RIP Poor Dona

This is our beautiful Dona who was rescued as a small pup off the streets of Kosovo. She spent her short life in an over crowded pension near Pristina. Not much of a life for a dog but a few weeks ago she came to the UK. I went over to pick her and Humphrey up with Meg Ardner who has helped so many of these pups. They were both so good on the journey back and we thought it was because they knew they were heading to a better life. Sadly for Dona, nothing could have been further from the truth. They were placed with another rescue that had fab facilities and both have found a home. Dona though was only in her home for two days before the new adopters took her out for a walk, something that you should not do with a nervous street dog for a week at least, did not put a double lead on her. She got spooked and got off her collar and was gone. I keep going over in my head that she spent the last few hours of her life terrified and running. She was killed by a train. Everyone involved in her rescue is devastated. I believe the rescue gave them the instructions and the new owners  ignored them and so got my lovely Dona killed. I am not sure that I will continue to bring dogs over bar the many I am already committed to in Greece, Thailand , Kosovo, China and Romania. For sure if I do I will only be homing the dogs myself. This scenario is happening again and again with people not listening, only today on my local common I got abuse for telling a recently adopted adopter of a dog that is nervous that has already been lost once when arrived in the UK that it should have a harness on as well as a collar. These people who always think they know better are getting these dogs killed and all our hard work being for nothing. R I P my lovely Dona, I failed you for sure and am so sorry, you deserved so much better than you got. RIP xxx

Raffles enjoyed her first ever beach walk today

Raffles enjoyed her first ever beach walk today with Dobbie (one of my Romanians) who is her favourite boyfriend. Lots of running playing water splashing. Wearing her and Dobbie on a waist belt works really well for security and safety. Sat in the sunshine and had some strokes and bonding time on the sand too.
