Sorry for your loss
Back at home with my Sydney! He was very happy to see me again. Been following me around a lot. We’ve been trying to give him some good adventures, lots of love and (not to many but it’s hard to resist those eyes) snacks.
We made a new friend this week
This is our newest family member, Badger. He’s a 12 week old red Labrador, and has the sharpest teeth in the world.
What a good boy he is! And handsome too!
Aw!!! So cute!
HAD the sharpest teeth? How cruel to detooth the poor pup!
They gave him back… defective.
Eek! Fixed the autocorrect error, thanks for catching it!
He is stunning
Also frozen carrots for the toothies
The sad news today is that we had to put our family dog down, Saphire. While she wasn’t in pain we thought something wrong as she had lost weight and hadn’t been eating. Learning she had strep throat and later today learning she had stomach cancer and had to put her down.
R.I.P our Saphirelex, you will always be loved and leave a hole in our hearts.
So sad and so sorry for the family’s loss. She was the goodest dog.
Sorry Beo, such a hard decision but the right one. May you and the family be comforted.
New addition! Callie is a 10-month old rescue from the local SPCA. Her adoption was finalised and she got to come to her new home late yesterday.
I am not a cat lover at all but I can appreciate beauty - Callie is adorable.
A couple of weeks later and Callie has settled into Casa Redd wonderfully. She already has everyone vying for her attention - including the allergic employee!
I mean, look at her and tell me you wouldn’t want her to grace your space too…
Beautiful!
She’s lovely. Were there any conditions for her adoption, if I may ask?
Nothing too onerous. Missus and Miss visited the SPCA and spent a bit of time playing with her there. Filled in an application to adopt detailing past and current pets and pet experience.
She was already potentially going to be adopted by someone else at that stage but that fell through a few days later and we were next in line. She need to be spayed, inoculated, and chipped by the SPCA, so had to stay there for another week or so.
Once she was cleared to be adopted we had to have a home visit by the SPCA Inspector. Wanted to see the environment she’d be in, and that we had the space and all the necessary stuff for cat sleeping, feeding, toilet, stimulation, play, etc. Passed that with 100%+.
That was Wednesday morning. We were told we’d been approved later that afternoon and could, theoretically, have fetched her the next morning. Sadly, a bout of kennel cough had broken out at the shelter so they’d put all the animals on a 5-day course of antibiotics to be safe. We picked her up the following Monday.
Will need to check with the Missus what costs were involved for us, if you want that info too? Don’t think it cost too much. We did have a lot of stuff still from Frankie and Phoebe, so I’m sure that helped.
