Yet another waif & stray......

This is Caramel, a female ginger kitten who turned up this week at the Barnes-Short Animal Sanctuary. One of Ali's little admirers from school arrived on the doorstep with her, she was wet and terrified, apparently he'd found her stuck up a tree......after a bath and some food, she has made herself at home and now rules the roost, teh dog is scared to get too near her!

Ali's admirers call round every day to see her and carry her around and they've made her a little house in Ali's room. Sweet......

Admirer no. 2 is going to ask his dad if she (the cat, that is, not Ali) can go and live at his house so maybe I won't have to keep this one and spend loads of money on her. Yeah, right.

We've got a puppy......

...at least temporarily!!

Got a call from the Mairie next door (I am their unofficial interpreter) saying that someone English had found a puppy. Turns out it's a friend of mine, he heard the poor little thing crying at about 6am this morning, shortly after he'd noticed a van pulling up by his house then leaving straight away. So he took her in, then went up to the vet's this morning, but no microchip. The vet said she's only 2 months old and should still be with her mother. So the Maire has asked me to keep her for a week in case she's lost and the owners get in touch. Sounds to me like the van was there dumping her, but you never know...........My friend who found her is off to the UK for 3 weeks but says if noone's claimed her by the time they get back, then he'll keep her. So hopefully the girls won't get too attached.......although they don't live far away so Ali will still be able to go over and walk her.

How could anyone not want this?




She was terrified at first but has eaten a huge bowl of food and is curled up asleep by my feet.......
