What a wonderful day! The sun was shining, the volunteers were out in force, and so were the adopters! Three lucky dogs left us, and there were six (yes, SIX) reservations. Only one dog came in, and he is a puppy so small that he takes up no room at all (besides which he went straight home with one of our employees who is also a volunteer).
So the departures of the day:
Firstly there was Logan, whose departure I missed, which is a shame as I would have liked to have given him a farewell pat. He has gone to a lovely family with a young child and he will prove to be a fabulous pet, I am certain.
His kennel mate, Rocky, left too, also with a family. This was his second adoption, the first one having lasted less than two weeks and ending when the family remembered that they were moving house and couldn’t take a dog with them. This time is going to be a home for life, we hope!
Finally we said goodbye to Chunky. Or rather we didn’t, as we are destined to see more of him. He has gone to live with Dominique, one of our volunteers. It started off as a Godmother (sponsoring) arrangement, with Dominique taking a particular interest in Chunky and sharing his photo on Facebook. Then the questions started: “How is he with cats?” Then “Do you think he will get on with my two other dogs?” And a week later, Chunky left to live with his Godmummy!
So we have not seen the last of Chunky; in fact Dominique has already posted some video of his arrival at her house in Narbonne!
As for the reservations, you will have to be patient! But let’s just say that tonight I am a very happy bunny!
And au-revoir Chunky and Dominique!
