Just an update on the day's progress- well, there hasn't been any actually. Vet checked for a chip- negative. Went onto all our lost and found pet websites- nothing. Spent the morning driving around to all vets and animal rescues in the area and beyond- nobody is missing a cocker pup. When we bathed her, we saw lots of little sores, scabs and scratches under her hair- she had been out wandering for quite some time. She was covered in parasites. After getting her all cleaned up, she looks really beautiful- except for a few chunks of fur missing from her ears. The hair was so matted we had to cut the dreads out. Brushing didn't help at all. We have named her Saffron for now. She has stuck like glue to Dilyn- think it's going to break his heart if she has to go. But it's looking more and more like she was abandoned. The vet said the chances are slim that anyone is looking for her- if she was a loved little pup she would have had identification and they would have been actively looking for her. She is such a darling and is getting used to bailey now- she quickly puts him in his place if he oversteps any boundaries. All in all- she is wonderful! Can't believe anybody would not want her.
