Everybody knows that looking after a baby is very hard work.
And anybody that’s ever looked after a sick, naughty or young puppy will tell you that sometimes, it feels just as messy, difficult and tiring as raising a human.
Just ask Married At First Sight star Clare Verrall, who shared her unconventional ‘mum break’ for her fans on Instagram, highlighting the challenges of being a “Furbaby Mum”.
“Out for a drink because I need a two hour foster dog mumma break from cleaning up poop, urine & puke,” she wrote.
“Hodor has a cold meaning he keeps sneezing giant green boogas on me, Dutchy stole a huge chuck of roast pork fat last night & now has the runs, Lily our pound girl almost dislocated my arm on her second ever walk because evidently she is scared of strollers (dogs are weird) and my latest rescue Coco has a prolapsed rectum & poops accidental everywhere inside.”
After reading that dramatic doggy ordeal, we feel like WE need a glass of champagne too. But, it was back to business for Clare after her quick outing.
“When I get home it’s back to poop pick up, steam cleaning & mopping all through the day & at 3 hourly intervals through the night.”
Clare has made no secret of the fact that she is passionate about animal rescue, often taking in dogs in need of love and medical care to her own home.
Just days ago, Clare brought 10 month old French Bulldog Chanel into her home, reaching out to fans to raise money for life saving surgery.
“Chanel is in rescue simply because her owner bought a designer dog, and couldn’t afford the vet bills that come with the breed. If you can’t afford $5000 in random vet bills, don’t buy a bulldog people!!! Now it’s up to me to raise the money so this little bunny can be all fixed up, find a forever home & live a wonderful life,” she wrote.

And yet she's asking for people to donate money....
Looks like you couldn't afford it either but still got one... go figure
It's likely a dog like this would be euthanised by shelters because the cost of fixing the problem is so great. Clare's temporarily taken on this dog to save its life and rehome it, there are lots of people that would donate purely to see an otherwise healthy dog live instead of being euthanised.
