Last Update: Lucy Hello everybody there at YAPS! Well it is a year on Sunday 2 October 2006 that we took Lucy home from you so I thought I should send in some photos and some word of how well she is doing. If you remember .. Lucy tipped the scales at 38 kilograms .. which for a Lab is not unusual .. but diffidently too heavy .. a year later she is 10 kilograms lighter and a different dog .. she also had a terrible ear infection that required 3 operations to get fixed .. the final one meaning a new hole being drilled in her ear to allow the ear to drain .. since the last one early on in the year she has been doing great and I think we are all relieved (both for the bank account and for Lucy's sake) that it seems something is finally working for her .. Lucy is 13 this year .. so she is getting on .. Luckily for us she has the enthusiasm and bounce-back mentality of an energiser bunny .. she is a loved and sparky member of the family .. She walks twice a day everyday and loves nothing more than mealtimes .. sleeping inside with us and playing in the surf (or in her waterbucket!). All the best from Lucy .. Brooke and Mum and Dad Woofy Hi Dorothy and Yaps Staff Woofy has settled into his new home very well and is being spoilt rotten .. he and Ollie (our other dog) are getting on like old mates and love playing with their toys .. thanks for looking after him so well .. we are glad we can also help give by little Woofy a loving home and a new life without the trauma he has experienced in the past! Cheers Leanne And Colin (and Ollie)                             Woofy's story is one of the most horrific we had seen for a while .. Woofy was with us for a long time while he recovered .. letting him go was hard in a way and choosing the right family was very important .. Woofy had families from all over Australia wanting to adopt him .. but the YAPS Team wanted him in Cairns so we could see him from time to time .. Woofy choose Leanne in his own way .. and Dorothy felt Leanne had that special something that would be right for Woofy .. the photos have proved she was right. Woofy's Sad Story is on the  Cruelty Page. Rhonda Hello to everyone at YAPS from Rhonda. Here are a few photos of me at my new home. This is my new best friend Toby .. we are waiting for dinner. This is my favourite spot inside .. I need extra blankets sometimes because it is a lot colder than Cairns. I have put on a bit of weight (winter padding) but the humans said I’ll lose that in summer. This is Toby and I going to get the paper on Sunday .. I really like the ute! The chooks are fun to play with and the rooster’s feathers are now growing back nicely .. there have been a few skirmishes .. one hen is MIA and two are RIP .. but they have no proof it was me! Rhonda and Toby off on their morning walk. We have a really big back yard .. 160 acres .. and it’s great for catching mice. Say hello to everyone at YAPS but you can tell them I'm not coming back!
