The Awful Truth

Questions & Answers

Hi All, Dustin ere,

I know lots of you would like to ask some questions about the sanctuary and what goes on in the day to day running of the facility. If you would like to send your questions to me I will only be too pleased to answer them as best I can......in my own special way :-))

OK then.....I'm ready. Get writing. Heeeeeee Heeeeee.

And... now it's up!

Hurray! The gremlins have been over-thrown and our main site is back in action again at www.limerickanimalwelfare.com - thank you Philip!

Oops... Website's down!

Our main website www.limerickanimalwelfare.com has been down since Thursday... We're working on getting it back up but it may take a few days, sorry! In the meantime, you can still view all our dogs for rehoming on the Irish Animals site - just browse homes needed in Limerick.

And of course, Dustin will keep blogging!

Dustin reporting: More news from the Sanctuary

Hi All,


Well I know you are all waiting to hear about Margorie, our new arrival. The excitement of new babies arriving making us feel all paternal. Well as the girls looked at Margorie the other day, suddenly there was lots and lots and lots of breaking wind, and it wasn't me this time for a change, after an hour we were all very deflated, all that extra weight that Margorie was carrying soon dissapeared, like a baloon with a pin stuck in it. So, Marge, thanks for nothing, but we still love you. Margorie took one big leap in the air, glanced at me with a big grin and I could see the relief on her face as she whispered, preggers ! me? ... you must be joking.




I have now got my own paddock and a brand new shelter, called an Arc, and its all for little old me. All I need now is a little lady to share it with. I am sure in time that will happen also.










The pigs, Wayne & Coleen are now safe and comfy in their own pen and no longer roam into MY paddock and steal all my food, no longer roam into the goats pen and steal all their food and they even used to steal the grub from under the noses of Izzie, Jack & Seamus...what a cheek. Jodie got some nice electric fencing to keep us free from pigs....yipee.








Finally we have another new arrival, a feathered friend this time. A lady found a male Pheasant unable to fly and in danger of being killed as he could not make his escape from preditors without the aid of his tail plumage which has been ripped out. Cranberry, as we fondly named him, will be staying with us until his feathers grow back and he can be successfully released back into the wild. In the meantime he is growing strong, eating all round him, apples, bananas, carrots and grains. Boy is he some eater, I will be surprised if he can get off the ground when the time comes if he does not curtail his eating. I wonder would he like a spin around the paddock on my back....I'm a nice kind of guy and would love to let him feel the wind under his feathers as I gallop around my paddock. Thats a plan then, I need a strap for him to hold on to....JODIE.....come ere I want you.....







Chow for now, Dustin xx

Hi Everyone

We've been so busy, I've not had time to keep you posted. A lovely new goat called Marjorie arrived last week and she moved into the field with Mabel, Ernest and me and we're all getting along great. A little bird told me today that Majororie might be having kids soon, so I'd better keep my eye on her! If she does have babies, I hope they behave themselves and don't bleat all night and keep me awake!

There's been loads of activity here in the fields. Jodie got in some men to put up lots of new fencing so now we've got 5 paddocks. The word is I'm getting one to myself and Jodie has bought a new shelter just for me - apparently the pigs and goats don't like sharing with me - I can't think why - it might be because I keep peeing in their stables!!

Here's a photo of Marjorie, isn't she pretty- pity about the one horn! I'll keep you posted if I hear any news about her

Cheers Dustin
