Sorry I have not updated for a while but it has been a very busy time. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a terrific 2009. I have to share the news about Hope. She has become a mum of two dear puppies, a boy and a girl, Faith and Courage and all are doing very well. At the time she came to the refuge we were unaware that she was pregnant. Hope has been living with Leisa, a volunteer, who has been fostering her until she had her pups. Leisa is now going to give her a permanent home as she just can't bear to part with her. Thanks so much Leisa. I would also like to thank all the kind and generous people who donated money to pay for Hope's vet bills for her consultation and operation. It has been fully covered now and we appreciate the help. Here are some of the photos of Hope after giving birth and some of the pups a couple of weeks later.
