Feel Good Friday 🙂
Rusty got an early Christmas present 🎁 recently when we removed a huge ugly 7cm lump off his 🦵 knee. Watch his lucky story coming soon.
I can't help but notice recently that shops are putting up xmas🎄 decorations and its only Mid October. DONT PANIC 🥵 , we still have > 2 months 📆 and plenty of time to do big projects. Have you heard of The 12 week year?
Feel good Friday. What I love to see...look at her go! Awake and eating just 6 hours after her painful eye was removed.
Who loves cute PUPPIES !! ✨️🐕
For those asking, they're Beardie X Heading
And for those whom had appointments booked and we shifted, 'Thank you for understanding and moving to tomorrow'! 🤩
ALBERT is such a happy and friendly fella. He loves coming to the vet and seeing Christine. He doesn't stop looking at her in the consultation, waiting for attention. 🧡
Memories of my Holly at Marlborough Kennel Association (Inc) show 2 yrs ago this weekend.
💝 CH & NEUT CH HOLLY OF RICKLEY was 14 years at this show. She enjoyed going places, and was so easy to travel with. We had an amazing day.
She got Reserve Neut of Group in the champ show and Best Open of Group in the open show. We also won 4th in raffle 🍍 and enjoyed catching up with friends. We were on a HIGH. 🤩
We have so enjoyed this show over the years. I recall a visit to the show some 18-20 years ago where I met a lovely lady with a tibbie (tibetan spaniel), and hense that started my obsession.
We enjoyed showing and agility events. I was so proud of her and miss her heaps.
See for yourself - 2 shows Saturday and 1 on Sunday, @ Omaka, Blenheim. See prev post, or mka page.
2024 Traffic Light Bandana Dog Walk and Games saw 48 dogs enjoy their day in picturesque Picton, NZ.

What a big relief. This visiting dog and owner got separated on a walk🚶♀️ on the Snout track. Some kind tourists found her and walked her back to the clinic🏥.
Her owner had already rung us and
LET US KNOW she was MISSING. We immediately knew who she belonged to and could ring ☎️ her.
By telling vets of LOST PETS we can get them home promptly if they come in, rather than having to pass them on to Dog Control which will likely incur pound fees.
Mr Wobbly now Morgan Free-man soon ready for a home.
Bandana Dogs Picton NZ dogs had a great walk on Sunday. Once calm and settled they had a swim together. All welcome on monthly group walks, including nervous dogs. Bandana colour codes used.

This Little Blue Penguin couldn't wait to be released. It was found in someone's shed and passed to DOC. We couldn't find any injuries (or ticks this time!) so gave him a feed of cut up spotties that young boys donated for the last penguin.
He was fiesty so I sent him on his way.
We get called about wildlife often which can be after hours or weekends more now we don't have EcoWorld, meaning a 20 min drive into clinic. I got called to a sick shag that wasn't so lucky the other evening. Donations of money and caring are always needed. Some take considerable effort, time and money so it is our choice on treatment when surrendered to us.
If you see me around in a caravan it is my attempt to get a BREAK FROM WORK, to feel on holiday and switch off after big days and grieving pet owners yet still be close if needed. If you have a scenic spot near town that I could park it sometimes let me know, ta.
Arn't Wood Pigeons majestic? We save wildlife where we can. They usually need xrays to check for broken bones and a towel helps save our fingers from their strong gripping claws.
Check out lucky patient 'duck' next week.
