🦖🔥 THE REVEAL IS HERE… SHAGASAURUS REX! 🔥🦖

I should have known I was in trouble when the nurses at Albion Park Vet asked:

“Do we have permission to do what we want?”

I said yes.

I THOUGHT THEY MEANT A HAIRCUT. 🤣

Instead, Shar went in as a fluffy Persian and came home as a prehistoric s*x pest.

🦖 SHAGASAURUS REX HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING.

THE SPIKES.
THE BOOTS.
THE TAIL.
THE LOOK OF PURE BETRAYAL. 💀🤣

And he hasn’t even seen himself yet.

The drive home was silent. Not normal silent. Organised-crime silent.

Before the haircut, Shar had already threatened to s**t in my slipper and leave a furball on my pillow.

I suspect the revenge plan has now escalated:

💩 Both slippers
🤮 Tactical 3am vomit
🚽 Litter across three postcodes
🥨 Unspeakable acts involving Pretzel Pillow
👀 Watching me sleep
⚖️ Legal action for loss of floof

Pretzel has gone into hiding.
Woolies Wombat wants witness protection.
My slippers are at an undisclosed location.

Albion Park Vet, you were given creative freedom.

YOU CREATED A SHAGASAURUS WITH A GRUDGE. 🤣🦖

Shar rates his new haircut -47/10 and would like everyone involved to know:

He has your names.

🚨 BREAKING: SHAR HAS LEFT THE VET 🚨

The shave has happened.

That is all I am prepared to say at this time. 😂

Shar has seen himself.
Pretzel Pillow has seen him.
I have seen him.

Nobody is coping.

There were decisions made today.
There were… artistic choices. ✂️
There are parts of Shar that have not seen daylight in quite some time.

I asked for a full-body shave.

What came home was something else entirely.

I desperately want to show you, but this masterpiece deserves its own moment.

🔥 THE FULL SHAR REVEAL IS COMING TONIGHT. 🔥

Drop your guesses below. 👇
What do you think they’ve done to him?! 🤣

🎁🐾 PIPER IS ADOPTED! 🐾🎉
Our gorgeous little Piper officially left the building on Sunday with her wonderful new parents, Jo and Mac. 🥹❤️

And because Piper could never simply leave with dignity, she decided her trip to Sydney needed a little… drama. 😂

🚗 Destination: Sydney
💩 Approximately halfway there: CATASTROPHE

Piper successfully emptied her bowels in her carrier, then apparently decided the best course of action was to ROLL IN IT AND COVER HERSELF IN IT. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Nothing says “Congratulations on adopting me!” quite like arriving at your new home absolutely marinated in your own poo and requiring an immediate bath. 💩🛁😂

Thankfully, Jo and Mac still wanted her after the world’s stinkiest first impression. 🤣

Our little girl has settled in wonderfully and is already being her gorgeous, quirky, lovable Piper self. ❤️

We’re so happy for you, beautiful girl. You certainly made sure your new parents got the full Piper experience before you even made it through the front door. 😂

Congratulations Jo, Mac and Piper! 🏡🐾❤️

💗 THANK YOU THURSDAY… ON A TUESDAY! 😂🐾

Look, at this point Thank You Thursday is less of a day and more of a lifestyle. 🤦‍♀️😂

A massive THANK YOU to the lovely Gina Borg, who won Prize 2, our $180 Luxury Cat Tree, in our raffle and then very generously donated her prize straight back to the rescue! 🥹💗

Gina, this is such a beautiful gesture. Donating your prize back means we can use it to help raise even more funds for the cats and kittens in our care. 🐱🐾

We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and support. 💕

Thank you, Gina! You are PAWESOME! 🐾💗

And yes… one day I WILL manage to post Thank You Thursday on an actual Thursday.
Today is clearly not that day. 😂😂
