The arrival of Jumble .

Yesterday was lovely , the sun was shining so Frank and I decided to go out for the day , we wanted to go to Messac to a boat yard that we had read about . We were having a good run in the car admiring the changing colour of the trees and the landscape when my well known map reading skills kicked in and we got lost .
We were on a busy road in the middle of nowhere when in the distance we could see something in the middle of the road not moving , at first we thought it was a dead fox cub but as we got nearer it became apparent that it was a puppy we did not know if it was alive or dead when it suddenley moved . We stopped and some of the other cars slowed down and then drove off , one white van driver made some very rude gestures and than drove over the top of the puppy befor driving off .
There were no houses anywhere near where we found him , and after a good examination he did not appear to be badly hurt apart from a bloody nose and mouth , so as predicted we brought him home , tomorrow we will take him to the vets just to make sure everything is ok .
The other dogs are a bit wary but all our animals are so good natured that I think they will settle down together .
He is named Jumble after Just Williams dog as he appears to be a bit of a jumble of several different breeds .

Someone drove right over the puppy? How dreadful. What an apology for a human being. Thank goodness he is OK and you have taken him in. JanF
