Brownie has left this world…
I just received the heartbreaking news today…
My Brownie boy is gone… 💔

Brownie and Abby came into my life on 5 September 2021, when their owner was pregnant and needed someone to care for them long-term. What started as boarding turned into something so much more. Over the years, Brownie slowly became my boy, my family, one of my pack.

I still remember the first time I went to pick him up. He had to be muzzled because he wanted to attack me. I was so scared. But when we reached my place, I told him I would be caring for him and asked him to trust me. The moment I removed his muzzle, he became the sweetest boy. Who would have thought that fierce boy would eventually become such a manja boy with me?

Walking him was always an adventure. I was basically the kite he flew because he loved to tug and run. I’ll never forget the day he came running back towards the car porch, pulling me along by his leash, only to suddenly brake on the slippery floor after the rain. He slipped, and I came tumbling down after him like a car crash. 😂 One of those crazy memories I’ll always remember and laugh about.

When Abby passed away, Brownie became even more attached to me. Even after he left my care on 28 May 2024, I continued checking in with his owner to see how he was doing. Because once you’ve loved a dog like your own, you never really stop caring.

And now, at 12 years old, he’s gone… I never imagined receiving this news would hurt this much. Although he wasn’t technically my dog, he was one of mine. The years we shared will always mean so much to me, and a part of my heart will always belong to him.

Brownie, thank you for trusting me that very first day. Thank you for all the love, the laughter, the crazy walks and the beautiful memories. Thank you for letting me be part of your life.

Run free now, my Brownie boy. Go find Abby and run together again across the rainbow bridge. No more worries, just the freedom to run as fast as your heart desires.

Jie jie loves you, my boy.
Till we meet again…

A part of my pack…
Forever a part of my heart. 🐾

POV: Hooman finally took the four of us out to the park!

Nakhon: GRASS! SMELLS! MORE SMELLS!! BEST. DAY. EVER. (Hooman had to drag me away. I WASN’T DONE SNIFFING!!) 😂

Chok Dee: Hold on. Let me observe for 10 seconds first. Okay, looks good! Time to sniff and explore!

Potato: The grass, the fresh air… why is outside so exciting?! In a good mood that finally he allowa hooman to take a pic of him without him facing here and there

Penny: OMG WHAT’S THAT?! WHAT’S THIS?! MUST SNIFF EVERYTHING!! Posing for the camera seconds before zoomies!

4 senior citizens, 4 different personalities, 1 very busy hooman. 🤣

10/10. Would sniff again. 🐾❤️

Apparently nothing in life is free. We have to give mummy our kisses first, then we get our massage session before taking a nice long nap. 😂

Mid-Autumn was yesterday, but our human was busy being busy… so our mooncakes had to wait.

A little late, but definitely worth the wait. 😍

This year, Haru decided to join our little mooncake party too and she brought her husband, Haku, along. 🐱🤎🐱

Thanks,My Pet Canteen, for making sure we didn’t miss out. 🐾❤️

Our morning, in order:

eat breakfast at 06:30am
some of us require room service.
some require the bowl to be held at the correct height.
some require personal assistance because apparently the food doesn’t move itself.

fresh pampers.
then porch time.
then our daily massage appointment.

We may be getting older,
but our mornings are still pretty good. ❤️

It’s been a while, hoomans….
Did you miss us? We missed you too… probably. 😂

Life lately has mostly been naps, meals, little walks, waiting for pawrent, supervising everything pawrent does and, of course, our twice-daily treat time.

There are still sleepy mornings, random barking, cuddles and being summoned for absolutely no reason. Basically, life with us never really stops. 🐶

Today’s treat was a little different. We tried Natural Core apple lolipop And yes, we approved. Very much.

Pawrent says we’re getting older, but we say we’re just becoming more experienced at getting what we want. ❤️

WHAT DOES DEMENTIA LOOK LIKE FOR PENNY?

When people hear “dementia,” they often imagine a dog who no longer has a good quality of life.

But Penny has taught me that it isn’t always that simple.

Sometimes she walks around for hours, seemingly unsure of where she wants to go.

Sometimes she gets confused.
Sometimes she struggles to settle, even when she’s clearly tired.
Sometimes I have to gently put her on her bed and help her understand that it’s time to rest.

But then…

She eats with excitement.
She loves to sniff.
She enjoys being outside with the pack.
She finds a cosy spot and sleeps.
She has little moments where she is completely, wonderfully Penny. 🤍

And sometimes she simply lies down by herself and falls asleep — and those moments make me so happy.

Her world may be changing, but her life isn’t over.

I want to share Penny’s journey because I hope people will see that a dog with dementia can still have comfort, happiness, routines, love and good quality of life.

We just have to learn to see the world a little differently through their eyes.

Our 8am morning routine ☀️🐾

Nakhon and Chok Dee: “Don’t disturb me, I’m enjoying the sun.”
Potato: “Can we go back inside after I pee?”
Penny: “I need to walk around and check everything.”

Four dogs, four different ideas of what “outdoor time” means.

Pawmom just has to follow everyone’s schedule.❤️

🐾 MEET PENNY. 🤍

Penny once had a family of her own. Due to unforeseen circumstances, her owner became unwell and could no longer care for her, so we started looking for another home where she could continue to be loved.

I found Penny a home in KL, where she went for a two-week trial. Unfortunately, she was returned after a vet visit raised concerns that she may be showing early signs of canine cognitive dysfunction — dementia in dogs.

By then, I knew that shelter life might not be the right place for this senior girl.

So Penny came back to me. For now, I’ll be caring for her myself, at my own expense, while we see what the future holds for her.

Penny is 10 years old now. She may be a little slower these days. Her legs can be shaky, her eyes aren’t what they used to be, and sometimes she gets confused.

But she is still Penny.

She still loves her food.
She still loves to sniff.
She still enjoys being with the pack.
She still enjoys her little routines.

And she still has so much love and life in her.

I’ll be sharing more of Penny’s journey here at JJ K9 Retreat. The good days, the difficult days, and what life with a senior dog living with dementia can really look like.

Because growing old doesn’t mean life stops being worth living.

Welcome to Penny’s second chapter.❤️

⚠️URGENT FOSTER / FOREVER HOME NEEDED⚠️
Location : Kuala Lumpur

They don’t know they were abandoned. They only know the people they loved never came back. 💔

Meet Hailey 🤍 and Bailey 🧡.

Hailey about 1 - 2 year old was found sitting in the exact same spot for hours, quietly waiting… as if she still believed her family would come back for her. She was frightened, confused, and heartbroken.

Bailey is only about a year old. Somehow, despite everything she’s been through, she still walks up to people hoping for love. She hasn’t stopped believing that humans are kind.

They were found in a place with “Do Not Feed Cats” signs. They are believed to have been abandoned there.

These girls aren’t street cats. They were once someone’s babies. They don’t know how to survive outside. They don’t know where to find food, where to hide from danger, or why the people they trusted disappeared.
They don’t know what they did wrong.
One day they had a home.
The next day they were treated like they meant nothing.

They have now been spayed and will be discharged this Sunday.
The rescuer’s home is already full and she has nowhere else to keep them.

If no foster or adopter comes forward by Sunday, they will have to be released back to the same place they were found.

Can you imagine finally feeling safe again… only to be put back onto the streets where nobody wants you?

Every cat deserves to know that when they fall asleep tonight, they’ll wake up in the same loving home tomorrow. Hailey and Bailey don’t have that certainty.

Please don’t let their second chance end before it even begins.

If you can foster, adopt, or even share this post, you could be the reason they never have to wonder why they were left behind ever again.

Please reach out to Joey Ooi if ur able to foster or give them a forever home….
