shame that 400 pound doesnt excuse the heartache? id rather pay 400 pound to keep him! that way she hasnt lost or gained? x

Have to agree with you Shell - it's got b*ggar all to do with money, when you take on a helpless baby of any species and bring it on into a well adapted adult!!

Hope your friend has a good result with her!

Katy Im getting £400 which is half the price of the puppy and she has paid all the vets bills for his milk and vet treatment plus she is also paying for the food he has been on. At this moment in time it feels like blood money so people the next time I say Im handrearing a single baby remind me not to do it as it hurts so much when they leave

you wouldnt listen even if we told you not to woman............tis not in your nature to turn an animal in need away

You have done a wonderful job with this pup hun

Vets just phoned, Odi is as he was this morning, just pumping fluids into him and then they are going to try feeding in the morning to see if he will take anything.......the vet just said wait and see...........he still is fine in himself just decided he didnt want to eat.......

[feorag]

Still very odd then Penny??

Poor Odi, anorexia in cats is a symptom of an illness. Have they no idea what it could be?

Eileen I missed your other post. Well done on raising that much money that was excellent. I love it when people write out big cheques for the sanctuary as it really boosts the funds

No, the vet actually said, if he improves tommorrow you will never get a definitive answer re what was wrong.....as I say he is in fantastic health normally.......strong, glossy coat......vocal at 5 in the morning for his breakfast and overall very active....he even follows us to the meadow and chases after the ball with the dogs for gods sake!...he has no temp, no symptoms of pain or blockage in his stomach...he just isn't eating!.....

I have just phoned and spoken to the nurse and no change but then they havent tried him with any food...will just have to see what happens in the morning!
anyway...must go and get some food now I am home......tired and a little bit fed up.........I will hopefully be back with good news tomorrow.

Ive just had a phone call off Boris`s breeder she wants him back this week Im gutted. The new owners are coming over from Bristol to pick him up and Im bloody horrified The only good thing is that the decision has been taken out of my hands............................................. .....

Nooooo they can't take him on such a long car journey. It's too much. What about his limp? And he has a squirty bum hasn't he? Dammit woman, tell lies!!!!

Cannot you buy him instead? I'll donate £25 towards the cost.

Boris`s fate is now sealed. My friend has spoken to the breeder as she is someone she knows. She has explained about the bond between foster Mum and puppy and she has now agreed to my terms. I drop Boris at her house on Friday when his new mum arrives and I get to interrogate erm meet her.The new owner is really excited and has said she will send me updates on a regular basis. Boris will sleep with her in the bedroom overnight and go back to Bristol on Saturday morning. He will also stay on the same diet that he is on now and she will keep up with his worming program.

I must say I feel so much better about it all now but I will still miss this little fuzzy faced boy.

Earlier on he was missing for 5 minutes and my GSD kept running from the back of the dog yard to the kitchen then glancing back. I had a quick look round then went out the back and looked round the corner. There was Boris splashing in a huge puddle he was soaking but thoroughly enjoying himself
He has had a long sleep and woken up a monster he keeps swinging off the Cavalier`s tails and they arent best impressed
At present Steve is kissing and cuddling him and telling him how much he will be missed..............

Thanks for the offer Pam but if I said I was keeping him it would be no charge to me as hes basically my puppy, I just feel it isnt in his best interest to stay with me. In a home of his own he will get complete attention,training classes,plenty of walks and holidays too. These people are Vizsla fans and have had 2 previous ones that have died of old age and one of those was a rescue dog with problems
I have done what I set out to do which was save his life, give him the best start I could and put him on the road to a long and happy life with people that will love and care for him
