Help! I'm a Twitter addict ...

Forgive me, readers, for I have sinned.  It has been months since I blogged properly.  I wish I could blame it entirely on the cancer (though that is a contributory factor, make no mistake) but it's because I've become addicted to Twitter.

The Twitterati warned that this could happen.  I just love Twitter because it's sooooo dog-friendly. Short sharp messages that even the dimmest canine can comprehend!  In the time it takes to write a post on this blog, I could have tweeted (or twittered?) goodness knows how many messages!

Anyway, I digress.  The reason that I have been compelled to return to the blog is that those media-savvy folk at the Dogs Trust are using Twitter to rehome dogs.  Now I happen to think that is an extremely good use of their time and resources!

One particular dog caught my eye and I think she deserves a mention here, too.

Tess, from Canterbury, is a gorgeous Golden Lab (yes, I know I'm biased) who has got three legs.  So many people will be put off by her disability.  But don't.  Although I still have four legs (the Mistress won't think of amputating my diseased one - too risky, says the vet), I am motoring around on three. It's hard work for an old girl, let me tell you! But, it's Tess we're talking about so here's here profile from the website:

I am a special girl, who is full of Labrador character but I only have three legs. My history is quite unknown as I am a stray so the staff don’t know how I lost my leg. I really am looking for a friendly, calm environment that will love me for me and provide me with the environment I need, one where I won’t be expected to do long walks and where I can pretty much poodle about and do my own thing.

I am a very sociable girl, I’m good with other dogs and everyone I meet. I love my food as a Labrador should and lying in the sun. I have not yet been around cats and I would best suit a home with children aged around 8-9 plus.

Check her out at the Dogs Trust website

You won't be disappointed.
