Please stop and look inside my cage – a canine plea
A moving piece of prose, so true.
I’m weary and I am lonely and,I am so afraid.
Please don’t pass me by, will you come to my aid?
It’s hard to understand why I was thrown on to the street
Left alone in the middle of nowhere with nothing around to eat.
I wasn’t given a reason for being wanted no more
I was left alone and abandoned. Now what was all that for?
I never did any naughty things, of that I am so sure.
I never barked or ruined things. I even gave my paw.
So why do human’s feelings change? I’m trying to see why
They would throw a good dog out like me, Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. -
Industrial Washing Machine Needed at Pepis Dog Refuge
Can you imagine washing dog bedding and dog coats for over 70 dogs – in a normal household domestic washing machine?!! Nightmare! This is what Jane Brian is having to use at the moment. It only takes 4 blankets at a time. Volunteer Laura Savill has started fundraising for a industrial machine but needs help. The machine will cost 2000 euros, at the moment just over 300 euros have been raised. It would be lovely if by June (2016) enough money is raised so that Jane can purchased the machine and start washing in style and the blanket mountain goes down.
You can either donate by using paypal pepis.dogrefuge@yahoo.co.uk or by bank transfer which can be found through the website Pepisdogrefuge.com
Thanks in anticipation – Laura

Yo Galgo – film about the Spanish Galgo
Here is a taster about a film being made on the life and treatment of the Spanish galgo. It’s through kickstarter, which raises money to fund finishing the film. The amount needed has already been raised and surpassed, so you don’t need to donate. Just watch the film, and see the attitude of the Spanish galguero!
