Three days after the equine vet had been to see Obi (and of course it was a weekend evening) Cara decided to start coughing and vomiting. After 10 minutes she still hadn’t managed to bring anything up other than a bit of foam and it was tinged with pink so I called the emergency vet… Read More Pet Trials and Tribulations, Part 2
It has been an expensive couple of weeks. Firstly, Obi went really lame about 3 weeks ago to the point that he had managed to chip off the front of his hoof and was hobbling. First point of call was, as usual, the farrier. He came out and trimmed off Obi’s feet and I decided… Read More Pet Trials and Tribulations, Part 1
Just as I got to thinking that Tinks was going to have to stay here and we get another two enquiries about her. It’s may fault – I said that I thought she’d have to stay here out loud so the universe decided to test my resolve. Some two weeks after the enquiries were… Read More The Settling (Part 12)
Maggie has been renamed back to Tinks now. I’m coming to terms with the realisation that we probably won’t be able to find her another home and that she’s going to have to stay with me. Bearing that in mind, she’s now spending more time out of her room as her and Cara seem to… Read More The Settling (Part 11)
Maggie is still with me. It was decided that a home to home adoption would probably not be the best thing for her so she’s still in her luxury room upstairs and we’re rubbing along as best we can. The current plan is to relocate her to a cat cabin at one of the charity’s… Read More The Settling (Part 10)
This last week has not been good. After a great deal of soul searching, I’ve decided that Tinkerbell/Maggie needs to be rehomed. After five months, we seem to take two steps forward and then a step back (if not two) and I’ve been swiped again a couple of times, albeit not quite as badly as… Read More The Settling (Part 9)
My beautiful little Mabel (aka Moomin) has gone missing. I last saw her over 48 hours ago. I was about to go out for a job interview early in the afternoon on Friday and she and Poppy were milling about asking to be fed before I left. I told her (as I believe in telling… Read More Missing Mabel
We have progress. Small steps, but definitely in the right direction. In the last three weeks Maggie seems to be (finally) settling. She sometimes greets me verbally when I go in to see her and we have a little head boop and chin rub. Sometimes I have to sit on the floor and wait for… Read More The Settling (Part 8)
Yes, I realise it’s been a while since I posted any progress updates with the New Cat but things have been very up and down with her. For starters, she’s been renamed. Tinkerbell didn’t really suit her for some reason and didn’t roll off my tongue so I’ve changed her name to Maggie May. Mags… Read More The Settling (Part 7)
It seems we’re now in “swipe” territory, which makes me think that I’m playing this whole thing wrong. I hate second guessing myself. Tinks has now been installed in her room for two weeks. She will come out from behind her chair while I’m in the room and watch whatever I’m doing. I’ve been spending… Read More The Settling (Part 6)
