  • Microchip/Scanning Issue You Need To Be Aware of

    ❌Microchip/scanning information❌

    ❗To clarify, I can only pass on the information which I was given & have shared in absolute good faith. Others state scanning chips more frequently makes no difference, please decide for yourselves. What IS very clear, is that there is a problem with the general microchip/scanning process as a whole❗

    Whilst we are all absolutely delighted that Sprocket has at last been reunited, the revelation yesterday that her microchip had been missed by several separate agencies, has set alarm bells ringing. Sprocket could have been reunited some 2 weeks beforehand had her chip been located in the first place. The possibility of her chip never having been found, resulting in a rehoming situation, or worse, doesn’t bear thinking about.

    Coincidentally, just before this information had been posted, I had attended a local charity event, where they were offering health checks, health care advise and free microchipping. Such were my concerns regarding seemingly increasing ‘failures’ of microchips, for whatever reason, I raised this with the event organisers. I’M SO GLAD I DID because the reply I got was a vital piece of information that we all need to know.

    Apparently, the more you have your dogs chip scanned, the easier it becomes to locate, because the process of scanning effectively activates the chip, which otherwise lays dormant, making it more reliable and easier to locate. I was stunned to learn this.

    PLEASE PLEASE bear this in mind and have your dogs scanned at EVERY reasonable opportunity you have. It takes only seconds but could well save your dog’s life 🐶

  • Essential Oils Nearly Killed My Dog-Must Read

    Warning, Saturday night I got home late and my dog didn’t recognise me. Being a nanny dog I thought I woke him and he was having a night terror.

    Sunday he was still acting weird, he just wasn’t his normal self.

    I realised I had been running my new diffuser and decided to turn it off.

    Today whilst at work my friend who pops into let my dog out said he would not come out from beneath the bed very odd behaviour from a normally very sociable friendly little guy.

    Turns out the tea tree oil I had been using in my diffuser was toxic to dogs, I didn’t even put it in his body,even the smell of it can cause damage.

    Thankfully tests show that his liver is okay but we aren’t out of the woods yet.

    It is now 72 hours after his exposure he was given fluids under his skin to try to clear out all the toxins from his tiny body.

  • I Was Wrong. I Totally Trusted Him

    Amanda Mcbride has taken to social media to share her story.

    McBride said: So I have been contemplating posting anything since this tragic event happens in our lives Thursday evening.

    It was just like any regular night Elouise and I had just gotten out of the bath and Donnie took her to get her dressed and give her some milk and I was getting ready for bed when all of a sudden I heard growling and screaming. We then spent the next 10 hours in the hospital.

    I Was Wrong. I Totally Trusted Him
    I Was Wrong. I Totally Trusted Him

    Just like any other night Elouise was laying with Buck (there dog) drinking her milk, only this time I don’t know if she touched him funny or what but he lost control.

    This happened within two feet of Donnie being right there by their side. These two were best friends. They’ve been inseparable since we brought Elouise home, they haven’t left each other’s sides. They’ve grown up together. I’m sharing this because I want those who think there’s no way this could happen, to see what happened to someone who thought the exact same thing.

    I Was Wrong. I Totally Trusted Him
    I Was Wrong. I Totally Trusted Him

    I was wrong. I totally trusted him, and he had never done anything for me to think otherwise. I was the person that thought this would never happen to me. There is no way because he loves me and he loves us and was always so sweet and loving to those he knew.

    I know some will read this and feel bad and sorry for us and still think that there is no way this could happen to you. Well after the roller coaster experience I just dealt with I am telling you unfortunately there is a possibility and there is a chance that the furbaby you love so much could do this.

    I Was Wrong. I Totally Trusted Him
    I Was Wrong. I Totally Trusted Him

    Anyone who knows me, knows the love I have for animals which was why this experience was even more difficult.

    Our beautiful Elouise is doing better and we keep praying everyday for a quick recovery. We appreciate any prayers you could send our way. With that being said with a sad heart we put Buck to sleep yesterday and lost the furbaby of our family. For friends and family we haven’t personally contacted we are sorry but appreciate any and all prayers you could send to the Wade family. I also want to thank those that have been there through this awful experience we really appreciate it.

  • I Trade In My Dogs When They Get Old

    As a child I grew up with my two best friends Pebbles the Jack Russell and Chesney the west highland terrier.

    Me and my dogs were so close i loved grooming them and taking them for walks and having them sleep at the foot of my bed.

    Pebbles passed away when I was 11 and Chesney died when I was 14, each death broke me, I was devastated and my parents said no more pets.

    Eventually I grew up and moved out with my now husband and went on to have two children but something was missing I needed a furry companion.

    I bought Russell first he was such a welcome addition to our family, I was happy again.

    But as Russell got older I knew that my beautiful boy only had a few years left in him, and I just couldn’t go through the pain of seeing him pass away.

    I thought long and hard about what to do and decided I would find an older couple who would love Russell just as I did and replace him with a new dog, I then would not go through the pain of knowing when he passed away.

    Next came Dexter a bundle of energy a fit and healthy pooch, my heart melted the first time I saw him. When he was eight I was left with the hard decision again, watch my baby age and die or have the ignorance is bliss again.

    I found a rescue centre for Dexter which had the policy never to put a healthy dog down.

    I am now on to Princess, the sweetest little lap dog, who is like a little baby she makes me so happy.

    I have received a lot of negativity towards my decision to trade in my pets, but unless you have been through the pain of seeing your dog pass away you won’t understand.

    In my head all my dogs are still alive happy and with loving families.

    Princess is four now and I’m getting on so she maybe my last dog but I won’t see it out til the end I can’t have that heartbreak

     

  • Your Hamster May Not Be Dead-Winter Warning

    IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR HAMSTER OWNERS . Sad sad day — I went to feed our Syrian hamster and as he didn’t come out for his food as he usually does I peaked in his bed ……..

    He was cold and still and stiff 😞

    This picture is as I found him 😢 😢

    PLEASE PLEASE if you have hamsters don’t bury them when found like this at this time of year. If the temperature drops these wee guys hibernate and go into a ‘ slow ‘ state .

    I cuddled him and put his tank into the tortoise room that is kept at a cosy temperature and within a couple of hours he was up and about collecting his dinner and clambering about. ❤ ❤ ❤

    Obviously if he doesn’t come round when warmed up slowly he has probably died but lots of times he will be just conserving energy.

    Pet hamsters can go into hibernation mode, don’t just assume they have died, keep them warm, place a hot water bottle under their cage, wrap them in a towel and cuddle them.

    Please SHARE so NOBODY buries their wee pet if he hibernates xxx

     

  • Do Not Let Your Child Have This App

    If your children have this app please be aware!!

    My 9 year old daughter came running down the stairs tonight in absolute tears.

    She has had the app Alimas baby 2.

    My daughter had been on a 2 day long school trip and returned home earlier this afternoon, after her evening meal and bath, she asked if she could spend sometime on her tablet before bed.

    Within 10 minutes of being on her tablet she came down stairs really upset, all she kept saying was she had hurt a baby, she should never become a mum.

    I didn’t understand what she was talking about, I know she has a child lock on her YouTube so can’t watch anything inappropriate.

    Once she had calmed down she showed me, I was shocked!!!

    This is a children’s game, this is totally wrong and has scared my child.

    If you do not feed your virtual baby, it begins to starve, its ribs sink in and eventually it dies, you can also release a ghost to scare the baby whilst it’s alive.
