I just knew this would happen!!! as Lorni had been looking at rescue dogs for some time then I found a piccie on Facebook and showed Lorni...well that was it she was on the phone immediately to the people at RGSA, Galgo rescue.
Poor Willow had been found as a stray on the streets of Alicante but she wasn't always a stray she belonged to a Gypsy who was going to use her as a puppy making machine but she had escaped, Galgo's are only used for one season then either abandoned or sent to killing station, so Willow was lucky and was rescued she is probably around 12 months old, very thing, Galgo's are thin by nature but Willow is very thin. Lorni filled in the adoption papers we then had to wait for a home visit and to go and see if Willow and Harry would get on. The people at RGSA got n touch with our previous rescue centres and suddenly we didn't need a home check. We arranged to meet Willow in Alicante,The meeting went well then we found out that we could take Willow home with us that day after a quick visit tot he vets.
We bought her home with us which i have to admit I didn't expect, harry got a little possessive of his things and were he sleeps etc which was what we expected to start with, but by the second day he allowed her to sleep on the same sofa as him.
I walked them together and to be honest they weren't bad once we were out of the house, Willow was is still finding everything exciting and new and harry is keeping her on the straight and narrow for the most part, Yesterday I had a trip to the dentist to get the first of two teeth out it was a bit of an ordeal as the tooth broke an the had to dig the rest of it out, I got home and was feeling a bit ...drained so I had a lay down on the sofa and woke up to this....
Both of them looking after me, Willow is a very loving cuddle monster who just loves Human company and other dogs, Harry is slowly getting used to the idea that Willow is here to stay and I hope keep him company. This morning we had our first real break through when we found the two of them doing this...
Looks like they will get on after all. now all we have to do is sort out Willows house training as she hasn't lived indoors yet, gives us something to do I suppose.
