Jimbo

Puppy Adopted

Savvy

We arrived in Dalyan for 6 months on 2nd October, 2013 and soon realised that there was a lovely dog outside the Villa which we thought was a street dog.  We did a lot of alterations in the Villa for the following 3 months and every time we went to the rubbish bin which was between 5-15 times a day we would speak to the dog.  My husband Steve used to say Oy Oy Savaloy and she would just wag her tail and sometimes we would give her the occasional stroke.  
In December when our work was almost finished I joined the local Thai Chi Group which I used to cycle to twice a week.  One Friday morning it was thundering like mad and a friend rang me to say she would collect me in her car instead of me getting soaking wet on my bike.  When she dropped me off the dog was sat there in the pouring rain and I pointed her out to my friend as I was talking about her that morning.  She couldn’t believe how we could leave her out in all weathers but neither of us ever wanted a dog.  That same afternoon the sun came out and all of a sudden I heard this awful screaming and yelling so I ran out of the Villa to see what it was.  There was Savvy being mounted by about seven dogs and she was screaming and howling.  I ran outside to scare all the dogs off and she was bleeding badly, crying and chasing her tail.  It was then that I let her in the garden.
The very next day Saturday, Steve and I went straight to the Dog Rescue shop in the market square and met Colin Murphy and told him of our plight.  He very kindly gave us some dog food and said he would come to the Villa and see her as soon as he could.
The next day Sunday Colin came to see us and examined Savvy.  He said she was in season hence why all the other dogs were after her.  I explained to him that we didn’t want a dog and he would have to take her away, he did this there and then and said he would let us know how she was.
A few days later Colin came back and told us that they were going to doctor her but had to wait until she had stopped bleeding, would there be any chance that we could look after her until her stitches came out.  That is really the end of the story.  She was delivered back to us the day she had her operation and we just fell in love with her.  She is such a wonderful thing we now cannot imagine our lives without her.
Next year 2015 Steve and I have been married 40 years, we have three boys 35, 31 and 28 and never in our lives had any animal.  The boys think we have lost our marbles in our retirement, to now after 40 years end up with a dog, along with bringing one home from Turkey.  
I came home 1st April as our fourth grandchild was born 21st April but Steve and Savvy are still in Dalyan and due home 28th April.  I can’t wait to see them both and of course want to share Savvy with all our Family and Friends.
