    This has never happened before on Christmas Day, complete devastation, very strong winds and torrential rain. After moving the dogs in the house from the ground floor to the upper floor for safety, which as you can see was fast filling with sewage water, to the upper floor.

    As the forecast is for more storms tomorrow, we went up to the caravan and found the shed had been completely devastated, with all the expensive electronic equipment which ran our limited solar electricity and all Alan’s electric tools in thick mud and water. The solar we did have has now been destroyed and the solar panels were blown into the olive tree.

  • Podenco Vidal – Appel des Levriers find his forever home in France

    Vidal chained 250This photo was of Vidal, a podenco chained up in a disused building. Luckily he was found and rescued. I’ve finally found out what happened to him.

    Vidal was chained to a wall, he tried to free his head from the chain around his neck but it got caught in his mouth and he was then left like that as nobody really bothered with him. He then eventually either broke free or he was turned loose. When he began running around the town centre people saw his plight and the town hall was very pro-active in assisting with his capture and getting him a rescue place. He travelled to France where Sandrine, of Appel of Levriers, placed him in a foster home. The family fell in love with him and adopted him. Here’s a photo of him with his friends, and a stuffed rabit which he adores.
