Remember this?
Well, he’s back (for a short while anyways) and someone is grinning ear to ear.

Puppy Business
The puppy business is really bugging me… like alot.
We’ve taken step 2) b) but it’s not turning out well. The doctor called me up this afternoon to inform me that the puppy’s condition isn’t too optimistic. The X-ray reveals that both the pup’s hind legs are injured. One is pretty easy to fix with a small surgery and another is dislocated so it’s a bit complicated. That’ll cost almost RM1000 (X-ray + surgeries on both leg) but it doesn’t guarantee complete healing.
Now i’m back to step 1 which is choose euthanasia (put her to sleep) or send her in for surgery.
Some readers had brought up the issue of SPCA. The reason i did not send her straight to SPCA is because SPCA is already so full with strays and both you and me knows that the chance of the pup getting adopted after she healed is very slim. Initially i was hoping to mend her and find a good home for her.
The vet (the only vet open at that late hour yesterday) isn’t too keen on keeping her either. Actually i regret bringing her to that particular vet (i’m not going to mention which) in Kepong. It’s so expensive but the doctor and the staff are like robots. All they care is to make a few extra bucks off of you. We had to deposit RM200 just to keep her there for a night. Imagine that!
I wish i had taken a photo of the poor pup so i could share it here. She’s so pretty and pitiful. Sigh…
A Step, A Stretch or A Leap
Being a fan of Reader’s Digest since the first time i lay eyes on it, i never fail to read the monthly copy once i receive it. The digest offers some informative articles as well as incredible real life stories of people all over the globe. Some of the articles are really touching and insightful.
It is nice to know that Reader’s Digest now have a special section named RD.com – Make Your Mark. If you believe in the power of change then you will love reading this section and if not then you will find out how common individuals like us could make a positive impact in this world. This section is dedicated to the individuals that have made the effort to improve the society. My favorite story is about a teacher and 900 students help built a dam for people in the Kenya village.
Actually it doesn’t matter what little things you do for the society. Mr. Bf had been donating to WWF since a while back and i am doing my best for the environment. It’s the action that counts.
Are you inspired already? If yes, then take the Weekly Challenge accessible through the Reader’s Digest Homepage. Take a step, stretch and a leap for a better world.
