Sam Harrington-Lowe is Director, Founder and Managing Editor of Silver Magazine, an edgy, exciting magazine for the 50+ market where she examines what your Midlife Coming of Age is, why it’s so amazing, and how you can get there!
Last month, she published an article talking about how she has recently fostered a blind, deaf 15-year-old pug. She says that whilst this has made life a little more complicated it’s also been rather magical…
Sam says of Miss Bones, her new arrival that ‘Her owner died. Imagine being fostered out at 15 after a lifetime with one family. When she arrived she was frightened and in flight mode.
Very hard for a pug that can barely even see if it’s day or night. After a day or two crashing around trying to escape, the pheromone diffuser and industrial strength hemp oil kicked in and she settled, found her stride, started to trust us, and we formed some routines.’
‘She’s amazing. She’s mapped out the ground floor of the house, doing laps over and over, touching things with her nose to test the boundaries, and walks around it without hesitation now.
We have to be careful of not ambushing her by leaving things lying around where she’s not expecting them. Added bonus that daughter now has to be tidier, or Miss Bones goes a cropper…’
