snugs , I have been following your situation & story w/mum.. I have been caregiver for mine here in her home for 12 + years.
It is rewarding, frustrating, fun, hell.. and often all within 10 minutes
oz...what is a "microchipping day" ?
How old is your mum and what is her main problem? I don't know if Oz is still about but I would suspect micro chipping she is referring to puppies and cats being microchipped as she works at a vets.
It was a fairly successful morning and we only got verbally abused once! LOL. We were told we should be spending taxpayers money in a better way. I politely asked the "gentleman" to make sure that the gate didn't hit him too hard on the way out and to have a Merry Christmas.....Can't win 'em all!
