THIS IS CELT AND SAXONS STORY ALL IN THE PAST TENSE COS THEY WILL BE 5 YEARS OLD NOW IN DECEMBER !!!
ONE THURSDAY SOMETIME BETWEEN 9.30AM AND NOON SOME SCUM OF A PERSON DUMPED TWO LITTLE PUPPIES IN OUR DRAINAGE DITCH.(WE LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND OUR ROAD IS A TRACK) FIRST I KNEW OF IT WAS WHEN I WENT UP TO CHECK FOR THE MAIL AND A LITTLE HEAD POPPED OUT OF THE METAL LARGE BORE PIPE UNDER OUR DRIVEWAY . THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY MUCH MORE YAPPING AND A SECOND PUP APPEARING.

I HAD NERYS WITH ME SO I HAD TO HAVE HER STAY INSIDE THE GATES AND GO AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.

NEEDLESS TO SAY BOTH PUPS DISAPPEARED BACK UP THE PIPE !

IT TOOK MUCH TEMPTING OVER 36 HOURS TO GET THEM OUT. WE MANAGED TO GET THEM SAFE AND CARRY THEM DOWN TO OUR GARAGE AND CHECK THEM OVER. THEY WERE STARVING BUT FINE . WE COULD NOT TAKE THEM INSIDE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE TOTALLY WRONG TO EXPOSE A NEW NERYS TO ANY POSSIBLE HARMFUL BUGS .

HOWEVER.. I SET UP THE VERY BIG DOG CRATE IN THE GARAGE AND I HAVE MADE A SNUG WARM DEN AND FOOD AND WATER AND THEY ARE CHECKED MANY TIMES.

YOU CAN GUESS ... NO SHELTER WANTS TO HELP AT ALL.. IN FACT NO-ONE DOES.

SO ...

IT SEEMS THAT HAVING JUST GOT NERYS WE HAVE TWO NEW ADOPTED BOYS ...CELT AND SAXON !

THEY LOOK TOTALLY DIFFERENT.. BUT ITS PROBABLE THEY ARE STILL FROM THE SAME LITTER. MY GUESS IS THEY ARE 8-10 WEEKS OLD AND SO FRIENDLY AND WANTING TO BE LOVED. THEY HAVE TO BE HOUNDS. SAXON IS THE BIGGER PALE CHUNKY ONE AND CELT IS THE SMALLER.

WE TAKE NERYS TO TO VET ON THURSDAY FOR HER FIRST CHECK OVER AND THE PUPPIES GO ON FRIDAY FOR THEIR CHECK OVER AND FIRST ROUND OF INJECTIONS.

THEY WILL THEN BE COMING INTO THE HOUSE AND HAVE THE CRATE DEN SET UP FOR THEM AND THE FUN BEGINS

ITS A REALLY BIG THING TO TAKE ON WITH JUST HAVING GOT NERYS.. AND SHE NEEDS ATTENTION.. BUT WE WILL MANAGE AND ALL WILL BE LOVED ALWAYS.

I AM A LITTLE OVERWHELMED BUT IT WILL ALL WORK OUT I AM SURE.

I MAY NOT BE AS PROMPT ANSWERING AND COMMENTING FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THIS WILL BE A JUGGLING ACT... BUT ALL WILL BE WELL !

NERYS ON HER 9TH BIRTHDAY WITH HER CARD HER BIRTHDAY REALLY IS THE SAME DAY AS MINe BUT 60 YEARS BETWEEN US!!
