Oh here we go again !

Yet another little fella has turned up on our catalkoy shops doorstep and adopted our girl in the shop,he looks young,maybe around 2 years old and has a plastic tag attached to his ear. He has slept outside our shop for the last 3 or 4 nights waiting for his breakfast and our girl to open the shop.

Again same as the last one,he is a lovely dog and sadly i cannot share a house with a dog because of an allergy to dog hairs.
Why do these pet owners dump a beautiful pet that looks like he has been well cared for in the past.

Very sad

Is the tag in the ear red and does it have a number on if so the dog is a kar animal so I would give them a call.

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Thu 27 Mar 2014 9:56 am

yes it is a red tag and the number is 000161

Thanks bob and we shall call them now .

bargainboozeandwines · Thu 27 Mar 2014 10:09 am

Yes KAR did tag him and they would of released him back into the catalkoy area and they said he has found your girl because she feeds him.
That is basically all they had to tell me at the moment as the area dog warden is not in the office yet !

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Thu 27 Mar 2014 7:28 pm

Not an expert on dogs but looks older the 2 years. Also not one hundred per cent sure of the tagging. but my street dog "Tag" was done in 2005 and she was 007. On that basis I would say it was older! Do hope Stellastar and I between us can keep this bttt!!!

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Fri 28 Mar 2014 4:56 pm

KAR did say he was not an old dog.But did not say his age.

We are estimating his age from his playfulness,but he could be older as i am not a pro when it comes to dogs ages

Philoz · Post by **Philoz** » Fri 28 Mar 2014 7:14 pm

If it helps, I am 55 and still quite playful.

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Fri 28 Mar 2014 7:30 pm

but thanks Phil for keeping it at the top!!!

Sorry about that- couldn't help it

bargainboozeandwines · Sat 29 Mar 2014 12:33 pm

KAR picked him up this morning because we told them that where he had his operation it was weeping a little,they said they shall release him near to malpas hotel as that is where he was originally found.

Give him a day and he will find the shop again,he has been sleeping outside on the mat for the last week. Seems to like his bed N breakfast !

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Sat 29 Mar 2014 3:44 pm

A Little more news.

KAR came back to tell us that our new stray dog shall be kept in KAR kennels for a week as he does have an infection in his wound where he had the operation and needs a course of anti biotic s

Great news for him,but sadly when he is better he will be back out on the streets

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Sat 29 Mar 2014 8:15 pm

Come on some one, can't you give this guy a loving home? I am sure he is quite older than you think!!!

I am most tempted its a lovely dog I saw it this week and it just wanted to get in the car and come home ! Is the dog at KAR now ?

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Sun 30 Mar 2014 3:39 pm

Hi Mr A.

"Little Boy" as our girl in the shop calls him is currently at KAR convelesing which makes us very happy.

We noticed him licking his scar very often and after a closer look we saw some infection.

Thanks KAR for acting quickly and collecting him and taking him to the VET and treating him.

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Mon 31 Mar 2014 7:22 pm

Any up to date news from KAR?

bargainboozeandwines · Tue 01 Apr 2014 11:02 am

Owl Lady

I would imagine "Little Boy" is enjoying the rest and comfortable bed he has at the moment,we shall await his return to outside the shop at the end of this week !

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Tue 01 Apr 2014 4:26 pm

Thanks, and let us know if he returns there and Stellasstar and I will be back on duty.Won't we Stellasstar??

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Wed 09 Apr 2014 1:09 pm

Little boy has not returned as he is still in KAR getting better,the infection he had where the operation was carried out was very infected we are told,so he is still being looked after by KAR.

Thanks KAR

We are currently looking at or for an idea to raise some funds for KAR.

Any Ideas any 1?

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Wed 09 Apr 2014 3:47 pm

Thanks for the update. How about a big empty bottle on the counter for small change from customers, with a notice on it saying for KAR?

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Wed 09 Apr 2014 4:42 pm

sounds good.

I was thinking of a raffle,maybe for an assortment of 12 wines ?

Brend · Post by **Brend** » Wed 09 Apr 2014 5:30 pm

Hi
We have a pub and we raise quite a bit of money for our local kids hospice .
We have customers bringing their old books in and then others buy them by putting a donation in the collection box.
It is amazing how much it brings in for the charity.(about £280 a month) It costs nothing and people get a bargain book!!
We now have 3 book shelves and a lot of happy customers.

Not sure of the legality of selling raffle ticket, unless a registered Charity! Maybe a legal eagle can answer that?

I would have though that in your job you would welcome a 'hair of the dog'

An update on little boy

Our girl in the catalkoy shop just spoke with the doctor at KAR and the dog has made a great recovery and sadly will be put back out on the streets again very soon.

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Thu 24 Apr 2014 3:12 pm

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Mon 28 Apr 2014 7:18 pm

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Tue 29 Apr 2014 8:20 am

bargainboozeandwines · Wed 30 Apr 2014 11:29 am

what a lovely little fella he is ,to see him today it was like he felt he was back home outside the shop,he looks so happy with himself and maybe he knows chicken is on the menu again tonight,it is not the ideal place with having such a busy fast road in front of the shop !

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Fri 02 May 2014 2:02 pm

Is he still camped out there, sleeping bag and tent?

Groucho · Post by **Groucho** » Fri 02 May 2014 2:25 pm

No doubt he'll visit the Saturday Market at Lemar like he did last week,,, got fed two tins of dog food raw chicken and water.... stayed all day and was very friendly

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Fri 02 May 2014 4:59 pm

He had a breakfast of chicken livers and pasta this morning.

He slept all night on the mat outside the shop.

bargainboozeandwines · Post by **bargainboozeandwines** » Mon 05 May 2014 8:25 am

Little boy does bring a smile to my face,he is very territorial and already thinks he owns the car park.

He just had a breakfast of pasta,rice and sausages and half a litre of water,no doubt he is relaxing in the sunshine right now !

Its a hard life being homeless

bargainboozeandwines · Fri 09 May 2014 10:48 am

Strangely enough since the rains came little boy has not been around,fingers crossed he is camped out somewhere nice and dry with some food available.

bargainboozeandwines · Sun 11 May 2014 12:11 pm

Well i hope he has found some one to live with as little boy is still away from the shop.

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Sun 18 May 2014 9:29 am

Is there still no sign of him?

Sadly OL he has not been back to the shop,but that could be good for him as he may have found a home,we hope !

Now at the pia bella roundabout there is maybe 8 or 10 dogs maybe more who have joined together and have pack temperament or that is how it looked to me when i passed there yesterday evening.

They where all sat in the centre of the roundabout barking quite madly at the passing traffic,to some one a little afraid of dogs IMHO could be very very scary,i feel it could be a sad end for those animals in that pack.

sophie · Post by **sophie** » Sun 18 May 2014 3:36 pm

The dogs at the roundabout you describe are known as "the roundabout dgs" ther live in the area all the time and most are fed by the local cafes in the evening or when cafes are closing. People look out for them and are not a "pack" in a derogatory manner, rather, a group of dogs who live there all the time. Yes, they bark at traffic sometimes, but please just ignore them. If you complain to the authorities they will probably be put down, and why should they be, just because they don't have proper homes to to go to?

I have been driving past the roundabout at Tango to buddha for the last 5 years and have never noticed them until yesterday,i shall not be complaining as that is not in my nature,i found it strange to see such a large pack of dogs together as i have not seen it before.
Lets hope that the traffic island can carry on being their home.

Owl Lady · Post by **Owl Lady** » Sun 18 May 2014 6:32 pm

They are normally found on the grassed strip out side Manipenni and Shooters, that is why you haven't seen them on the roundabout. Never seen them causing any trouble.
