Wisecracks Chat Board
 
 

	As animal lovers we know only too well how difficult it is to find somewhere secure, where your pets will be loved and understood and kept safe, if for any reason you can not take them with you. We have owned most varieties of pets over the years. Our dogs do not go to boarding kennels, we take them camping and are basically tied down with our busy household, so we take shifts if we do need to be away. We therefore have found ourselves discussing the fact that there is nowhere we would be happy to send our dogs, if we were to leave them. This has inspired us to offer boarding to preferably small dogs who are cat friendly, we would consider larger dogs if they were very well behaved. Any boarding dogs must be sociable with other animals, vaccinated and bring their meals, favourite bed and toys and any medication with them. Our boarders will be given all of their home comforts, being able to come and go through the cat door, totally safe from traffic and other hazards, such as loneliness!!
	Sadly I am unable to board cats, although they are obviously a great love of mine, but firstly I can not risk introducing any infections to my breeding cats. secondly cats are not communal dwellers and would not be at all happy in our busy home as mere visitors. As for birds, again they will have loads of stimulation, my cats ignore birds except outside on the lawn, they live with a few marauding avians and have learned respect. We are happy to board other pets, having lived with Rats, Mice, Guinea Pigs, Geckos, large and small dogs, more than a dozen cats, a Ring Neck Parrot and a Rainbow Lorikeet we are equipped to give most pets a go, what we don't know we will ask.
	To discuss your pets needs and special little ways, free to either email using the link on my home page or give us a call on 07 5420462. Room at the Inn is limited so it would pay to book ahead, if you are that organized! We will be happy to send you daily email updates on your pets stay while you are away.   Cost Dogs $10/  day Birds $5 / day

We have just had our first boarders. We enjoyed having Alex and Basil for two weeks, they fit into our household beautifully, and I think went home very happy campers! Alex is a beautiful Alexandrine, and his dog Basil is the same cross breed as Gizmo, a Chihuahua x Pomeranian. Gizmo was a great host and after a few unwanted advances, he realized Basil was not Basilla, and welcomed him platonically into his home. Our young cat Anne Dante got up on Alec's perch and played tug of war with his chicken bones, but all in good fun. Although our home is busy, it felt relatively quiet when alex left, he is a chatter box, and great company, do hope he does not add large dog barking to his dog impersonations, however it could be a good security ploy!
