My Furry Friends!
Anyone who knows me knows I share my life with
my fostered-furry-friends. They are special needs, in that they require
that little bit more love and attention than most dogs might. Their
problems have sometimes sadly been caused by mistreatment,
sometimes by illness or disease. Because, for some strange reason, they
often manage to worm their way into my writing, as well as my heart, I
thought I’d share them with you.
Firstly, we have Snoops Aka Rambo. Snoops, a tiny Jack Russell, who stands
no taller than eleven inches from toe to sticky-up ears, was brought to
the rescue centre by the police. Someone had apparently decided to play
football with him, unfortunately using Snoops as the ball. Snoops is
vulnerable, feisty and now, sadly, mostly blind. He thinks I’m gorgeous. I
think I’m in love.
Since becoming part of the family, I’m pleased to say that Snoops has come
on in leaps and bounds.
When Sadie came to us, she had cancer. After her operation,
she led a fit and healthy life and eventually became a Pets As Therapy
(PAT) dog. A good-natured, content girl, Sadie is the three-legged star of
Somebody to Love.
Love them. We've just got (well a month on Tuesday) a labrador x - we aren't sure what the "x" bit is, but at the moment, he's trying his hardest to be crossed with a Great Dane and even the vet said he looks like he's got some Great Dane in him.
ReplyDeleteHaw, haw! I only just saw this, sorry! It looks like you have one 'big' playful pup, Tracy. I bet he'd just gorgeous! :) xx
