Meet Homie. We rescued him two weeks ago from Bendigo RSPCA. He is classed as a 'senior' dog as he is 9yrs old his owners surrendered him because they are moving interstate. Homie doesn't like to be in the sectioned off part of the yard he has already discovered that he can dig holes under the fence to get out. This has meant that I have had to walk him every morning before I go to work so that he can stay inside during the day.
The walking isn't a bad thing but I have developed the Aussie 'wave' wafting flies constantly out of my face. Why are Aussie flies like this? I am also covered in enormous mossie bites and even when I put on repellent before the walk they find a spot on me that hasn't been sprayed (ear).
Meet Abbey, she is a Labrador crossed with a poodle. We are also dog sitting for my boss, Professor of Medicine and Dean of the medical school, Dawn Dewitt. She has gone on holiday to the UK and America. Unfortunately Abbey developed kidney stones the night before her mums departure which meant a night at the vets. She was even more confused when we picked her up and brought her to a strange house.
The two dogs are tolerant of each other at the moment and just show signs of jealousy when one gets more attention that the other, this tends to result in a little growling and snapping at each other.
The girls are loving having two dogs but Abbey does insist in sleeping in our room which means I can hear her scratching and turning over in her sleep. I am sure I will become accustomed to it but for now I am extremely tired.
