Hi everyone!
I have been super quiet on here over the last 6 months and I wanted to take a moment to explain why…
I took on a rescue pup 🐶 about 5 months ago from my work, who was very sick 😞 and needed a significant amount of love and attention ❤️ she was significantly underweight, had some medical issues with her blood work and had no life left in her the day she came home with me. Slowly we reintroduced food feeding her 8-10 small meals a day, and toilet training her (not easy in an 8 month old pup I can tell you!). As I’m sure you can imagine she couldn’t be left alone and she had some behavioural issues (we’ve been in contact with behaviourists) and I had to consider my older girl as well as the pup was a bit of a bully 🤦♀️😬 because of everything she had been through. This meant we relied heavily on family to help us (our family are amazing humans) as we both work full time. She’s had a few health issues since but nothing serious (just a little stressful 🤷🏼♀️).
Skyler is now 27kg!! A whole 15.6kg HEAVIER than when she came to me. She has an amazing personality, shes learnt NOT TO eat out the bin, drink out the toilet, steal food from the counter, be nicer to her sister, not swallow foreign objects etc. She’s super intelligent and has the will of an ox 🐂. I couldn’t be prouder of her. We still have a long way to go but I know with work and time we will all get there. As a veterinary nurse I often do behaviour consults but I’ll be honest, I had not a scoobie on how to deal with her because I was terrified of failing her. It’s mine and my husband’s responsibility to gain her trust, make her well again and teach her… pretty much everything! And that for me was a lot of pressure, but I can’t believe how far we’ve all come now ❤️ so for all you new puppy 🐶 owners… I feel ya!
But this is why I have been quiet on here 🤫 I’ve still been out and about seeing your furbabys, do not worry! But I’m BACK AGAIN now I’ve regained my sanity 🤣🤦♀️ and I have some exciting news coming soon… so watch this space 👀
Thank you to all my incredible clients for being so understanding and asking how Skye’s getting on ❤️ I’ll see you all soon
Love
Zoe
