Elvis at the Episkopi Village Tavern – 25th May 2014
Sunday evening saw around 150 people arrive to see the King! And he didn’t let us down.
The evening commenced with Eamonn welcoming everyone and thanking them for attending to help us raise some much needed funds!
Chris King as Elvis was, as usual, brilliant. He not only sounds and looks like Elvis, he has a great sense of humour which adds another dimension to the entertainment. The pictures show clearly how much everyone enjoyed his performances. Elvis mingled with everyone and had some special dedications – Julie particularly liked her song!
Elvis gave us two sets with a break in the middle for a very enjoyable buffet. We enjoyed lots of salads and vegetables, with a good choice of meat to accompany it all. For those feeling the need for something healthy there was a fruit salad for dessert. The Episkopi Village Tavern did us proud and we thank them sincerely for hosting this night for us for the second year running.

Lea in double happiness
After eight long weeks Lea went finally to her x-ray control to the vet clinic.
Do you remember? Lea have to walk eight weeks only three times daily for 15 minutes on a leash. For the foster home was it a big challenge, because Lea is full of energy and just wants to run, jump and roam about with the other pointers through the terrain. But we are all very happy because today all have been rewarded. The X-ray showed that the surgery was successful. Lea’s leg bone is grown together and the kneecap is back where it belongs.
Lea may finally start on four paws in her pain-free life . It will still take some time and training in order to build up her muscles. In eight weeks Lea must be again operated, because the plates have to be removed out her leg. But unlike the first operation, she will be back in life quickly on her four paws. After her check-up she was finally able to show all her joy of life. She ran and played with the other pointers and could hardly believe her luck.

A select and, obviously, very clever group of people honed their brains and sat ready with pens and paper on Tuesday 5th in Ayios Tychonas.
We had seven teams taking part and the evening commenced with two table top quizzes for them to get their teeth into along with hamburger, chips and salad!
The table top quiz must have been too easy because everyone did extremely well, with one team achieving 100%!
Eamonn Quinn was the quiz master, with Julie assisting. Once the meal was over we got down to business. Apart from the table top quizzes there were 6 rounds of 10 questions each. The subjects ranged from History to Music. Some very easier than others it appeared!
News of Becky from her foster home in Germany

We urgently need Kongs or other robust toys for the puppies in the shelters
Our trainer team needs toys for the rescued puppies in the shelters.
Especially Kong’s are robust, hygienic as can be easily washed/disinfected and reused in different kennels.
In the shelter are so many puppies but not very many toys and not many toys that can be used with puppies and likewise with older dogs that are safe to leave in kennels.
They can´t leave toys in the kennels with many of the dogs as there are not enough to do this safely. You need to have a high number of kong toys to leave in any one kennel to avoid any guarding/squabbling over toys.
Puppies should not to live in a shelter. But we want to make them as comfortable as possible.
If you want to donate a Kong or more, then please contact us via email: Info.Cydra@gmail.com
Thank you very much,
your CyDRA – Team

Is it pointless to have a Pointer?
It all started innocently enough and started with a parade in a small house with a huge garden.
The man was fully employed and often away on business with the rest of the family often at home alone in the house with a lovely big garden. The desire for a companion was getting stronger!
The thoughts about which type of dog should it be and would that dog come from began. As the family already had a lovely Cyprus dog, it should of course be another one.
And so Martha was coming a short time later. Martha was born in 2011. She is a white and black Pointer bitch who was found half-starved in Cyprus. She was only a shadow, but would recover in a foster home there. Martha is just loving, very gentle and would not hurt a fly.
As the plane landed with Martha, the family had no idea that in a few minutes they would fall in love with Pointer number two.

News from Lea
The surgery was four weeks ago and Lea´s leg looks good.
In the meantime was a vet check and the threads have been pulled. Lea puts her leg on. Now you can already see clearly that the leg builds up muscles.
Lea is doing very well. For her foster home sometimes too good, because she is a power pack and wants to start running.
Unfortunately, as before, she may only walk three times a day for 15 minutes outside. Lea loves intelligence games and toys.
