Well i've got round to it finally. This is Jack's page I've delayed doing this as there as been some problems surrounding his microchip......:?
Well we moved in to this house in October and we agreed to re-home jack who lived here with the previous owners sadly the eldery lady had to go into a home suffering with dementia and Jack was fending for himself living in the garage since last December poor poor boy:shock:
a neighbour was feeding him.
I've just found out what a dreadful start to his young life he has had. I took him along to the vets 2 weeks ago and they tell me he's no more than 3 years old i thought he was older than that. then they checked for a microchip and low and behold he had one but and this is where the uncertainty comes in the elderly lady was not the registered owner:shock: the vets says he belongs to someone else in the village:( Oh no how do i tell the boys....I left the vets feeling very sad we had just built up a good level of confidence with him and he's finally begun to accept us i was gutted to say the least..
The vet has been trying to contact the person on the data base but with no luck.. phone numbers have changed and she has even written to them. but has had no reply..
I've found out that Jack's first owners moved away and he got left behind:cry: so the old lady took him but never took him to a vet ever!
Because they have had no reply they say with all the efforts made to contact the first set of owners and no response that next week we can update the microchip details and officaly become his owners:)
So fingers crossed, I feel so sorry for him 3 sets of owners in as many years and now we have arrived with one very big hairy golden retriever they seem to be getting on and Jack comes into the house at certain times of the day and we keep Max out of the way.... but thats on another thread
I will update you all next week when it's all sorted out but please cross your fingers for us
