I work at Many Tears & have worked with Delilah so many times. If I could foster right now, she without a doubt would be home with me & I’d be sooooo tempted to adopt her - she’s one of a kind!!
So instead, I wanted to break Delilah free from the rescue for the day & give her her first taste of freedom. She was an ANGEL travelling in the car, and she practically snoozed the whole way. We made a few stops, first was Pets At Home, second was the beach & lastly was McDonalds!!
At Pets At Home, she picked out her new toys & some nice treats! She met a fellow Frenchie there, and I spoke to a couple of people telling them her story - she behaved impeccably, and was soooo intrigued by all the new smells.
Next stop was the beach where we met up with another staff member & her adopted MT dog. I had Delilah on a long line & let her explore the beach front. It brought tears to my eyes seeing her run around & have so much freedom. We must’ve walked along the beach for almost 2 hours, she was trotting along the whole time soaking up the sunshine, and when we had a moment to stop, she lay down & had a sunbathe.
Before leaving we stopped at the beach cafe, where she enjoyed some doggy ice cream & well deserved cuddles after her big beach adventure. She is simply incredible, and seeing her so relaxed and content made me feel all the more guilty of having to return her to the kennel at the end of the day.
The final stop was probably Delilah’s favourite - McDonalds!!! She only had 2 plain beef patties, but my god did she enjoy them. We sat in the rescue car park munching on our McDonalds together & enjoying our last few minutes before I took her back to her kennel.
My day out with Delilah is probably my most favourite day I’ve had whilst working at Many Tears. This angel girl exudes joy like I’ve never seen from a dog. If I was able to foster right now, Delilah would never have to see a kennel ever again. She is so unbelievably special, and whoever is lucky enough to adopt this girl will have a lifetime of laughter & joy!
