How lucky I was to receive a valentine's day card from such a handsome chap! He is good looking, has a full head of hair, twinkly eyes and a stunning smile. With a great sense of humour, he makes me laugh. What more could you ask for?
His name is Gazza and he is my Dogs Trust sponsor dog. I was thrilled to receive his card with the following words:
" Woof Woof, it's Gazza here!
"I've just spotted the postman dropping off all the Valentine's cards to the Centre! I hope there are some in the sack for me. Anyway, I thought I'd put paw to paper and send out one of my own - I hope you like it!
"I don't really have a girlfriend at the moment, but that's because I'm too busy hanging out with all the lads here at the sanctuary. My pals and I love the Beautiful Game, and there's nothing better to warm ourselves up on a cold February morning than a spot of football! I'm not as talented as some of my friends, but I've taken to sticking like glue to Jason, my fellow sponsor dog. He's the best with the ball, so I'm hoping to pick up some tips!
"When I'm not out on the pitch, you're likely to find me playing with my Kong - it's my favourite toy! My carers have been known to stuff it full with cream cheese. It's a great game, and trying to get every last morsel keeps me entertained for hours!
"Thanks for being my pal and sponsoring me. I hope you have a wonderful day. Will you be my Valentine?
"Love and licks, Gazza xx"
Well doesn't that make your heart melt? Gazza is a Golden Retriever cross cared for at the Dogs Trust centre in Salisbury. Dogs Trust do a great job caring for and rehoming dogs. I have sponsored several dogs that have passed away in their care. They gave them a home for life, even though they had problems and needed costly medication. Two dogs that I sponsored were cared for by them for 6 years.
If you would like to give as little as £1 per week to sponsor Gazza or another dog, please visit www.SponsorADog.org.uk . Your contribution will help Dogs Trust to continue their fantastic work.
