It’s been more quiet on the socials again, and I do apologise. But it’s been an emotional time, and I am doing my best.
In the last couple weeks we have lost some good boys and girls.
Ribena the pony, who I learnt to ride on when I was a few inches shorter than I am now, a moody mare but a perfect pony. Saying goodbye to a pony I’ve known 20 odd years of my life was a very sad one.
Digby, what a good boy, and a long time walking partner and playmate to Erik, Nelson and Bertie. My family also met Digby, he helped me get my university work done many times between our walks; photogenic model and squeaky ball chaser.
And my girly Shady rat. 🐀 the most sassy of the mischief, would definitely trade your life for a treat, but would love a good puzzle feeder and few pets in exchange for a minute of no sass, before guarding the cage from Tux and taking care of her sisters.
The worst part of my job, saying goodbye, you build relationships with the human clients as well as their pets. They’re excited to go on adventures with you, they are the highlights of my days. And they carry stories with them that I frequently tell people about, and will continue to do so for the rest of my days!
But as well as supporting pet parents, I also need time to support myself, so I am sorry for going quiet. It’s just difficult to find the words and give these beautiful boys and girls the respect and love they deserve in their own posts.
So a brief moment for them all before I put together a memoir for them individually. Because what better way to share love for these good boys and good girls than sharing my stories and photos for you all to see and smile too.
Sending love to all the furry and human friends of Keeleys Cats and Canines
