On Friday, We visited a town near Sharpness and met Billy - a Greyhound / Summat cross - who's had a hard life already in his first two years.

On Saturday, Lisa from the Bristol Dog Action Welfare Group visited us to have a look at our place (and us) to check that we were suitable foster parents.

And on Sunday, Ali and Craig visited and dropped Billy off.

So now we are five - Charlie, Gypsy, Billy, Lisa and Graham. I rather suspect that fostering will turn into adoption.


You can find other pictures ... [here], [here], and [here] (I won't overrun the blog with pet pictures).
