We had in our care Jack the Border Collie 17 years old – Junior the Cattle Dog 6 years old and Mishka the cat! Two days into the sit Jack became very unwell and we drove him to the afterhours emergency vet in Inglewood. The decision was taken by his owners after consulting with the vet to have him euthanised. Due to Jack’s age and health problems at the time we feel that this was the kindest but hardest decision the owners had to make. The vets were just wonderful and made him comfortable until the owners arrived in order for them to be with him that night.

During our time in Bargo we had the Fires Near Me Alert on our phone as this was bushfire territory, so much so that the day after we left the owners were evacuated and their property water bombed!
