We were asked to help pay for a dog to be pts as he is old and blind. I went to visit him and he is fab. He is oldish, about 10plus, and he does have the most minging teeth and he is almost completely blind and he does have itchy skin and is a bit smelly but he is still fab. I just loved him.
He joined us today and has been to the vets for a health check and his first vac. He is going to be snipped next week and have his teeth sorted. Pat (Jessiesmum) is fostering him and we will get some pictures sorted.
Sparky is a smallish, slightly overweight Jack Russell.

How wonderful to think that his life can be extended, as I have said isn't is terrible to think us as humans have such a choice over what happens to the future of such trusting inhabitants of this earth

Little Skippy is lovely I dont know I've got him, he breaks my heart all the problems he has, his teeth are awfull, & some are loose and broken, being blind, his breathing is awfull. I will put some more photos on tomorrow. He's been enjoying the sun today sitting on my lap.

I went to see Skippy yesterday and he is already looking a little more comfortable. He is such a sweet dog and is loving the attention and care he is getting from Pat.

Eileen thank you for saving Skippy, I know his life will improve joining FOA. We have Grandad Max here, he's had some regal halitosis!!, is so long sighted he can't see anything if its less than 8ft away, he's got stiff old bones and takes time to warm up in the morning. We know he is happy, he greets strangers, loves meeting little dogs, likes to sunbathe and puts on his 'Best Boy' look whenever he gets the slightest whiff of a treat!!
Yes he does go faster walking down hill than up, but with FOA's support he's fine and his quality of life is good.
It upsets me so much that dogs are so easily binned, I am so thankful that you and the FOA 'A Team' exist.
Maria n Gang xx

Poor little Skippy is not feeling well, he had the snip & 5 teeth out on Friday the vet said he allready had teeth missing, he is still very sore today, he is sleeping most of the day, & he cries if I'm not in the room even though he's blind he knows I'm not there. his breathing is not very good either. He is a darling just want to cuddle him all day.
