Yesterday’s arrival, Circa, was reunited with her owner today. As soon as her pictures were posted on Facebook, the owner contacted us, saying he had been looking for his dog everywhere. And he arrived at the refuge in double quick time to collect his beloved dog.
When Circa was brought in (by the authorities of the village) we were told that she had been wandering for days.
Local elections are taking place in April and apparently the rounding up of stray dogs is seen as a vote winner. Thus proving that you don’t have to live in a dictatorship or in a city preparing for the Olympics to see examples of how dogs are used for political reasons. Okay, in Carcassonne it is not a question of massacring dogs, although for some SPAs that are overcrowded, it could certainly lead to the death of some animals.
But we are not hear to debate the rights and wrongs of local (or indeed national) politics, rather we are here to tell you the news:
Today saw the adoption of little Stefan. He leaves behind his sister, Elena, who is the last of the Vampire Diaries litter. I hope her chance comes soon; I hate seeing puppies alone in their cages. However now that she has had her second vaccination she can go and play with the other dogs!
There has been so much bad news recently that when Carole told me about a reservation made today, I actually cried. This is not at all my style, it is more a habit of Dominique’s, but I am feeling particularly sensitive at the moment, so I “did a Domi”. Do you want to know who the lucky dog is? I BET you do!
Tell you tomorrow!!!
