Those of you who visited the centre when it was a physical space might remember a large dog with dreadlocks who loves having her head stroked and attended every event we had, Shula.

Well unfortunately Shula isn’t very well. She has been suffering with kidney problems for about a year and hoped with help and diet it could be controlled, well over the past week she started to go down hill rapidly so much so she ended up last night in UCD on fluids. Have no idea what the future will bring for this beautiful girl but thought it right to share with friends. She’s seriously not well.
