Old girl with fast past in need of sofa space
November 15th 2008 07:09
Dammit, it's always a mistake visiting the Victorian Greyhound Adoption Program web site. They have lots of pictures of dogs looking for adoptive homes, and that tugs at the heart. And they have some fiendishly clever copywriting to go with the pictures, and that tugs at the heart even more.
If I followed my heart every time I looked at that web site, I'd have two hundred dogs. I already have two greyhounds and two sofas, and there just isn't any more sofa space at my place.
Today, however, it was especially tough to say no. Today I read about Tess.
Here is what they say on their home page here: "Poor Tess truly believes that no-one will love her because they'll think she's too old. Please prove her wrong! You don't want to hear this old girl cry!"
Why not, I ask - it put a tear in the eye of this old boy.
Here is what they say about Tess on their main information page here: "8yo Whelped 07/01/2000, Racename - OUR DREAMTIME. Tess has been a mum and now she's looking for a quiet couch to laze her days in. Tess is not a girl who needs lots of exercise - as far as she's concerned, the less exercise the better! If you're looking for a quieter, low maintenance dog, then look no further. She is not cat friendly."
Tess is available for adoption immediately. Please, someone, ring them now on (03) 5799 0166.
Before I do.
