Lady in the Spotlight
Saturday, November 21, 2015
We want to put our smallest but oldest rascal, Lady, in the spotlight.
Yes, our dogs are everything to us. And we think that each one of them should take their turn in the spotlight. Our Lady is the third dog we have adopted from Shin. I still think it's a wonderful organization, which does everything to keep dogs and cats from killing stations.
We regularly look at the Shin website, but I'm also a little addicted to the Dutch blog, Wet Noses News. I find this really wonderful to see how satisfied people are with their new family member.
And then in May this year, we saw on the site this little Spaniel. She had a sad face and mournful eyes. As though she was asking 'What have I done to get so severe a punishment?"
We read her story and saw that for years she was a member of a family, and that suddenly she had to disappear, just like you'd throw away a pair of stockings with holes in. And then we also read that the owner had actually dumped her in the killing station. So there was our poor little rascal, waiting until it was her turn to leave this world.
Thank God for the people of Shin, who took her under their wing in the shelter. And thus saved her from death. My friend and I looked at each other, because in our hearts we were already lost. But we were not going to decide overnight. We had to discuss it, mainly because we do a lot of travelling with the mobile home. We needed to be sure there was enough space and capacity for three dogs with histories. We must be honest, we decided quickly because there is always room for one more.
We then contacted the responsibe person at Shin and discovered that Luna had already been reserved for the Netherlands and, to make matters worse we couldn't adopt her unless this adopter dropeed out. We found this so painful, on the one hand, but then we were obviously happy for her, that she had found her golden basket. If something changed, we would be informed. Quite obviously we couldn't count on this.
A few days later, we received an e-mail. If we were still interested in Luna, she would be reserved for us. Of course we were sure! We made all the arrangements and the next week about May 13, she came in Zaventem with a few other dogs and cats. And we were on time at the airport to pick up our girl.
She doesn't leave my side, she follows me everywhere. She'll suddenly appear behind me.
And when I think she's asleep, and I go to leave her little eyes open, to make me understand. Hey where are you going ???
Are they are pampered ????????
YES!
As you see, they are all so dear to us.
Love Meintje

Her name was Luna.
We read her story and saw that for years she was a member of a family, and that suddenly she had to disappear, just like you'd throw away a pair of stockings with holes in.

We made all the arrangements and the next week about May 13, she came in Zaventem with a few other dogs and cats. And we were on time at the airport to pick up our girl.
This was the first meeting with Luna, now Lady, as we already had a Luna. Our eyes met and I knew that it would be fine.
The introduction of our Tycha and our Luna took place on neutral ground and that went super well. Tycha accepted her right away and didn't seem surprised and Luna stood her ground. After a few days
she was completely potty trained and went outside along with the others.She doesn't leave my side, she follows me everywhere. She'll suddenly appear behind me.
And when I think she's asleep, and I go to leave her little eyes open, to make me understand. Hey where are you going ???
She is very curious
She absolutely loves to get her feet wet.
She really loves to roll about with her ball.
As for getting into mischief, she's first in line along with our Luna. Then we tuck the padding back in, sew it up and get back to our work!
If our girl is tired, she wants to be covered up, like Luna and Tycha.
Now there are three of them. All together. They are not angels, they are simply wonderful. We can't imaging life without them.
Are they are pampered ????????
YES!
As you see, they are all so dear to us.

Sita - born despite the odds
Sita - against all odds!
SITA ... she was born despite all their efforts. Her mom was used as a test object for sterilizations in a killing station and was adopted from there.
A Spanish family told us that the mom had been used for the killing station vets to practice on. After they had the dog for a while, they couldn't use her any more as they discovered she was pregnant. It turned out that she hadn't been sterilized properly!
When the vets were told, they said it did not matter because the dog was actually still sitting in a killing station. The vets were told several times but the answer was that it didn't matter because she would be euthanised anyway.
The result of the whole history was that SITA came into the world. Meanwhile, her mom was sterilized in a proper and responsible manner so our SITA became the last puppy she will give birth to. May we hope that she will have much luck from now on.
Nola at home with her namesake
Nola - one ear up, one ear down!

Nola (formerly Veerle) has been with us for three months now. And she felt at home from the first day.
She is super sweet to everyone, and if you get to know her you fall for her immediately.
She loves to play with her ball, or she lies sprawled asleep on the couch.
Greetings
Veerle
A lovely walk by the water.
And a ball on the beach. What a great life. So happy.
Nevyl is settling in well
Cuddles for a brave boy.
Just a hello from Nevyl. He flew into Eindhoven on 15th November and was welcomed by his Belgian foster family, who send greetings. They say he is improving by leaps and bounds. He really is a very brave boy and is sure to make someone very happy.
A soft rug and a happy dog.
A handsome boy who will make someone very happy.

Whatever happened to poor little Nene?
Nene - small and defenceless
He was spotted on the street, totally covered with dirt and in agony. A Spanish family finally managed to catch him, brought him to us.
For the first few days he cried and screamed, if you even just looked at him? What happened to him? Why is he like this? Who knows? Even when we walked by his cage, he cried out!
Now, after a few weeks with us, he has become a different dog. He has discovered and understood that we love him and want the best for him.
So small and already so severely abused! Why have a dog at all then? Just don't have a dog, leave them alone unless you are sincere and mean well and care for them.
They haven't asked to be with you! You choose them, and for a lifetime contract. When you take on a dog you are responsible for it for all of its life. This is a serious, important and life long commitment that you are enter into.
Once you come into their lives, they will never leave you. They offer you lifelong friendship and loyalty. Please do not embark on this journey if you are not sure. Because for them there is no way back. If you abandon them, it means suffering for them, misery and often death.
Please do not play with this. They are not toys.
Nene was lucky that she came to us. Dogs like Nene will never be able to tell you what they have suffered in their short life. But her next owner will be the winner.
Safe now! A lick of gratitude.
I wonder what's down there. I wonder who my new mum will be.
