A bit about me


Gumby RIP GUMBY - your PAWsome legacy and insPAWration will continue ❤your mom, Dido Abandoned in a township, and rescued by CLAW (Community Led Animal Welfare), I went on to be adopted and embraced by the Blagden-pack and taken to dog training where I was certified as a Canine Good Citizen. I am registered as a Paws for People Therapy Dog and visit lots of special people in various institutions. I foster a few CLAWbies who have been neglected, abandoned, abused or need some special TLC outside a shelter. I am also very involved in networking animals needing to find their PAWfect forever home and PAWsome happily ever after! Years ago I had my DNA analysed and I am in fact a Pekignese-Schnauzer-Yorkshire Terrier, with a drop of Pomeranian-Jack Russel and just a smidgen of Boxer... yip, basically I'm just a paveMUNT special super-callused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis ;-D
