Let me know if you don't have any success (but I'm sure you will). It would just be nice for you to know where Henry is going

The assessment at the Dogs Trust went very badly. He was so nervous and afraid then the environment was very distracting. I was asked to leave the room so the assessor could work with Henry on his own. I think she only took his lead off him then tried to get it back on him but he kept running away from her. They felt that he just wouldn't cope well in kennels with different people coming in and out to him each day. It is probably a fair assessment as he he needs time to bond with people

Leah, the grand old lady of the Woof, bark and whine thread, was put down this afternoon. No single reason - just the accumulation of many factors due to her age and allergies. The time was right though; the vet gave her a sedative and she slid down on to the floor next to me and lay there for the next set of injections and slipped away quietly.

Oh Cyclops It is heart-breaking but undoubtedly you have made the kindest decision at the right time. There will be a Leah-shaped hole in your life now, won't there? Very big hugs xx

Goodbye to the thread's Grande Dame, then.
You knew the time was right but oh how you will all miss her.
