Tuesday18th April.
Arrived Sri Lanka....😍
Wanted to start off with my last day at the centre in Goa.. What a day, maybe quiet fitting and a reminder of all you go through on a daily basis there feeling all the emotions of a roller coaster and that was just the animals stuff......and very touching moments and wonderful feedback with the very special people I shared alot of my time with each day( didn't have time to take any photo's of these people which I would of liked to of done)..I felt I left a piece of my heart there, and suppose now it can only get bigger.
A lot of staff were off on my last day so worked in with the puppies and kittens/cats.
Adopted a kitten. A older puppy was brought back that had been adopted wasn't getting on with her dog. A man who didn't speak English herd the conversation at the office and watched me take the puppy out for a walk and feed was watching all this for quiet a while then he said he will adopt the puppy he had one same age who was going to the clinic...was wonderful for the two who got adopted. The last puppy who had contact with the parvo puppies were waiting to see her PHOO and it was normal was such a relief after losing the other two...
A black puppy just wondered in to the centre who had been dumped there by someone. Many many puppies have been dumped at the centre down the road from the centre in bags boxes etc.. .I have lost count on the amount of puppies dumped at the centre TO MANY..I no it even happens in NZ..
The puppies black body was just moving full of fleas and ticks. Bathed her deflea/tick treatment, got her vet checked which we have to do with every puppy/kitten// that comes in and do paper work for them,.. Spent some lovely time with the other puppies and walked some. Had Bathed 6 puppies that were dumped also that week who all had skin problem's, they were looking alot better after afew more baths..
This second dog that was dumped at the centre on my last day just broke my heart. He was a older dog with a limp who had been into the clinic a few days earlier ...The disappear in his eyes trying to attached to someone gave him some food and he stuck to anyone who showed him some affection. We thought he could just stay there as many dogs just hang put at the centre and get feed. Left him outside to see of he got on with he other dogs, and he just screamed and hollowed being put outside just broke your heart. Karen came in to stay goodbye and got me to do a survey with a lady doing them around Goa rescue centres with local staff and volunteers. Asked if we could put him in a kennel and keep him to see if someone would take care of him. We decided to do this Karen spent abit of time with him and just before I were going to put him in a kennel Karen left and he chased the car he wanted to be with her with her it was so sad to see. All I could do was watch...Feeling in disappear myself I got my driver to take me down to find him and he was there down he road he got brought back to be in a kennel and then I left there for maybe the last time. Saying my good byes to the people and doggies took me a while..............
And that was a pretty usual sort of day at the centre, a day in the life of a roller coast rider....wanted to just let you all no that is what it is.....but the good and positive outcomes made a difference for each of them. And that happened daily for many others also.
Sorry about long post but though it a good opportunity to share the sufficiency of my last day.
Thought to all at home in NZ.
