Two Companies Are Using The Power Of Puppies To Feed Rescue Pups And It’s Adorable

The YouTube channel SoulPancake teamed up with Purina Puppy Chow 

and found the cutest way to feed pups in need. For every view of the video

 above, Purina will donate one pound of Puppy Chow to Rescue Bank, 

a non-profit that donates food to animal welfare organizations. Purina will

 donate up to 500,000 pounds of food.

That’s a lot of kibble!

To help, all you have to do is watch the video above a couple thousand

 times – and really, why wouldn’t you? It’s full of puppies! Like the video

 proves, puppies make even the most boring of days absolutely amazing.

Hot Weather

HOT

"Hi auntie, Can I get any vegetable? You may give me anytime."I asked my neighbor who is a farmer that sells fresh veggie at our company's quarters. "Sorry we don't have veggie currently. All die due to hot weather and insufficient water" the auntie told me. "Oh ya... The weather is too hot indeed. There's no raining for a very long time. Then it's ok auntie, TQVM"  I answer.

Whoa...... In all my life, this month is definitely the hottest weather ever that I can remember. Even if to compare during foot marching under the hot sun in the middle of concrete field of Padang Kawad while I was in SUKSIS. If not for the whatapp info I really didn't know it is actually equinox phenomena where plane of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun. Summed up with little rain for the past few months, and no rain at all the last 3 weeks no wonder the hottest is unusually hot. Luckily our place surrounded by oil palm plantation making the night not so hot and the road shaded by the palm tree, plus it is quite windy at our place.

Usually I will not turn on the ceiling fan at the living room as I think it wasting electric even I didn't have to pay the bill (it is free for staff). But this time I opt to on the fan and let the hot air flow away, eventhough I'm in bedroom.

The water in a bowl that I put in office to moisturize the room also dry up just in 2 days (during weekend where I let the window open purposely), instead of a week normally.

The pile of water in bathroom still hot when I want to use it in the evening, even though it is not expose to sunlight.

Mum said a farmer sell his duck cheaply for only RM10/ 1.5 kg duck. Which I think might because of the hot weather that he might not afford to take care of them. Some said cow industry also affected.

I am lucky to live in company's quarters where we have enough facilities to store water for daily consumption. Compare to the surrounding village where the water is insufficient for daily use such as washing and bathing. Many gives up on gardening as insufficient water is not only the issue, the small veggie won't survive after the blazing sun. Even big trees such as banana tree and oil palm wilt with yellow leaves.

I also not allow my cats to sit on my lap (Usually I am the one who really want their companion) as it feel so suffocate in this hot weather and they them self also generate heat.

After lunch during my walk to office from house, I pass a construction site that makes new school. I wonder if they still working under the hot sun or do they working indoor such as painting the building or etc. I take glimpse along the way but cannot guess since they must still in rest time after lunch. It's really hot, but luckily the it's windy to countervail the hot weather. I pity those labors (including my mum) and I hope their preserves and hard work earn barakah for every penny of their salary. Even though I just walk for 4 minutes using big/ shaded umbrella, the hot weather is felt stingy.

May this hot weather end sooner and back to normal. May we learn and repent of what happen from it.

• Save energy, water and sources. When they are insufficient we feel waste to use every drop.
• Plants/forest are important and the lesser the plant the hotter the village/town.
• A good weather is a blessing and rezeki, never can be count the blessing from Allah indeed.
• I always wonder how it rough in the dessert where there are not much plant, pond or river.
• Ask dua for better weather.

Note: When I was a kid, I used to watch national geographic where it shows drought season where the animals live. There's an episode showing a place where it didn't rain for 12 years. Most animals and plants die and the oasis crowded with thirsty animals making the situation rough and full of competition. I cry allot especially seeing an elephant using his leg to collect dried grass (it's root mainly) full of sand and eat it. When mum came she asks what I'm doing, I told her the animals are pitiful luckily we are here with enough water. T.T

Rodent Management :3

Shelters Keep Homeless Cats Alive By Giving Them Jobs

If ever there were a natural-born career for cats, it would be in the rodent management industry.

So why are shelters across the country teeming with unemployed cats?

FACEBOOK/THE ANIMAL RESCUE SITE

They comprise more than half the roughly 3 million animals euthanized in shelters every year. And if those cats happen to have issues — like taking a turn for the feral — the odds of living a long happy life get even slimmer.

Which is what inspired SpokAnimal, a Washington state rescue organization, to come up with the rather creative notion of matching cats to their calling.

The program, called Farm Livin', pairs shelter cats with people who own farms, warehouses or any property dealing with mouse issues, and gives these unwanted, discarded, supposedly doomed cats their dream job: mouse management.

FACEBOOK/THE ANIMAL RESCUE SITE

No, it likely doesn't end well for mice. But for the more than 1,700 felines admitted to the program since June 2009, it's a lifeline.

And who doesn't love the sight of someone who has finally found her true calling?

Just look at this cat, guarding his new castle.

FACEBOOK/THE ANIMAL RESCUE SITE

Along the way, these cats are spayed, neutered, given vaccinations and, most importantly, given more than food and lodging out of this gig.

They waste no time finding their way into the hearts of their employers.

Or, we should say, new families.

FACEBOOK/THE ANIMAL RESCUE SITE

SpokAnimal is looking to grow its program and work with shelters across the country to find jobs for every death row cat.

Here's how you can start a Farm Livin' program in your area.

• This is a repost from the dodo.com : https://www.thedodo.com/rescue-cats-farms-1671053077.html
• Animals are precious, they are Allah's creature that give allot of benefit and help to human. They provide us food, labor, helps in food chain, happiness and allot more to list. 
• As long the animals did not harm or potentially kill you, show them compassion.
• In the company that I work, we did give the jobless cats a position as troops in rodent management. All thanks to my kind hearted friend Ms Dyanna who generously accept the strays. But actually it was us that need and job hunting the kittens. Ms Dyanna feed them once daily, and the cats naturally hunting at night. The female will get spayed to control its population and allowing more strays to get the job. 
• This method is also recommended by a visiting vet. He said that cats are the most suitable and efficient to be use for rodent management rather than poison or trap. Cat does not have much health issues that can effect barn animals or human. While poison may harm the barn animals, environment and human. Trap on the other hand are less effective, fussy to handle and possible transferring disease when not handle properly. 
• In my experience living with many (12-5 cats, currently 5). I never encounter mouse problem and my neighborhood thank Ms Tiger (my cat) for her good job as a rodent management officer. I think all the mouse has been reduced greatly that she didn't bring any for the last half year. 
• May this method can be example for others to give compassion to animals and gain benefit from them. It is a win-win relationship, and in this world, we really need each other.
• A dog too, can be a good and loyal security. 
• May those who kind gain blessing and rezeki for the good did.
• Save the strays.

Its Your Mum or Me ?!

The world with cat

Last week mum visit and spend 7 days with me. As always, my not socialize cats little bit afraid of mum. This is mum's second visit, so Lion, Tiger and Olen little bit chill than the prior visit. Cheetah however is still not able to get close to other human. During mum visit Botak (mum's cat that she gave me since he keep hunting life chickens at kampung) is on heaven able to meet his love ones, Lion and Olen also quite happy to know mum is another person that can feed them, Tiger on the other hand still little bit insecure and just watch mum from far and spend her time mostly outside. Cheetah however couldn't accept the presence of other human in our house and didn't back for two days interval. When he back, I have to close the cat door to force him finish his food before he leaving. 

However after mum back, Cheetah still not back for about 9 days. I'm quite worry and search for him at the back yard and the old store house afraid if he trapped as what happened to Babu. However the next day when I back from work, he loudly (He has the most loud voice among my cats) greeting me. I feel very happy and grateful that Cheetah is back. I check if he has any injury and turn out he is all fine. We took few snap of selfie but cheetah is too hungry for that and immediately went eating at the bowl.

Selfie with Mr Cheetah

On 10th days, I spotted a small (about 2cm diameter) wound at his butt and put ointment on it. As what happened during mum first visit where Cheetah only back after he got burned pow. It seems his principle wont allow him to live under a roof with mum and he willing to leave the house temporarily and only back when he is injured. 

Cheetah is not independent cat. He not good in mousing and didn't like eat mouse (among all my cats only Tiger did hunting). Also in my neighborhood there are many stray dogs which makes searching leftover seems impossible and dangerous for a cat. 

I keep worry if my cat didn't back for few days which makes 9 days is way too long. During mum visit I did introduce mum to all my cats but when mum doing housework such as grinding or sweeping, the cats thought mum is aggressive human. Mum love cats but she is too busy to persuade or entertain the cats. Now all seems used to mum except Cheetah where it seems he makes me to choose between him or mum. Huhu..  Ill do better next time and makes Cheetah to accept mum. Cheetah, why cant we just be happy! 

p/s: I am the happiest when mum came. Really hope if only mum just stay with me forever. Above-all I'm grateful for mum visit and another chance to create memory with mum. Alhamdulillah =D

This Could Lead to Misunderstanding @^@

Example 1: Misunderstanding occur when you trapped in bad timing where human tend to think logically based on what he saw

Example 2: Misunderstanding occur because of human limitation to only able see things in certain limit of distance

Yesterday I've been alone in bio lab since my friend take leaves for few days. It’s a busy day since morning to 5pm with the many samples to check, making agar, washing apparatus while many stock solution must be prepare. Anyway, I never feel bad as I love biology very much and I enjoy doing lab work than paper work only. hehe

After lunch, I start doing autoclaving, boiling agar, packing agar and uv-ing lamina flow to disinfect before pouring agar later. After inserting 16 packs of petridish into the lamina flow, I switch on the UV lamp and reach to my phone to set-up timer. Walking to my office to wait for the UV, I saw a new message, "Eh, why didn't I heard the phone ringing?". I turn on mobile data when suddenly a weird ringing come out from my phone after a new whatapp message come in. "no wonder I didn't hear the sound, it changed unknowingly to a short sound".

Knowing the notification sound is too short and weak, I try to find another sound that is louder. Since I was busy, I plan to use any loud sound rather than searching for the sound that I usually use. That because it is more complicated and I didn't remember it's name. So I try 3 sounds after randomly scrolling and choosing.

While I immersed choosing the sound, suddenly I heard the lab door opened. Looking from the glass window I saw a man wearing a plain shirt. I stood up from my chair went outside when I saw the man is actually our director, precisely one of the biggest shareholder in the company or the second highest rank in our multinational company.

I welcome him with good evening, and he starts conversation asking about machine in lab. I told him this and that. I found out that the director is quite a humble man.

What make I almost burst into laughter is, when I immersed choosing loud ringtone, coincidentally big boss was coming. He may misunderstood that I’m playing phone without knowing 5 minutes before that Im working busily since morning and that I actually taking breath waiting for the lamina flow to finish uv-ing and there will be bunch of work after that! Just a few second it may make a bad impression.

Anyway that not what is matter, it just a quite coincident to make me think out of blue.

• Sometimes we want this but we got that- Allah know what is best
• We work hard but people may not see- Allah see and reward everything
• People may misunderstood due to human limitation- Allah know everything, everything happen for a reason and He is the All-knowing and Wise.
• Sometimes even you work hard, destiny play it part- No regret when tawakkal in heart.

So behave ourself sincerely,  even sometimes misunderstanding might occur that peoples interpret differently. Be sincere, honest, humble, kind and workhard for yourself, family and make work as ibadah. Give your best in any way. All praises to Allah that all blessing is from Him, and pleasing the Creator is priority.

Sometimes things are just obvious, he is what he always be =P

Note: 
*In the end my boss seems didn't misunderstood as we just talk normally, or he may just a kind and humble     man.
*It is a blessing that throughout my carer from being a part timer until now all the bosses that I work with         are those who kind, humble and caring. Alhamdulillah..
