Today was yet another depressing day at the SPA with two dogs arriving. One, Bruno, was adopted from us recently and his owners are coming to get him tomorrow, but the other is yet another abandoned dog.
Who remembers the “cocktail” litter, which included Mojito, Pina Colada etc? Well, one of this litter was homed before making it to the refuge. So “Cocktail” is not identified, nor has he had any vaccinations. Congratulations both to the supremely responsible breeder (what he did was illegal, also) and also to his owner who has now decided that he doesn’t want a puppy after all. Or rather he does not want a one year old dog who used to be a puppy. You make our lives so much easier, says she, not entirely sincerely.
Still, the sun shone and several volunteers were at the SPA to walk dogs. Ewok’s godmother came along with some gifts for him, and we received a delivery of plastic dog beds from Randy and friends. Apart from that there was nothing to report, so once again we have to cheer ourselves up with pictures of ex-SPA dogs getting ready for Santa.
I am hoping we have some adoptions soon. Abandoning dogs for the holiday season seems to be more the way things are going and we are getting very full. Again.
This Saturday there is our final pre-Christmas event; a collection of dog food and accessories at Maxi Zoo, Carcassonne. This shop is located at the Industrial area La Ferraudière, which is in the Salvaza area, so you can combine your visit with some Xmas shopping.
The SPA will be open, of course, only shutting on Christmas and New Year ’s Day, so it is not too late to come and buy a treat filled bauble for the dog or cat in your life. Or better still, come and adopt and put a smile not only on the face of a dog, but also on those of the volunteers and employees who are getting rather demoralised at the moment!
Patterson is waiting patiently
Flo’s eyes are as bright as the Xmas tree lights!
And don’t forget the collection of dog food this Saturday
