Mad About Labrador Retrievers

BONES HAS FOUND HER FOREVER HOME

2012-01-30T17:32:00.000+08:00

This is a quick update on Bones:

I have been meaning to post this for sometime now but just never got round to it for several reasons...Anyway, Bones was adopted at the end of November last year by a really nice family. They were undoubtedly very concerned about her history and went to great lengths to ensure that Bones would adapt well in their family.

They came to visit Bones prior to adopting her and spent a couple of hours just sitting down and waiting for her to warm up to them. Then they agreed to a couple of play sessions at their home to enable Bones to get used to their home, before we dropped Bones off with them as a new member of their family.

Anyway, here are some pictures of Bones with her new family...

KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE THIS CHINESE NEW YEAR

2012-01-22T11:30:00.000+08:00

It's Chinese New Year Eve today and many of us will be home with our families to usher in the new Dragon year. And of course, one of highlights of the Chinese New Year celebrations is fireworks!

While fireworks may be exhilarating for us humans, it can be quite terrifying for our pets, both cats and dogs alike. So folks, please ensure that your pets are safe tonight.

Put your cats in cages and cover the cages to give them a sense of security.

Ensure that your dog is secured and has a safe place to "hide". If your dog is crate trained, put him in his crate before the fireworks start. And give him a nice treat to chew on and keep him occupied. If you have a Thundershirt, put it on before the fireworks as well to help keep your dog calm.

It is important to secure your pets to prevent them from getting frightened and disoriented, which may cause them to try to find somewhere to hide and in that process either get lost or injure themselves.

And in the mean time Happy Chinese New Year folks.

BENTONG FARM SANCTUARY

2011-11-17T16:52:00.004+08:00

Shahrul and her pack

Dear all,

Sometime ago, I requested for donations for Puan Robbiah's stray cats. The response I got was overwhelming given the short period of time that I had to spay/neuter and relocate the cats.

The dogs having a grand time by the stream

Anyway, I managed to collect RM3,990 for the cats, and I have RM1,085 left over. As such, I have decided that I will use donate the remainder of the money to Bentong Farm Sanctuary - a no kill animal shelter.

Chilling by the stream

I visited them recently and am truly amazed at the dedication and love that Shahrul and Jorg give to the animals there. Unfortunately, as with most shelter, they are in dire need of funds.

The cows at BFS

BFS has recently made an appeal to fund some of their veterinary bills, amounting to RM1,676.55. I have therefore transferred the left over collection and topped up the amount to cover the said bill.

Some of the dogs checking out the goats

I hope that my decision is acceptable to all of you who have so generously donated for Pn Robbiah's cats. Thank you once again for your generosity.

Would like to thank everyone who helped spread the word and also to those who offered to help in various ways.

BONES IS MUCH BETTER

2011-09-18T20:35:00.000+08:00

So we picked Bones up a week ago, and we weren't sure if she would make it. She was severely malnourished and dehydrated, she had a massive maggot wound on her face, and her body temperature was well below normal. After round the clock care - 5 small meals of keeble, boiled chicken and yoghurt; hot water bottles and Oxyfresh, she is now starting to look and behave like a puppy should... YAY!!!

She went for a blood test on Friday and we'll be picking up the results this week. Hope she gets the all clear.

Her wound is also healing very nicely... :)

Bones

2011-09-11T15:57:00.003+08:00

While walking Cleo & Lucky this morning, they suddenly took a great interest in a bush. Usually, I let them sniff for a while and then carry on walking and they would ordinarily leave it, even if there was a cat or squirrel lurking about.

But today they just refused to leave and tried to burrow into the bush. As they are both pretty big dogs it took me a while to get them away, and then I saw this poor little puppy hiding under the bush...

I just could not bring myself to leave her there, and so she came home with us...

Bones at the vet

Bones sleeping after a hot bath in a Thundershirt and hot water bottle to keep her warm

We have decided to call her Bones as she is literally skin and bones and had a huge maggot wound on her jaw (about 20 maggots were removed!). She has been to the vet and her body temperature is very low. Am keeping her warm with a Thundershirt and also a hot water bottle wrapped in a fluffy rug...

She is severely malnourised and dehydrated. She weighs a mere 2.5 kgs... Am feeding her small meals every 3 hours. We have to also force her to drink cause she just doesn't seem to have any energy.

The next few days are critical and we can only hope that she will make it through...

SETIAWANGSA VET - BILL PAID BY ADOPTER

2011-07-26T19:14:00.000+08:00

Dear all,

I do apologise for the delay in posting the final amounts incurred for Pn Robbiah's cats. Work has been mental for the past weeks and I have also been travelling extensively.

Anyway, here is the latest update:

Sponsorship Raised so Far RM3,990.00

Expenses Incurred & Paid @ Shah Alam RM1,905.00

Balance RM2,085.00

Expenses Incurred & Paid @ Setiawangsa RM1,000.00**

Balance RM1,085.00

**The adopter has decided to sponsor the entire bill at Setiawangsa as it was quite a substantial amount. She does not want to make the amount public, but all I can say is that it has exceeded the RM1,000 that she had initially pledged for 10 cats (as there were 25 cats sent there in total).

Therefore, the RM1,000 included in the sponsorhip amount will be subtracted as the amount incurred at the Setiawangsa Vet. As such I now have a balance of RM1,085 in sponsorship money. I will use this to assist Pn Robbiah as and when she needs this money to spay and neuter the cats that we did not manage to catch, and/or for any other rescue effort by me or by other rescuers. I will post the amount incurred on this blog and I hope that this arrangment is acceptable to all of you.

Once again I would like to thank all of you for all the help you have given me. The cats would NOT have had a second chance at life without all of you.

SHAH ALAM VET - BILL FOR PN ROBBIAH'S CATS

2011-06-20T22:12:00.000+08:00

Hello all

Sorry it has taken me so long to post this... have been completely swamped with work... Here's the bill for the cats that were at Shah Alam. Have blacked out the owner's name as the adopter wanted to remain anonymus. Will post details for Setiawangsa cats as soon as I get the bill and have time to scan and upload it.

PN ROBBIAH'S CATS AT THEIR NEW HOME

2011-06-14T21:58:00.012+08:00

Last weekend, 17 of Pn Robbiah's cats (11 females from the Shah Alam vet, and 6 males from the Setiawangsa vet) were relocated to their new home - a lovely bamboo farm out in the country. I would like to thank the people who made this possible - namely the volunteers who came with me to catch the cats at Pn. Robbiah's house and then to relocate them, the vets and most importantly each and everyone of you who contributed towards this cause.

***********************************

Details:

Shah Alam Vet - 11 of the 12 cats sent to the Shah Alam vet have been relocated. The remaining cat will be going back to Pn Robbiah as that was one of her favourites. The total bill at Shah Alam is RM1,905 for the spaying/neutering and other medical treatment, e.g. for the flu, flea treatment etc. I will try and get the bill scanned and uploaded as soon as I can.

Setiawangsa Vet - 6 male cats sent to the Setiawangsa vet have been relocated. We unfortunately lost 5 of the cats/kittens (the sickest ones to viral infections). They were the ones that were down with diarrhoea and were vommitting when we picked them up from Pn Robbiah's. The 3 mother cats and their remaining kittens, and the other cats are still being treated. Some of the kittens are still quite sickly and I hope that they will recover soon.

I will be getting the bill from Setiawangsa once all the cats are well and can be moved to their new home. I suspect that this bill will be quite huge as there were 25 cats in total sent to this vet, and due to all the medical treatment that had to be provided for the cats.

***************************************

Sponsorship Raised so Far RM3,990.00

Expenses Incurred & Paid @ Shah Alam RM1,905.00

Balance RM2,085.00

Will have an idea of what the costs will be by Sunday. Will update again on Sunday/Monday! Have a good weekend folks!

PN ROBBIAH'S STRAY CATS - UPDATES

UPDATE:

SHAH ALAM VET

All 12 female cats at the Shah Alam Vet have already been spayed and are now recovering well at the clinic, although some of them are still under treatment for various issues, namely the flu. Hopefully they will be able to be moved by this weekend to their new home.

SETIAWANGSA VET

The mother cat with the two kittens will be spayed today, while the two kittens are being treated for eye infections and the flu.
The mother cat with the five kittens is still being treated for flu, and her five kittens are also being treated for eye infections and the flu.
All the other male cats are being treated for various issues - diarrhoea, vomitting, flu etc.

********************************************************

We are still raising funds to cover the cost of spaying/neutering these cats as well as to cover the medical costs incurred for treating all the cats and kittens that are sick.

If you sponsor any amount at all, please drop me an email at cleopatrathelabrador@gmail.com to let me know your name and how much you have transferred to my account. This is so that I can keep track of the sponsorship properly.

Also, if you transfer money to accounts other than mine, I will not recognise the amount sponsored until it has been handed to me. I hope all of you understand why... Once again, thank you to all those who have contributed, the cats are very grateful to you...

*************************************************************************

We have rescued a total of 37 cats!!! 20 adult cats, 3 kittens, 3 Mother Cats and their 11 Kittens!!! They will all be spayed/neutered before being sent to the adopter. Some of the cats are quite sickly, so they will be treated before they are spayed or neutered.

There are still a few more cats at Pn Robbiah's that we have not been able to catch today. If any of you have the resources to help out in catching them etc, please give Pn Robbiah a shout.

Any amount no matter how big or small will be greatly welcomed...Will post bills as and when I get them. Will also update the sponsorship box with all amounts donated.

I would like to say a big thank you to those who have already contributed, and more importantly to the 4 fabulous people who helped me out in today's operations. You know who you are! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Here are the pictures of the cats all safely at the clinics.I do apologise for the appalling description of the cats. I really do not know how to describe cats...

THE RESCUE OPERATION

SPONSORSHIP NEEDED FOR PN ROBBIAH'S STRAY CATS

2011-06-02T15:59:00.008+08:00

A good Samaritan who wishes to remain anonymus has called me and offered to take ALL of Pn Robbiah's cats. They will be well looked after, and will have lots of space to roam etc. Her only condition is that ALL of them MUST be spayed and neutered before she takes them. She has also offerred to sponsor the spaying and neutering of 10 of the cats, but has requested that I raise the funds for the rest.

Therefore I would like to appeal to all of you to please sponsor the neutering of at least 1 cat.

The cost of neutering is a MALE cat is RM75.00 including post-surgery care
at Setiawangsa Veterinary Clinic

The cost of spaying a FEMALE cat is RM120 including post-surgery care
at Shah Alam Veterinary Clinic.

This does not include amounts that may be incurred for treating cats that are sick, and THIS PRICE IS A ONE TIME DEAL only for Pn Robbiah's cats. These vets will not be taking in cats for any other cases.

I will post the amounts incurred at the vet, and if there is any access or leftover from any funds raised, this will go towards animal welfare work in general.

Please email me your name and the amount that you have sponsored to cleopatrathelabrador@gmail.com so that I can update my records accordingly.

In the mean time I would like to thank everyone for helping spread the word! It is very much appreciated!

Sincerely,
Natasha Fernz
Email: cleopatrathelabrador@gmail.com

********************

NOTE:

I would like to stress that any amount you donate should be PURELY VOLUNTARY.

And while I will endeavour to answer all questions regarding the cats and their well-being, please bear in mind that these are NOT my cats. I was asked to help late Wednesday night, because this lady had no one else to turn to. I am doing my best in the limited time that I have.

THESE CATS WILL BE CONFISCATED ON SUNDAY 5 JUNE IF THEY ARE NOT REMOVED AND RELOCATED ASAP!

And to mobilise 30 cats in such a short time does not allow for the cheapest options.

URGENT FOSTERERS OR ADOPTERS NEEDED FOR 30 STRAY CATS

2011-06-02T12:51:00.003+08:00

Pn Robbiah is a 58 year old retiree that feeds and cares for over 30 stray cats in her area. Quite a number of these cats have actually been dumped at her home. With her limited means, she does the best that she can for these unwanted strays.

Many of them are sickly, and she takes them to the vet for treatment and looks after them as best as she can.

However, recently a neighbour filed a complaint to MPAJ. Pn Robbiah has been given till Sunday 5 June to remove all the cats from her premises and surrounding area or they will be confiscated.

COMPANIES THAT DO TEST ON ANIMALS!

2011-05-30T15:09:00.000+08:00

Recently I was introduced to a new product range that claimed to be Eco-Friendly and Free from Toxic chemicals, Safe for Children and Kids etc. I asked the staff if they tested on animals but not one of them understood what I was talking about.

This seems to be the general state of affairs in Malaysia. Whenever I am approached by sales girls, particularly for cosmetics, I always ask if they test on animals. And I would say 99% have no idea what I am talking about and would actually proudly declare that they do test on animals. The reason being that they feel it is important to let their cosumers know that their products have been tested and therefore should not worry about any possible side effects or allergic reactions. It is only when I press them further and go to great lengths to explain what I mean, do they realise that they have no idea what they are talking about, and they have no idea if the company they work for are ethical or cruelty free.

And so this has prompted me to re-post this list from PETA which lists down most of the companies that DO actually test their products on animals, although it is not necessary at all to do so.

I know I am trying very hard to buy cruelty free, but I shall be very honest and say that I unfortunately have NOT been able to ensure that everything I purchase is cruelty free, especially when it comes to household products.

In terms of household products, Cold Storage does stock some cruelty free products, and these include Astonish and Earth Choice. I personally use Earth Choice for most things - from window cleaners, to laundry liquid to dish washing liquid. I must say that they work quite well.
In terms of cosmetics, I believe that we can definitely make a difference by choosing brands that are cruelty free, even in Malaysia. My favourites are Clinique, Clarins and Body Shop.

While I understand that it is extremely difficult in Malaysia to BUY 100% CRUELTY FREE products, particularly household products like cleaners and washing detergent, I just hope that this list can serve as a guide and at least help all of us in making informed choices when purchasing any product.

I would also appreciate any feedback that any of you might have on this matter...

*************************************************

Extracted from PETA

Why are these companies included on the "Do Test" list?

The following companies manufacture products that ARE tested on animals. Those marked with a ♦ are currently observing a moratorium on (i.e., current suspension of) animal testing. Please encourage them to announce a permanent ban. Listed in parentheses are examples of products manufactured by either the company listed or, if applicable, its parent company. For a complete listing of products manufactured by a company on this list, please visit the company's website or contact the company directly for more information. Companies on this list may manufacture individual lines of products without animal testing. They have not, however, eliminated animal testing from their entire line of cosmetics and household products.

What can be done about animal tests required by law?

Although animal testing of pharmaceuticals and certain chemicals is still mandated by law, the arguments against using animals in cosmetics testing are still valid when applied to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. These industries are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, respectively, and it is the responsibility of the companies that kill animals in order to bring their products to market to convince the regulatory agencies that there is a better way to determine product safety. PETA is actively working on this front by funding development and validation of non-animal test methods and providing input through our involvement on government advisory committees at both the national and international levels. Companies often resist progress and, instead of using human-relevant non-animal tests, choose to use animal tests because their results can be manipulated. Please let companies know how you feel about this--consumers have considerable influence on company policy!

Walking the Kids

2011-05-17T10:58:00.000+08:00

I think my neighbours must think I am mad cause the kids and I go out really early for our walks these days, i.e. when it's still dark... The reason being that I have recently started a new project where the client requires me to be on site everyday. And as I feel that the kids need to go out eventhough I have to go to work, I have made it a point to wake up extra early to take them before I dash out to work...

It can be quite dangerous to walk in the dark cause you can't be seen, so I ordered these High Visibility Vests for them. It's quite funny when all the people in the cars that go by, do a double take! I think we're the only people with really strange equipment for our dogs...

I guess I just want to highlight to everyone that it is really important to keep your dogs safe when you are out with them. Make sure that they are leashed and visible to prevent any untoward incidents!

Scruffy Needs a Home

SCRUFFY HAS BEEN ADOPTED
*********************************************

Hello, my name is Scruffy.
I am about 2 or 3 months old now and am looking for a forever home.

I used to live in the Hulu Kelang market. I was very sick and suffering from a severe case of sarcoptic mange. Because of that people didn't like me and used to kick me to get me away from them.

I could not understand why they couldn't see that all I wanted was for someone to love me, epsecially since my mommy died from eating some poisoned food...

Thankfully I was rescued from the market and my condition has improved significantly. My skin no longer smells bad, and all the nasty crusty stuff has gone away. My fur is starting to grow again too...

My carers think that I should be able to go to my new home soon.

As you can see I am a playful and energetic puppy but I am also a quick learner. I will do anything to please my new "parents".

I have already started potty training and I am proud to say that I can now hold my bladder for over 2 hours. My carers are very pleased with my progress, as I have already learnt not to "poo" in my crate. I have had ZERO poo acidents after my first day of potty training! :)

I will need lots of exercise, and hope to be able to go for daily walks. I will also need some obedience training, but I will need someone who will teach me with kindness and patience. I would like someone who will also spend time with me, and not leave me all alone for long periods.

I will be a faithful, loyal and loving companion,

Please call my carer, Natasha, at 016-322 8816
if you think you can find it in your heart to give me a home and family that I can call my own soon.

Grooming Rusty

2010-12-09T00:19:00.000+08:00

Rusty is another one of our rescued dogs... He came to us some years ago through an acquaintance who found him in the middle of the road... He somehow sustained pretty serious injuries to his head, and this resulted in him becoming partially blind. His left eye is almost completely blind and his right eye isn't that great either.

Anyway, he lives with my dad, and is doing pretty well. He has learnt where everything is and has stopped bumping into things like he used to when he first arrived.

Anyway, he hasn't been very well recently and so we have not been able to send him to the groomers as he would get into a real frenzy if we put him into the car. And so I decided that I had to do the job myself as his fur was getting terribly long!!!

This was Rusty before getting his fur clipped by yours truly - looking rather grouchy!

And this is Rusty (with Jesse our other rescued Lab in the background), 3 hours and 2 aching arms later- looking quite alot chirpier... Although I must say it's not exactly a very stylish look!

CLEO IS 6 YEARS OLD TODAY...

2010-10-31T14:10:00.017+08:00

Cleo with us on our wedding day...

Our darling Cleo is 6 years old today... We first saw her on Jan 25 2005. She was the last puppy of her litter and no one wanted her because she was really tiny, i.e. the runt of the litter. A friend fo a friend of a friend asked if we would like to have her because she was not "sale-able"...

We fell in love with her as soon as we saw her and brought her home with us. We're so lucky to have her in our lives and can't imagine what it would be like without her...

So here are some pictures of various stages of her life with us...

Crate Training...

2010-07-12T00:24:00.001+08:00

This is the second video of Lucky, one of our rescued dogs, and his clicker training with the fabulous Thunder Shirt on!!!

Lucky has only ever been in his crate twice in his life:
- the first after he was neutered and so was under anasthesia
- the second was when we moved house and we pretty much had to drug him before we could get him into the crate.

We tried all sorts of things, from putting his food into the crate, tossing treats (just like in this video) into the crate, actually sitting in the crate ourselves, BUT nothing worked.

Now after 2 short weeks of TTouch, the Thunder Shirt and clicker training, Lucky seems to be quite happy getting into the crate and even lying down!!!

Note: Cleo (the yellow Labrador) is of course overseeing and supervising the entire exercise.

Lucky and The Thunder Shirt

2010-07-11T22:45:00.005+08:00

This is a video of Lucky - a dog I rescued almost 3 years ago. We love him to bits but he has been one of the most challenging dogs I have ever had.

We have never been able to put anything on him except a collar (and even then we risk being bitten!).

Recently I attended a course on TTouch and Clicker Training with Sarah Fisher and her TTouch Team in Bath, UK. The lessons I have learnt from Sarah and her team have been most enlightening.

I have been using the Tellington Touch on Lucky and "clicker" training him for just 2 weeks and the results have been amazing.

In this video, I am putting on a Thunder Shirt (a specially designed shirt for dogs with various issues) recommended by Sarah Fisher.

This isn't a very elegant video (as I am still learning alot about clicker training), but there are 2 main things to note:

1. I have now managed to get the Thunder Shirt on Lucky in 1 minute 20 seconds.
2. Lucky has not snapped or growled at me like he normally does.

When I first started two weeks ago, it took me 30 minutes!!!

Will be posting more videos of Lucky and his progress with the clicker!

Hi all...

It has been ages since I last posted - but have been swamped with work and also with other activities...

Today I completed the Britsh 10K Race in 1:23 - not bad considering that I have not had any time to train in the last 5 weeks - plus I pretty much walked the entire course!!! I took part in this race to raise money for The Mayhew Animal Home... and although I have now completed the race, you can still help me raise money for the Mayhew via my JustGiving page till Sept 09.

www.justgiving.com/natashafernz

Please please dig deep to help our furry friends that come through to Mayhew. Without Mayhew, many of them would not have had the second chance in life that they deserve...

Here are some pics from the day...
