TRUE STORIESSadly this is becoming typical of how dogs are ending their days  or just starting them.

WHERE THE DOGS COME FIRST

registered charity nbr...1119487

A PLEA TO BREEDERS , I KNOW THERE ARE GOOD GUYS OUT THERE AND RESPECT TO YOU, BUT THE BREED NEEDS MORE OF THEM.

PLEASE PLEASE HEALTH SCREEN YOUR DOGS BEFORE BREEDING WITH THEM . IF LITTLE FINS STOREY CAN CONVINCE JUST ONE MORE BREEDER TO HEALTH SCREEN THIER BREEDING STOCK THEN HIS YOUNG LIFE HAS MENT SOMETHING

Little FIN is doing fine he's not in any pain just a little discomfort from his leg , but we have medication that can control that ,I have took the decission we are going to give him the best posible life this young lad can have , I will not let him suffer and with the help of our vet Alan and his team of dedicated nurses especialy Auntie Julie he is enjoying his life just doing what pups do , ok he we have to watch he doesn't do to much , but he and spud are having a ball.

 To look at fin and see the way he acts you would think hes on top form , for me it hurts like hell , but for Fin life is just for living , and so it should be.

So it will be down to spud to teach this young lad a trick or two ,like digging holes in the garden , or lets nick dads socks or lets find some mischief we can get up to , Fin is just like any other pup and while this continues and while he is still enjoying life and we can spoil him with the odd treat or two life is what Fin can make it, YOU JUST GO FOR IT FIN

  FIN THE HANDSOME , HAPPY FIN THE BOYS , FIN AND SPUD

FIN HAS HAD A COUPLE OF BAD DAYS , HIS LEG HAS BECOME MORE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR HIM AND THE PIAN MEDICATION UPSETS HIS TUMMY . SO I HAVE CONSULTED WITH ALAN ,FINS VET. AND I HAVE MADE A BIG DECISION FOR FIN . ON FRIDAY [the 9th ] FIN IS GOING IN FOR AN OP ON HIS LEG ,THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS IF HIS HEART CAN TAKE THIS . I WAS FACED WITH THE DECISION OF EITHER SITTING ON THE VETS FLOOR AT SOME TIME IN NEAR FUTURE WITH FIN IN MY ARMS HAVING HIM PUT TO SLEEP WITH MY HEART BREAKING , OR TAKING A CHANCE ON GIVING HIM SOME SORT OF NORMALITY IN HIS LIFE AND A POSSIBLE FUTURE. [ WHO KNOWS FOR HOW LONG ,DOGS HAVE LIVED WITH A HEART CONDITION FOR YEARS , ] BUT FOR FIN THIS A CHANCE TO HAVE A PAIN FREE LIFE , WHEN LITTLE FIN CAME TO US I NEW WHAT I WAS TAKING ON AND THE HEART ACHE IT WOULD BRING .BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME ,ITS ALL ABOUT LITTLE FIN AND TRYING TO DO THE BEST FOR HIM . FOR NOW FIN IS HAVING A GREAT TIME AND WHEN HE HAS HIS PLAY TIME , HE AND SPUD ARE NEVERFAR APART AND ALLWAYS UP TO MISCHIEF

  WELL AFTER A WHAT SEEMED A VERY LONG DAY , FIN HAS COME THROUGH HIS OP AND IS HOME WITH US NOW . THANKS TO ALAN AND HIS TEAM OF DEDICATED STAFF FIN HAS MANAGED TO FIGHT ALL THE ODDS AND GET THROUGH THIS LATEST EPISODE IN HIS YOUNG LIFE . IT REALY SHOWS THE LUST FOR LIFE THIS YOUNG UN HAS . ALL THAT WE CAN DO NOW WHILE HE RECOVERS IS GIVE HIM LOTS OF TLC , AND HOPE THAT IN A WEEK OR TWO THIS YOUNG LAD CAN START LIVING THE LIFE HE SO DESERVES.

Well I must first say what a pleasure it is to have cassy fostered at our home ,she is a darling .

 We were contacted by a vet who had Cassy dumped on them , ok the previous owners have bred the guts out of this dog ,used her then when she got to old [ or what they think is to old ] they dumped her . I will update cassy's story .

Well poor old cassy , has a touch of athritis , so its just some Synoquin or simular for her and it seems to do the trick , but she dont let it bother her , shes quite happy to have a toddle about and as long as theres a nice commfy bed for her to lay on shes quite happy .
