It is customary for us to have at least one adoption on Christmas Eve, and today was no exception. Today’s lucky dog was Powell, a Brittany spaniel who has just turned five years old. He arrived at the SPA a bit by accident at our usual first Sunday of the month open day, when volunteers Francine and employee Angelique went off on a “Pinder hunt”. Instead of returning with Pinder, they came back with this lad. He is very friendly and affectionate and it is surprising that no one came to collect him. But it has turned out well, as not only does he have a new home, but he is going to be living in Nice! What a lucky lad.
Thanks to everyone who came along to walk dogs today, despite the imminent festivities. The refgue was very busy with people delivering last minute gifts to dogs and cats or just coming to say hello.
For those of you who don’t know, tonight is a big night in France with the main family Christmas meal, just as tomorrow is a big day in the UK. So the blog will be a bit patchy, as Helene and I coordinate (or don’t) our free time and sober moments. A short one tonight and probably just some photos of happy dogs tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.
