Hello everyone, I wish to thank-you all very much indeed for helping Alfie, as Rainbow are going to cover the costs of his palliative care, his medicine he needs from the vets to keep pain-free and be happy in his old age for as long as he can.

Alfie, elderly Gordon Setter, came to us in foster in January from SPA Limoges. He loves life here, not distressed at all from the day he arrived he was "stress free", he loves all his friends and he truly is my "Soul Setter", he came into my life and walked right into my soul.

Sadly, beyond sadly, Alfie has always been a bit poorly as his digestive system doesn't function properly. But then a tumour appeared very quickly on his mouth, his gum, urgent vet visits and tests show a large fast growing tumour, inoperable and cancerous.

So now all we can do is palliative care, and this wonderful association, all of you, are helping him again now by paying for his medicine and vet checks, so that he can stay a happy boy for as long as he can do with us here. We adore Alfie, he truly is a sweet soul, he loves to give me a "paw wack" for a treat and a cuddle, I often curl up with him to have some wonderful "Setter-Snuggle-Time".

The meds the vet has him on now are helping indeed, for now he is pain-free and that tail is wagging again. The tumour is growing and the vet checks are important to be sure it does not interfere with his eating, so far it is not he loves his food.

My HUGE thanks again to all here and to Rainbow for supporting Alfie now, for the "love of Alfie", so I can continue to give him a wonderful loving time in this latter stage of his life I know he would give you all a "big paw hug". xx
