About a year ago Frances, one of our foster carers, picked up Sasha from Yass. Only a day after picking up Sash, Frances was called up to help as part of the SES for the Queensland Floods.
Frances' neice Annie was at home and helped look after Sasha. Apparently she texted Frances saying -
There's a Hippo in the House!
Sasha was 42 kilos and drastically overweight! Frances and Annie had to work hard to get the weight off. Frances is the Michelle Briggs of the canine world!
Sasha was adopted early last year by a couple who later adopted Coco. They live in South Australia and rumour has it, the girls have been water skiing! We knew she loved the water, but didn't realise how much!
Here's an update from Sash and Coco's owners.
Hi everyone at Lab Rescue, and Happy 2012!!
So sorry for our late update to you all, but I've attached a photo depicting the love affair we are having with the very special Coco and gorgeous Sasha we recently adopted!
There are no words to describe how much we love them, or how much the girls have enriched our lives.
Sasha's lost 11kgs since we brought her home in August - and now looks (and runs) like a 3 year old! Coco's skin and hair condition have both improved out of sight - she's now a shiny, delicious chocolate girl!!
The girls love to swim in the river, adore their walks, love chasing their ball, and let's not forget their food! But mostly, they love us, and would trade it all off for their 'Dad' in the picture. Even the cats have grown to love (ok, tolerate) them!!
Thanks to Linda for matching us all up so well, and to Katherine for arranging their interstate trips to get to us!
Lab Rescue is an amazing organisation, that we highly recommend and adopting Sasha and Coco is without doubt, one of Jonathon's and my best decisions ever!!
