Hehe :p Yeah I think she was 9 weeks when we got her, 8 weeks when we saw her.. I don't know how long she'd been at Battersea before that. But she will follow me around - even into the loo! :lol: - and used to sleep on my bed every night when my bedroom was in the downstairs flat (it is now upstairs with the lodgers where the cats are not allowed!).
Eta: Basil was the 12 weeks when we got him I think and he is very independent. (Both have approximate ages because they are rescues.)
Took a couple of puppies in that were found in a rubbish skip :angry: The are about 6 weeks old and are adorable.
Savannah is the dark puppy, Tallulah the black and white one, she looks very much like a Jack Russell but has long fur, Savannah is a bit bigger and also has long fur and a bit of a longer tail.
Oh Perdy how adorable!!!
They look gorgeous Perdy! I don't understand how some people can be so cruel. I have a scottie/westie cross called Billy who's now 4 years old and is obsessed with the television particulary Emmerdale. :)
Well done for taking in these poor unwanted puppies - I've got rescued animals myself. Savannah and Tallulah are gorgeous!!
The look lovely Perdy and well done for taking them in
how cute are those puppies!! how could someone put them in a skip....
we have three cats, two of them are rescue cats. the eldest is 17 now. at first he wouldnt go near anyone now as soon as someone walks in the door he wants to sit on their lap.
the youngest is also a resuce cat, he is mental and hasnt learn not to scratch the side of the bed up yet!!
and our ginger cat is a cross ragdoll.....he likes to sleep on you where-ever you sit, and lie on you all night. he is pretty heavy.............and warm............

My cat likes to sleep on me wherever I'm sitting or lying too. It's lovely, isn't it?Quote:

You sleep on the floor, human!!!! :lol:
Ah Kim, they are beautiful. Sorry but you just have to squeeze round them!
Lovely dogs, Kim. I have the same problem with the pets in my house :)
Perdita, are they your cute little puppies all grown up in your avatar?
Yes, Dazzle, they are now 8 months old, but they look bigger on the photo than they really are :)
I am sure a lot of you will have gone through this ... my little fur baby (well, 15 kg is not so little :p) but I have sleepless nights because Savannah has a problem with her kneecap in her left leg and needs an operation, she will have 3 pins put in her leg on Monday evening and I am worried sick. She is totally fixated on me and I know she will be scared when I drop her off at the vet to leave her for 3 1/2 hours .... She will hate me .. willl need a lot of care for about a month afterwards, physio no doubt, vet said walking on lead only for a month ... :crying:
Good luck to Savannah (and you) for Monday. I'm sure she'll feel a lot happier when she's all healed. :)Quote:

Can you ask for a sedative or something to give her earlier in the day so she's not so scared at being left?
She can´t have food all day, obviously and I would not want to give her medication as she will have a general anaesthetic. I think she will be seen to by the vet shortly after me dropping her off, appointment is for 5pm, I pick her up again ag 8.30pm . :(Quote:

The op went well, I think she is walking a bit more than she should but I can´t stop her. Need to carry her across the street to the doggy bathroom until next Monday when she can start having 10 minute walks a few times a day. Will be glad as she weighs around 15 kg and I am glad when I can place her on her bed again but she is great. Seems to feel better all the time, her tail wagging a lot again so I think I have been forgiven. Will be around 2 months before she is fully fit again if her recovery continues as it has so far. Thank you for asking. :)Quote:
