Truffle came into us today from Holding kennels. They had had her more than her time but knew she was a lovely dog and didn't want to make that dreaded decision. She is every bit as lovely as they said she was. She is good with other dogs, gentle, laid back and loves people, especially men. Truffle has several scars and war wounds that have healed and we suspect that she has had to work to eat. 25" at the shoulder she is beautiful. Still holding onto a winter coat, we suspect that she is around 18 months and a bit. When the dead coat comes out she will be a beautiful swan with a sleek black smooth look. She is just beautiful. Truffle is being fostered in Surrey. Has had her first vax and been microchipped today. We will be booking her in for neutering shortly. A HUGE Thank you to Lorna and Carl for her initial assessment, for transporting her to North Weald and for taking her to the vets for us - that was a tight squeeze today. And an equally HUGE thank you to Keith for taking her to South Mimms to meet up with Laurie, her foster mummy.

Just got in. My camera battery is on charge so I can take some of my ledgendary horrendously bad pictures of Truffle. She is just so beautiful.She was so quiet and good in the car all the way home. Not a sound from her. She has come into our house and our pack met her one at a time - Chas is very taken with her. The others sniffed her and she is now one of the pack! Had a big pee outside. She is walking round familiarizing herself with the house now. She is in remarkably good condition apart from scars and kennel coat and thinness. Just great with both me and Ed so no people fear at all. She is very greyhoundy with a bit of ?whippy? maybe but she has a bit of a roman nose, only a tiny bit tho a bit saluki like. A huge thank you to Keith who trimmed her nails, cleaned her teeth and bathed her and put salve on some of her wounds. It was lovely to finally get to meet you Keith. This is going to be one stunning dog as soon as she has a bit more weight on and a sleek shiny black coat. I will be posting pictures soon.

Lovely to hear Truffle has fitted in well with Lauries pack - she is such a wonderful dog. She slept the whole way to the vets and was an angel when she had her vacs and microchip. I would just like to say thank you to Jo and family at the holding kennels who looked after Truffle so well
