I know, right? He's a rufty-tufty big dog now. Well 'ard.
Mum's adopting a dog
She went yesterday to the Dog's Trust in Leeds and met some of the dogs they have there. Was a bit of a fraught time for her, because as soon as she went in she was overwhelmed by sadness and felt like she was gonna break down right there in front of everyone... but was trying not to show it. With the two girls enthusiastically dragging her round and awwwwing over this and that dog.
Anyways: just before they were going to leave, the guy there told them about three dogs who'd just come in. They weren't on the books yet, hadn't gone through the system. One in particular she was struck by, though she liked all of them and they went for a walk together in the fields surrounding the Trust.
The one she has chosen is (we think) a collie-samoyed cross bitch, probably about 3 years old. She's clearly been well cared for before becoming a stray but none of the numbers listed on her microchip work, and she's far away from her original home (Manchester).
Today, we all went over to the Trust so she could meet Carrot and we could see how they might get along.
They seemed very comfortable in each other's company
She has to stay there for the obligatory seven days, and she's also to be spayed and a couple of little things checked out by the vet. Looks like we'll be bringing her home on Friday or Saturday.
Her temporary name at the shelter is 'Snowball'...Mum's going to change that! I think at the moment it's a choice between Nelle and Mabel, leaning towards Nelle.
Here she is:
