Well yet another day with good news!
A few weeks ago Moira blogged about how Khensit, the last of the Egyptian Deities litter went on her first ever walk. Well, today she left the refuge for the final time. She didn’t actually leave on her own two feet; she had just been sterilised and was still a bit dozy, so she left in the arms of her new owner. Khensit had arrived as a tiny puppy of two months and now she is six months old, however thanks to the volunteers and employees, she is happy and well socialised.
Interestingly enough, her adopters had been to the puppy sale which took place this weekend (deliberately to coincide with the SPA open weekend, without doubt) and had found the experience really upsetting, with lorries full of screaming puppies parked up and tiny dogs stuffed into cages. So they came to the SPA and got a fabulous young dog for a fraction of the price knowing the adoption of whom was not going to the pocket of an unscrupulous breeder.
And we had another adoption today, that of Bones, our young Beacueron, who much to everyone’s surprise has spent about 10 weeks at the refuge. I thought he would have been snapped up. However today was his turn; a lady who had visited us on Sunday without her dog returned today to make sure they were compatible (which we recommend whenever possible). The two dogs got on like a house on fire, so it was time to say goodbye to Bones. I am not sure how effective he will be as a guard dog, but he could do an impression of a fierce beast if you asked nicely, I expect!
So another good day. Let’s hope it continues like this!
Bye-Bye Bones
