THERE ARE always scenes on the television
news that for one reason or another are distressing. Recently I was taken aback by the picture of a
small puppy who had been caught up in the blazing fires that were ravaging Los Angeles. It’s hard
enough for humans to understand some of these
traumas; pets and other animals must be so frightened. Shortly after I had seen this I heard about
Smokey Paws’ mission to equip every UK fire
engine with a set of pet oxygen masks so that as
many pets as possible can be saved from the effects
of fire and smoke. More details are on page 55.
We’re celebrating elderly felines this month - if
you have a senior cat you’re proud of, we’d love to
see a photo. Email jill@ashdown.co.uk and tell us
a bit about your O.A.C. (Old Aged Cat!)
Well, the rain’s coming down again so I’ll get
back to my book - oh, you can win a copy of it too.
See page 14 to find out more and be transported
to warmer climes.
Till next month
