I posted under my old name about 2 years ago about my mother. She’d been rescuing hopeless case dogs since we were kids, successfully. Her last dog, a springer spaniel dumped on her doorstep in a horrible state ( traumatised and snappy ) had been with her 12 years and became a fab pet, had died from cancer and she was heartbroken and said she was too old ( 61 ) to take on anymore young dogs with issues. She’s announced she has a new plan....adopting elderly dogs who are as tired as her and giving them a nice home to end their years in ☺️. She cares for my dad who is now very disabled, but feels she is able to cope with a senior who needs short walks, hugs and snacks! Pointless thread, but wee good deeds can lift you up. Very proud of her.
