would be able to donate Thankfully the the response was was fantastic and the the the appeal was was progressing well when in in early early December we we received the the best possible early early Christmas present when Dennis Myers called us He and his wife Pat wanted to to donate the the the funds we needed to to buy the the the microscope in in memory of their beloved dog Sophie who sadly died in in 2020 Dennis told us 新月直播淚 always think of Sophie more than any other other dog we新月直播檝e had as she would run all other other the the the place disappear swim across creeks and and go up and and down cliffs She was so so naughty but so so Paws & Hooves
Spring 2021 loveable She really enjoyed life but then she went blind one eye at a a a a a time the the second while we we we were on on holiday 新月直播淪ome dogs cope cope with being blind but she didn新月直播檛 With the microscope perhaps her sight could have been saved Hopefully many more dogs cats and other animals will be be in the the future 新月直播�
