MeowMeow's new food!


I was thinking of changing Meowmeow's food to Sanabelle instead of Max Kat. Although I don't own her, but I figured if I can afford a better brand of food for her, why not.

I went down to WOP again on a mission to get new food(partly because they brought in Marukan treats and I wanted to buy some for Ash!).

Anyway, back to our topic, so I bought 2 packs as they were on Promo: 2 for SGD$10 (400g per pack). I bought their new range, Sanabelle Adult with Fine Trout. (pictured above)

And I can't stop feeding meowmeow, I find her sitting at the same little drain, waiting for dinner everyday when I get home. Imagine if I'm not around, what would happen to her? What if she have nothing to eat, what if she starves and gets bullied again by ignorant humans/other animals?

When I first saw her she was so skinny, I could see her bones sticking out when she moves.

I've been feeding her Max Kat / Sanabelle Adult with Fresh Poultry mixed with Tiki Cat- Tuna & Mackerel (pictured below). I bought a whole tray (12) of Tiki Cat to fatten her up.And I'm pleased to find more than 70% real fish meat in the can instead of minced garbage, and they smell good.

Actually I'm pretty lucky because Meowmeow is not picky with food, or maybe due to the fact that she cannot afford to choose. But whatever I've put out for her up to this date, she finished them all. Sometimes I really really wish I could bring her home, but due to the fact that I'm 80% not home, and it'll probably be mum taking care of her, plus dad isn't really excited about anything with fur, I decided to just do whatever I can for her.


Ingredient list for Tiki Cat- Tuna & Mackerel:
Tuna, Mackerel, Tuna Broth, Sunflower Seed Oil, Dicalcium Phosphate, Fish Oil, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Nicotinic Acid (Vitamin B3), Manganese Sulfate Mono-Hydrate, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Ferrous Sulfate Monohydrate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement (Vitamin B2), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate, Folic Acid, Vitamin K3, Vitamin B12 Supplement

Rehome: Tiger


Hi friends, I am posting on behalf of Wizard of Paws.

This sweet little boy here, Tiger, is up for rehoming. 

Name: Tiger
Gender: Male
Breed: Golden Retriever
Not HDB approved.

From my understanding, Tiger was abandoned at WOP after the (ex)owners decided to go MIA after weeks of 'boarding'.

This is not the 1st time this has happened. The first time round, they mentioned they wanted to re-home Tiger, but decided to take him back. Then after a month or two, Tiger is back again for 'boarding'.

He's such a sweet fella, always happy to receive attention and hugs, tail wagging happily.
However, he needs medical attention to his weak hind legs as he chews on them which causes him to limp.
(his previous owners said this is 'normal' wtf)

It's really sad to see him lying there alone with really sad eyes, and I'm not exaggerating when I say his eyes light up when you approach. It's literal!

Please spread this news around and contact Wizard of Paws if you're interested! 
Contact no: 64403297

Update on 20 September 2010:
Tiger was brought back by his owners as they've found a new home for him. Hope you are blessed wherever you go Tiger boy.

Update on 21 September 2010
Tiger is up for rehoming again. The reason they gave was: Couple broke up, so dog given up for adoption. Please see here and contact the person mentioned if you can give Tiger a good home.

Chester Day!

Today I want to introduce an adorable boy to everyone. Call him 'Chester'

I've never liked dogs with folds in their faces, like shar pei, pugs, bulldogs..etc, but he, Chester, was the one who made me fall head over heels for him. He is a French Bull Dog.

However we think that he has a mix of Boston Terrier in his blood due to his appearance.



It was the first of the many meetings I had with Chester and co. at WOP. I was a sales intern then, trying to get his owners on-board. I failed in that aspect, but I gained so much more in terms of friendship and priceless memories.

He is the Boss in WOP, the 老大 (when Chewbacca the mini Maltese isn't there). He guards his territory with fervent vigor and scares 80% of unwitting humans who walks in. Many assumes that he is aggressive and because Chester is so manly and hunky looking, and he has a deep and loud voice when he 'speaks'. 

But you know, this hunky guy here has a soft spot for girls. He loves to curl up by your leg once he knows you better. He goes crazy with men though, jumps up and down because he knows that females should be treated gently, but not men.

He has a sad history of being abused, which involves bloody paws. Nevertheless, he's in a very nice place now, with many hugs from his new family members. He guards their 3 month old baby very diligently too. How sweet is that!

Look at his paws! <3
I go crazy when I see his paws because I can't stop pressing them! So cushion-y!


Such an adorable sleeping face. :) 
He actually loves being pat (a lot) by anyone. 

If you new to WOP and hear him barking, just walk slowly towards him.
Squat down, stretch out your hand towards him and let him sniff you. 


I shall leave you guys with one last photo of him: 
"BANG!"

Feline + 1 Canine Friends at WOP

Went to Wizard of Paws last weekend and snapped photos of their resident kitties. 


This is Baby #2 (B2), a male British Shorthair and very affectionate. :3 
 
He is very cute and chubby and looks like a little Siberian tiger! My secondary school friend recently got a British Shorthair kitten and he looks just like a miniature of B2. They are very affectionate, likes attention, and love to be petted (excerpt from wikipedia)


This is Didi (弟弟/Little Brother)

A funny guy who loves catnips and playing with toys. 
He used to be very timid and always hid in the cupboard (did I mention he can open cupboards by himself, and close them after he jumps in?). I'm so glad he's more at ease at WOP and is venturing all around the shop front!

And I met the scariest GR I've seen in my life. 

He's a sweet boy, but doesn't trust humans easily. 

I approached and he snarled. Bf swung his hands near him and he got into his aggressive pose, crouching and
ready to bite. Kinda scary to see a breed like Golden Retrievers snarling. It's probably not well socialised, but at least when I offered him treats (a very long one), he took it gently enough. 
 
Hope his owner will be bringing him home soon and give him lots of love! Poor boy.

Grooming!


Look at our floor, it's never cleared of fur even if we vacuum every single day. So moral of the story, if you're a cleanliness freak, DO NOT get a dog that sheds perpetually every second (read: Siberian Husky). 

For us, it's more like this:

*Fur flies past*

Kifa: " EH ASH! SEE! That's your fur! :D"
Ash: "...??"


That's only 10 minutes and he's still not done blowing his coat totally.

Anyway, we scheduled Ash for a grooming session at Wizard of Paws last Saturday. Hahahah! Ash was so excited on the way there, he couldn't sit still in Adam's car.

After his (very long) shower, waiting to be blow-dried

In the midst of grooming, Ash wasn't very cooperative and he broke their shaver, head of the blower (or whatever it's called), and the door lock. 

Just the shaver alone is 3 digits! Good thing Adam laoban was very understanding if not my pocket is going to hate me. Sob sob.

And he almost bit another customer's Goldie when I stepped out for lunch across the road. Which of course he didn't because... right... ADAM saves the day, stopped him in time. Haha!

But side-tracking, really need to get him exposed and socialised with other dogs and animals, but not sure how long it will take. But meanwhile, Calvin and I will be keeping an 2 pairs of eyes on him! O_O  o_o

Okay, back to grooming:

Excited!!

Super super soft coat after grooming.
Clipped off the rough part of his fur, but letting it grow out after this, and...

UNDERCOAT BEGONE~!Heheheheh!

Kpo other doggies' water bowl (provided by WOP)


Hahahahah! And last but not least...


Here's Ash's hind leg waving 'byebye' to you!

Friends at Wizard of Paw

Chester

Super attention seeking French Bulldog, and he will always walk over to your side and sit down. Damn manja. In the past, I've found that I shun bulldogs because of their short snout appearance. But ever since I've met Chester, he just won my heart over. 

Soooo affectionate, though if you ever visit Wizard of Paw, don't feel intimidated by his barks. He just want to get your attention. haha!

Poor boy got bitten by ants recently and didn't even scratch himself, only found out when Adam saw the red dots on his butt and body. ):  MUST SAYANG when you visit! 

PR manager: Chewbacca

He's a 7-8 year old Maltese that Adam adopted. If I'm not wrong, he had some heart condition which caused him to be abandoned. Tsk. 

Anyway, he's super small sized but has the guts of a great dane. Greets anyone who comes through the door. But please be careful not to let him out accidentally when you're there! 

One thing I know, he loves belly rubs. And will look like the above picture when you attempt to rub his belly! hehehehe!



Lastly, Jamie's pride and joy. 
[It's actually a HE cat. My mistake :x]
