cross terrier
On a late Saturday night, as most families are already tucked into bed and night revellers enjoying their partying, a little black and white dog was doing neither. She was seen running frantically along Loyang Road oblivious to the speeding vehicles looking nervous and confused. Traffic was heavy at that time and very dangerous for the little dog who did not appear street-smart.
A group of NS boys who saw this from afar decided to try and coax it away to safety. Just then, the dog dashed across the road and was hit by an oncoming fast car. As if that was bad enough, with the dog lying on the road, the car behind rolled over it. A double whammy in just split seconds. Both cars did not stop to check the damage. The rescuers managed to stop yet another vehicle, a bus from hitting her further as she was right smack in the middle of the road. She was whimpering in pain and laid unmoving. She was bleeding from cuts on her body and couldn't move her hinds, but she was brought to safety.
We have called her little Marshellow and the vet has since treated her. She had internal injuries and a fracture to the pelvic bone but otherwise she is fine. She stayed at the vet for a couple of days, on drip for further observation. Marshmellow is now discharged and recovering at a Shelter and we are looking for a home for her. She appears to have been abandoned as she has no mircrochip.
Marshmellow smiles at the camera
Hurray! Roy’s owner have received the report from the vet. Roy’s tumour has been diagnosed as non-threatening. We thank God for this assuring news and that dear Roy has many years of peaceful bliss.
Quote from papa S “in one of those rare moments where he was chewing on his toy with his few good teeth, i snapped a pic of him. :) you can see clearly the stitches on the side of his body.
and then he fell asleep, head on pillow, belly facing up
What a laugh. Yes Roy is certainly in good hands. Thank you S and K for taking in Roy into your fold.
