What a horrid day it has been weather wise. I can’t help but think of how miserable the dogs must be on days like this, huddling together trying to keep warm. I look at my four all asleep by the fire, and it makes me so sorry for all the dogs who at the SPA.
However many more are not lucky enough to even be at the SPA and have to cope on their own. So when we welcomed two new dogs today, after my initial frustration at their arrival, I realised that at least these two small young dogs are going to be well looked after now that they are with us. And please don’t criticise me for not paying the same attention to the cats; although they would like (and deserve) homes too, they are indoors in a heated house, with free access to the outside. The dogs are in unheated concrete kennels.
Our two new arrivals are called Rocco and Clara; Both are small and are wire haired and are young. Unwanted puppies, perhaps? In any case they were found at the gate this morning. Presumaby abandoned. Very cute and on their way to a better life before too long, we hope!
Not the best start to the week; let’s hope things improve during the week, starting with the weather, please!
So to cheer us all up, here is a picture of lovely Kobe (ex Cacao). He is four months old today and weighs in at am impressive 10kg. What a change from the tiny scrap of a pup who was found in the rubbish tip and whose two siblings (of three) were so weak that they died even after reaching the safety of the SPA. Go Kobe!
And his sister, Clara
But to cheer us up, here is Kobe! Safe and warm and LOVED
