Watson would like to wish everyone a happy 'Take your dog to work day!' today.

The definition of working is pretty loose in Watson's world, but we'd LOVE to see pictures of your dog hard at work! 🐕🐩🐶

Today, on World Pet Memorial Day, I remember Matilda, the lovely Labrador that came to us as an unsuccessful Guide Dog. She was a wonderful, gentle pet, with a great love of water!

World Pet Memorial Day was created as a special day to memorialize beloved pets that have passed away.

Please feel welcome to share photos and memories of your pets in the comments 💚

Saying goodbye at home, where your pet is comfortable, is so important 💚

01/05/2024

It's already been one year of Calm Crossings!!

We wanted to say 'Thank you!' to all the lovely families we've met along the way. It has been an honour to be invited into your homes to help your beloved pets pass peacefully, at such a difficult time.

'Thank you!' to the veterinary clinics that have suggested us (especially Nairne Vet Greencross Vets and Mount Barker Veterinary Clinic ) & to the friends and family that have supported and encouraged me 💚

Tonight we fondly remember two beautiful boys 🐾💞

Lenny is Mr Easy Going Best Boy who thinks he is human.
Happy, confident, steady temperament that was used to help anxious / reactive dogs socialise with.
Best kitchen hand on 4 legs 😆
Loved rubbing his face on fertiliser at Bunnings , his “perfume”
Loved by everyone.

Chazer, Mr Sensitive
Chose his gang carefully, then they were “his” gang.
Happy to do his own thing, sleeping all day, late night roast chicken treats with Dad on the couch.
Lenny was Chazer’s safety net.
Best friends till the end and now together at the Rainbow Bridge.

Leaving broken hearts behind 💔

On World Vet Day 2024, I thought we'd rewind all the way back to 2003 where I was working in my first job in Denmark WA. In this rural practice I'd see all creatures.....cattle, alpacas, kangaroos, pelicans, hawksbill turtles (she was lost!), as well as dogs and cats!

What a great way to start! 🐕🐱🐢🐮🐎

Today we remember those that sacrificed so much

After an amazing time in the South island of New Zealand, I'm back!

Thanks to everyone that has tried to get in touch during my absence, and are patiently waiting for a response. I will be contacting you all this weekend 💚

Calm Crossings will be closed from the 1st-15th of March. We'll be hopping across the pond to visit our Kiwi neighbours!!

It's World Spey Day! Check out what it means for AMRRIC - Animal Management in Rural & Remote Indigenous Communities 💜🐾

Today is World Spay Day! 🐾

This day advocates for pet sterilisation, to avoid overpopulation, reduce the amount of dogs and cats in shelters, and help animals live longer and happier lives. AMRRIC promotes and uses surgical desexing as the main tool for humane companion animal population management. Desexing gives people a choice in the number of animals that they choose to own, and stabilises the number of animals in communities.

There is very limited access to desexing and other essential veterinary services in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities. AMRRIC works to bridge this lack of access by collaborating with communities to provide education on the importance of desexing, and running surgical desexing programs.

Support World Spay Day by sharing information about desexing with the hashtag , booking your pets in for the procedure, or by donating to organisations that run desexing programs to support the health and wellbeing of animals and their people.

On 'Love Your Pet Day' we are keen to hear about what fun you have had with your pet today!

Here at HQ, Watson enjoyed a quick lunchtime stroll 🐾 but was disappointed with the lack of muddy puddles available to roll in!

The pain of saying goodbye, only exists because our time spent was so meaningful and full of love.

Happy Valentine's Day 💕🐾💕

Today is a chance to celebrate our furever Valentines!

Certainly, no flowers or chocolates are needed to win the love of our furry friends (although they would probably love a pet-safe treat). We can find joy in the simplest moments spent together on a walk or on the couch. They are a no-judgement zone, and we are perfect in their eyes, flaws and all, and we love them eternally.

📸 Share the love this Valentine's Day by sharing pictures, stories, and moments with our pets past and present, because the bond and the friendship never fade xo! ❤️

The more families I meet, the more I realise we don't own our dogs, they own us 💚🐾🌈

Each month Calm Crossings makes a donation to AMRRIC - Animal Management in Rural & Remote Indigenous Communities.

It's always nice to hear how your donation helps!

Dear Nina,

Thank you for your generous donation and commitment to support the health and wellbeing of people and their pets in remote Indigenous communities.

Your kind gift helps provide essential veterinary services and education programs in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in a culturally agreed way.

With your incredible commitment we plan to maintain and build on the achievements of last financial year by
• delivering veterinary and education services to communities throughout Australia,
• desexing as many animals as possible to help communities manage their animal population;
• supplying antiparasitic treatments (to control fleas/ticks/mites/mange/worms) to remote communities, including resources, advice and training in how to administer the treatments
• engaging community members and school students in animal care education programs; and
• developing new education resources in partnership with the communities we work with, including videos and animations in their own first language.
Requests for veterinary and education programs in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities continues to grow. Your generous support helps provide access to services and information that these communities need. Together we can achieve our vision of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities that are healthy and safe for people and their companion animals.

Once again, thank you for your generous gift today. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our team on 08 8948 1768 or at [email protected]

To see the difference your gift makes, please view our impact report here.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Brooke Rankmore
Chief Executive Officer

As we head into 2024, I have had time to reflect on how wonderfully Calm Crossings has been welcomed by the Adelaide Hills community since opening in May 2023.

This word cloud was generated from lovely emails, texts and Facebook feedback I have received during this time. Thankyou!

I had to capture this sweet moment with my office assistant this morning. Snoozing away and wagging at the same time. Must have been a great dream 🥰
