If you just gave the price of a bag of treats you would buy for your dog for our poor rescue pooches it would really help. Thank You (in advance.)
Next Stafford Walk Sunday 18th November
I did not find Paul O'Grady For The Love Of Dogs such enjoyable viewing tonight.
I was angry and I don't suppose I was alone!
Angry at the owners who mess up a dog then hand it in for re-homing!
Angry at the owners who hand in a fifteen year old dog with health problems because they have a baby
And angry that if a Stafford had been showing as much aggression as the little dog it would never get a second chance!
At least the outcome for all the dogs was good and the owners were shown so people could make up their own minds about them.
Interesting that the aggressive dog had to learn how to be a dog, which is similar to what is happening to little Jesse pup. Having missed out on time with his Mum and siblings he is now learning with Lara and Moose. He is getting better by the day and settled with Kate and Dan last night with no biting.
He will be coming back for a while as Moose is having an operation for ingrowing eyelids and being neutered (poor chap!)
Out of the many requests we have to home dogs, he stood out as his owner was genuine, having to leave Sparkle too long after a relationship breakup and being willing to hold onto him until a home came along and because Sparkle is a lovely boy. Val assessed him and she has fallen in love with him!
Apparently he looks like Lexus! Lets hope the similarity stops there!
We gave Chloe a quiet day today as the Promeris treatment can make them lethargic, also it rained for most of the day!
We have another foster home for Chloe and I have to confess I have been making the most of having her as she gives the best cuddles.
That is why I have been writing this so late after enjoying a cuddle with her downstairs first.
Television does not always put the whole story into their programs due to public opinion. The case of the aggressive Chihuahua is such a case. Battersea would have put him to sleep but they knew that due to his size there would be a public outcry. Battersea arranged for him to be taken in by a Chihuahua rescue. They returned him after 20days as they could not handle him or turn him around. The lady on the program is his new owner. She treated him as a dog and her dogs showed him how he should behave, as they say the rest is history! I remember at the time thinking how unfair it all seemed, had it been a Staffie it would have all been so different. The public perceive staffords to be aggressive and whilst there would have been an outcry it would have been far less.
ReplyDeleteAt least Battersea has shown that even small dogs bite and leave wounds!!!
