Actually, the phone rings twice that day, and there are two astonishing emails. The first email is from Ingrid, who helps a Dutch charity that rehomes dogs from a shelter in the East of Crete. Ingrid says she can foster four of the pups. Then, Ilona calls to say Echo has a home; she calls again shortly afterwards to say Imeldos may have a home too! Then Ingrid emails again to say they will foster ALL the pups! What an amazing lady – to take on six puppies from someone you’ve never met. We hope there is a God, because she saved us when we were absolutely in the depths of despair. (Don’t forget, we’ve had husky Bruce for a couple of months and he’s taking quite a bit of looking after – energy we just don’t have.) Here are the four little loves we are left with after Echo leaves, out on a walk, looking very swanky in their harnesses, doncha think?!
