Here's our clan, everyone a rescue. I perform home checks for Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli to make sure the homes and people are suitable for adoption. The best breed is always adopted so all I can say is....adopt, don't shop! If you are looking for a new 'best friend' then please ignore the breeders who are making this problem of dog overcrowding much worse all in the pursuit of money and please, I beg you, visit your local independent shelter!

This is Moscow who is almost 18 years old who I stole from a police station cage 17 1/2 years ago. He's a cross something, of what we have no idea.

This is Bedo, my best little buddy who is a Terrier of some kind. He's two next month and I can't begin to describe how special he is to me.

All have heart breaking stories of wretched previous Parents ( I won't call them owners because none of us 'own' them) but now they are settling in to a good life with a loving family that always put them first. I did write up a whole story on their backgrounds etc but it was too long and most just skip the stories and look at the pictures anyway.

Got the one on the left from a shelter. Was in a horrible state when I got her, but I needed just two weeks to make it a very good listening dog! The one on the right, if bought as a working dog... ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY! Mr. Green
Almost 4 years of training and she's still acting like a clown. I officially gave up recently. Love her anyway.

^^Absolutely Thumbs Up ^^ There was something on the radio the other day concerning the historic connection between man and dog and how it is now thought by some experts to go back much further than has been generally accepted.

I nearly lost my young Lab bitch Juno to pyometra a couple of weeks back but after recognising the symptoms and getting her to our excellent vet PDQ she is now well on the road to recovery. Shame as I was hoping to breed from her. My daughter took this about 30 mind ago, Juno on the left.

Lost my yellow Lab to age last year, thinking it's about time to look for another ...or maybe an ESS Thumbs Up Steve.

the historic connection between man and dog and how it is now thought by some experts to go back much further than has been generally accepted.


Dogs' special relationship to humans may go back 27,000 to 40,000 years, according to genomic analysis of an ancient Taimyr wolf bone reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on May 21. Earlier genome-based estimates have suggested that the ancestors of modern-day dogs diverged from wolves no more than 16,000 years ago, after the last Ice Age

The genome from this ancient specimen, which has been radiocarbon dated to 35,000 years ago, reveals that the Taimyr wolf represents the most recent common ancestor of modern wolves and dogs.

"Dogs may have been domesticated much earlier than is generally believed," says Love Dalén of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
The study is showing that the deep, deep connection has existed between man and wolves - now our dogs - for many tens of thousands of years and that is why we love dogs so much. They are part of our own evolution into a modern society," For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Hello Chrispy,

Mrs Lorryman here Smile We are supporters of MT's having been fortunate enough to adopt an ex breeder a few years ago. Sadly we lost Lara after around 3 years of love and cuddles. We were left with no dogs as we soon lost our old boy just after. Having decided we were not having dogs again, we were approached by Springer Rescue for Scotland regarding a golden cocker who needed a quiet home, suffice to say she is now ours. We both volunteer for SRS and help with MT's where possible. Lovely to see your update, and I will probably bump into you on the Friends forum. Elaine P.

Most definitely Mrs Lorryman, I look forward to it. You'll notice my thread in the general section having just started the home checks. MT are a great bunch, we had our little girl Rocket from them on Boxing Day just gone and since then have started fund raising in my wifes shop and raising awareness about them everywhere possible. God bless you for continuing to rescue, without people like us there to give these dogs a second chance at a good loving home they haven't a hope in hell.

To everyone on here who has rescued an animal from a rescue centre I thank you from the bottom of my heart. For every animal rescued two are saved, the one being rehomed and the one who can come in to take it's place. God bless you again x

I'm really glad for you that Juno recovered, go for the Springer you'll not regret it I'm sure. Chalk and cheese with a Lab but equally as much fun Thumbs Up I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
