Earlier this week, Monty escaped from home and was very sadly, hit by a car. He sustained significant injuries and of course, the family are absolutely devastated but Rosie, his owner, being the gorgeous, positive person she is, is still smiling and is hopeful of a good recovery for him.

In private, Rosie joked to me about the absurd vets bill she now faces but of course, she would pay anything for her beloved pets (and other peoples, I don't doubt).

As many of you know, Rosie gives her time, care and love to countless family pets on a daily basis across Mansfield and I am confident that at a time like this, her friends and those families would welcome the chance to pay her back in this small way, even it is just loose change you are able to donate.

I am aiming to raise HALF of the expected costs so wish me luck (this is my first ever crowdfund experience). Please also wish Monty a huge amount of luck, who is in surgery as I type this. Let's get him home to Rosie, Ryan and their beautiful girls, who are missing him terribly. Remember to share this post far and wide on Facebook. Thanks very very much! xxx
