doglets

Today our humans did a 370 mile round trip to collect Kato. Kato has been tested with dogs, horses and boglin s. Our soppiest thanks to boglin for looking after us doglets while humans were away and supporting us through that difficult first hour when the new doglet is installed.

The sanctuary where Kato was living with her Mum is an incredible place. Met at the gate by several dogs of non-Crufts disposition. But so loved, so cared for, so free. Daniel, the rotty (with tail) has an expensive heart condition but is the soppiest lad ever. The blind old Dane gent who bumps into things but searches out humans for affection. The affectionate pug, discarded because she couldn't make money/pups anymore. The dog with a bit of leg missing just nosing your hand for a bit of fuss before jetting off to play with the others. Affectionate Summer, the slim cross breed whippety collie jack russelly girl who lies on the table and gazes into your eyes. Many, many others. On the one paw your faith in humankind is challenged, on the other paw, there are wonderful, selfless people like Fionna at the sanctuary, whose patient, endless, accepting kindness gives these dogs some hope and a comfy, free place to await their forever home.

And then we met peaceful, motherly Tia, Katos mum, found in a park in Ireland, alone, dumped and discarded to bring up her pups.

Kato was the last to be rehomed. (Tia is still waiting if anyone wants a beautifully tempered, loyal, calm German Shepherd)
