In Memoriam

For over six months, Ibbie has not been in good health, and today we faced the difficult decision to let her go. The vet agreed it was time, given her numerous health issues; her mouth was deteriorating, her face had sores from scratching, she had stopped grooming herself, leaving her fur matted. Her constant requests for food and loss of weight and muscle waste pointed to other concerns, like dementia, diabetes, and kidney issues. With a heavy heart, we chose to release Ibbie from her suffering.

Ibbie was born in Qatar, we adopted her from Qatar Animal Welfare Society (QAWS) in 2011 she was originally called Angelica, but we renamed her after my Arabic manager to Ibbie (Ibrahim). We left Qatar to work in Spain, but Ibbie travelled through Dubai and then Netherlands before arriving at Madrid, Spain. She stayed there for 2yrs before travelling back to the Caravan in Tocketts Mill for a 6 months stint and then onward via a Ferry to Jersey Channel islands. We came back from there and soon enough she was on her way again to the Oman. She was in Oman for 2yrs before finally coming back to the UK.

She has 5 passports ! Qatar, Spain, UK, Jersey Channel Islands and Oman.
