SALLY the shop girl’s story!
Quote Of The Month As a wise person once said? “In a perfect world every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog”
I
am often asked about Sally as she sits there at the front of the club shop and since I am still waiting for Shane to write me his story decided to tell you a bit about her as it always seems to be about the big girls Marla & Elsa?
We searched everywhere, no female Spaniels to be found. Then in the paper was one female golden. I rang up and she was 8 weeks old and had all her dishes, toys and even her futon in the price?
Just over Nine years ago we had 3 spaniels; two very old ones and Prue a seven year old. We had to do the right thing with Goldie & Pippin and they went for their long sleep in my arms 2 months apart when they got really ill and we only had Prue left. Within weeks I knew something was wrong and after many tests found she had liver cancer and she followed her sisters and I lost it completely. I was inconsolable, Bill had to take days off work and then said lets look for a puppy but a golden one not Black as Prue had been.
To make a long story short the lady had bought her at 6 weeks and had her for 2 weeks she still was not toilet trained so was selling her... yes I know?

Sally is definitely my dog, although she loves her dad too, but where I am in or out of the house she is at my feet or beside me on the couch or at the bottom of my bed when Bill is out training at night. We took her to Obedience Training at 4 months and she started Agility within months of that. She loved it, only problem was, ME. As Bill does the training, due to my health, Sally needed to know where I was, so she would get up on the dog walk and stop and scan the grounds looking for me. But she did get her Agility Title and her Jumping Title as well as an ADDA Agility Title but I was fed up hiding so Bill tried the Obedience ring mmm... same problem, ME? She was so busy watching for me she didn’t

Disclaimer please note:
I was down there like a shot and she was in this little area in the entry looking so sad. I bent down picked her up and she ran up my chest put her front paws round my neck and held on for grim death she was not going anywhere, we paid for her and my daughter and I got her out of there fast!
