Рецепт Recipe For Carrot Soup
For the past 4 years I have wanted to get another Boxer, but with all the things that have been happening in our lives, the time has never seemed right. I also want to adopt a Boxer as I believe in giving a loving home to a needy dog. We have two Boxer rescue sites on Facebook, one for South Africa and the other for the Western Cape. These are run by different people and just before we went overseas there was a 9 week old puppy looking for a home. I would have taken the dog without a second thought had we not been going away the following day. Then, our friends’ dog fell pregnant and as I was loathe to be offered one of the puppies, I decided to contact the South African Boxer Rescue Organisation to see if I could complete the adoption application forms on the off chance a puppy would become available. Linda told me to please send her the forms, and I just left it in my draft folder, not willing to commit myself to taking on another dog. A few Thursday nights’ ago, Linda sent me a photograph of the cutest Boxer I have seen for a long time. He was about to turn one, and his owner wanted to rehome him as the complex they had moved into did not have a yard big enough for the dog. Dave has been reluctant to say the least about getting another dog as 3 is a lot and 4 would push us over the top. But, he said if I wanted to get him, I could. (got to love the man). And so the next morning I sent Linda the forms and there started the saga! The owner had the following conditions for his adoption:
1. He must not be neutered
2. He must be bred
3. The new home must have a female Boxer
4. He cannot be homed with other breeds
5. He cannot be sent out of Gauteng
I have a friend who meets all of these requirements and who would be willing to take Milo and then send him to us. But Boxer Rescue will not be a part of this as they insist on the Boxer being neutered before he is rehomed. All we want to do is offer a loving home to a dog, and the owners’ conditions are totally unrealistic and represent cruelty to me in the softest degree. Not wanting to dwell too much on this I turned to my kitchen for solace. And carrot soup offered just that. I julienned the carrots using the new drums for my Kitchen Aid and added drops of tarragon oil to the soup before ‘drowning’ myself in a bowl.
