Vote for Oldies Club dog rescue to win up to £5,000!

I am, as some of you are already aware, involved with a wonderful dog rescue charity here in the UK, called Oldies Club, which rescues and rehomes dogs aged 7+ (though the average age is probably nearer 12, these days).

Oldies Club is delighted to have been selected as one of four registered charities in a May facebook competition run by Animal Friends each month. The charity with the most votes at the end of May will win £5,000, which would make a tremendous difference to Oldies Club and the gorgeous older dogs it cares and finds new homes for.

So, if you are a facebook user and can spare approximately 30 seconds, would you please click HERE and vote for Oldies Club? You just need to click on the link, approve the app, select Oldies Club and vote! It really is very quick and easy and your support would be really appreciated:)

It is very sad to think of all the dogs who lose their homes during their older age and Oldies Club does an amazing job of helping some of these older dogs by taking them into foster homes, caring for them and providing any veterinary treatment needed, while they are assessed for a new home. The charity takes in older dogs from all sorts of different situations and also lists many older dogs in the care of other UK rescues, via its website, free of charge, to support the general adoption of older dogs.

Those who have been following this blog for a while will know that our darling Jasper was an Oldies Club boy and we are eternally thankfully that the charity was there to take him in when he was due to be put to sleep. He was an incredible dog and was just one of many oldies the charity has saved.

Thank you,

Angela and Mr Moo, aged 13 and a quarter …

Loneliness ~ 52 HeARTs

Loneliness ~ Lacking companions or companionship ~ the theme for this week’s 52 HeARTs creative project from HeARTs Speak, a non-profit which connects artists (including photographers) around the world with rescues and shelters, to help animals in need.

I wasn’t able to visit the local rescue centre this week, so I looked closer to home for this assignment. I photographed the collars worn by two of our much missed dogs.

Once they were gone, their collars were something I could still hold. This brought some comfort amongst the pain. Though how I wish they could be filled once more, with the fur and energy of my loved ones. Each dog is a unique soul and each is missed tremendously.

Although I am comforted by my husband and our remaining dogs and the kind words of others, I certainly feel loneliness as part of the loss. An enormous sense of self-inflicted loneliness that I could not live my life without.

Loneliness is one of our greatest dreads. Most of us have felt it. Most of us have feared it ~ Mind.

 

You can always rely on a dog …

… to seek out the sunlight finding its way into a room:)

Friendship ~ 52 HeARTs

I’m proud to be a member of HeARTs Speak, a public charity started in the US, which connects artists (including photographers) around the world with rescues and shelters, to help animals in need.

I’m taking part in the 52 HeARTs creative project, which involves a different assignment each week. This week’s is Friendship. This photograph sums it up perfectly for me. Two girls, two rescue dogs, such great friends, chilling out together. Friends. Sisters. Precious ones.
