Update on Ross and William has a fright!

After a bit of a setback yesterday where Ross refused to eat his food and the vet paid another visit , he now appears to be on the mend. He is having a hot bran mash every morning and evening and he is enjoying it, his throat must be very sore after having so many tubes stuck down there when the attempts were being made to flush out the obstruction so his meals have to be easy to digest at the moment.
Last night I had a terrible fright, I found William collapsed on the floor of my bedroom with his head tightly wedged in a small (Whiskas ) empty cat biscuit bag. He was asphyxiating, I tore the bag off his head just in time, the poor dog was in a terrible state and in a state of extreme shock.I cant believe this happened and it worries me that this could happen with fatal results to other animals- not just domestic pets but wild animals scavenging on landfill sites and in waste bins.I will write to the company but in the meantime if you know anyone who uses these bags of cat bisquits(they have a re-sealable top) please warn them of the danger of leaving them around and also ask them to cut them up instead of disposing of them whole. William was lucky, another few minutes and I would have lost him for good.
The new reception is almost ready, Roy has not been in today, he has developed a worrying chest infection and is going to see a doctor. Apart from running the Caernarfon charity shop he is our handyman extraordinaire!! He also has a true love of animals and is one of those wonderful people who will always help when asked, if there is a stray dog or an injured bird reported he will stop whatever he is doing and rush to the aid of the animal concerned.He is an invaluable help and a great friend of the shelter.Roy is pictured above flagging an area for Kitty Kottage, the new feral cat shed, just one of the many jobs he has undertaken to improve the facilities here for our rescued animals.
PS I have been asked about the health of the old collies Monty and Tara , Im pleased to say that they are still pottering about, old and frail but I think they will make it through the next few months unless there is a noticeable deterioration in their health. The new heart tablets seem to be keeping them on an even keel.
