Little Miss K

Georgie and Ralphie are two beautiful RSPCA rescue dogs that we got when they were just pups. Now 3 and 2 years of age respectively, they were found badly mistreated and lucky to survive, to be able to provide them with a safe and loving environment was the least I could do but more because of my love for animals. Georgie came home with me after hopping into my handbag, she was then and is still today overly affectionate and demands her daily cuddles. It was her decision to choose me and so it was decided that at 8 weeks of age she was now part of the family. Ralphie on the other hand was very shy and it took some time to get him to accept us; I think he wanted to stay where he was. The RSPCA staff surely were happy for him to stay as they had grown quite an attachment to him, but after Ralphie was introduced to Georgie the deal was sealed. I don’t know if it was a romantic encounter between them or more like a bond found between a brother and sister, but Georgie and Ralphie hit it off and are now virtually inseparable. If we ever have to go to the vet, they both go along to keep one another company, it is always interesting to see how they react when one is being treated by the vet – they show real concern. The pair can however be separated by Raphie’s love of the ball, stick, knotted rope, or bone. He will often break play with Georgie to present me with any of his many play items, no matter what time of the day; it is quite hypnotic for him. There is really only one thing that can break this pattern of behaviour between the two dogs; and Raphie’s insatiable appetite for the ball – a little cat named Alphie.
