Rupert's Recovery

Kerry from Ponsonby

Meet my boy, Rupert. He is totally obsessed with tennis balls.

The weekend before last (Sunday 3/11/19), his addiction literally sent him over the edge. He blindly chased a ball off a bank landing a couple of metres below onto the road. To be fair, and in his defence, I recall a similar moment of… View more
Meet my boy, Rupert. He is totally obsessed with tennis balls.

The weekend before last (Sunday 3/11/19), his addiction literally sent him over the edge. He blindly chased a ball off a bank landing a couple of metres below onto the road. To be fair, and in his defence, I recall a similar moment of stupidity myself skiing. But that's another story.

Off to Animal A&E (nearby thankfully) where first x-rays were taken. The next day a specialist confirmed surgery would be needed.

Diagnosis - severe carpal injury
Treatment plan - Right pancarpal arthrodesis

Please help if you can towards surgery and follow-up care for Rupert.

Many thanks and see you at the park!

Hi all, unfortunately, our home was burgled on Tuesday 12 November. The thieves got away with almost $30,000 of our most precious belongings and we are absolutely devastated. We have been able to get some information from a neighbours CCTV footage:

1) The burglars were inside our property between 2-4pm on Tuesday afternoon.
2) The vehicle the burglars were driving was a silver / light blue station wagon (possibly a Subaru Legacy or Mazda 6). The vehicle had a yellow space saver wheel at the left rear.

If anyone has any dashcam footage along Valley Rd, Mt Eden on Tuesday afternoon or recalls seeing anything suspicious, could you please get in touch? Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.
