Bebe and myself wish all Podenco Post readers a peaceful and joyous Christmas and a healthy, happy and prosperous 2019. Thank you all for continuing to read the News and supporting the appeals to help need hounds.

My adorable little Bebe is 16 years old now, slowing down a little but still bossing the galgo pack around! Below are a few pix we’re sharing with you, including one of the first ones I received when she was rescued with an injured hip from a road in Seville. Such a tiny skinny traumatised little podenca.

There’s also one of her in her favourite spot in front of the fire with buddy Polar from Pepis Refuge and another with Bracken from Galgos del Sol. Also helping Polar, Carmela and Bracken clean up the barbeque!
