Hi all,
Just a heads up that I've finally bitten the bullet and disconnected my landline (it went b**g, too expensive to get sorted and the provider is just useless 😡😡)
Not that many people still have it on their records, but (03) 9746 1292 is no longer operating.....bit sad, really, after so many years 😢

Zenchel is owned and run by Sylvia Power who has bred, shown, trained, trialed and loved Labrador Retrievers for over three decades.

😲😲 Actually it doesn't feel that bad 😎 That was at the corner of Antimony Mine Rd - thought I should pull over and take a shot of it !! It was 45 all the way to Merrimu.
The dogs have slept all afternoon in here and the cats are comfy in the aircon 😺
Thinking of everybody in the Otways 😢

I have several individual dressing packs (from my care of an elderly friend, since passed). Any wildlife rescue groups interested? Seems a waste to throw them away.

It's so upsetting to see signs everywhere you go, begging you to not be abusive or threatening to staff 😢.....retail, medical, veterinary....everywhere.

Just wanted to say thank you to all my clients - every damned one of them😁for being considerate, cooperative and flexible when making arrangements for the care of their furry friends.

Just a quick thank you to everybody that gives their Zenchel dogs the best life, including (but not limited to!) the owners who "do things" or allow me to "do things" with their dogs!

Kirsten's Harri won QC/CD !
Anne and Frank's Willson was reserve Challenge Dog
Sara's Nina was Neuter In Show !

Thank you so much for giving these dogs such a wonderful life 🙏

The temperatures and winds do not seem to be approaching the extremes that were feared. The Zenchel crew are staying put, hoping there will be no uncontrollable breakout from the Bullengarook fire.

Best wishes to Julia and Gary and all involved with the Gisborne Kennels evacuation and fingers crossed for an uneventful day in Bullengarook.

Thank you so much for so many offers of help if we need it - very grateful 💗

Of course huge thanks go to all the emergency service personnel that sacrifice so much year after year to protect us all ❤️❤️
