In the mean time I took in a lurcher which had been abandoned on the road in a poor state, I took him to the Dog Trust kennels as I didnt think he would get on with my feisty JR. They could not take him for a couple of days and suggested I take him to the pound. I just couldnt do this as he had the most beautiful trusting eyes so I said I would keep him in my stable until they could have him. In the mean time I muzzled the terrier and they started walking together, as you can imagine I could not part with this dog who we have called Tod and they have now progressed to running together unmuzzled and Tod is now allowed into the house with no hassle. He is a beautiful trusting dog with no aggression at all which has helped a lot as when the JR growls he ignores him. His health has improved greatly and I cannot move out of his sight. He also gets on with my terrier bitch who was grieving for the corgi. Its as if she is looking down on them and making sure things are ok. I am just so relieved that I can give him a loving home as the vet said he is only young. I do believe things happen for a purpose but the timing was so uncanny. RIP my beautiful girl.
