Edna our new foster!

25 May 2011

We began fostering for Many Tears (check them out asap!!) last year in May. Our first foster was Pollie, a 3 year old ex breeding bitch. After Pollie we had lots of puppies. It was great! So lovely to see these gorgeous little babies go off to lead their new lives at members of great families! It's such a rewarding job to do, many of the puppies/dogs haven't had the best start in life but they leave us happy and loving life. We have been really lucky and have had great adoptive families, everyone keeps in touch and sends photos and updates of the dogs which is fantastic!
After we got Pneuma last year we gave up on fostering for a while, Pneuma's skin condition took alot of looking after and we wanted to make sure she was 100% well before we introduced another dog into the home, that and the fact that Pneuma can be a bit iffy with new dogs in the home.
Mum had been on the Many Tears website and had seen Edna (Emma T on the website). Her and her English Setter friend had both been thrown from a car into a bog. Both dogs were struggling to get out. Luckily someone saw them and they were taken to a local pound. Many Tears got them a few days later. Mum applied for them straight away, Felicity the English Setter couldn't be fostered at this moment in time as she was showing signs of dog aggression but they put our names down for Edna.
We picked her up last Sunday. She is about 9 years old and has very large hernias on her stomach. Initially it was thought she couldn't be operated on because she has a heart murmer but we are looking into this more. She has been suffering with a bad cough for the last week and has also been very snotty. It's such a shame because I really think she would be really lively it she was well. She is on medication and we are seeing how she goes, once the cough has gone it'll be good to see her personality come through!
