Introducing our pet of the month for June! Smudge! My name is Smudge. I am eight months old and I am a shmoodle. That means I have some shih tzu and some Maltese and some poodle in me. I was born on a beautiful farm near Mudgee but I now live at Concord with my family. There is Mum and Dad, Jack the cat and Elektra the cat. I love playing with Jack and Elektra. Jack is an older cat and sometimes he doesnt want to play but Elektra wants to play all the time. I love to jump and run like the wind around our backyard and play with all my toys. My favourite food is barbecued chicken and I also love raw chicken mince – yum! My favourite chewies are beef tendons: I can chew on them for hours and they keep my teeth sparkling white. Eight weeks ago on a Saturday morning I was playing in the backyard with mum. She picked up a ball to throw for me but I couldnt wait and I jumped up for it. I missed it and fell and broke my leg. It was terrible. It was so painful but mum and dad took me to Concord Vet and they gave me something for the pain and then I had to go to SASH for some surgery. Because of my surgery I have had to be kept quiet and confined, so for the last eight weeks I have been spending each weekday at Concord Vet in “vet day care” and I have really loved it. All the nurses and doctors have been so good to me and have been giving me lots of love and attention each day until mum and dad collect me in the evening. I get to see all the dogs and cats that come in to Concord Vet and I tell them what a great place it is! Mum and Dad were very pleased that I was being looked after so well – the doctors and nurses always checked my leg and made sure it was healing well. They were always able to reassure Mum and Dad that I was doing fine. Last week I was able to have the pins taken out of my leg and now Im as good as new. Next week I can start going back to work with mum. She works at Trinity Grammar School (that’s Dr Dave’s old school!) for the Head Master and he has a poodle called Oscar. Oscar and I play together and I also get to talk to all the teachers and students. I love it because I get lots and lots of belly rubs. I even have my own ID tag! Its a big day for a little dog but its great fun. I’m a very happy puppy.
