Hi everyone

I was last here back in January posting this thread

Just to let you all know that Billy didn't require amputation and has gone on to make a really good recovery. His leg is probably about 90% functional without further surgery, his fur has grown back on his skin grafts and he's pretty much back to normal (if he could ever be described as such!). Thank you again for all your support and advice at the time, it was really helpful :)

Anyway, the reason I'm back is we appear to have acquired our own little tripod!! We lost one of our dogs in March very suddenly to cancer and had no intention of getting another (we still had 5 remaining!). But her best friend missed her terribly. They would play all the time and none of the other dogs were interested in playing. Then we spotted Penny in a local rescue. She is a collie/terrier cross, found in Ireland with a snare on her leg. Worse still they leg was gangrenous and she was in labour! Following an emergency amputation she went on to raise her one surviving pup and, since he went to his new home recently, she is now free to start her new life. Penny is just our sort of girl and loves a bit of rough housing so today she has come to stay for a two week trial to see how she fits in with the gang. So far, so good :D

So I have a feeling I might be hanging around a bit, learning more about how we can help Penny adapt

Here's the all important pic

What a great choice – thanks for opening your home & hearts to Penny!

Best of luck with her!
