Gyp, Caitlin and Spotsy

An update for all Spotsy’s friends.

Keith and I first visited Fen Bank in May 2009 where we had a difficult choice to make.  We were looking for a gentle dog as a companion to our older boy Gyp the lurcher in his twilight years.  I fell in love with Spotsy but our heads had to rule and as he was a big bouncy boy felt he would not be the right choice for Gyp who had a few leg and back problems at the time.  After much deliberation and excellent guidance from Jenny we adopted Caitlin who quickly became part of our family and settled in very nicely as you can see from the photos..

Sadly in December after a brief but painful illness Gyp was put to sleep and our world was shattered. Caitlin missed him although their friendship had been brief and in May this year we contacted Fen Bank to discover that Spotsy was still there.  Would he be a suitable dog for Caitlin?…well judge for yourselves.  They both appear to enjoy caravanning.

We have now had Spotsy for 3 weeks and it feels as though he and Caitlin have been with us forever.  Fate has played a massive part in this union and our sincere thanks to all at Fen Bank for leading us to these 2 beautiful dogs.

Spotsy has made many friends both through the sanctuary and the website and we would like to share with all of you his new contentment with us.

A special thanks to Jenny for her understanding of “us Yorkshire folk” (there's nowt wrong with Yorkshire folk - Ed)

Kind regards and best wishes
