[
One week tomorrow and my babies are released from prison They have had enough now and so have we, Louis in particular is going stir crazy - not surprising on 1 and 1/2 hours exercise a week! Can't wait to get them home for snuggles We have an expensive shopping trip this weekend as we need to get dog beds, cat bed, cat climbing frame, litter tray, toys etc They are going to be so spoilt on release
OH you lucky thing - 1 week will hopefully go quickly and I didn't even have to edit Louie barking out of the video.
I wish I could rally up enough support to get something done about the conditions in Quarantine. Just a cover over the roof would mean that the kennels/sleeping areas/bedding are not totally soaked when it rains. I know when we had kennels after hosing them down we would get the excess water out with a rubber broom, meaning the kennels would dry quickly - somehow I don't think this is done. At $39 a day I expect a lot more than what we are getting and unfortunately we don't have a choice. Oh and another gripe - I asked if anybody had booked the exercises area we were in for the 12-12.30 slot and was immediately told that all dogs were only allowed 30 minutes outside and we had had our 30 minutes. And while I am at it - visiting days are Monday, Wednesday and friday 11.30-12.30 it sucks!
I feel better now
Hello I was in the exercise yard close by with a toy poodle
I have phoned the "boss" Chris at head office and he talked down to me as if I was a child.
all he could say was he would look into the damp dogs and smell when he visited on Wednesday.I still havent heard from him
Apparently they are going to make all the Quarantine Staions uniform which could mean only 2 days visiting for 1 hour .
It is on the website about only half an hour in the outside yards.why they enforce this when no one is coming into the yard after me is beyond me.
Short staffed was another comment made by him,maybe he should spend time there and see just what is done or not done.
The whole system is purely a revenue raiser.How can it be "Quarantine" when one dog after another walks over the same yard,passage way to go outside.
and uses the grooming room one after another???? Plus the water bowls in the outside yards are not sterilised between dogs and most of the time a dish is in the yard I use for my boy to drink out of after it has been used by the previous dog.
Cant wait to get him out of that place and if I import again will go through NZ also.
might be 90 days but they are in a private house and a friend just had a British go there from UK and was only cahrged $12 aday and his freight over to Perth
cheers
I always feel that the Staff are doing us a favour!!
