 in a secluded cafe, an eerie halloween party was unfolding. but just as you dismissed it as another pumpkin and skulls halloween bash, you notice the incredible retro-ness of the people inside. curious, you step in, and...
PAW held our inaugural halloween party last Thursday at Happy Daze Cafe in Serangoon Gardens. Shortly after nightfall, party-goers in retro-licious apparel started to fill the cafe, together with two adorable shih-tzus and a manly retriever. As old halloween flicks played in the background, the crowd wolfed down their eeky eyeball soups and bloody lamb shanks together with endless mugs of beers.

 On Sunday, the East Coast Park is a popular destination for pet owners,and the area of tents set up by the SPCA was full of them on 5th October.
World Animal Day kicked off quickly. Dogs socialized around us as PAW set up our Whale Shark exhibit. Children attempted the quizzes on whale sharks and more than a few came away with glowing reports.
The black t-shirts we had for sale were snapped up - passer-bys were attracted to the appealing whale shark motif and the "Save the Whale Sharks" slogan. We chatted with the people and it seemed that many felt dismay at the plight of the whale sharks. A few kind souls liked the T shirts so much they bought them for their whole family.
It might have rained around noon, but the emcee kept spirits high, and the owners had reason to get excited because the Best Kept Pet contest was underway. Onlookers feasted their eyes on exotic breeds like the Samoyed, a majestic white dog from Siberia.
There was even an appearance by MTV VJ Utt. The well known entertainment figure looked tired, but he was all smiles when he signed SPCA posters for the eager crowd. He even stopped by our booth to take pictures in his very own whale shark tee.
With Utt gracing our booth with his presence and a compliment from the head of the SPCA Deirdre Moss on our good sales, it was a memorable World Animal Day indeed. Memorable, also, thanks to the many adorable animals that we saw trotting about, brought by their proud owners, some of whom dressed their pets up and posed them for photos with the onlookers. We're looking forward to World Animal Day 2009 already! |

SMU-YWCA Childrens' Day Outing! |
 Besides animals, PAW loves children too! On 27th September, we brought a group of 20 children from Young Womens' Christian Association of Singapore (YWCA) for a Childrens' Day outing. The day started with a visit to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) animal adoption pound. The children were happy, of course, to see so many dogs and cats and to have the chance to play with them. Admist all that, they also asked very important questions. Simple, but important. "Why are the animals here?"
Irresponsible and selfish pet owners, I was tempted to say. But that would be sweeping. The SPCA trip turned out fruitful, we taught them to be kind to animals and to be responsible pet owners in the future. After that, we headed back to school for Macs lunch and to watch Madagascar - an interesting and funny cartoon that teaches children that animals belong to the wild and captivity can drive them crazy. Then, we took some photos, gave them a pretty goodie bag and we said our good-byes.
So, what do children and animals have in common? Well, for one, they're really adorable and innocent. And although they can be naughty sometimes (okay, a lot of times), you know you can count on them to express love with abandon - love for everything, big or small, young or old, human or animal.
