Before we brought Jamie to the vet,

as uncle had not arrived on the farm yet, we brought our 3 pups to be sterilised. Yes they are still pups but this pack is very sturdy and strong, very good-looking.

Thank you very much SB for your donation towards the sterilisation of these 3. We had them microchipped too so that they can be identified should the authorities come along to catch them for culling.


Microchip numbers

Their ears are also tipped to identify them as sterilised dogs. But unfortunately, in the present state of treatment of strays, these measures we undertake - STERILISATION, MICROCHIP, EAR TIP - may mean nothing to the authorities who view them plainly as 'straying dogs'. Despite the plain fact that we have done what we can to control the stray population in a humane way.

However, if there is anything we can do to control our stray population in a HUMANE way and to accord the strays a measure of SAFETY on the streets and farms where they live, we will continue to do that.

We have no control of others' treatment of the animals. But we sure do have control over our own decisions and actions.


Puppyhood - 1 boy (far left) and 2 girls.




Young adults now - on the way to be sterilised so that they will not add onto the stray population.






Our boy, neutered and microchipped, with his left ear tipped. All done to accord him a measure of safety on the streets where he lives.
