Discovering Angel

Many weeks have passed and Angel is still adjusting to life without her owner, Salma. And like Salma, she misses her freedom on the streets. Angel is making some improvement - she does not seem as attached to Salma as she previously was and is starting to eat three meals a day! But she still jumps for joy when she sees Salma, although she doesn't cry too much after leaving the home in which Salma is in. Her desperate cries and whines never fail to tug at our heartstrings and bring tears to our eyes. Salma is still missing her Angel. She calls us frequently, begging and pleading with us to discharge her from the home to be with Angel, promising to get a job and to take good care of her guardian Angel.

Angel in her foster home

Last week, Salma called again and sobbed badly into the phone, telling us she misses Angel. Our hearts went out to her once again and we arranged for a friend (CG) to bring Angel to visit Salma. Both were so delighted and after Angel had left the home, Salma called to thank us. We would also like to thank CG for bringing Angel to the home and also for buying biscuits, Kit Kat (Salma's favourite!) as well as for giving Salma some pocket money to buy her favourite snacks at the home.

 As always, Angel is a different dog when she is with Salma. Her eyes come alive!

Also some time last week, we took Angel to Mt Pleasant to see Dr Heng, an eye specialist. We were concerned about the cloudiness in her eyes as well as her wobbly hind legs. Very much to our surprise, Dr Heng estimates Angel to be at least 9 years old! When we first rescued her, the vets at Redhill estimated her to be about 2 or 3 years old since her teeth looked really clean and good. We were extremely shocked that Dr Heng told us that Angel is definitely 9 years old or more, because a dog's eyes don't lie; Angel's eyes have become cloudy due to old age. She has extremely young looking teeth, probably because Salma may have fed her chicken wings and chicken bones, and this gave Angel’s teeth a good regular cleaning.  

Angel's hind legs are weak and wobbly from years of poor nutirtion and lack of proper food

This discovery saddens us greatly as this means both Angel and Salma walked hours each day from Rowell Road to Orchard Road, every day, to while away time for so many years and poor Angel, walking for hours at her age, with no proper food nor nutrition.

Angel was fostered by Ms L for two weeks and we're grateful to Ms L for buying lots of supplements for Angel to beef her up but the years of malnourishment and hard life has taken its toll on her body. Salma, on many occasions, told us that Angel was 12 years old but looking at Angel's teeth, we often felt that Salma had remembered incorrectly. Now we think that she may be right and it pains us to think that Angel has perhaps spent at least 10 years of her life with Salma, only to be separated by us. Did we do the right thing by separating them and putting Salma in the home and taking Angel off the streets, but in the process, causing grief to both parties? We are still hoping to find a home that would allow Angel to live with Salma but as the days go by, our hopes are getting dimmer each day. 

Angel loves human companionship but does not get on well with other dogs, especially those bigger than her! We don’t blame her though. She has spent her entire life living on the streets, with humans, not other animals.

Stay tuned to this blog while we continue to do our best to find the ultimate solution for Angel and Salma.

A Home For Tiger

After surviving the many ordeals life as a stray has thrown at him, Tiger is now ready to go home. This time, however, we have decided that Tiger needs to go to a real home, not the original factory where he came from. A home with family members who will protect him and shower him with love and care. It is hard to imagine how much pain Tiger has been put through and it is too high a risk for him to be returned “home” to be a stray. If we put him back on the streets, chances of Tiger being attacked and injured again are very high due to the scarcity of food and abundance of heavy machinery in the industrial area. Plus the fact that Tiger had been hit by a car previously and his legs won’t carry him as well as they used to. That was probably why he had been in three injuries in four short months.

 The handsome Tiger

Look how nicely Tiger's wound has healed! 

We would like to say big thank you to all who contributed to Tiger’s vet bills, Trempest, June B, Christopher W, and all the other who helped in their own way. His strength has touched many hearts and we are hoping for someone who will take him in. Never again will Tiger have to fight with other dogs for a meal or dodge moving vehicles.

Tiger is obedient and easy to train because he is extremely food-motivated!

Unfortunately we could not find someone to foster Tiger, so he is temporarily being housed in a commercial boarding kennel and the sooner we find him a home, the better it is for him. It also costs us money and these funds could be better spent rescuing and helping other dogs instead.

Despite his age, Tiger behaves like a real baby.

If you know anyone who is able to give Tiger a place in your home and hearts, please contact us immediately. Do take note that Tiger is a mongrel and is not HDB approved. Tiger has no problems getting on with other dogs. He loves company.

Animal Communication Workshops – Empowering People And Animals

  

Learning how to communicate with animals can change your life, like it did for us. Anyone can learn how to do it, whether you are intuitive or logical.

What is Animal Communication?

When some people think of Animal Communication, animal behavior and body language come to mind. However, animal communication goes much deeper than that. It is not about observing the animals’ behavior, like an animal behaviourist. There is a telepathic side that allows for interspecies communication, and you don’t need to be a psychic to master the art of animal communication. Most people do not realize that learning how to communicate with animals is something that everyone is capable of doing - it is inside all of us and your pet is waiting for you to make contact with them. You probably already know it – they pick up your thoughts and feelings all the time.

Animal communication is done telepathically and you will receive this telepathic information from your pet through pictures, sounds, words, feelings, smell or a sense of knowing. This information is helpful in understanding an animal's viewpoints, needs and feelings.

What are the Benefits of Animal Communication?

• It helps you understand or resolve your pet's behavioral or health issues.
•  It helps in understanding and working with abused or abandoned pets. Healing can take place by allowing an animal to share their experience. Imagine if you were trying to tell your family member something about yourself and you were not heard or understood. Animals are usually ever ready and willing to communicate with us. We just need to learn to listen.
• Animal communication is extremely useful in times of a pet’s illness, stress and death - knowing an animal's needs, views and wishes. This respects and honors the animal as an individual, with control over their own destiny.
• Communicate with an animal that has already passed on. This is mainly for to meet your deceased pet, ensure that he is alright, and then have a closure. This can be very healing for everyone involved. Very often much growth takes place during and after these sessions. The animals are often very much looking forward to communicating with their “family” after they have passed on.
• You can communicate with your pets when you are away from home, at work etc – we’ll teach you how.
• It allows you to find out what makes your pet happy, know his favourite activities, favourite food etc

You can also use Animal Communication to find out if your pet is ready to pass on and most of all, it deepens your relationship with your pet like never before.

What You Need to Know in Order to Communicate with Animals?

• You need to believe in your heart that you have the ability to communicate with animals. Everyone can. You don’t need to be a psychic!
• You need to be able to quiet your mind so you can hear what your pet is saying.
• Learning Reiki can be helpful too as it complements your pets’ health.

How Do You Learn More About Animal Communication?

Zeus Communications will be working with renowned Animal Communicator, Ms Rosina Arquati  to bring you a series of Animal Communication workshops and Energy Healing. Ms Rosina is also available for private animal communication sessions during her stint in Singapore.

• Classes are kept small to allow for lots of practice and Q&A
• Pets are not allowed in class as the day might be too long for them and this gives them unnecessary stress. All you need is a clear photograph of your pet.

she said she loved her new bed and
having her own food bowl.

Please note that communicating with animals is not meant to be a substitute for veterinary care; however it can help you understand your pet better and deepen your relationship. Learning how to communicate with animals can be a very rewarding experience, one that you will treasure for a lifetime.



It is amazing what our wise and loving animal companions have to teach and share with us. Truly feeling and respecting an animal in this way reveals such wonderful and insightful information about their lives. They have much to share...it can be so much fun . . .with growth, healing and understanding along the way.

Learn how animal communication can help enhance our relationships with animals, bringing clearer understanding about their needs, behaviors, wishes, humor, wisdom, and purposes in our lives.
