Roti Dog - 12sep 2009

Jannie at Koh-vet found a new place for Roti. The place is called HOPE shelter, set up by Joseph. Its off Lima Kedai, by rubber & palm estate on an acre with simple wood & tin roof shelters for about 200 dogs & ?? cats.

2 care-takers feed & clean after the dogs. It is indeed very basic, and still much to improve, facilities as well as worker skills. This is the best of what can be done so far, and the founder(Joseph) welcomes any help that is offered.

Day1 : Roti was so distraught being at the new place that she refused her fav food of egg !
However, she settled in after a few days, n is now happily lapping up any egg n milk treats that i bring!
Day10
The other dogs r also getting accustomed to my presence, and i try my best to also give e ones nearest to her some treats each time.
Roti seems to like the essential oils (youngliving's therepeutic grade). She also seems to be expectant of the effects of relaxation fr application of the oils ;)
At present, i check up on Roti every alternate day, and also visit on sundays to spend more time + bring her for walks.. n will try to shower her on the next visit. i also try to help a baby dobermann who has balancing problems(goes round in circles).
Last week, Sox & i went on a sunday to wash part of the enclosures & the dog bowls. We also took Roti for a walk outside.
