The World’s Bravest Cat
Pogo the cat tests the suitability of dogs for living with felines for the Dogs Trust.
There’s a video here on the BBC.
It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

The Dogs Trust are amazing. We had to rehome two doggies who had been living with a very elderly relative and her teenage grandson, and had been badly neglected, we had been trying to get the dogs out of there via another well known animal charity for some months before the relative was taken into hospital and then a care home, but that charity did nothing. Dogs Trust took them in, cared for them, got them well again, neutered the male dog, and then found them loving homes. The other animal charity, the one who did nothing, have the power to take people to court for neglecting animals, and to get court orders forbidding people from keeping animals again, which would have been our preference. But they did nothing.

I have had dealings with the charity I think you refer to and they really need a good kick up the backside. They’re far too political and don’t do enough for animals. Although in the end they did come good, when we called them because a disabled dog was loose on the stud.

Yes, the charity I refer to is rather policitcal. I know I was not the only person contacting them every few days about this doggies. Several of the neighours were as well. If there had been any way I could have got them out myself and cared for them, I would have done. There is another lovely animal charity called Cinnamon Trust who help elderly and disabled people care for their companion animals. Before things got so bad with these doggies, we had spoken to them, and they were willing to send in a volunteer each day to walk the dogs, and make sure they were fed properly. But elderly relative and her grandson told me in no uncertain terms that the dogs had cost £300 each and they werent letting strangers take them out!

She looked OK on television this morning. I’m reminded of the Dog Training Centre, that had a proven method of stopping dogs chasing sheep. They had a Romney Marsh ram, who’d been fostered by a German shepherd, so it thought it was one. When chased by a dog, it really gave them the business and they never chased sheep again.
