Sunshine was good enough to put this photo into my tags so that I could write and tell you about this little dog of our's called "Gemma"....I was really ill and in hospital some three and a half years or so ago with my bronical asthma ... our old dog had gone to the happy hunting ground a year before and oh how I missed him. Once home... I was sitting resting..when I had the notion to phone up the local dog pound....as I felt 'it' was calling me. Peter was mowing grass but when he came in I asked him to take me to the pound because I was sure God had something there for me...Peter was against having another dog but said he would take me but not to expect to come home with one !!! So we went....I hardly had the strength to stand yet along walk...but once there God enabled me to go from top to bottom of one set of cages..then from the top ...right down to the last cage which held two....no three dogs...I could just see 'Gemma' hiding at the back. " There it is Peter " That's the one" Well it was the most forlorn starving dog...I'd ever seen...it's backbone was like one of those prehistoric dinosaurs and finger's touched between it's little leg's. We filled in the papers and two weeks later she was our's...after the shelter had wormed her...given her pava and other injections plus a hysterectomy...this small scrap of life come home with us. For three days she just laid in her new bed and I had to feed her baby food and water from a sthingy...Peter walked around muttering we had done our dough !But the wonder was she pulled through and she is now going on for six...we have had her four and a half year's now and wouldn't be without her...she was God's gift to me !!
