Had a bit of a problem updating the blog as we had no wi-fi / internet access at the hotel on Monday or Tuesday. Thought I'd update the blog on the plane instead, and then we ended up on flights with no wi-fi . as well. So just unpacked and now doing the final update.
Our last day was a real mix of emotions. As well as being sad that we were leaving, we also arrived on Monday to find that 3 dogs had passed away over the weekend, 1 had been re-homed, and 1 had found a new home.
The following 3 dogs are the ones who passed away over the weekend:

The following 3 dogs are the ones who passed away over the weekend:
This one had no name. She was a lovely dog who, due to severe neck wounds, was unable to come out for a walk yet but was making really good progress. Her neck was nearly healed and she seemed to be thriving.
She lived quite happily with Max, the Great Dane, the German Shepherd , and the Doberman. She must have had an underlying health issue that just hadn't been picked up. A very pretty dog who was also very affectionate.
This is Mummy Dog. She is the dog who had survived being euthanised previously, but she had a fit and didn't recover. She was full of beans when we took her out on Friday. As soon as she saw you approaching the compound she would start yapping away as if to say "Where have you been, I'm ready to go now !"
The poor Labrador who had been dumped last week with the horrific maggot wound. She was just too poorly to recover from her wound. . If she had been treated as soon as the wound appeared she would have made a full recovery.
Max , the great dane, and the german shepherd pictured above both have new homes. Max has only gone on a temporary basis; he is going to spend some time at a hotel run by a British lady. There is another german shepherd who is currently in quarantine at ARK, and as soon as he is released he will be swapping places with Max. The german shepherd pictured above has now gone to live with an Indian family.
How good is the Doberman starting to look ! These photos were taken just over 2 weeks apart and she is really starting to look healthier. Her coat is nearly fully grown back and she is starting to put on weight. She is a pleasure to walk and will make someone a wonderful pet. She has made new friends now the Great Dane and Shepherd have gone - she get's on well with everyone !
Out with her new friends! I am so happy as well as the tan and white dog is the one who has been here for 3 years and is so scared of people. She's finally out for a walk and enjoys being stroked !
Will out on his last 'first' walk of the day. There are 2 more dogs running free somewhere in the distance. First walk is always 4 dogs on lead and 3 running free.
New arrivals on our last day - mum and 5 very young pups which had been dumped.
Another new arrival who had also been dumped. This dog was so friendly and other than a horrible maggot infested ear, appeared to have been very well cared for. He had obviously been someone's pet, so it is just so sad that they are dumped once they become poorly.
