... and breathe

Finally I've got a break to update you all on whats been happening. As you all know Terry got rehomed on Monday. The couple who I mentioned before came to visit him, and worrying that he would be yappy and snappy I was rather impressed when they sat in the garden and he just walked around, eventually deciding to approach. He seemed to do well with the couples 3 dogs, 2 staffie crosses and a yorkshire terrier and although a little wary and scared of the 2 bigger ones, he did not snap at them and just shyed away if they got too close. He did however decide to try play with the yorkshire terrier, not properly but both had a little wag of the tail, as if to say they will be friends. It didn't take too long for the couple decide that they would rehome it and took him home the very same day. Apparently he is settling well, has only given warning bites when he has been scared and is taking to the ladies carers. I am so impressed with him, considering I saved him from the pound just hours before he was going to be put to sleep for being 'agressive'. In my opinion there is a big difference between an agressive dog and a frightened dog. 

Anyway the rehoming of Terry could only mean one thing, that today after college I was off to the pound to pick up the next one. Now is for a little poodle cross (?) named Primrose. She has such a rotting mouth that it is actually sickening, the smell and the pus coming from it is horrendous. Poor little girl can not be comfy so she will be off to the vets on Friday to get all her teeth sorted and will probably end up with a lot out. Until we have had the teeth removed it is so difficult to tell her age. Her general health seems to be quite good and she seems to be in good condition other than the teeth. She is so tiny though, Tinks is at least twice as big as her. She's just like a little puppy... bless her. She is safe now though, and has being showered to wash away the pound memories and fed some wet food. She will feel so much better once her teeth are sorted, I am sure.

Oh and before I go I must give a big thank you to Terrys new owners who have donated a heaped pile of toys and other goodies for the dogs... donations are always appreciated for the rescue.
