Dogs don’t ask for much yet they give
everything. They are looking for some care and
compassion, a warm bed, good food and
somewhere comfy to sleep. They are always there
for you with their tails wagging when you come
home. They are pleased to see you even if your world
has fallen apart. Their loyalty transcends all barriers.

All over Australia pounds and shelter are overflowing with dumped pets, especially at this time of the year.
Of the many and varied reasons people give for dumping their pets, such as ‘we are having a new baby’ or
‘we just have too many pets now’, the main reason is the fact that these people are irresponsible owners. It

matted, in an extremely poor

I had not experienced a blind dog
before and to be quite honest I did not
quite know how to handle her. She

so I followed my usual routine of
allowing her to smell and touch my
hand, said a few soothing words and
then lifted her up. In my hands her

often thought of Pinky over the next few
weeks and felt a little sad for the
unprepossessing little fellow who had
already spent many months at Doggie
Rescue and seemed destined to spend
more. Each week I saw more appealing
dogs with apparently more attractive
personalities being adopted whilst Pinky
with a rump of other dogs, remained.
Of course, while he waited he was safe,
well fed and cared for by the team…..

And so, being sentimental I became
attached to the little chap and tried to
ensure each Tuesday that I would feed
him and made a special effort to get to
know him. In fact very little effort was
really needed. Pinky continued to be
cautious with this stranger whom he only
saw once a week. But as he came to the
realisation that my presence and smell

FLASHBACK TO 2009…

On the 2nd March 2009 three dogs came from the
pound. They were a little family and we called them
Mama Fuzz, Papa Fuzz and their baby was called
Fuzzpot. Mama & Papa Fuzz were adopted together by
the Williamson family on 5th September, 2009 and then
in early 2010 Fuzzpot was adopted by Margaret
Ingelby.

As a part of our Valentine's Day issue we have caught
up with this little family and their story appears below.

The Story of Penny & Clyde Williamson

(aka Lady Penelope formerly Mama & Papa Fuzz).
By Miriam Williamson

Hello Readers,

We adopted Penny & Clyde as a bonded
couple over five years ago. Following a long drive
from DoggieRescue to our Blue Mountains home,
Penny swaggered in and claimed the best chair
in the house. For Clyde the settling in process
took longer. Along with a fear of any loud noises
and boys he seemed to be holding a torch for
someone in his past. Penny led, Clyde followed
with his nervous disposition. We used to joke that
she was the brains and he was the brawn.

The strength of their bond was revealed when
Clyde became critically ill with pancreatitis and
diabetes. On his return home from the vet Penny
licked him all over and wouldn’t leave his side for
days. Sadly it was to be Penny who passed away
12 months later from pancreatitis. Stoic to the
end she did not let on she was sick until it was
too late regardless of the vet’s efforts to save
her. We miss her still.

Clyde grieved for a day or two but has over the “Clyde’s best friend is Pixie Bigelow, however their relationship
last eighteen months blossomed in his own right. is maintained mostly through social media.” Miriam
Now approaching fifteen he is very much the
homebody. His days comprise of two injections of
insulin, a check of the boundary of our property,
walking around the block, playing with one of his
many fluffy toys, and napping in his deck chair
( see picture on page 21 ) on the front veranda.

found on his favourite deck chair, watching the day go by. taken in 2010 about six months after they were adopted.

POSTCARD Fuzzy Ingelby

Hello Readers,

I would love to update you on
Fuzzpot (we call her Fuzzy ).
She has been with us now
for 5 years and she is our
beautiful little companion.

She showers us with
affection, loves travelling in
the car and is very protective
of our property. Not too keen
on big dogs, she shoos them
off, but loves socializing with
all the small dogs on our
daily walk.

Fuzzy is really well and very
happy here with us. I am
happy to hear that Papa is
still going strong and look
forward to seeing a photo of
him. Thank you, regards
Margaret

Hi Fans,

Do you love your dog? Of course you do!
But do you show him you love him? Not

just by cuddles or walks in the park but ….

“ WILMA ” • Does he go to the vets regularly for a check up
for his health & to have his vaccinations?

• If he has long hair do you brush it and keep it clean
also have him clipped in the very hot weather?

• Is he wormed & does he have flea & tick prevention?
• Has your doggie got shelter from the weather ie shade

from the sun and cover from winds, rain & cold weather?

• Do you watch his diet & make sure he doesn't get too fat?

• Is he exercised not just on days when the weather is fine but
every single day?

• Most of all is your doggie part of the family and not left alone
for a long time? Do you know dogs get lonely too!

You said YES to all those questions! Great!!! You truly LOVE your
doggie and have given him a very good home. If you said NO to

VALENTINE’S POSTCARD FROM TED

This month is the 11th anniversary of Ted coming into our
lives. We adopted Ted from Monika's DoggieRescue way
back in 2004 and he is now approximately 13yrs old. He was
originally called Rudolph and we saw his story in the Sunday
Telegraph. When we first adopted Ted he was very wary of
strangers, especially men, but now when we go walking he
wants to say hello to everyone he meets, especially
children! I wanted to let you know he is still going strong and
has changed so many lives. Thank you Monika and all your
helpers for the wonderful work you do. Rebecca Doughty

Dear Monika & Doggie Rescue Team,

We are so happy to have welcomed Jasper to our family
home at Wheeler Heights. He has enjoyed his first
Christmas with us and had his own presents under the
tree. We have some great walking tracks near our house
and he enjoys being taken out for his two walks each
day. His favourite walk is up to Long Reef headland and he
loves to stand at the top just staring out to sea with the wind
blowing in his face. He is such a happy, affectionate, playful
dog and he is the perfect dog for our family!

HOWIE - OUR Sweet VALENTINE!

Howie became part of our world in August 2014, after being very much loved by Monika and the Doggie
Rescue team for over 2 years. Howie, shares his home with Cancun (rescue cat) and often visits his
‘Aunties’ (also rescue doggies)

HOWIE has many loves….

• He LOVES to sit beside me in the
studio at work, and guard me,
displaying his protection by little
growls and stern looks ( I have to fight
back giggles every time!) and everyone
at work absolutely adores him.

• He LOVES his Grandmother, ( with
Granddad, he is making progress and
no longer hides from him, he even
accepts treats from him now! a huge
milestone considering Howie is very
afraid of men.)

• He LOVES playing with his doggie
Aunties, spending hours playing in
the back yard and swimming
(supervised ) in our pool—see picture.

• He LOVES the lounge, and loves
body contact and cuddles.

• He LOVES sharing the bed ( and
sometimes finds himself in the very
middle!! )

• He LOVES to stop and sniff every
tree on our walks.

Howie is certainly my Valentine! We love him so very much as
I know the Doggie Rescue team does also, thank you from the
bottom of our heart for nurturing such a gorgeous little soul,
and all the others that you continue to rescue and protect.

And to you Howie—A Happy Valentine’s Day, our life would not be the same
without YOU, you handsome little boy!!!! Ihara Mannise

DANA REMEMBERED
