Gotcha Date: September 9th 2006 Birthday: March 4th 2006 Likes: Food, playing tug of war with my toys, going walkies, sleeping with mummy, pottering in the garden, sitting in the sunshine, kissing mummy Pet-Peeves: Thunderstorms, having my nails clipped and having a bath, the vacuum cleaner monster Favorite Toy: My absolute favourite toy is my big teddy bear (it's bigger than me!). I suckle on Teddy and go to sleep on him and my plush Anty (anteater) all the time. And did someone say squeaky toys? Oh, and my tug of war rope toys and balls! Favorite Food: Chicken, steak, peanut butter, Schmackos, toast, potato, cheese, banana, apple Favorite Walk: Going to the local park, but any walkies really. Best Tricks: Sit, wait, rolls over, crawling along the carpet like she's swimming freestyle in water, jumps to catch plush toys and then spits them out at my feet so I can throw them again, blankie guerilla warfare (don't ask) Arrival Story: I adopted her from Shenton Park Dogs' Home in Perth. She was apparently a pound rescue. How anyone could have given her up or abandoned her is utterly beyond me. It was love at first sight for me. When we did the meet and greet at the Dogs' Home, I asked her if I could pic her up and when I did she turned in my arms and licked/kissed me and I was utterly and irrevocably smitten. I was moving and had to wait a week before I could take her home, but going home day arrived and when I went to collect her and Dogs' Home staff brought her out to me I just cried, I was so happy, and so was she. She's the most beautiful little dog anyone could ever hope to adopt and it's such a privilege to be her guardian and mummy. Bio: Pogo is a beautiful, sweet natured, very happy, friendly and playful little girl. She just loves people (especially when they make a fuss of her) and likes most other dogs. She's such a wonderful mix of the best of both Jack Russell and Chihuahua, and I'm so privileged to be her Mummy and to have her in my life. She's always so happy to see other dogs, especially her pals that she sees regularly at our local dog park, and her pals love to see her, racing up to welcome her if they're at the park first. She loves playing with them and is always so happy around them. It's such a joy to see how much she's bloomed in the years since we found each other. I'm so proud of my dear little sweetheart.

Dear pals, you'll remember just before Christmas I posted about Freya, the beautiful German Shepherd girl who had just been diagnosed with cancer of the spine.
Over night Freya's condition deteriorated badly and this morning she could barely walk, so she is making her journey to the Bridge today. Please remember Freya and her family in your thoughts and prayers - especially Freya's litter brother Brin, who has never known life without his sister. He's going to be so upset and confused and will need all the support and love he can receive.
Dear pals, we received this update from Freya's mum today. It's just heartbreaking.
"Freya had her MRI this morning. It's about as bad as it could be. The growth is larger than they thought and is in her spine. They can't operate and apparently chemo is not an option either. She's been given weeks or months, and the best we can do is manage the symptoms with pain killers and other stuff until we have to make a decision for her. The vet thinks it could've been there for years and only just now started putting pressure on her.
My uncle recovered from bowel cancer recently which he puts down to some things he took on the recommendation of a cancer specialist in the States. He also met a woman here who took the same things and made a full recovery - more importantly, she gave it to her dog when it got cancer and it also fully recovered. Worth a shot."
Please, if anyone has any suggestions on how to make what time Freya has left good, or suggestions of anything that might physically help her, let me know and I'll pass it along. Freya's mum is as of now taking a month's leave to be with her girl. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers and please send all the positive energy you can spare, both for Freya, and for her family?
Mummy has a friend with whom she bonded over their mutual love of dogs. Her friend has two beautiful brother and sister German Shepherds, Freya and Brin. Freya has been whining and being very sooky for several days, so she went to the vet yesterday. They found a large mass and several smaller ones on her shoulder/verterbrae. They've been told that whatever it is, they shouldn't expect a recovery. Freya is having an MRI today, and they'll have a better idea then what is going on and what lies ahead. Please keep Freya and her family (and her brother Brin, who adores her) in your thoughts and prayers. They could do with all the good energy you can spare right now. Thank you xoxoxo
