Marital Bliss

Taking a break from our usual posts on the latest happenings at the shelter, Second Chance would like to dedicate this blog post to a special couple, Richard and Jessie, who recently just got married. Wedding pictures have always been something sacred and beautiful on its own, but this couple took their wedding photos to a whole new level by including their dogs, Rex and Macy! 

For the benefit of those readers who are not aware, Macy was one of our shelter dogs who was adopted by this lovely couple. Richard and Jessie had brought Macy to revisit the shelter, not too long ago. 

 Rex (black dog with white spots) and Macy (white dog with black spots) were included in some of their wedding pictures.

We can be sure that Macy is in good hands. What with two lovely humans who care for her as well as Rex, a male Border Collie (who also belongs to Richard and Jessie). 

Though a little overdue, Second Chance sincerely wishes all the best to Richard and Jessie for their future together, along with their two dogs, Rex and Macy.    

Goodbye and RIP, Dear Ah Wong

No... thank you for taking care of me

I remember bringing you home. You were so small and cuddly with your tiny paws and soft fur.

  

You bounced around the room with eyes flashing and ears flopping. Once in a while, you'd let out a little yelp just to let me know this was your territory.

Making a mess of the house and chewing on everything in sight became a passion, and when I scolded you, you just put your head down and looked up at me with those innocent eyes, as if to say, "I'm sorry, but I'll do it again as soon as you're not watching."

 

As you got older, you protected me by looking out the window and barking at everyone who walked by.

When I had a tough day at work, you would be waiting for me with your tail wagging just to say, "Welcome home. I missed you."

 

You never had a bad day, and I could always count on you to be there for me.

When I sat down to read the paper and watch TV, you would hop on my lap, looking for attention. You never asked for anything more than for me to pat your head so you could go to sleep with your head over my leg.

 

As you got older, you moved around more slowly. Then, one day, old age finally took its toll, and you couldn't stand on those wobbly legs anymore. I knelt down and patted you lying there, trying to make you young again. You just looked up at me as if to say you were old and tired and that after all these years of not asking for anything, you had to ask me for one last favor. With tears in my eyes, I drove you one last time to the vet. One last time, you were lying next to me.

For some strange reason, you were able to stand up in the animal hospital, perhaps it was your sense of pride.
As the vet led you away, you stopped for an instant, turned your head and looked at me as if to say, "Thank you for taking care of me.

I thought, "No... thank you for taking care of me."

 

Remedy for feeling unloved

We absolutely love the quotes from this lovely website and yes we totally agree that furry frens are nature’s remedy for feeling unloved =)

 

Are you worth it?

 

 

He’s your friend

He’s your partner

He’s your defender

He’s your dog

 

 

 

 

You’re his life

You’re his love

You’re his leader

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He will be yours, faithful and true,

to the last beat of his heart

 

 

 

~You owe him to be worthy of such devotion ~

We came upon this great poem at a website and like to share it with pet owner out there…

Sunny, Top Top, Tommy and Tiger are still looking for home. Please write to us if you like to adopt them.

Do you have inner peace?

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can get going without pep pills,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and  boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every  day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved  ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can take criticism and  blame without resentment,

If you can resist treating a rich friend  better than a poor friend,

If you can conquer tension  without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

...Then You Are Probably  The Family Dog!

How the furrizens cool off

*PheeWWWww*

It sure is hot and humid lately.. For those of us who don’t have the luxury of aircond at home, we actually prefer staying longer in office for the aircond, or hang around in shopping mall until it closed >_<

But for the furrizens of the shed, they have other method of staying cool in mind… by staying high up..

And the King and Queen of the shed are none other than Bibi, Mei Mei, Adun and Tina =)

Subu, however, choose to cool off by taking a nap =) If you don’t move much, then you won’t feel so hot… :D

Tender moments

We wish all the furrizens are good frens like these all the times… =)

 

But no matter how many times we lecture/nag them about “Sharing is Caring”, “United We stand, Divided we fall”, “Stop fighting or you’ll end with wound and trip to the vet” etc etc.. they just wouldn’t listen >_<

I wish someone would invent a translator of doggie talk and vice versa.. so we can understand them, and they can understand us :D
