🥰 Meet Our Pets Monday! 🥰
Every Monday, we share one of our staff members’ companion animals and give you a peek into their personality, quirks, and life at home. This week, we’re excited to spotlight Nadine’s pup, Star — an approximately 11-year-old Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) and Border Collie cross! 🐕💙
1️⃣ How long have you had your pet and where did you get them from?
"I got Star 11 years ago from the Saskatoon SPCA. She quickly became a beloved member of the family and has been by my side ever since." 🏡💕
2️⃣ What is their funniest or weirdest habit?
"Star loves to hold a toy and bark at you like she wants you to throw it. But the moment you try to grab it from her, she runs away! She definitely knows how to make fetch a little more complicated." 😂🐾
3️⃣ If they had a job, what would it be?
"Star would be a bodyguard! She is very protective of her people and takes her job of keeping everyone safe very seriously." 🛡️🐶
4️⃣ What are their nicknames?
Tarry, Starry Poopus, Poopus, Stinky, Old Lady 💖
5️⃣ What’s one preventative care step you never skip for your pet?
"Senior blood work! Star gets annual blood work to make sure she is in tip-top shape and to monitor her organ function as she gets older. Keeping up with preventative care helps us catch changes early and keep her feeling her best." 💉🩺
