Well, today was a good day for three of our puppies. Three of the “Cocktail Litter”, two males, Cuba Libra and Punch, and one little girl, Margarita, left after the minimum possible time at the refuge of ten days.
You may remember that these are five of the eight puppies who were the result of an unwanted litter. A woman in a nearby village refused to sterilise her dog, but thought it was fine to let her wander around during the day. She then threw out the pups when they were 10 weeks old. Naturally the SPA is just expected to cope with the consequences. How many times do I have to say that we are not a dustbin for everyone’s idiocy!
Several of their brothers and sisters are reserved, so it looks like things are not going to turn out too badly for these lovely collie crosses. However I cannot help but think of the adult dogs who are left at the refuge while all the cute babies leave.
And of course this is not the only litter we have at the SPA. Moira mentioned on Saturday that eight more pups had arrived, so I now present to you the Egyptian Deities. Thanks to Carole for the wonderful montage. We have no idea of their history, but they are probably some type of shepherd cross. Bigger than the Cocktail pups, but probably calmer in the long term! In time I will also present to you the Magic Roundabout Litter, who were dumped at the age of 5 weeks, so are not adoptable at the moment; we have Lisa working her Magic on them as we speak!
So goodbye to some Cocktails and greeting to the Deities and once again a plea to sterilise your dogs!
And here are the Egyptian Deities. (click on the photo to increase the size)
