Thanks for all your emails after the ggood sortsh programme. http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/good-sort-finn-mobility-dog-video-5129567 Your interest, support and encouragement make me feel very loved. I have received approx 20 offers to take Finn. Many have had me in tears ? caring and taking in an old dog is huge. Many are from people also with elderly Golden Retrievers, with lifestyle blocks. A WEE generalisation, but dog-lovers are good people! My choice was made easy though, when Finnfs puppy walker/trainer came forward. So he is going back to his first-ever home. Ahh, the circle of life! Ifm so pleased. I just heard today, my new dog, Levi, will join me on 3.12.12. itfs a little bitter/sweet, as Ifm sure you can imagine. Warm wishes Viv
