Tomorrow will be Paddy's first gotcha day, how time flies, A month after losing my beautiful girl Bonnie i felt the time was right to have another lab in my life, I came across this site on the very day Paddy was being returned from his first rehoming, talk about fate taking a hand, as soon as i saw him i knew he was for me, we travelled down on the friday to pick him up and havent looked back since, the stray dogs that Glenys so generously brings over from Ireland all have issues but with time and patience they can be overcome, its taken a year for him to be allowed off the lead on walks, and he will still gladly go on the wander if given the chance, the arrival of Aoife (also from Ireland) seems to have a very good effect on him, and all I can say now is, Thank you Glenys and the rest of the team for bringing us together, I now have two of the kindest most loving dogs i could wish for, HAPPY GOTCHA DAY Mr MAGINTY (paddy maginty) his nickname

Happy Gotcha Day Paddy, I rememebr when I got your email Jan to say you were intrested in Paddy and telling me about the lovely place you lived in I thought it sounded like dog Heaven...it only seems like yesterday when you came to see Paddy and thankyou so much for giving him such a wonderful home, and Aoife as well, the Irish dogs need time and TLC and soon they become the most loyal loving dogs you could ever wish for.
