Well the Garden Show is over for another year. Weather was pretty good, sunny but not overly warm. Dont know what the numbers were like, thought it did not seem too busy this afternoon. I worked at the membership booth- a nice sit down job and got sent home early! Supervisor said not too busy and I was starting to look tired! So I collected my purchases and left and on the way home picked up a new foster dog.

This is Heather who is probably going to be renamed Sassy. She is 11 years old and most likely has cancer - a big tumor on her throat .This is rather new and not the reason for surrender and the owner after we got this information from the vet ( we organised and paid for the evalution) was just going to take her home and look after her until she died. We did not want her to go back to what we felt was a not so good physical situation and offered to take her anyway and I would foster her until she had to be put down and the owner agreed. I will get another vet visit and we will get x-rays or ultrasounds of the tumor and see what if anything is to be done. Surgery is probably not an option for a variety of reasons.

She seems a nice girl, friendly , my dogs so far OK with her. Mine apparently is her 3rd home so far as I can tell. Her coat has been clipped short so it looks a bit odd. She has a bit of a sway back although it might just be the way her coat has been clipped short so she looks like she has a large butt instead!
