APPEAL FOR INFORMATION – 🚨 WARNING DISTRESSING CONTENT 🚨

An elderly male shih tzu came into our care yesterday afternoon after being found on Maerdy Mountain. He was in very poor condition and had a number of painful untreated medical conditions. He was unable to stand and it was clear he was very unwell.

After being rushed to our vets we had to make the very sad decision to put him to sleep to end his suffering. Seeing the condition that he was in and knowing that he has likely been suffering for some time was extremely upsetting for even our most experienced team members.

He was microchipped and through this we have found that his name was Finley and he was 16 years old. However, we have not been able to get any owner information from his microchip. Therefore, we are appealing for information about where Finley has come from. If you recognise him or have any information, please contact us on 01443 226659.

We often hear a lot about Irish and Italian Americans. We know that Biden is proud of his Irish roots and that Trump is of German and Scottish heritage. Did you know, however, that 11 United States Presidents had considerable Welsh ancestry?

John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, William Harrison, Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Calvin Coolidge and Richard Nixon all have enough Welsh ancestral roots to be termed "Welsh Americans". Jefferson Davis, the leader of the Confederacy, was also of considerable Welsh heritage.

In fact, the Welsh diaspora was so strong in 19th Century America that there were 200,000 Welsh speaking citizens on the east coast and Presidents, most notably Abraham Lincoln, had campaign leaflets published in Welsh to target their vote.

If a dog was your life teacher you would learn things like:
• When loved ones come home, always run to greet them;
• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride;
• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy;
• Take naps;
• Stretch before rising;
• Run, romp, and play daily;
• Thrive on attention and let people touch you;
• Avoid biting when a simple growl will do;
• On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass;
• On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree;
• When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body;
• Delight in the simple joy of a long walk;
• Be loyal;
• Never pretend to be something you're not;
• If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it;
• When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently;
