Jerry
Jerry has endured his post Liphook Hospital convalescence away from his mates with patience, but 6 weeks after his treatment it is sad to see that he is one of the 30% for whom the treatment and rest hasn't worked.
We have taken his shoes off and let him rejoin the others for further rest and recuperation.
As Jerry does not belong to us we have to let his owner decide his his future.
Meanwhile we have accepted an offer to have Fletcher on loan, William's companion with his previous owner who has some health issues that make it difficult for her to keep him in useful work. Weather permitting Fletcher will be making the journey up from Paignton in Devon to join us on Saturday 17th.
The weather is being particularly difficult for us so far this new year, but we are ever hopeful and we do manage to get Brydee and William out for short drives whenever we can.
