A Message from Sharon Crawford

It’s with a heavy heart we had to say farewell to our beloved Widget who chose us after Samantha passed earlier this year. 💔

Thank you to Dr Rachael Moon who came to our home to help her pass, which allowed us to feed her the last meal of cat food, chicken and chocolate and say goodbye surround by us and her sister Trinity.

May she run free with Sam and her mother Scarlett and finally be able to jump up on every couch and bed she wants to.

We may have only had her a short time but she absolutely captured our hearts and made us realise what an amazing breed Mannies are.

R.I.P. Ch. Gallifreyan Nymphadora Tonks, aka Widget, 18/10/2010 to 25/09/2024 💔🐾

We are often asked about the availability of puppies or older dogs via Messenger. Whilst we are still very happy to help here, I thought I would post a link to a website called Dogzonline where most of the Dogs Australia Registered breeders will advertise if something is available, for those who prefer not to ask us here.

I do know there are some puppies currently available and younger dogs/adults coming available soon, so touch base here in Messenger or check out Dogzonline. Its also a good resource to identify breeders in your area if you just want a chat. Not all breeders are listed to feel free to ask via messenger if you need more info.

UPDATE from Sharon Crawford

Just touching base to let you know how the girls are doing.

As you can see Trinity has now claimed the curve on my back as her absolutely fave sleeping spot 😂 and Widget loves giving me kisses.

We saw the vet this week and the girls are going to need some serious dental work. They both have some teeth in the back with infection and huge tartare build up. So we will have that done in a few weeks once I save up for it.

Otherwise they are both in mostly good health, couple of fatty cysts but that’s all.

We got the information that Trinity was only desexed last year with a likely finding of cancer - she currently has 3 mammary lumps. Widget also has the same and some blood markers for infection which could just be her teeth. So that’s the current state of their health. They both struggle a bit with poor eyesight, diminishing hearing and a bit of senility but coping really well.

Socially they have claimed the home and taught us they love BBQ chicken, sardines and really any human food we choose to share. We’ve been walking more when it’s not raining and they seem to enjoy being out and about but not too keen on other dogs that might walk near them.

The three dogs seem to all be getting along very well. Our cat is adapting to them being here - by refusing to be anywhere near them or hiding in the wardrobe.
