My Life-story

Last 3 days had been a tiring one and i am sure there are a few more days ahead..

By some chance, we got a litter of pups who are, by   a twist of fate was sent to SPCA. The staffs at the centre told my sis that they will all be put down if no one wants them coz their chances of being adopted are very low as they are mongrels, stray dogs look alike. The pups were only 3 days old..

We are really upset. Mongrels are dogs too and they also deserves to live. They are also more loyal and intelligent and less prone to diseases, unlike pedigree dogs. This was confirmed by the vet whom certified that they are in good health too.

An sms was sent to our friends, asking for people to come forward to adopt them so that they can get a second chance. This sms was spam sent, flooding my phone line, message inbox and voicemail. In short, there are a few cateogories of people whom I’ve encountered and would like to share…

1) The good and kind who says they are willing to pay for the pups’ boarding or sheltering, asking me (it’s NOT me) not to put the pups down.

2) The genuine ones (a) who are really looking for a dog to adopt (b) who are hoping to get a pedigree to adopt

3) The Kaypohs who just want to know what breed the dog is, why we (NOT us) are putting them down and if we could send them a picture to keep

4) The ridiculous ones, ranging from asking if they could trade in their cats for the pups, asking me "One night how much?", to calling me at 3.45 am!

5) The angry ones, scolding me thru smses or voicemail using vulgarities and ill-mannered words blaming me for not answering my phone, or my phone is off and that my mailbox is full

6) The profit making one, looking forward to adopt the pups and sell them off for some $ (This cateogory is the worst amongest all, please remember that dogs have emotional feelings too)

Unknown to the 5th cateogory, my phone had been ringing every minute second and whenever I answer a call, a 2nd incoming call is coming in too. I am trying my best to answer the calls, but my phone’s battery has it’s own limitation too..

Anyway, 4 of the pups were adopted while they were in SPCA, we’ve got 4 of them out and 1 of them had found a place they can call home now so far.. No more stray dog’s life, no more scraps as food, no more hit and run. Hopefully the remaining pups can find theirs soon too.

It’s really comforting to know that there are many dog lovers out there, be it real or not, but the pups are growing every day through 2 hourly bottle feeding, lots of TLC and sleep and I guess that is my sister, her friends and my greatest accomplishment.

Thanks for all who had helped by forwarding, called or smsed in.. If you received this sms by any chance with my chinese name (Yufen)..please just ask around your friends, do not forward it anymore.. Thank you..
