Irish Dog Mylo

I received this lovely email today so i thought I would share it with everyone.
Its lovely to hear about the dogs we home and make us all feel as if we do a reasonable job. :)

Dear glenys
I have not looked at your site for some months, it looks fantastic.
I looked at the irish labs page, and thought i would drop you a long overdue line!!
We re-homed a fabulous yellow lab about 3 and a half years ago, from letterkenny. He was known as shilo, quite a celebrity name now according to brad and angelina!. We called him mylo, short for my lovely we decided.
He had been in one of the pounds and savaged by all kinds of frightened and vicious dogs there, i took him home because i just couldn't go home without him! He was full of cuts and stitched wounds but still smiling.
He has a wonderful life, walked and spoiled rotten. We have had a baby who loves him and he is so gentle with her, he is so much a part of our family.
Considering he had no idea what the door bell was, or what we were actually doing at the dinner table! (he knows now!!)
he is a truly lucky mut, thank goodness you got him and and gave us the chance to give him the life he deserved.
Keep up the tremendous work you all do.
love samantha boardman and of course mylo xx

Lovely update on Milo, must be so rewarding and make all your hard work and heartache a little bearer to deal with. I really take my hat off to you Glenys as it does take a special person to be able to continually pick themselves up and soldier on regardless even though you know that each day, week and month things will be the same......the dogs will keep rolling in

The other Milo you have does look a smashing lad, he is a beautiful colour. Hope he finds his forever home soon.
