Since this blog first began it has dealt in the main with our experiences with KiKi and our mutual adaptations and re-learning. Now, almost two years have passed since Flash died and the journey we found ourselves on started, finding KiKi and learning something of the reality of dog euthanasia here in Ireland. Yet however special we think her to be, she is sadly just one from many. 2014 saw a small drop in the number of dogs euthanised in Ireland. Out of the 14,559 that passed through the pounds, 6,238 were saved by rescue organisations, 2,252 were reclaimed, but still 2,896 animals were destroyed.
