Hello fluffies bear_original

I´m a bit on the busy side lately, and since I know, it won´t get better, I couldn´t wait to show you something.
No, I won´t start whining, that I have no time to do things I want, and no, the outlook on a few days in hospital won´t make me whine either.
Yes, I´m happilly looking forward to a wonderful spring.

Now, what I wanted to show you was the dog, who´s pix I had posted some time ago.
This poor creature came to the dog pound in Budapest, and then was freed from there, came into vet´s care and then to dog´s paradise on earth.
This very dog, Faye, has led me to a group of people from Germany and Hungary who- amongst other animal care groups- take good care of strays and mistreated dogs.
I even filled up my car with dogfood and drove to Budapest, to see for myself: WONDERFUL! All these poor dogs, who had next to nothing of a chance live together in packs of about 20. The lady who owns the place, Krisztina, is a wonderful and careing person, she has more than 100 dogs there, who all listen to her and do as she asks them to.
They are well fed, well socialised and love their life.
And I saw Faye in reality.
She had had her operation done and she had this funny plastic thing over her head, so she wont´bite herself, and she was beautiful!
She has nearly no fur at the moment, she was curious, but cautious and she has a very interesting look, sort of somebody very wise.
Now, this is Faye as nobody in the dog pound:

A lady from Germany took her, she moved in a week ago, and they are both so happy with each other:

( I asked permission of Faye´s new mom to post the pix)

Isn´t that a wonderful happy end of a story, that started off so sadly? bear_original

I wish all the poor dogs and animals in the world, that they get the same chance!

Hello Gaby,

Well, thank you so much for the update on lovely Faye - it brought a tear to my eye and I am so happy to see just how marvelous she is looking now compared to the initial photos we had of her. Just goes to show you should never give up on an animal.

You are such a wonderful person too Gaby, for taking your car to Budapest with tempting goodies for the dogs there. :hug: :hug: It's so heartwarming to hear of happy endings isn't it?

Big hugs

Marilyn
