Its been  a tough year ,what with the loss of Paddy and many illnesses along the way,especially at this moment,as we have nine dogs on  medication. So lots of vets visits. Thank you for all your continued support,without your help we could not do what we do. A big thank you to all of our…

Little Nipper has had a honking cough for sometime now,all sorts of things have been tried to get rid of it,but to no avail. It got so bad a few days back,Mino took him off to the vets again. This time he had an xray,and it turns out he has a collapsed trachea. He has…

Our Vet arrived bright and early on Saturday morning,she recieved a very warm welcome from all of the dogs,and one of the cats ,Nico,who had to keep getting in on the act ! The first to be examined was Janey,she thinks Janey’s turn was due to collic. Apparently when a dog gets collic,they produce gas,which…

It’s with a very heavy heart I have to tell you Paddy went to the bridge this afternoon. Our poor boy had been diagnosed with kidney failure a few weeks ago. He had lost loads of weight weight in recent months, but we thought he had started to put some back on since being on…

One of our little cats,Pallina,went missing a couple of weeks ago..We waited for her to come home every night,but she didn’t. We had almost given up hope,when one night ,two weeks after disappearing,there she was,skinny as anything,and absolutley starving hungry… We think she had been shut in somewhere for that amount of time. She never…

I was in my kitchen yesterday afternoon,Charlie and a few others were outside on the veranda, I heard what I thought was one of the dogs with their head in the food bag,I went out there and discovered it wasn’t that at all. It was Charlie,trying desperatley to stand up,the noise I heard was his…
