Ahhh Cleo you are so very lovely. I am interested to hear that she enjoyed the agility Catherine as my Quinn loves it and recently won his very first rosette at his third kennel club agility competition! Mmmmm…………this girl is getting even more tempting!!
I met the lovely Cleo in equipet at the weekend and she was wonderful..a very sweet, friendly and relaxed girl (with a bit of a cheeky streak in her too).
If I only had the room for a bigger dog she would have been coming home with me
Well after 4 weeks of work reducing the lovely Cleo off her Pheno’s she is finally off them since yesterday.. So ive been keeping a very close eye on her the last 24 hours just to make sure she’s alright, She did bark a little yesterday for no reason at all but im putting it down to if it was me not having my fix of pheno i would be feeling a bit funny too…… Apart from that she loved her walk last night as always and was chasing ball too. So please god she’ll relax a bit now and settle down while she is getting use to feeling a bit more normal and be down to earth a little more instead of living in the clouds!!!
Will keep you all updayed on how she is doing off them..
Cleo is still looking for somewhere special to call her OWN home and be the lady of the house and spoilt rotten.. If you can give this darling the home she so long over due deserves please fill in an adoption for and send it to Sarah AKA Curly@dogsindistress.org
Hi Catherine. I was wondering how the lovely Cleo is getting on now since shes been off her phenobarbitone meds as I noted its been about a month since she came off them? I hope all is well with her?
Cleo is doing super she really really is Catherine has been wonderful to her and she looks amazing. She is one of the best dogs we have ever come across and you couldn’t find a nicer temperament even if you tried really really hard
They deserve a standing ovation for all they did for Cleo. Thanks to Catherine and Tom and DID for making it happen. It’s hard to believe!!
Ok so the secret is out…. the lovely Cleo has found a place of her own at last.
We were keeping it under wraps for a few days just to be sure she settled.
Cleo went last saturday to the most genuine family we have ever had the pleasure of homing one of our fosters to. They fell in love with cleo the moment they laid eyes on her and took everything on board as regards her epilepsy and none of it phased them. We know that they will give Cleo alot of love and happiness for the rest of thier lives.
We just wanna say thank you to them for showing such an open heart and mind. They bring meaning to the old saying
" NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER "Best of luck in your new home Cleo you have left an empty slot on the kitchen floor ( which Catherine is rapidly trying to fill with as many puppies as possible)
Love
Daddy Tom XxXxXxXWhat a lovely post tom!
I just want to state the same. Cleo is one of the nicest, most gentle, loving, caring dogs I have had the pleasure of meeting. I am so thrilled that her wonderful new family saw cleo for what she was rather then her "illness". She really is the most wonderful addition to any family and we all have our fingers cross that she has finally found her forever home.
I would also like to thank the whole dogluvers clan who never gave up on cleo and never once complained about having her in foster so long. They were so patient and caring to her and she is a credit to the work they have put in to loving all of the dogs and pups lucky enough to have landed on their doorstep in need of a bed.
Whats the phrase – good things come to those who wait. well Cleo has waited and hopefully she has now found her home. well done dogluvers and family for helping this lovely dog find her place.
I am absolutely over the moon for this girl. I hope she will be very happy in her new home. Thank you so much Catherine, Tom and family for all that you did for her. I so hope we get an update and pics on how she is doing.
oh my! this is just wonderful news..so great as you say that these people could see beyond her illness and love her for who she is.! It must be so so hard for you doglovers but you are fabulous in how you cared for Cleo right from the start! Best of luck Cleo in your fab new home..
I would just like to start by saying thank you to everyone for your lovely comments..
Cleo was a pleasure to have stay with us i was just amazed she was with us for so long.. I loved Cleo very much she was different to any other foster dog we have had and was like one of my own.. It was heartbraking when she left. Some of you might say well then why didnt i keep her?? The reason i didn’t keep her was because i felt like i limited myself to how many fosters i took and didnt wanna take to many so we never stressed her out…
But in saying that me have loads of brilliant memories of cleo and funny moments like when i was playing up on the dunes on the beach with her and she ran staight down the dune upending Tom straight up in the air and left him lying on the ground… While she took of back up to me ( as i lay on the dunes in a heap laughing)..Cleo’s family are lovely they adore her and as Tom said they love her for who she is and that her condition didn’t matter and the med’s didn’t matter, they just wanted to give her a happy life.. They have 2 young kids just 2 and 5 years and they just adore her… Cleo has also met the extended family cousins ect and everyone just loves her(who wouldn’t) and cloe just takes it all in her stride..
I believe everything happens for a reason and i think the reason Cleo stayed with us so long cos was cos her new family just hadn’t found her yet. I get daily updates and she has settled well and seems to be happy. They bhave taken her off on her favorite walks which is the beach and everyone had a ball.
I have also lost my mascot for doing my DID awareness days. So i don’t know what i’ll do with out her i miss her so much she was like a best friend to me there is no one to meet me at the door anymore and i feel like im forgetting something all the time cos im not giving anyone meds…
The best of luck my special darling i hope you live a very long and happy life i loved having you here and i cant wait to come and see you in a few weeks wehen your all settled in and you can show me your new bed….. Miss you always Cleo your a very sepcial girl and i hink you are a very lucky girl to have landed in the hands of DID.
I would also like to thank Maire for never giving up on her when she had to stay in the vets to try and get her sytable on her meds and a special thank you to the admin team for never giving up on looking for the home she deserved.. If it had of been any other pound in Dublin Cleo had of arrived in she would never of had the chance she deserved…Best of luck my special on you always have a space in my heart
Lots of love
Foster mammy
