How do you all do it?
The love these little ones get from the wonderful people who take them on knowing it is likely to end in tears.
I take my hat off to you all. You are amazing!
Just look at that face

Even if you get a puppy and he/she lives 20 years it will all end in tears one way or another, if you outlast your pup or they outlast you. It doesn't matter if the journey you share is one day or two decades, it's the love you share with your furry friend while you are together that counts. Sammy has the cutest face, and that last photo says, "My daddy was a mountain goat." ;D

I saw Sammy at the FOSS dog show and he was a total credit to Phyllis, didn't get a chance for a cuddle as was busy selling raffle tickets. Sammy is totally and utterly loved and spoilt by Phyllis and that is what fostering is all about, you just treat them like one of your own. Phyllis is also a crazy Cavie lady like me ;D

Sammy went for an eye check today. his tear production is good, but he needs to stay on the synthetic tears 4 times a day. I will take him back for a check-up in three months time.

Sammy is due for vaccination and yearly check up, also check up on his eyes. I have booked appointment for Monday 6th Jan. I can hardly believe he's been with me since early 2011. Its seems like just yesterday that he came to me looking so sad and not eating because of that growth in his throat. I remember feeding him shredded dog meat strand by strand. Sammy is so beautiful now his fur is such a lovely shade of red, and his eyes shine. I would love to put a photo on here but cant work out how to do it so I will take photos and put them on facebook

I wonder what made the difference Phyllis. I know the weather used to affect Florry, especially if the heating was on indoors as it made the air very dry. XX

Sammy is back from the vets. His teeth are all clean, no need for any to come out, I can start the steroids on Friday as soon as I have taken his for a check up. He's looking very sleepy, I have chicken and rice for his tea tonight. photos have been taken of the growth while under the anasetic, it about the size of a ten pence piece, which is smaller than it was the last time.

Steroids finished today. The growth has gone, let's hope it stays away this time.Sammy's ears are doing well now just one more week on ear med only, no more of that horrible cleaner, it makes his ears so yucky. James the vet trimmed Sammy's ears,almost of the too has been trimmed off, poor Sammy has short ears again!

Sammy has had a busy day today, first he went to the groomers for a wash and trim. he seemed to have an ear infection, so I had his ears cut very short. from past experience I know that ear meds make a terrible mess of ears ,so I thought I would get one step ahead. later this afternoon he went to the vets, he definitely has an ear infection. i have started the meds straight away.he looks lovely all clean and tidy, I will try to get a photo. while at the vets I got his eyes checked and also james checked for the growth in his throat. Eyes are good and no sign of growth
