I have always been madly in love with animals and as soon as I got married I started on my collection! 19 years later and I have had quite a few..... At the moment I have 3 cocker spaniels Millie, Bella and Florence, 4 cats Spice, Hero, Horatio, Dotty, 1 house rabbit called Chester, 5 chickens (not named at the moment) these ladies were battery hens that we rescued in June, 1 fish called Bob! I have 2 teenage daughters Rhiannon and Lucy they have both inherited the animal loving gene. My eldest daughter has just started training to be a veterinary nurse at Churchcroft Veterinary Practice in Chilwell so for me this is fantastic news!!! My husband of 19 years was not an animal person when we first met but he has had to adapt and with some considerable training now actually loves animals and Bella is his particular favourite! If I get a spare minute I love reading, and listening to music, I am also a member of the Wollaton Park Inner Wheel Club. In February Millie had her first litter of puppies, it was the most wonderful experience and I have now decided to breed my ladies and I am now a registered breeder with the Kennel Club and have my own Kennel name Trigania (not very imaginative I know!). I do not believe in puppy farms and my puppies were cuddled and loved and given the very, very best start to their lives. I am still in touch with all the puppies new owners and love to get updates on how they are getting on. The reason I have set up my own business “Creature Care” is because that I’ve had so many times in the past where I have had the heartbreaking moment when you leave your animal at the kennels, my babies have been devastated and to be honest for most of my holiday I kept worrying and wondering if they were ok. Pets thrive on love and attention and also routine, when we take them to kennels they don’t understand that you are just away for your 2 week jolly’s and will soon be back, as far as they are concerned you have gone and left them forever. The joy when you return is soon forgotten when they suddenly remember what you have put them through and you then get the silent, you deserted me treatment!!! I once took my cats and dogs to a kennels where there was not much distance between the two areas by the time I got back my cats were a nervous wreck as the noise from the dogs stressed them out so much and my dogs were exhausted as the other dogs were constantly barking and they never relaxed. Hopefully I will be able to provide a caring, loving service to allow your pets to carry on living in the comfort of their own surroundings whilst you can sit back and relax and enjoy your holiday knowing your favourite pet is being given the best possible care and attention.
