5th November Day 3:

I hope your dogs are ok with the fireworks, it is quite bad here tonight but none of the dogs seem bothered, I have spoken to some people whose dogs hate it and they have sensibly made a den.Thankfully we have no-one in kennels. I have spoken with Tara the dog warden and the people who offered us a foster home and between us we have decided to postpone taking Sandy for another week at least. Tara feels that things have gone on so long for her that a bit longer won't make much difference.

The foster home is a long way away and they have one of our dogs who had lots of issues, they have done a brilliant job with her but we do not want her upset. We have decided this would not be right for Riley but could be right for Bullseye, however Bullseye still needs to recover from his op and is not due his second vaccination until 16th November therefore we have decided to postpone things for a while. If nothing else comes up Bullseye will go to the foster home after 16th November. It would not be responsible to let Bullseye go out until he is in better condition. I hope you are not too disappointed, we WILL get Sandy out so she can enjoy Autumn walks and find a new loving home but it is going to take a little longer unless we can find homes for some of our dogs, which is where you can help, tell your friends get the word out there.

Bullseye seemed well in himself today but I thought his wound may have become infected, he had his follow up appointment at the vets this afternoon. Jane said his wound was not infected as such but that he had had a reaction and she gave him some antibiotics to cover him anyway. Apparently it is a "pig of an operation".
