The folks that she's on trial with contacted me through this blog and the wonderful news is that she's settling in well. They've already got one retired hound - a black boy called Mick.
Now as I've mentioned before the black dogs hang around longer in kennels than their more striking counterparts. However, here's what Mick's owners say about him:
"We re-homed Mick from Hersham and though he was a bit tatty when we first got him, he's scrubbed up very well indeed! Through a good diet, lots of grooming and a soft bed (well, usually the sofa!), the quality of his coat has improved no end. People now regularly comment on what a striking dog he is and '...Oh, isn't his glossy black coat beautiful!?!'"
So, for those of you who are tempted to go for a "prettier" coat colour than black . Don't!
Back to Ava. The little tinker is up to mischief as usual and, amongst other things, has been chewing homework... great excuse that.
And - I have a picture. Here are Ava and Mick together:
