A Very Sick Kitten

Kitty Boo

Having dropped off the three forestry puppies to get settled into their new home, I had to dash off for a rendevous with a kind lady who rescued a kitten from the road. A tiny little black kitten about five weeks old and very sick with flu which is bad in cats and is also very dangerous to kittens. For the first week he just slept and ate and slept some more and then he began to play. He made friends with all the dogs and jumps on their backs and slaps their nose with his little paw and bites their tale and they all take it in good humour. Escargot adores him and chases him around the sitting room and the forestry pups are always wanted to play with him. But they all have to be watched as he could be injured if they play too rough. So with constant visits to the vet with Marshall, the Welsh hound, who tripped on a gate and tore all the ligaments in his paw, Kitty Boo is making a fine recovery and is looking for a home as soon as possible.

Three Forestry Puppies

Andy

Daisy

Rosebud

On the day that Scampi found a new home, there had been a report that three puppies had been abandoned in a forestry. Fortunately, the workers at the forestry and put them in a shed and so they had shelter and a kind lady had been going up twice a day to feed them. So leaving Scampi’s new home, I headed straight for the forestry and meet the three puuppies. They were gorgeous. About five months old, a cross between a sheepdog and a terrier, it seemed, they were lively in spite of being quite thin and very friendly. So they were brought to their foster home where they meet all the other dogs including Escargot who was lonely for his brother. They have a field to run in and their very own shed and every evening they are brought into the house which they promptly wreck. They are called Andy, Rosebud and Daisy and will make wonderful pets for a lucky family. So if you are on the lookout for a perfect pet, call 086-8163707.

Scampi and Escargot

Escargot and Kitty Boo
When the boot was opened, there were these two ten week old puppies sitting in a corner of the boot and looking terrified. We were taking them in so that we could find them a home. They were terrified after being taken away from their mother and landing up in a strange place, so the first thing to do was to make them feel at home. One of them was called Scampi which was a lovely name and there was no name on the other pup so logic stepped in a dictated that it had to be Escargot. With the help of all the other dogs, they settled in very quickly and made friends with Toto and Starbuck. Then this family called and wanted to meet Scampi. Needless to say, they fell in love with him straight away and so Scampi got himself a fabulous home where he is now King of the Castle. They changed his name to Buddy as their previous dog, who had died suddenly, was also called Scampi and they wanted to save his name. Poor Escargot was so lonely for a day after Scampi left but he soon settled in again and is now very happy running with all the other dogs. He is still looking for a home and hopefully will have one soon.

Toto and Starbuck

Toto had been with us for a while now and Popeye got a home and has settled in very well. Poor Mattie seemed to want to sleep all the time and was getting fatter and fatter. When his face started to swell up, he was rushed to the vet and it turned out the poor little kitten has Heamophilia, a disease of the blood that prevents it from clotting. The Kitten was bleeding internally and so the kindest thing to do was to put him down. It was a very sad day. A few days later, another little kitten was found and came to join Toto. He was called Starbuck. Found on the road next to his dead brother, he was very traumatised and it was two days before he would let anyone handle him, but from then on he settled in so well and was a great companion for Toto. Then a lady called looking for two kittens and for these two little ones, it was a happy conclusion.
