Website Saves Life of Injured Stray Dog Facing Death!

Stress Levels Today: 5 Grey Hairs

This week has been a bit of a blur and emotionally draining. It has mostly relolved around a rather special stray rushed into the vets where I work by three dashing police men on Tuesday morning. She had been hit by a car and was in a critical condition. We supported her through the shock with some pretty fabulous nursing but 24 hours later she was stable but still not able to feel her frontlegs so things were looking bleak for her.

After 48 hours she was using one front leg and we had got her eating specially cooked mince and veg. Things started looking grim for her again she needed an operation to amputate her useless front leg. With no microchip and no owner coming forward it looked like she was going to be put to sleep after all as the Partners were not willing to fund the operation.

Then came Karl to the rescue offering to fund the surgery and save her life again! We are feeling a little bit fuzzy and warm inside at the moment and have just started a media campaign to get her a new home (or I will as soon as the news desks answer the phone at 9 o'clock).

If you want to keep track of her progress or read the story in full she is getting her own blog at www.poppyspages.blogspot.com.

All other news really pales into significance so I'll end here. Come back next week for more exciting Ardent Pets news
