Today we aquired yet another lurcher girl! She was collected today by Anna after her owners decided they didnt want her anymore because she needed are you ready for this.... excercise.
They have had her for 18mnths and she is around 7 years of age, beautiful red fawn saluki x greyhound girl with a grey face. She is now safely in foster care in Spalding in Lincolnshire and will add photos as soon as I receive them. Apprently she is a very kind and gentle girl and has the sweetest nature you could imagine. Fabulous with kids and other dogs just not the usual cats bless her. She has been an only dog so will make a wonderful first companion hound for someone as she has been use to being left when her owners werent around. Her name is Cassie and more updates will follow in the days to come.
Elsewhere..... update on Ice.
Poor Ice went into the vets yesterday morning and has been kept in overnight returning to the holding kennels this evening late on. As I posted yesterday he had a very bad leg and was holding it up on arrival and was very precious about it and wouldnt let us near. Same at the kennels so was booked in at earliest clear oppurtunity for the vets to knock him out and have a good look easiest way as he wouldnt let us near it.
Expecting the usual cracked wrist type injury how suprised and horrified were we to find that actually he had his nails grown right the way round and back actually inside his pad. In the time this has been going on it must have given more pain to be honest than an actual cracked wrist. How can any trainer ignore this fact they must have known it was going on. My heart nearly broke in two for the poor lad, something so basic left to cause him to suffer for who knows how long. He has had the pads opened the nails dug out packed with antibiotics and stitched up. He also needed a dental and has been castrated.
Spoke to Simon at the kennels to see how he was and his words were " he is fine a little p****** off at having to wear a buster collar but other than that fine!" *giggle* poor lad. At least now he can concentrate on learning what a loving brighter future is. Onwards and upwards from here Ice Ice Baby.
