Dear Everyone. These are not vermin, they are beautiful, intelligent curious creatures. They are wild and free, so they don’t belong to me. But my heart belongs to them. Another generation brought up happy & healthy 🥰💚🦊

To the man who caught my baby like a rugby ball when I fell today, thank you. But thank you even more for not shaming me, this mum thing is hard & we make mistakes. The only thing he said was “you’re doing great” and I could’ve cried from the kindness.

On National Fox Day let me tell you about Gavin. 13 yrs ago my life was a chaotic mess. He hobbled into my garden shot by a pellet. I had no knowledge or experience. I googled for help, called police & papers & I nursed him back to health. He lived out his days with me🦊❤️1/

I had a house made for him, I went on to care for his kids & his grandkids. He was shot twice more, I nursed him again. Eventually he passed. I didn’t know it then but he was the start of this incredible journey. I still think of Gav. He found the right person at the right time❤️

Hey @BBCNews she didn’t die, she was murdered. It was femicide. Also, she was a university lecturer, a nurse & an associate head of nursing & midwifery. If she was an escort her job title would have been in the headline. Jfc I am so tired. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

It’s not that big a deal but I know what it’s like to be terrified in a car with other drivers just treating you like an idiot. We followed in our car to see her to safety. This is how women look after women & also prevented head on collisions. Think before you honk that horn!.

I really don’t care who has an opinion on this. Today was my first Mother’s Day in 14 years without my Geoffrey and it hurt like hell. Love is love & grief is grief. There was no card ‘from him’ and that was very hard because I’m not his mum anymore, he’s gone.

When people post photos of their late companion animals months or sometimes years after they’ve passed, it’s for a reason. They’re still hurting, still grieving & keeping their memory alive eases that. If you know you know, if you don’t know, hey, be nice anyway. #Grief 💔

When Geoffrey was a baby he pulled up my new carpet, p*ssed in my handbag, caused us to re-route a holiday by 3 connecting flights & got me 3 points on my license for getting out of his harness & jumping on my lap while driving. I’d chop off my hand to have one more day with him.

It’s good to be home🥳. It’s been challenging & traumatic but I have so much to be grateful for🥹. My head is busy making plans for all the animal adventures that lay ahead of us, daydreaming about all our firsts🫠. First, some physical healing then we rise💪🏽. #AnimalRescue ❤️

I would love to spend the day on the sofa or mooching around the shops. But sadly I’ll be running around in the mud all day because unbelievably there’s still people who think it’s fun to chase animals to their death☹️. #KeepTheBan 🦊

I still call your name. I still keep your bowls & beds clean & ready for you. I still sleep diagonally on the bed to give you space. I still have our biscuit bucket by the bed. When I close my eyes I can still smell your ears. 6 months gone today. I miss you baby. #Grief 💔

I want to express my admiration for the army of Animal Rights protesters who put their own safety at risk today at Aintree. 118 protestors were arrested. They won’t be thinking of themselves in custody. They’ll be thinking of yet another avoidable death. #GrandNational2023

All gussied up & ready to stand in front of a school full of children & talk to them about the importance of kindness to animals. What could possibly go wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️😬

Grip onto your heart tightly because it’s about to burst out of your chest💞. Meet cub excitedly exploring a world outside the safe den😱. Mum’s nearby reassuring him that he’s safe here. This is what matters to me. This is the innocence I choose to fight for✊🏽🦊. #AnimalsCount❤️

So little media coverage of the Russian oil spill in the Black Sea. People used to care about environmental disasters. A catastrophe for shoreline wildlife. A horrible death for an untold number. Where is the outrage? I’m so bloody tired.

Of course I’m not heating up scones so the foxes can have a warm treat on a cold night. That would just be mental 😂😂

That moment when you realise (again) that there’s no medicine to give, no bowls to fill, no wee wees to do, no belly rubs to give & no arthritis massages to do. So you just sit on the floor because you feel totally unemployed & can’t remember what life was like before loss💔

So @SuttonCouncil have confirmed that they will continue to shoot foxes dead on the Beddington Wetlands regardless of cubbing season for ‘nature conservation’. I have done everything within my limited power to no avail. I call on residents & sympathetic councillors for support 🙏🏽

I wanted to make Winter’s birth registration special, so with every ounce of my energy I got us all dollied up!💅🏽🎉. But instead of balloons or streamers we took some bird seed & biscuits for the birds & squirrels outside the registry office🐦🐿️. #PerfectDay 💕.#ForTheAnimals❤️

So it turns out my aunty in Iran has accidentally started a cat sanctuary. She started feeding 2 ferals 3 years ago. Her youngest son (my cousin) set up a shelter in her front yard & now she has SEVEN residents & feeds & cleans all “guests”. I guess it runs in the family🤷🏽‍♀️😂🐈

I feel ok, a bit better. Most importantly all the animals have been fed & looked after thanks to fabulous friends. If they had suffered I would’ve suffered more. I’m not at full capacity but they will never know that. No matter what they will as feel safe & relaxed as always.

Called today about a fox. Sadly he was already cold so I did the only thing I could, which was move him to a secluded place of rest. We can’t save them all, but we can offer respect & dignity. Death is part of life & tomorrow another one will need us. #AnimalRescue❤️

He comes in the daylight now, which makes it easier to look after him. Being separate from the other foxes allows me to give him what he needs. I hope this continues until he’s well🤞🏽❤️🦊. #AnimalRescue 🫶🏽

Lots of people tagging me in the grotesque cruelty of the Met Police car ramming a confused cow in West London. I don’t want to reshare the distressing video but please add your voice by contacting the @RSPCA_official . If there was ever a line, this is it. #AnimalCruelty

Thank you all for bearing with me these last few days. It turns out your heart is so much heavier when it’s shattered into a million pieces so I’m exhausted. I’ll talk again about the Crow Crew, Pete the disabled pigeon, the foxes & the badger. But for now it’s just #Grief 💔

He’s been fed, watered & monitored overnight 🫠. Finally the moment we’ve all been waiting for…. The release of the Tesco One😅. Back to his flock to live his best life🦅. #AnimalRescue❤️

I can’t believe he’s been gone a whole week😔. His last puppaccino in a Christmas cup, 2 days before he waved me off at the rainbow bridge🌈. Cling tightly to today, because tomorrow’s not a promise💔

On the rare occasion one if the foxes makes a morning appearance I know it’s very likely there’s a problem. They trust me. He pitched up at very early perhaps asking for help. He’s obviously in pain. As always I will do my very best to help. #AnimalRescue 🦊🤞🏽

Yesterday morning this was his tree. Today it’s just stumps. I’m still numb from this happening on my doorstep. I spend my life fighting for animals & yet I’ve failed my own. After the tears have dried I’ll find the strength to fight back. Thank you for the all the support❤️🙏🏽

Pete the disabled pigeon came to visit in my dreams last night, he was in a new garden & looked healthy. I think he was saying goodbye & he’s passed away. Silly to some but I believe it. Safe travels my friend, you were loved🌈🐦❤️

For those of you that remember my fireworks burn victim, things are looking up😀. I’ve medicated him as regularly as he’ll allow😅. The wound has scabbed over which is very promising & he seems much brighter. Not a great photo but trust me, a huge improvement🙏🏽. #BanFireworks 🚫
