This morning my dad handed me a letter and when I looked at the envelope, it's from Canada and from a person name Bruce Chan. I am surprised as I do not know anybody from Canada, maybe there is but I can't remember. So without delay, I opened it and out of my surprise there is a small check amounted 50USD together with a small note.
Bruce, if you are reading this and since you did not include your email in the letter, I just wanted to thank you so much for the donation. The funds mostly will be used on food, diapers and kitchen towels. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the check to be cleared in my account, by then I will add it up together with the balance of the current fund.
Oh my god! Just look at all the toys in the above video clip. That's a lot for everyone in the house and they came all the way from England. Thank You so much Phil, Christina and Sooty ( the black kitty in the picture ). Phil got to know me after he saw Alera's video clips on youtube and decided to help me by donations, but I told him I am doing fine at the moment as the funds for Alera is still enough. Out of my surprise, he mailed me and mentioned he bought a lot of toys and will be sending them to me instead, well not to me exactly but to all my furry kitties and doggies, that's great! I will bring some to the shelter and share them with the shelter kitties as well as he has told me to do so in his last few emails. The magazine inside the package is awesome and full of informations about cats and it is not cheap if I buy it locally. Toys aren't that cheap either. Anyway hope you will enjoy the video, pictures coming soon.
I have used part of Alera's fund to aid the recent Shanghai 860 rescued cats by their local animal activist. You can read more about the rescue here and the photos here on Care2.com forum. If you have any spare money left even as little as 5 dollars would make a difference towards these poor sentient beings. The donations will go to Misha Foundation and the person you should contact to is Rosa and the email is on the attached photo above.

Finally after 5 days spent in the vet, Mimi finally got home. I brought her for spaying and now she is fixed. I have to separate her from the rest as the thread is still in the tummy. Surprisingly when she stepped in the house yesterday, Ah Black wasn't very happy and smelled her all over and showing his teeth and making sound.
But today they seems to be okay with each other but I have to separate them for a while until the vet take off the thread by next week. Currently Mimi is sharing the Papi's cage, what I meant by sharing is when Papi is out Mimi goes in. Whenever Papi is out, everyone goes in, ha ha. The vet told me by next week he will take off the thread and by that time both of them will be back to normal and able to play together again! Yippee. The first photo on top is kind of funny when I started to shoot Mimi, thought of sharing and she seemed of saying 'bah'!
A month has passed and Papi is getting better, not the urinating part but overall she is happy to be in the family. She got taller, active and nosier. I tried very hard to train her to go potty in the toilet but no luck, sometimes she got it right, other times you can see poop in the living room. I started to use spray bottle to spray her whenever she barks, just to get the message in her head that she is not supposed to bark, this is the problem living in a small apartment where you are surrounded with neighbor who doesn't love animals.
Urinating problem still going on and I have bought some baby diapers, the disposable ones, surprisingly they are cheaper than the pet diapers. All I have to do is cut a little hole so that Papi's tail can come out. By the way, the reason I use 'Papi' is because she responded better when I called her Papi instead of Disney :) . I hope Nikki won't mind about this.
Papi is a very playful puppy and she has sharp teeth and nails. She loves to bite everything including Mimi and Ah Black. This is why Ah Black and Mimi don't like her very much, she is just too playful and rough. Bobo and Lulu did attack her once a while as she didn't realize Bobo is blind and Lulu is having a bad arthritis all these while and doesn't like to be disturbed anymore.
I have a very tight schedule to keep up since Papi arrival in the family and I have not been to the shelter for almost 2 weeks now, I hope everything is ok there. Will go and help out tomorrow. Papi is having vegetarian diet as long as she is still staying here, the same diet as Bobo and Lulu are having daily which is the Zen Vegetarian Holistic Formula from Addiction and she loves every bite of it. The great news about this brand is the food is for all stages which means puppy and elderly doggies can have it.
