A MIBO Update

A warm hello to all MIBO Fans,

I thought that I should take a little time to sincerely thank everyone and every dog, cat, and rabbit that has come through our doors. The experience in the past 5 years (!!!) has been amazing. There have been ups and downs, mostly enjoyable moments and some heart-breaking losses. You have been with me (us) all this time and friendships have been formed. For that, a little appreciation is in order don't you think? ;)

For the Month of May 2012, if you are an existing customer, we are rewarding you! :D

Find out more when you book with us. So plan far ahead in advance!

New things to note in 2012:

Our boarding rates have been adjusted since September 2011, existing clients have till end of March 2012 to enjoy their current rate. From 1st April 2012, dog boarding rates are $38 to $40/day for small/medium breeds. $45 for large breeds. (This rate is for sterilised dogs).


There is no change for cat boarding at $25/day


We will be scaling back operations gently in 2012: we are looking to some changes in the year ahead; good ones! So bear with us while we go through this new phase:


We will be giving more priority to existing clients, especially traditionally peak seasons, as their pets are used to our environment and we do enjoy seeing familiar faces. But I do stress (again) to plan ahead, so as to be fair to the others who may be kept on a waiting list (you know how anxious it is when there is no place for your pets!).


New clients, you're not left out! I sincerely apologise if you can't get to stay with us when you do ask, but please keep trying. We do take in a few new faces, even over the popular seasons, just so you know :)


For Christmas 2012 we will require that all clients make a 50% deposit upon booking their spaces. This will be non-refundable. This is to ensure that the booking/confirmation process is fair and available for all.


Once again, thank you to each and every one of you - from the bottom of our furry paws!

MIBO Travels!

Soooo... what have YOU been up to the past month or so? 

Christmas? 

New Year? 

Feasting in between, and all that merry making? 

Well, we have been out and about Singapore. Part sanity for them, partly for us :D 

Here's a re-cap of where we were (at some point or other):

Scott & Roxy @ Bukit Batok Road

Nikki & Ronnie @ Marina Bay Link Mall 

 Moiselle @ West Coast Park

What's down there?

I don't wanna go there...

... you can't make me.

Watching the squirrels by the pond. This is MUCH better!

Skimp & Scamp:

@ Tank Road

 and @ Oxley Road

You don't suppose they have an ERP rate for dogs? :P

Zoey @ Albert Winsemius Lane

Leon & Ceasar @ Bukit BatokNature Park

Buster & Cosmo @ Jurong Central Park 

Buster: "Hey, fancy a game of Ludo?
We are in Ludo Garden after all!"

Cosmo: " Dude, we need 2 more players!"
Happy Buster: "It's ok then; we'll find something else to do."
Cosmo (thinking aloud): "what is HE on?"

How about rolling in the grass?

C'mon! It's fun!

After all that travelling, am going to to put my feet up. See you in the next New Year. The Dragon one! :D

R(oada) & R(ockie)

Remember Roada? Yup he's now a bigger kitten :) Still with the same loving personality, but can play crazy with people!

Checking the world outside

Roada doesn't really know what to do with this toy - let Rockie (right) show you how it's done!

Although they are both from different owners, they get along just fine. They can can mingle and interact without any problems. It doesn't suit all cats, but when it works out, it's just great to see :)

From a personal view, Rockie is still the leader here. Mostly because he's older and his previous home was as a neighbourhood cat.

Check out Rockie's :P tongue!

Are you done with that?

George

This is George of the Urban Jungle. He's a 9 year old Norwegian Forest Cat and at first when we met he was all aloof and quiet. I didn't think I would get a great welcome with meows and "I will follow you around"s :) He's a big snuggle kitty and response well to attention given. 

Now if only he will let me brush him...  

Handsome George!

The toe-sniff test. Phew! I passed :D

An Unlikely Friendship

Some dogs are just not good with others. Roxy is good with all dogs. Linda, not so. So when these 2 come in, we keep them apart. But Roxy has other things in mind: 

Like hogging the sofa! But Linda is Queen (or so she thinks!) and also wants the coveted red seat. So what to do?

It's this thing called SHARE. You take that end, and I'll stay on this side. Dogs are amaze us all the time :D Good girls!

Happy

As his name goes, Happy is as happy can be! This cutie Pomeranian has a character all of his own. His friend is Ronnie but quite different from him. Happy talks a bit, spins crazy circles, "smiles" at you and is generally a bouncy chap. 君はいい子です!

Ratatouille to Happy: "Dude, you have alot of hair!"

Jolly Holly & Seriously Angel

"Young lady, sit up straight!" But this is how Holly is. The fact that she is sitting still must be given credit for! As mentioned, she is Jolly Holly. Not too difficult for a 7 month old puppy! Everyone is a friend whom she will shower kisses on. Whether they reciprocate is a different matter altogether. But Holly keeps on trying :D

How can you not fall in love with THOSE eyes? Her mama calls them her "Love me more" eyes. Really!

Next to Holly, Angel is looking like a grouch. Nah, she's concentrating hard on the ONE kibble I'm holding behind the camera! How else am I gonna keep her still?! And this is the Beagle who has recently injured her foot and has an official MC from the vet to restrict movement. Well, no one told her!

Maybe this pix can convince the vet? Look at me - I'm STILL as can be!

Mika & Shadow

Meet Mika. Like most (if not all) pugs, she thinks she's Queen of the sofa! She doesn't even care if Phoebe is lying there - we found her sleeping next to Phoebe's butt one night. It was a perfect picture shot. With no camera at hand!

And this is Shadow, Mika's sister: She's cautious, but curious at the same time. As she's only a young puppy, curiosity usually wins. Check out her blurred tail from wagging :) Moments after this, we were pounced on by Shadow.

p/s this post is waaaaaay overdue!
