Gem came to us at 3 months old from a rescue centre having been handed in as a male with her "brother" - who was actually her sister. Gem's name came from the fact that we thought she was a "little Gem" (and no not the variety of lettuce!) combined with a corruption of Jemima Puddle-Duck as we wanted something that linked in the Splash. Whilst responding to her name of Gem she also responds equally as well to nick name of Puddle (and she did plenty of these as a puppy) hence the buiness name Puddle Pet Care.

Gem over the last couple of years has had a number of health problems, including a fibrosarcoma which involved having the lower left side of her jaw removed - which she coped with remarkably and causes her no problems at all except that her tongue "lolls" out at times. 3 months later she had a mast cell tumour removed from her side and more recently has had her spleen removed and currently has unexplained blood in her urine - but through all of this she has been a real trouper and recovered well and quickly from all her problems - though she is a bit of a worry!

Gem is a lovely dog - if a little "vocal" at times - who really does like to live life to the full and lives on 2 speeds - full out or stop!
