We have Leelou from Paris back for a visit and she’s a characterful noisy little pudding who is at least helping Galen and the schnauzers bond as they dodge her Parisienne feistiness. I am hoping (not planning as this is the year the ink isn’t dry on them before they burn!) for a quiet September.
I’m finding it hard to believe it’s just a week ago that I arrived home with Galen. So heaven knows what he thinks! He’s doing brilliantly. At dawn this morning he had a lovely free running zoomie moment with Albert which lifted my heart and couldn’t have started our day better.
He’s healed physically but emotionally has a little way to go, and may never be a normal dog exactly. I will not forget what he has survived, nor the dogs he’ll have left behind in the hands of a breeder in Wales who should not still be operating but is. More on that another day.
Galen Soleil joined us this week, arriving in time for the solar eclipse (the second part of his name), and Galen is in honour of Angel (anagram). Galen until recently was stuck in a breeding place. He’s had 29 teeth removed due to severe dental disease, treatment for ear mites and neutering.
Saving You, Saving Me can be pre-ordered now in time for its autumn release. It’s the real story behind the charity, my most personal writing and it’s taken me years to complete. Sales will directly support the charity’s work (I will make no profit). maddisonhousepress.co.uk/product/savi...
New book coming in the autumn, more details to follow #Schnauzerfest #SchnauzerGang #Writers
July 2019 and it was Twinkle’s last summer. It feels a lifetime ago. In a way it was, Angel’s lifetime with us. She joined us in the autumn that year. When Angel died earlier this month I vowed to speak louder about the harm done to dogs in the breeding industry. I will keep that promise to her.
In the age of AI slop, people would do well to remember words ascribed to Samuel Johnson: "What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure"
Yesterday we collected Angel’s ashes and brought her home. She’s back with the gang.
Very sadly Angel died on 1st July after a terrifyingly aggressive tumour decided to claim her. Thankfully she remained seemingly unaffected despite it ravaging her beautiful face in the space of a few days. We’re remembering her as she lived her life with us, loudly, bossily and utterly uniquely.
We have seriously sad news about Angel. But we will love, love and love her more for as long as we have left together. www.janettaharvey.com/writing/angel/
I love this story. Allowing dogs into the shop to help reduce risks of them being left in cars or outside as we endure a horrible heatwave here in SW 🇫🇷 And I love the boss’s comment addressing hygiene concerns that some humans are dirtier than dogs. www.marmiton.org/actus-superm...?

It’s almost 2 years since Nanou came to live with us. Life was bad for her in the breeding industry but today she’s the happiest little dog. Not all dogs recover as well. Some carry lifelong trauma. The puppy industry is driven by an insatiable demand by the public and is wrong on many levels.
