Horrific what happened to Dizzy. I cant understand people harming small defenceless animals, or what they 'get' out of it.
Thank you for telling their stories, it's always nice to hear from the saints in the world who look after its animals. I watch a lot of the, mainly dog, rescue videos from around the world on YouTube, some of which are hard to stomach. Guess you have seen a few in real life during the course of your work.
In contrast theres some incredibly cute videos, I was telling ZED44, kittisaurus is a fun one.
Thanks again Rainbow, you're one of the saints!

Omg @Franstrahan I’m no saint honestly. I have seen some horrific things but the overwhelming majority of people I’ve encountered will do literally anything to save animals, be it farm animals, horses, pets, or wildlife. It’s just sad that there are cruel people in the world. I wish I could share videos on here I have done adorable ones x

@RainbowRiverPond
Yes agree it is the minority that are cruel and unfortunately it's always the bad stuff that makes news, no matter what field of life.
I had a lot of fun (and some sad times) when I was pet caring. It is rewarding working with animals. I very much admire the vets and nurses who are on call 24 7 to take care of our pets. And the rescue centres and people like the Cinnamon Trust.
Shame we cant post little video clips on here. Wonder if it's something they could maybe set up in the future?...

This my Jack Russell Bobby. We were visiting a friend.

@LP004
Hes a cute little guy. Looks intelligent. I had a Jack Russell, rescued at 17yo and I had him 15 months, so he was 19yo or thereabouts. JRs are nice little dogs, full of character.

Thank you for the photos & stories, Rainbow!

Pleased to meet you @ZED44 & thank you for the great photos of your kittens & cat.

@ayomide76 - thank you for the photos of your pets; it's good to see you here too!

@LP004 - so pleased you made it here to share your photo of Bobby

Really great to see lots more photos of everyone's pets

My friend's dog, Daisy, before she got her haircut...which I won't show because it's a bit too severe (IMO anyway)! She's awesome though and I love holding her and cuddling her!

Bettahm

@Rooprs
Shes lovely! Is she a shih tzu? Looks so in the photo, but could be a lhasa apso...
My shih tzu Josh (no longer with us) was a Pets As Therapy dog. He was very cuddly, loved to be sitting on someone's lap.
Thanks for the pic of Daisy.

This is Ceefa. She's 15, a rescue who I got last year. and a very lovely kitty. When I got her, she was so scared of everything! She'd been with the same owner from about 6 weeks old and when he passed away she ended up with Cats Protection. We think she wasn't really socialised much, as a kitten or an adult and didn't really see many people. That's good for me as my flat is not exactly busy, but over the last 18 months she's gotten so much braver! She'll come and say hello to most people if they stay put rather than moving around and with me she's a sop. She hates her belly being touched, being picked up and generally losing control of a situation, which makes vets visits particularly difficult, but as long as I respect her wishes as far as possible she forgives me!

Shes landed on her feet finding you, she looks very content.
Like her previous owner, I'm on my own (totally) with pets, and I found the amazing Cinnamon Trust who will take care of pets if you need to go into hospital or, should you pass away, Cinnamon Trust will take your pets and look after them for the rest of their lives. All my pets are registered with them, no charge, I'm a member and just pay £10 a year. Peace of mind! I find a lot of people havent heard of them.

Oh my, I didn't know about them! My neighbour has been doing it but it's always been such a nightmare for both of us! I love her to bits

I am trying to set up stuff so that the food and water will largely take care of themselves but they're going to be longer term projects, and obviously she'll still need her litter doing.

Bettahm

@abbeym395
They would send in a pet visitor probably then in your case. They have volunteers in every area. For mine, I'd have a pet sitter, someone would have to move in with them. I know a volunteer round here, she does dog walking for I'll and/or elderly people mainly. But they are well worth registering Ceefa with then. You can Google Cinnamon Trust for their link. There is a thread about them here in the Coffee Lounge but you'll need to go down a few pages now to find it.

Rooprs

@Franstrahan yes, she's a shih tzu and a great playmate! Whenever I feel down she always cheers me up! Glad you liked her pic!

I think Pets as Therapy is a fantastic idea, and when I get myself a new place I'll certainly consider getting a cat! I wish I could get a dog but my mobility difficulties would make poop-picking untenable, sadly!

Bettahm

@Rooprs
Cats do Pets As Therapy work too so maybe when you get her..... Not everybody likes dogs.
Josh was great as a PAT dog. I now have Teddy, a Tibetan terrier who loves people, especially children and babies, so hoping he will shape up and pass his test next year. His photo is near the top of this thread. Daisy's lovely, lovely colour.

Onix

Another one of my boy Onix. He's 9 months old now and weighs in at 45kg. He wasn't overly impressed getting his hair tied up lol, but I wanted the air to get to his eyes and I wanted to see his eyes, which you could just slip away into.

Bettahm

@Onix
He is handsome. Like a giant Tibetan terrier! (my breed).
I think one of the Tibetan breeders does breed Russian blacks too.
Lovely dog x
