February 9th: Ken was brought in, having been hit from behind by a car, his vertebrae column is seriously damaged.
Below: Tina informs us 'Ken is slowly getting better after his spinal op & has started moving his toes.
He has rehab each day but it's a long road yet. Please think of him...'
Below: Ken having his rehab. Tina said 'it was a really difficult day yesterday as we thought Ken was going to cross the rainbow bridge also but he is doing well now .... he is eating & seems happy enough with the rehab'.
Come on Ken, you can walk again, please do it................
A galgo that another charity (ACE Animal Care, Espania) has, who is called Judia, is doing remarkably well after her operation.
Here's Judia's story, taken from the ACE website. With thanks to Tine Rosenkjaer who brought this story & video to Tina's attention. It raises our spirits after losing "Little Pod" yesterday.
'This is the sad story of Judia, a poor Galgo... Her previous owner was a hunter but Judia didn't like this hunting, she only looked forward to that one day a week because she could get out of her too small cage and could take a good run. But that day turned out completely different than she had anticipated... Her owner made sure that she was completely paralyzed, we are not sure whether he tried to hang her or gave her a stroke in the neck, but anyway he has done something unforgivable! For months she stayed at the Veterinary Clinic of Cordoba where she underwent an intensive rehabilitation period, slowly her mobility came back. She still walks very difficult but it is already a huge improvement! Who wants to take the first steps into her new life with her? '
Judia is doing well, please do NOT miss this video. See Judia walk upstairs! 
The lyrics of the song compliment the video so well.
