We planned our Thursday morning

to visit Mama Girl, then BB then Shadow. Yes, just 1 word - heartwarming. :)

First to Mama Girl / Goldie. She has settled down well with her kind family, and has marked out a couple of her personal favourite spots for the day and night. She is still timid when the weather turns bit rough with thunders and showers, but that's alright. They face the same when living on the streets and they will learn to cope with these natural elements. We got her a lamb shank bone for a treat. An enjoyment for her! Mama Girl is one out of the many street/farm dogs who is now blessed with a safe, kind home. We continue to hold high hopes for her family who are now still living at the farm.

Next stop to BB / Bagel. After being perpetually chained up for 2 years, Bagel is having his best Christmas ever this year! Very amiable, sweet fellow who is making up for lost time and comforts by snoozing the morn/noon away on his big, soft, comfy cushion, and even jumping on the family couch for naps! :) His new family, wonderful people, has granted him his very own snooze corner. We were told at times Bagel shows his deep satisfaction by snoozing on the couch, beagle belly up. :)

From life in chains to such a dog-friendly family who naturally understands the needs and dreams of dogs, Bagel's daily wish as he laid on cold hard floor, neck weighted down by a metal chain -- his wish of a new home has come true, far and beyond what he would think was possible I believe. If I am Bagel, this new home and family I have now is enough to have me smiling goofily for the rest of my days. Our little boy is truly FREE. Amazing.

Pardon the bad shots & videos! My mind wasn't quite there as I was busy feeling so amazingly touched by the miracles I see manifesting right before my eyes.


I was waiting in anticipation to see Shadow. Been quite a while since we last met. She always has a special place in my heart, for what she has gone through since puppyhood. Her first year was dimmed by people who killed her spirit, chaining her the whole day with a very short metal chain, most ironically, on the front porch of a huge bungalow with a big garden that Shadow could never step upon. Utter neglect and cheap diet caused her skin to dry out and flake all over her body. The chains were killing her slowly. Draining the young life that had been so eager to please. But with each passing day in chains, her eyes grew dimmer and dimmer. Yet she never seemed to give up hope. When we visited, her whole body, her entire being quivers and cries out to us -- for just a touch, a kind word, a hug. How much she longed for just a little bit of love. It was very painful, very painful to leave her each time we visited as we made plans for her exit from that family, as there were some issues to be settled and convincing to do, and also plans to make for Shadow.

Rescued to ALL

Foster care


Home sweet home

When we finally freed her early last year, a heavy weight was also freed from my heart. She spent a few months at the boarding kennels before a blessing come upon her, and she was chosen, among so many waiting for homes, and adopted into a most kind-hearted family who has opened their hearts to her as she has, unreservedly, to them. With her simple heart to love, Shadow has won the family over and is very much loved in return. Seeing Shadow with her family and new friend, Shane (a retriever look-alike boy who was found near their home), I am reminded again -- miracles do happen.

For as long as we carry HOPE in our hearts, MIRACLES WILL HAPPEN. Time and again. For that one simple reason -- to show us LOVE. To show us, that when we live with hope in our hearts, we live ourselves, as LOVE. And we shall be a blessing to others.

The days have been wet & Shadow has a bit of a rash. She's wearing the tee-shirt to prevent her from scratching too much. She was even beautified with a bouganvilla bloom! :)
Heartfelt thanks to all of you who have walked with us this year. Who have blessed us with your supportive words, advice, gifts. Most importantly, by letting us know in your ways, that you are there when we need a hand, when the road gets a bit rough, when we just wanted a pat on our shoulders. You let us know you are there.

Thank you for being part of the miracles we have experienced this year. We wish you HOPE, LOVE & MORE BEAUTIFUL MIRACLES this Christmas and the New Year to come.
