Just a passing comment ...

by a friend when she woke up late one morning and had to cut her dogs walks short. You see, she is a dog walker by day and a dog lover by night so she felt she was " the shoemaker". You know, the shoe maker who lets his own children run barefoot.

Sometimes I'm a shoemaker too. Busy checking on my foster charges, doing some behavioural modification with them, dispensing medication, grooming (and grooming) them. I worry our own gang gets neglected. That's why it's lovely to be on holidays. Everybody, every buddy, can get attention. We are so very fortunate to have an incredible pet sitter who can take the foster charges under her wing for a week. Their basics are taken care of but the forever dogs (and on this holiday rabbits) can move to a much more central role.

It's lovely.

Oh Toby ...

dear darling little Toby is most resembling a rubber ball at the moment - he's got so many leads for homes it's amazing but we have him out in a home now - fingers crossed it works - he is a sweet soul and much loved by many people .. he just needs a forever home ..

he is a total snuggle bug ..
