PET TALES
DODGE
We had our dodge for 13 years and he was quite the character. When dodgy was a puppy I used to throw rocks in the pond and he would dive down like a duck and come back up with a rock in his mouth. He always loved the water and the beach too. We had dodgy for 5 years before we had our family and he grew up with our three girls and was the most loyal and best friend to all of my girls.
At Christmas time dodge always wore his santa hat for the girls, my eldest daughter would say that he was one of santas doggy elves, ha ha, he was so cute. He always loved to be with the family and help daddy load up his motorbike. Dodge would run around and round the back yard with excitement whenever dad and the children were outside playing with him. He always gave the best and biggest doggy kisses too. Our dodge will forever be in our hearts, we love him dearly and will forever be the greatest friend to us. Goodbye our beautiful baby boy!!!!

NUGGET
When Nugget first arrived at our clinic in 2008 he was so scared that we couldn’t even coax him in the front door! The vets would sometimes even go out to the car park and see him for a consultation to try and limit his stress levels. It’s nearly four years on now and Nugget comes in for a bath every fortnight. He races through the doors and just loves all the attention he gets from the girls! We have all really enjoyed seeing Nugget grow with his confidence and we just love having him in the clinic! He is truly a special boy.
