Whoa whoa I'm so happy looking at these photos .. Little Clara was one of the first dogs I walked at the kennels.. What a life she has now and boy does she deserve it.. She was a little sweetheart.

Well done Clara .. Keep smiling little one, I bet she is in heaven :D :D

IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE WE'VE MET CLARA...

Clara has been a wonderful addition to our family. She has exceeded our most optimistic expectations: being a perfect lady most of the time. She gets along very well with Bailey, our older dog. Attached are some pictures of what we have been doing this past month.

With love to all of you for your never ending work! (Jeremy looks absolutely amazing - We can't believe he has healed that well !!)

Clara looks such a happy little girl and I'm sure I speak for many of the volunteers... If only we had that weather here in the UK, we're very envious !

Clara was hugely popular at the kennels amongst kennel staff and walkers alike. I used to love walking her. It is so lovely to see her updates, to know that she is happy and has settled in with her new family and is much loved. :thanks.gif: xx

At the end of September, the family, including Riley, went to Massachusetts for 6 weeks. She had a great time, and is now back home in California. Below are some pictures of her adventures.
