Pet's Quirks
Hodgey always goes for a refreshing dip in the shallow lip of the pool after his walks. He is an absolute beauty.

How does your pet enrich your life?
I adopted Hodge on 29Aug'17 after a good friend asked me if I was ready for another best mate. I lost my previously adopted dog, Capone, due to cancer. I had a Saturday morning appointment to euthanise him after veterinary advice. I came home from work on the Friday prior to find he'd passed away. He was in his favourite sleeping position and I thought he was asleep. I wasn't sure if I was ready but I chose to meet Hodge and we clicked immediately. He got me through an incredibly difficult time of grief. His love is priceless.
