Here is one of the female cats we managed to trap and take to the vet in Ennis to get spayed. This is her arriving back in Scariff after staying over in the vets to recover. The vet gives them a long-acting antibiotic to cover them for two weeks after the operation.
Last week we went to the GSPCA sanctuary to continue our volunteer work which involves photographing the dogs there to improve their chances of being rehomed. It seems to work as staff have told us that dogs have found a forever home as a direct result of getting a good photo up on facebook. Hurray! We had a great day and Mollie and Maddie got a walk around the grounds. We brought the dogs out in twos and sometime fours (with the smallies!) for a run in the field and took action shots and then some portraits to see their beautiful faces. I do hope they all get loving homes soon. I've been saying to Jamie that we need to photograph the cats soon too as a lot of the black ones seem to be overlooked. Personally I love a nice sleek black cat! I have one and she's black as the night and so shiny and nice to stroke and ridiculously friendly too.
We've just got back from three days at the BirdWatch Ireland All Ireland Conference which was so interesting. It's such a great charity and I really enjoy volunteering with them and Mollie often volunteers at stalls and attracts lots of attention and helps recruit new members too! The highlight was meeting a little boy called Oliver with his bird notebook. Start them young! Birdwatching is such a great hobby for children and gets them out in nature.
