We live in Sudan and some friends took in some street dogs (strays) a while back when they were about to get shot by the police (who cull them here every few months). They went on holiday and came back to find female pregnant (oops - they had been told by vet that she was too young to get pregnant! - not very pleased with vet as you can imagine).
Female had 8 puppies. They are now 4 months old. All but 1 has found a new home (Wolfy) and he is due to be put to sleep tonight as these friends already have 4 dogs in total and can't keep any more.
I have a DH, 2 kids under 2 and a crazy Weimaraner. Loopy - she drives me mad - I often wish I didn't have a dog (although I do love her dearly, deep down). I really don't have the time for a 6th member of the family, and it's already going to cost us a fortune to ship Jackson, our dog, back to the UK via France in 18 months time. We can't really afford to do it again with Wolfy.
But poor Wolfy. How unlucky is he that all his 7 brothers and sisters found a home and he didn't? Can I let him be destroyed tonight? [remembers final scene from Marley and Me and weeps].
Or should I say sod it, what's one more, and take him in?
