Comments on: The Sound of Music https://pummkin.net/2009/06/the-sound-of-music/ I'm not here, I'm underwater...! Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:34:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Dr. Gorman https://pummkin.net/2009/06/the-sound-of-music/#comment-25542 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:34:31 +0000 http://pummkin.net/?p=703#comment-25542 MAE, what a spectacular prayer!! I agree that suffering must have a ‘hidden gift’ within. I believe our hard times mold us into the creature God needs us to be, for our work here on earth and eventually in heaven.

The new website is great, Pam! Next time I view it I will sign up for updates.

I’m sitting here with my own rescued cat in my lap and thanking God that “when one flower blooms, it is spring everywhere.”

You and Sabrina is a beacon of hope for many of us who deeply questioned the existence of God when there are so much cruelties are taking place. Looks like our questions were answered. It is not a dead end for humanity. There’s a bit of ‘Sabrina’ in all of us.

Those who deals with rescuing wounded and broken strays are compelled to despair at times; when we cannot save the ones we tried so hard to save. But then again those who had seen the miracle happens when the wounded and broken healed, happy and healthy…is like feeling the presence of God in all Its’ glory. I suspect you feel the same when you sit next to the once you rescued from the swamp in the boat on the journey to land.

Thank you for your praise. There are so many faceless, nameless independent rescuers out there. Not for money or gain or fame. Truth is; we are tired of being passive by-standers to the plights innocent defenseless strays. The pain that pricked our hearts and consciences when we see pets being abandoned at highways, carpark, foodcourts, back alleys, drains, dustbins,jungle, abandoned houses, …we can’t ignore it. We have to be pro-active. There is no system available to protect defenseless strays.

Pam, you are bestowed with a wonderful gift; when all this is over, as this phase too shall come to pass… You should write, anything a book a novel or commission a film. (Though making into a film what took place this past month will likely be a deranged espionage movie). We are your biggest fan and supporters; we come to love and admire you.

“The ball is in your court” our dearest Pam.

No matter what names they call you; devil, satan. We know once in a while God sent angels to walk amongst us; to me to are an angel. Been touched by an angel before and it changed my life completely. Became a stray rescuers because of my wonderful vet; she made it all possible. You are an angel the way to stand up for Sabrina when most people would choose to walk away rather than get involve as the stakes are high.

Signing off with an Irish blessing when ‘real suffering is where the contradictions within us harmonize, where they give us to new streams of life or beauty. As the Zen monk said: ‘When one flowers blooms, it is spring everywhere.’

“May you be blessed in the holy names of those who carry our pain up the mountain of transfiguration.

May you know tender shelter and healing blessing when you are called to stand in place of pain.

May the places of darkness within you be surprised by light.

May you be granted the wisdom to avoid false resistance and when suffering knocks on the door of your life, may you be able to glimpse its hidden gift.

May you be able to see the fruits of your suffering.

May memory bless and shelter you with the hard-earned light of past travail, may this give you confidence and trust.

May a window of light always surprise you.
May the grace of transfiguration heal your wounds.
May you know that even the storm might rage not a hair of your head will be harmed.”

Pam, we will keep you close in our hearts and prayers always.

And thanks God for keeping the good things coming!

p/s: It may be possible to bring Kuning and Hitam on stage but first thing is you may need to talk and arrange with the organiser.

I’m not worthy of your praises & truly, the honour is mine to have you giving us the encouragement & support. I would really like to meet all of you some time!!!

Mae, I’m sorry about the demise of the wonderful vet as I did read about her passing last year. It’s amazing how God brings people together and Sabrina being there to have her dogs treated is now a testimony that you can tell the world. I remember many cases that she had been on top of when she put animal welfare above her job. I’m glad that her work is finally recognised and what’s more, by AnimalAsia.org’s Jill Robinson too! Your 30 animals per person is a real task!! Independent rescuers like you are truly worthy of commend and praise!!! You are doing a far greater job than any ORG which collects donations to honour the dead dogs that they put down.

Tara, I’m building the new website together with Jon for FFF so that we would have a calendar of events & all things official on that site. From there, my blog will be something of my personal opinion and not that of FFF’s official voice. Right now, everyone is coming here to read my take & I am not letting up on anything that might implicate all of us involved. Please go to http://www.furryfriendsfarm.org and register as a member for official updates. We’ve been working on it and it’s still under construction.

To tell you of some of the challenges that we faced, we realised that even our web domain was hijacked. Furryfriendsfarm.com used to be ours but it fell into somebody’s hands soon as it expired. So we registered a .org. Now why would anyone want our web address if not for a direct attempt of sabotage?

Janice, when a male dog tries to hump another male, it’s a sign of wanting to dominate. When the male dog(Kuning) that is being dominated lets the other male dog (Hitam) mount him, it’s a sign of submission too. So it’s actually quite funny to watch them. Hitam loves Kuning but keeps Kuning in check for Kuning behaves like a puppy still. I’m redoing the video to include the music, please wait for that. Afraid that these two will not be present for the concert as many places do not allow dogs. 🙁

Err, but i don’t like how Hitam “hug” Kuning in the video (“The Noah in You”) 🙂

Great job to Kuning and Hitam……

It has been an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to know someone like you. You restore our faiths in humanity. God willing we will meet one day.

Our connection with Sabrina is very special. Used to see her at our late beloved vet. Seen the animals she rescue at the vet. But she is always in a hurry as she come from so far from where we are. We didn’t have the chance to speak.

Sabrina has a blessing of truly an Angel in the form of truly a beautiful soul; our beloved vet who died last year; (she sacrifices herself to save her children in a landslide; her beloved pet dog dies with her.) Became aware of Sabrina work at our beloved vet funeral. We figure if our beloved vet thinks Sabrina is good person and so do we; we trust her judgment completely.

When we heard is doing the rescue work to get banished dogs out; Our first thoughts were; Sabrina needs the ‘muscles’. So, we will provide the ‘muscles’ i.e. funds or any other ways. (That will never stop).

We anticipated that there will those who fight her efforts all the way. True enough; what we fear came true; through the incidents that took place this past month.

We can’t be where you are in person as we have commitments; most of us do pet rescue, spay/nueter,re-home, care for i.e. 30 animals per person; our hands are full. We all meet at the vet. We too have to earn the dough so we can continue to contribute to FFF. We know Sabrina will be alright as she in good hands. Besides; a beautiful Angel brought our paths together; Sabrina FFF’s will always be blessed.

Re the concert EXCELLENT IDEA!. Please post the flyer/poster on your blog, Pam. We do the necessary; same as we do when Kuning went missing. Perfect gifts to family and friends ‘ a great evening out’. Can’t wait.

http://mycause.cimbfoundation.com/index.aspx

It’s CIMB Foundation MYCAUSE Contest. Participating is simple. 4 simple steps…

1. Find a worthy cause, and snap a photo of it. Or snap 5 photos of it.

2. Register for the competition.

3. Give the cause a title, and write a short description of it.

4. Upload your photos and you’re done.

Pam, perhaps you and TV Smith should give it a try too… 🙂
