Aphra Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) People were interested in updates on this sad girl from West Wyalong. She turned up in the pound with her puppies, but the pound was broken into and her puppies stolen. Ilka came to us, and once she's a good condition for desexing has a home waiting for her. This is her pound shot. This is Ilka a couple of days after she came to us. Edited November 12, 2013 by Aphra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So hard to believe she's the same dog. Look at that wide smile.... life's good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphra Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 And this was Ilka yesterday. She's putting on weight and is a much happier girl. And this is Ilka playing with some older puppies we had in care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9angel Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 What a difference already. I remember seeing her on the WW thread and reading/posting about her pups being stolen. She looks so much happier and looks heaps better condition wise. And how wonderful she has a home lined up already, I am so happy for her. :) She has her whole future to look forward to now, thanks to you guys.

Loving my Oldies Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It is so wonderful to know that Ilka is well and happy. Her poor puppies - I guess we'll never know their fates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks Aphra - great work as usual!! She is beautiful and looking so happy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 She looks awesome Aphra! So happy, and she's filled out so well! We can only hope that her pups prove too soft for hunting, and end up somewhere happier, or even back at the pound. It's such a worry that they were all females though. Hate to think of them as breeding machines like their mum was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That smile on her face says it all... *grin* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntrox Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Great outcome for IIka, she so deserves it. To this day I have not stopped thinking of her pups and what happened to them, it really upset me to think that they did have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphra Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Ilka 2 weeks on. She's being desexed on Friday and when she's recovered from her surgery is going home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphra Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) And again. She's put on heaps of weight but doesn't have much muscle tone. When I took her out for a run in a big field she was like Scooby Do, legs going everywhere. I don't think she'd had much opportunity to run free in the past.

Loving my Oldies Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Ilka 2 weeks on. She's being desexed on Friday and when she's recovered from her surgery is going home. I hope you let her new homers know that she has a fan club that has to be kept fed - LOL. Totally but the stone at her feet - are they pavers or the remains of a pathway? I'm looking for pavers and like the look of whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cami Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 On the off topic I can answer that one. No pavers Tuscan topping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 On the off topic I can answer that one. No pavers Tuscan topping. Thank you. Off to Google.

Aphra Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ilka's new family collected her on Saturday. They were all ready, had even booked a session with Underdog training for that afternoon so they could make a start on her settling and training. :-) Their teenage daughter had bought a clicker so that she and Ilka could learn together. Ilka loves her new people, they emailed me to say she follow them around and doesn't like to let them out of her sight. She slept happily in her new crate the first night (crate training fosters is such a useful thing to do!) and is loving having her very own people. Ilka will be their first dog and they were super-excited at taking her home. Although she's a big dog (quite a bit bigger, ahem, since she arrived with us), she's a mellow, kind dog and a good choice for first timers I think. This is Ilka on Saturday after three weeks with us. All her old coat fell out and her new coat is steel grey and really shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
