Eleven years ago today, we adopted this little bundle of loveliness.

She had been beaten and had a broken shoulder (in many places) and a dislike of children. We were told she'd never run.

We didn't mind. 
We loved her anyway.

Turns out she does run - like the ruddy wind. 
I suspect she is part lurcher!
Thankfully she has great recall.

I was hoping to invite doggie pals Charlie (the schnauzer often featured in my blips) and Maddy (the Jack Russell) for a run about in the garden and owners for a cuppa - but second confinement has put paid to that.

Only fitting I guess. I had a lockdown bday in March, now Tara and by Dec 10th we'll all have had one!

Happy adoption day Tara - you bring us more joy than you'll ever know.
