How lucky am I to receive this most wonderful gift, an amazing painting of my Podge!
I can't believe just how well Daryl has captured her look, not an easy task as Podge is so very expressionate, especially with her eyes! I am beyond speechless!

While we have a few days at home we are making new dog beds for our ‘pack' and it seems that our ‘product testers’ are very happy with the progress so far!
Just wish they would wait until they were actual beds!! 🙈🙈🤣🤣

Sorry for not updating sooner but the past few days have been a bit of a rollercoaster ride! As I am sure you can imagine.

As I have said before, Podge has elbow dysplasia, which many different conditions come under, she also has arthritis, in both elbows, although her right was worse than her left.
Podge was taken into surgery on the day of her specialist consultation, the 28th November, the plan was to start on the right elbow and if all went well, they would also do the left elbow at the same time, happy to say that all went well, both elbows operated on. The vet was very pleased with how the surgery went.
We collected her lunch time the day after, with a very new and very different hair do!

She now has to REST completely for 6 weeks! No jumping, walking, I was told NO stairs at all, this was when it hit me that I would be unable to take care of my dog for the next 6 weeks, I have too many stairs and so would be unable to get her out for toilet breaks etc.
As much as it breaks my heart that I can’t be with her, I am very happy that Podge is now staying and being cared for by her ‘other’ Mummy Dee and her Daddy Andrew (the lovely, wonderful people I adopted Podge from) around an hour and a half to 2hrs from where I live. As heart-breaking this is for me, we all believe that it IS the best thing for her.

I am very lucky to be getting very regular updates, with Photos of how she is, what she is up to and how the other doggies are helping take care of her.
I have added some photos and also copies of vets bills so far, there is one I can’t find for 40/50€ and am in process of trying to get a copy from vets.

As you can see, it is mounting up and yet again I am asking on the kindness of family, friends and strangers – EVERYTHING HELPS! A share, that leads to another share or if you can spare a 1€ or even 10c, everything helps, it really does!

Maybe you aren’t comfortable donating, that’s understandable, but, maybe you have some work I could do for you? I am mainly a pet/house sitter here is France, but I am also trained in EFR (first aid courses) about to get my scuba diving instructors back, I am about to finish an animal reiki course, I can even garden, paint and decorate etc!

Thank you SO much to ALL my donators so far, we are so very grateful, thank you to everyone that shares and everyone who has asked how Podge is doing – We have been overwhelmed by you all!

Finally - The latest Podge update!!
After a very stressful, very emotional and BIG decision making day, I have hopefully made the best decision for Podge (wel
l, the first step anyway!)
We went to see the specialist today, a wonderful man, that filled me with confidence, just with his knowledge, ease and, well, Podge's interaction with him!
He made me think of Noel Fitzpatrick in SO many ways!
I have just put my dogs life in his hands and that isn't something I take lightly!
The consultation lasted about an hour and we talked a lot, he even let me record it so I could go over it again later! (but then I should hope so, for 120€ - But seriously, he was well worth it!!!)
Turns out that Podge does have elbow dysplasia which is created by/from osteoarthritis, she also has arthritis in BOTH of her elbows :-(
She could very well be in surgery right now, as she was left with the surgeon this morning, something that was very hard for me to do, as I lost my Faith, my cat of almost 14yrs, in April this year due to after-surgery compilations and that was just for a few teeth to be removed, so this is hard, even with the age difference. My Podge came to me, just before I lost Faith, both were an angel to me, so I have to hold onto the hope that, nothing could be that cruel that I could also lose my Podge?!
So, basically, (sorry, gotta get back to fact, as getting emotional, sorry) but, Podge is having surgery on BOTH elbows today (IF all goes well with the worse elbow being done first), unfortunately, until he opens her up (so to speak) he won't know the full story, but, the plan is too remove all excess cartilage, bone and any 'other' crap that has formed, fluid, crystals etc etc, and to also 'tidy' up the rough bone caused by the arthritis :-(
I have been in deep thought, even before today, (with all the what-ifs etc etc) But we have all decided that for Podge's BEST interests & 'rehab' she will be away from me after Friday, for around 2/3 weeks as I do not have the best rehab situation, too many stairs, as I live in a sous-sol, I have work coming up where I can't take her with me.
It will probably be harder for me then her, BUT, I take GREAT comfort knowing that she will be back with her fantastic foster mummy, Dee Glenham, who I am 100% sure will be extremely strict & loveable with Podge's aftercare (while, also, hating her coz I'm not able to do that for 'our' Podge :-( )
And while I also HATE having to ask this of people yet again, you have no idea, and while I thank ALL of those that have helped us so far, you have no idea what it has meant to us, but, once can anyone, everyone, please SHARE, SHARE, SHARE?!
Even if you can only spare 1€ or even 10c it ALL adds up - you can even stay anonymous!
Maybe you aren't happy 'donating' and thats ok, but, how about, maybe, you have some work that I could do for you?! EVERYTHING helps!

Who I come home too, I'm not complaining, I mean, look at that face?! Who would?! Lol
I love this gal more then life, so whatever is coming, my darling Podge, We will beat it!!! You are my world!
