Everybody’s Dog by Gloria Morgan I usually write about something a bit historical, or a bit whimsical, but this time I have something personal I would like to share with you, and above all I want to express my most sincere gratitude and thanks. I have a beautiful rescue dog named Jill who is the loveliest companion. She is nearly twelve, a most placid, obedient, playful, happy dog. She came to me from Protecting Pre-Loved Border Collies at the end of June 2020. It’s clear that she had been much loved and well cared for by her original owner as she has been totally trusting and affectionate from the very start, and we have developed a lovely bond between us. Jill came to me with a medical problem – she had a large fatty lump under her left arm-pit which extended down her leg. It must have been growing slowly for a very long time. Because of this pre-existing condition it was impossible to get pet insurance, therefore Protecting Pre-Loved Border Collies undertook to pay the cost of any veterinary treatment relating to the lump. so much of their resources on Jill could mean their having to turn away other collies in need of re-homing. Such was my concern that, with the help of Kimberley’s “Mad Hatter”, we set up a fund-raising appeal, asking people to donate their small change, to try to reimburse the charity as much as possible. The kindness and generosity of people has left me amazed and very humbled. Donations flowed into the website. People stopped me in the street and pressed money into my hands. Through everyone’s kindness and generosity we have been able to repay the charity every penny. Jill has exceeded all my expectations in her recovery. She is pain-free now which is wonderful. She rebalanced herself on three legs within 48 hours of the operation and can walk just fine. The wound has healed beautifully, and the fur is growing back. She is bright and bouncy and wants to play all the time. The tail never stops wagging. Without a doubt, the operation has given her a new lease of life. I can’t praise the vets enough for the job they have done, nor can Jill and I and Protecting Pre-Loved Border Collies adequately thank all our wonderful anonymous donors who have shown such heartwarming generosity, and such appreciation of these beautiful dogs. In July this year the horrible lump rapidly grew even bigger and began to cause Jill a lot of discomfort. She couldn’t bear to put her foot to the ground. So, of course, we went to the vet. He said there was no possibility of removing the very invasive lump. After careful consideration, and a second opinion, he recommended that the leg should be amputated. With my heart in my mouth, I agreed. At an operation performed on August 4th the leg – and a lump weighing 3kg – were removed. This meant I was now calling upon Protecting Pre- Loved Border Collies to cover two thousand pounds’ worth of surgery. It is a small charity run entirely by volunteers. I was worried that having to expend tailored for dyslexic readers titles suitable for adults and children including short stories, autobiography, World War I and World War II, historical adventure, picture story-books for younger readers.
