My Story:

I wasn't planning on having anymore dogs as its too heartbreaking when they pass away, but then I was told by a good friend of mine about a dog that seriously needed a home or she was gonna be destroyed, so I went to see her the next day cos something inside kept telling me to go. Well that was it she looked at me with her big brown sad eyes (at the time) and that was it she had my heart!
Now she is acting like an 18 month old dog should, we have taught her how to play ball, our kids play football with her, which she is very good at too. She now knows what dog food is and dog treats, I have taught her some naughty habbits like laying on sofa with me, allowing her to sit on back seat of car rather than the massive boot that we had kitted out just for her.
