Tony Mitchell - Kiama N.S.W., Australia
Heidi
Heidi came to my wife June and I from a lovely breeder at Cowra, a country town in mid-Western New South Wales (N.S.W), Australia. We picked her up at the age of 7 weeks and she came home with us to Kiama, on the South Coast of N.S.W. She settled in with us and our other Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog) Toby, an exciting sable- merle boy. Heidi, being my wifes’ pup, was trained by herself, growing up in our household all meant obedience training, agility training and lots of activity. As time went on, Heidi was trialling in both disciplines. She obtained quite a high level of titles in both disciplines, also gaining several places at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in agility. As years went on, Heidi retired from competition at the age of about 12 years.
I went home and got onto the internet. I found Amanda’s Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy, with some good recommendations. I immediately made contact via the website and ordered the program. It arrived in Australia in 2 days! Heidi started the program straight away. Her blood test came back to normal. She has been a Delta Pet Therapy Dog for the last 7 years. She visits local Dementia Care Facilities and interacts with all the patients. Heidi, still at her age, loves visiting, always waits at the door to get her bandana put on and then finds someone looking a bit down and cheers them up. Heidi is now 17 years young. Our Vets have been very helpful and supportive all the way through. Heidi now walks about 200 yards on the beach and is having 1 serving of drops and 1 hydro session per day plus the diet. I am forever grateful to Amanda for her program. P.S. Heidi chased a Kelpie dog the other night at agility training; it was chasing a ball and she didn’t catch it but enjoyed the chase! She came back smiling and tail wagging. By the way, Heidi had 3 pups who are 11 years old now and still trialling. 1 of the pups won her event at the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012 and the same event in the Sheltie Nationals in the same year.
