We had a lovely peaceful day and then on the 17th January 2018, Mum put us in our crates and took us to Sharrow.<br />
<br />
We stayed there for 2 nights and were so relieved when Mum picked us up on the 19th January. We went on a really long trip. I travelled in the back of the wagon with the dogs and Jake was up front with Mum. On the back seat were the 2 roosters, 7 hens and 2 ducks. It was very crowded.<br />
<br />
When we arrived at the new house, Jake and I were shut in the main bedroom and ensuite.<br />

On the 15th January 2018, Chloe went home with a lovely couple from the Waitakere township. Sadly she didn't like me and Mum tried lots of things to stop her bullying me. She was wearing 3 bells and a lovely pink collar but was scaring me away. Jake had taken to disappearing for a couple of days at a time.</div>

Chloe is a Siamese with stripes and wanted to be the only cat. I was told that Arnie kept her in control but he died the week before I moved in and as I grew up she terrorized me more and more. She is really settled in her new home and being spoiled rotten. She took her cat crate, scratching post, a quilt and bowl.</div>

Arnie disappeared on the 3rd Nov 2016. It was not unusual for him to be away from home overnight or even once 2 weeks but this time it didn't feel right. We called him that night expecting him to return during the night meowing as he did to announce he was home. Sadly that did not happen so next day after I got home, I took the dogs for a walk up the drive. When I spotted Poppy and then Shilo looking in a drain under the neighbour's drive, I thought I had better investgate. It was Arnie. He was half in the drain and definitely dead. I picked him up and carried him home so we could say goodbye properly and bury him with the others.</div>

This is the last photo I have of Arnie sitting on my legs while I was sewing the binding on my niece's quilt. He was a real character cat and a mean hunter. He lived a good full life with us after we rescued him and his brother Forrest from a forest out of Dargaville where they had been dumped.

Arnie was really confident with the dogs and was often found close to one of them. In this case it is Shilo who really wasn't so sure.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Shilo left us after dinner on Tuesday 7th Feb 2017. Originally I started this blog to record her puppy adventures. At the time I was a blog novice and realised this was public and deleted all of that history. I had saved it on my computer but subsequently lost the hard drive. Now I wish I had those memories.<br />

Shilo was the most gorgeous puppy. She was the youngest we had experienced at 7 weeks old and when she arrived was smaller than the cats.<br />

She was very adventurous and probably was not trusted alone on our property for longer than any of the others. She was an independent spirit from the beginning but was loyal to her big brother Rocky and sister Casey. Casey played with her from start but Rocky wouldn't even look at her.<br />

She grew into a beautiful girl and was lots of fun. She loved doing agility and did it with lots of noise and passion.<br />

Shilo was still competing at agility the weekend before she showed signs of being really sick. She was only just 10 years, 3 months old and that really was too young to leave us. We miss her so much.<br />

A tired girl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After walking around the bach she would crash and sleep </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for a while. Here she is crashed at the water bowl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It felt like she deteriorated on the last day and got quite distressed in the car </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when we got caught up in rush hour traffic on the way home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She could hardly stand when we got home. </div>

We gave her a day at home and she had a lot of trouble standing and would end up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lying down. Here Arnie is keeping her company. He has been a constant companion to her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am grateful that she made it home. This photo was taken on the morning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we had her put to sleep. She hadn't improved and it was time to relieve her of pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a really hard day but she had a good long life and she was no longer able to walk freely </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and had stopped eating her dinner unless I helped her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At midday on the 26th Feb 2015</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I helped my best friend of nearly 16 years pass to Rainbow Bridge.</div>

Tribute
To A Best Friend</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
Sunlight
streams through window pane</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
unto a
spot on the floor....</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
then I
remember,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
it's
where you used to lie,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
but now
you are no more.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
Our feet
walk down a hall of carpet,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and
muted echoes sound....</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
then I
remember,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
It's
where your paws would joyously abound.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
A voice
is heard along the road, </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and up
beyond the hill,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
then I
remember it can't be yours....</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
your
golden voice is still.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
But I'll
take that vacant spot of floor</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and
empty muted hall</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and lay
them with the absent voice</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and
unused dish along the wall.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
I'll
wrap these treasured memorials</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
in a
blanket of my love</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and keep
them for my best friend</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
until we
meet above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

On the 1st July I was approached by my friend Paula to see if we were</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ready for another Border Collie. We hadn't planned on getting another one so soon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after Rocky but it seems that this was meant to be. After some discussion and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
checking out of photos we agreed to take this little Mister.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On the 11th July we drove down to Pirongia early to meet and collect the newest addition to our family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lil Mister or Mister as Paula called him, was her favourite from the litter and she </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wanted to keep him but couldn't so we are now the privileged owners of</div>

side ways. Brought it inside as it was cold and kept it in the cat cage thinking it </div>

was about to die. It perked up and was getting about so put it back with the others that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
afternoon. Checked later and the hen had pushed it out. Put it back in the cat cage and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
kept it inside overnight. It was looking good and chirping so put it out in with the others again.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is now. The white hen wouldn't let it back in so set up a little hutch </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and put one of the gold hens with the chick. The first night I had to place it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the hen but after that she seems to have kept it warm. It holds its head to the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
side sometimes but is certainly eating and being kept warm.</div>

Casey gave us a fright. On the Tuesday night after we had laid Rocky to rest, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she raced up the drive with the other 2 and then coming back she was really slow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That wasn't entirely unusual as both Casey and Rocky had been slow on the return of our</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
half walk. I went about some of my normal routine and then found Casey sprawled on the deck. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought she had slipped between the deck and the wall so lifted her up and she fell again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From Tuesday to Friday she could hardly stand up and needed assistance to get her walking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought we were going to lose her on the same week as Rocky. I managed to get time off work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we booked her in to the Vet's on the Friday afternoon. She started to look better so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cancelled the appointment. On the Saturday morning, I went off to get a couple of things and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
came home to find Stuart really worried about Casey. We had a long discussion and I phoned</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Vet's and made an appointment for 5.15pm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We put Casey on the dog bed in the dining room and covered her with a blanket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I brought my computer downstairs and worked on a photo album I had made digitally </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for Casey and also one for Rocky. About 2 hours before the appointment, Casey woke up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and looked at me with bright Casey eyes. I got her up and she walked freely around the garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We cancelled the appointment again and now 2 weeks later she is better and more like herself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is getting herself upstairs again and following me like she always has. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She runs after the others and is eating all her dinner again. She is one amazing 15 year old dog.</div>

It is a sad day
today as we said goodbye to Rocky. The
poor boy has been deteriorating steadily but over the past 2 to 3 weeks it has
been more rapid. It went from struggling
but managing to get upstairs to last night when he collapsed in a heap walking
across the kitchen floor. It was one of
the hardest decisions I have made as he was so good in himself. His eyes were still bright and he was eating
well. He started drinking lots over the
past 2 weeks and over the past week I had been getting up once or twice a night
to let him out to the toilet. He was
amazing in that he would try to stand and most times managed but on occasions I
had to help him. He was finding it
harder to squat. He was still looking
after himself and the front end was still looking really good.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
Last night I decided
to stay home from work and take him to the Vet.
I felt bad as he ate his tux biscuit with his usual gusto and his piece
of toast. He stayed on his bed for much
longer than normal and then made it outside and lay in the sun.</div>

We came home from the Vet's and let
all the other dogs and cats say goodbye.
Shilo stayed in the back of the car with Rocky until I was ready to move
him to his grave. She has been really
devoted to him and will miss him. Casey
and Rocky have always been good friends.
Casey seems sad too but with not hearing I think some of it is passing
her by. Rocky is now laid to rest beside
Bruno with some of his favourite things.
I put the leftover of his favourite squeaky toy, a ball and an old bone
in with him. I planted a camellia on him
and the alstoemeria back.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
that no
one else shall know,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">

before
we go to bed</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and feel
the living warmth of you</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and
touch your silken head?</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">

I walk woodland paths</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
and see
ahead of me,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
your
small form racing with the wind</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
so young
again, and free.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">

in every

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">

Rocky gave us a scare 2 weeks ago when he appeared late and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was shaking like a leaf. He couldn't stand and he had a congested chest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ended up taking him to the afterhours Vet and he was given pain relief.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next day I dropped him off at our Vet and his pain was managed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the week before the long weekend and as the vet fees were expensive, I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had to cancel my plans of going away. Rocky also had antibiotics and I am the chief </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
medicine giver in our household.<br />

Poppy gave me a fright a couple of weeks ago when I caught her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
eating black nightshade. I phoned the Vet and took her straight down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They made her vomit and then suggested she stay in overnight for observation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was put on a drip and when I phoned next morning she was fine.<br />
