/ Dog World article 8 October 2009It kept changing all over the weekend, in the running were Buster, Nelly, Dutchess, Floydd and Sampson - Buster did move but came back because (get this) he had a tail!!!! but that's another story for another time as several hundred miles later, a sleepless night and me controlling my temper (almost) his new family decided that they couldn't love him based on what he looks like.
Nelly and Dutchess both moved, Sampson was due to move and Floydd was on his way to Brighton. Any of these dogs were worthy of the prize but Floydd did it and his new daddies have a certificate to prove it LOL. The local paper want to run a story on it which will be good publicity for the rescue and dear old Floydd who was hours from being put to sleep when we found him notched up another day in Bulldog Rescue's history.
You can read Floydds Story hereOver the past 1000 bulldogs, there's been many highs and many lows, people always ask me how I can part with them, but it's a very mixed emotion - you're glad for the dog who's got a new family to love him, but there is always a part of you that will miss them. Keep everything crossed for Floydd, it would appear he's been moved about an awful lot over the years, let this be his last move! Thanks to Syd and Kev for giving him that chance
"congratulations Floyd..your a humble star" Well done Tania. Syd an Kev,hope you have lots of fun with the ole fella x
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear about Floydd, but what's this about Buster having a tail? What a ridiculous reason for sending the dog back into rescue. I don't know how you do it, Tania, I really don't.
ReplyDeleteIf the breed standard changes Elizabeth, there'll be plenty more Buster's coming back
ReplyDeleteah massive congratulations to kev and syd and to tania and dizzy... but most of all to floydd.. we knew you had a special twinkle in you eye and if you can just keep those horrific bottom burps to a minimum all will be well( nobody's perfect eh lol) xx
