DORIS ATE A LIZARD


Doris ate a rubber toy lizard on Wednesday. My son left it sitting next to her and when he came back to get it, all that was left was a leg and a tail. Now it was soft rubber so it wasn't too bad. But when placed in water it expands!! So of course we were stressed out hoping it would make it's way through Doris's bowels before it expanded and stuck. Poo inspection Thursday was negative. Friday doris delivered a very green baby lizard (in many pieces) Congratulations Doris!

WHO IS DORIS?




At the Doris shop I have a blackboard outside with a story about Doris. It's called "Who is Doris?" This is the current feature...


Sometimes you become obsessed with your dog. You know?! I obviously did and with good reason. She is my 1st "child". She was always getting into strife and eating things she shouldn't. This led to lots of visits to the vet. Doris endured many painfil proceedures with tolerance and patience. She always showed compassion for the other sick animals and fondness for the people who helped her recouperate. She was strong, brave and loving through it all.

FAIRY GODMOTHER


TEDDY BEAR






Doris has been described as a living teddy bear.

SISTER SINDU







Doris has a sister (not biological) called Sindu. She is a standard English Bull Terrior. Sindu was named after my yoga teacher and she is now 8 years old. She came to us through a friend who had rescued her from one of those bad breeders who was about to put her down because she was born with congenital deafness. Sindu learnt sign language very easily. She is a wild child, she never stops running around, chasing butterflies and chewing her ball.
