Im not sure if anyone remembers Tammy from Limerick Animal Welfare but she will be finding her way to the UK soon courtesy of Wiccaweys and she needs a home. She is absolutely beautiful but has suffered a great deal. I think it would be so lovely to see her rehomed via COL and watch her blossom. :luv: :luv: :luv: OH won't be convinced..... is there anyone out there who can give her a home!!!
This is what they have to say about her.....
'Tammy is a beautiful Golden Cocker who is coming to Wiccaweys from our friends at Limerick Animal Welfare. Tammy is around eight years old. Tammy was found wandering aimlessly around a housing estate. Tammy had huge matts of knotted hair hanging from her ears. Her rear quarters were also very matted.
The knots on Tammy's ears were so heavy that when she walked her head almost touched the ground. Tammy was such a sad sight. When she was picked up, it was realised she could not see. Nobody in the estate recognised Tammy.
The vet diagnosed her as having cataracts in both eyes. Tammy has little or no vision. Tammy was sedated to have the knots removed. The knots on her ears weighed 1.5lbs. Tammy is a very sweet affectionate girl. She will put her head on your lap for cuddles. She craves affection and reassurance ' :'(
THEN :'( >:(

OMG that poor baby's ears :'( :'( Hope she finds her forever home soon :luv:
-
She is absolutely gorgeous. Poor baby :'( I would love her but I don't think Kali and her energy would class us as a gentle home :-\
-
Awww ..those photo's made me cry :'( poor little sole ...I hope someone can give her a happy home
-
I remember reading about poor Tammy! I hope she finds her forever home soon! :luv:
-
My god I didn't even know what that was hanging from her head, how awful, that must of been dreadful to drag around, poor girl.
-
I remember reading about Tammy too, so glad to hear that she is well enough to make the trip here... lets hope she finds her perfect forever home soon, she certainly deserves it. :D
-
Good grief, the state of her it makes me weep :'( It makes me wonder it really does. I hope she is happy now :angel:
-
What a beautiful beautigul girl. How can these people do things like this. That type of knots dont develop in 5 mins. Those eyes, she is just right for a cuddle. If only i had a bigger house and could take her. I really hope she finds her forever home soon.
-
Poor darling,Just had a good cry :'( at her photos, so glad that she is going to find someone to love her here after all she has suffered, I do hope that someone on COL takes her, then we can all see her bloom with love.

Hi everyone
I have just had a pm from Liz who has unfortunately not been able to take Tammy.
She did say however that it was nothing to do with Tammy at all and she is 'an angel on four legs' and a real 'cuddle monster'
So if ANYONE out there wants to give a blind golden oldie a home for her last few years please get in touch with Wiccaweys
She has really stolen my heart :luv: :luv:.
I may even have a chat with OH - even though another dog wasnt really on the agenda ::)
-
Hi, I would be very interested in Tammy, I was adopted by Thomas nearly a month ago (doesnt time fly when your having fun :luv:)
he too was in a terrible condition but has come on in leaps and bounds, do you think it would be too soon to adopt another? I want to do what is best for both dogs, I am just going to have a peep at the wiccaweys web site now and maybe phone them for a chat :lol:

Hi Michelle, no advice sorry, but its was really nice to bump into you yesterday (how weird!). Thomas is a total babe :luv: totally mellow and unfazed by a stranger cudding him, unlike the ever impatient Betty ::) You've done a great job with him! Good Luck what ever you decide :D
-
I am just finding out if she is house trained ph34r :shades: ;)
-
I have just spent the last 10 minutes on the phone to Wiccaweys... Tammy sounds like an angel and absolutely adorable.
I have been completely honest with them about my current situation including the fact that Hurley sometimes gets left on his own during the day although we do have a dogsitter that we can/do use.
I am going to have a chat with the person who is fostering her and see how she might get on in our house.
Turns out that OH had already called about her too!! :005: :005:
-

Sounds like he's all for her then ;)
-
Good luck then, hope that Tammy will fit in. You'll have a lovely golden couple :luv:
-
I hope it all works out for you :D
Is she still in Northamptonshire then?
-
I hope it all works out for you :D
Is she still in Northamptonshire then?
I think so, I waiting to hear back from the fosterer..... The way I feel at the moment I would drive to Inverness :luv:
-

Hope all goes well for you. I'll never forget that first photo and would love to see her happy
Sarah and the boys
-
Everything crossed for you. I don't cry easily but her story had me shedding buckets when it first appeared. I really hope this works out for you all (and that your OH's post-stag-party benevolence lasts for a long, long time :005: :005:).
Lots of luck
-
Caroline, best of luck with Tammy... She's a real angel :angel: Who ever takes her on will be rewarded tenfold.

i so hope it all works out - even OH's icy heart melted a little bit when i showed him tammy (he's not that bad :005:)
fingers and paws crossed for you all xxxxxxxx
-
Good luck with the homecheck, I'll be so happy if you can have her, she's definitely one of those dogs who pulls on the heartstrings. :luv: She sounds like such a sweetie too.
Did anyone else look at the special case dogs section? Theres a 22 year old collie boy there. :o I'm in love. :'( :luv:

Thanks Helen :blink:
My OH was insistent that the next type of dog was to be a staffy or a 'mans dog' ::) ..... seems that somehow cockers have found a place in his heart too :lol: :lol:
If everything does go ok - I will be eternally grateful to him for letting us give Tammy this chance :luv: :luv:
-
Tammy is also being homechecked for some other people who are going to see her on Thursday :'( :'(
Obviously it may not work out but there is the chance that it will and I think I will be a bit sad if it does.
Perhaps it is the selfish part of me that wants her for me, but I also want the best home for Tammy, which Im sure Wiccaweys will ensure she gets.
Whatever will be, will be. (I just hope that the home is with me) :-\

I'm sure that she will go to the best home possible (fingers crossed for you Caroline) if for some reason you don't get her (curses :o) lets hope whoever does, finds us here at COL so we can see how she is doing :lol:
-
(I just hope that the home is with me) :-\
We all do too Caroline! ;) ;) ;)
Just tell Wiccaweys that you're an absolute connaisseur of the breed (on top of all the other pluses Tammy would have if she came to you)! :D
-
Don't give up hope Caroline, the day I phoned about Tilly I was told that there was a homechecked person coming to see her the next day and if they got on with her they would be taking her. I was gutted but as it turned out they went to see her and decided she wasn't for them (clearly they had no taste whatsoever :005:) and I got the call! So if it's meant to be it'll be ;) :luv:

Same with Jack - the people forgot to tell Sylvia that they had cats, and Jack does love to chase small furries - even miniature dogs (he doesn't see too well........).
-
any new yet Caroline?
-
Yes Caroline any news?, iv'e bitten my nails right down for you :005:
-
Nothing yet!!!! I am trying to not think about it because it is driving me insane!! ::)
-

I've just logged on to check whats happening with Tammy too!
Caroline have you been homechecked? Do you know if the other people have?
This little girl has stolen my heart :luv: .

This little girl has stolen my heart :luv: .
The other people have had their homecheck and passed and they are going to see her today, so it all depends on whether or not they get on with her and whether the rescue think she would be good with them.
I have my homecheck on Sunday, which, even if they do get her I will still go ahead with, just in case anything changes.......
I think I said on my previous post I will be sorely disappointed if she doesnt come home to us but I do want the best home for Tammy and if its with the people who got in there first then so be it!! ::)
She has stolen my heart too - I will tell the people at Wiccaweys to let any owner know about COL so that we may get to hear about her in the future if I dont get her.
-
Caroline, I really really really hope everything works out for you, I keep checking on here for the latest, it must be 100 times worst for you. Are they going to phone you if Tammy isn't taken? if they do make sure no one else is going to see her, so you dont have to go through all this again. If only Tammy knew just how many people had her in their hearts at the moment :luv:
-
Fingers still crossed. What a lot of friends she will have
-
All fingers, toes, legs, arms and paws still firmly crossed here too Caroline :D
-
Tammy went to her new home today :D :'(
I got a text from Wiccaweys a few minutes ago.
Obviously I am absolutely over the moon for her and her new owners but a little bit sad that it wasnt us.
Just want to say a big thanks to all my fellow COLers for all their support during this :D
-
Oh Caroline I am so sad for you :'( I know it must of been a good home for Tammy but I feel so bad that it wasnt with you :'(
Will you keep looking or just wait till your perfect second furbaby comes along? whatever you decide it will be a lucky doggy that finds you :luv:
Oh I know someone who has a pair to go together :005:
-

Thanks Michelle -
TBH - we werent looking for another dog - she just really touched OH and me - so the mad house will stay as it is for now!!!
-
Oh no Caroline hun I'm so sorry :'(
-
me too Nic but it just wasnt meant to be
She has probably gone to a home where there IS someone at home all day, where they're not planning on moving house in a few months time, where there's no hyper Hurley boy to annoy her and there's no little Mo Cat to eat all her food ;)
Wiccaweys know that if anything happens to her to get in touch with me and our offer still stands... so you never know!
-
Really sorry Caroline, but at least she has found a home... and you never know in the future you may be able to help out with another special doggie
-
Aw Caroline, sorry to hear that, I haven't replied up to now as been busy with a new contract but I've been checking back often to see for good news! :-\
-
Sorry Caroline...we'll have that cuppa another time then :-\ ;)
Give Hurley a big hug :luv:
-
Aww thats a shame, at least she has found someone eh :luv:
-
Oh Caroline you must feel so deflated. :'(
That ideal cocker is out there somewhere for you all to love & Hurley to harrass ;) :luv:
-
Thats an awful dissapointment for you Caroline but you are a star. You had her best interests at heart and at least she has a new forever home where she will be happy. Another one will come along that will be the right one for you and probably when, once again, you are not even looking. :-*
-
I'm so sorry Caroline, I know exactly how you must be feeling.
Have lots of cuddles with Hurley ;)
-
I'm delighted she has a new home but so sorry it wasn't with you & Hurley :'(
-
I''m sorry too. It's good that Tammy :luv: now has her forever home and will want no more :D -and that is what it is all about in the end, as you say.
However you know what it really means don't you?
It means that there is another waif who needs you even more than Tammy.
Nothing comes to us without good reason ;)
-
Best Wishes I'm sorry you didn't get her but glad she has a home.
-
Caroline, what about Kenzie at Many Tears? She is adorable too and desperate for a loving home. Would she be suitable for you?
-
Bad luck Caroline - it obviously was not meant to be this time. :-\ Lucky Tammy though to have 2 people who wanted her :D
Still, there seem to be plenty of lovely rescue cockers looking for a forever home :shades:
-
i was scared to read this today, i so wanted her to go to you caroline. i cried when i first saw her on the limerick website. it really would have been wonderful to watch her relax into a new home and learn to enjoy life.
there will be another tammy and i hope the new tammy touches your heart as tammy has.
i truly am sorry for you but happy for tammy too.
-
Aww Caroline I'm really sorry for you. :'(
I'm glad that Tammy has found a home that she will hopefully flourish in. Caroline, there are so many beautiful pooches out there who need someone just like you. :luv: I bet its not too long before someone else runs off with your heart. ;)
Big hug coming your way. ;)
-
Caroline - I'm sorry that she isn't with you but happy that she has her home now ;)
You will find another 'heart stopper' some day :luv:
-
I'm sorry it wasn't your home Caroline but wishing Tammy all the best in her new home :luv:
