Fantastic news! So very pleased to hear she is doing so well; the last few months must have been very hard for you all. Thank you for making my day! Kind regards xxx

Quick update on Perdi : Other than being a little knobbly in the right shoulder and occasionally walking with a bit of goose-step, Perdi is practically back to normal! We walk together every day and she can do up to 45 mins with no ill effects; the vet is astounded by her and is encouring us to walk her further each week to build her muscles ready for her knee op (if it's still needed). She's so happy and bouncy and I'm sure it's her happy disposition that pulled her through xxx

Hi How is Perdi doing i hope she is on the mend.x

She is such a brave girl; it's great to hear despite everything she is going through, she can still wag her tail to tell you she loves you and knows how lucky she is to have such a wonderful home. I do hope it won't be long before she is fit and well again. Sending her my cuddle today! xxx

Perdi has had a rocky road and been back in hospital again, but she's now been home a week and is walking! ok, she's a bit wobbly and we are having to be really careful with her, but she's being amazing, wagging her tail madly and clearly very happy. I'm hopeful that she'll make a good recovery and that we'll all be able to walk together again soon x thanks for all your well-wishes x x

How is your lovely Perdi doing? xxx

I hope Perdi is feeling better today what an ordeal you have all been through.I am keeping everything crossed in the hope she will soon be on the mend and be her old self.

Big hugs Perdi, take it easy lovely lady and with all the love from your mum and dad and bestest brother you'll be better soon. xx

Well, less than 24 hours after returning from the vets un-x-rayed as the machine had broken, part of Perdi's shoulder blade cut through the skin and was protruding, we dressed it securely and took her to the vets for opening time. She has had a second op, this time to remove some of the bone and round off the remaining bone and she is back home recovering. She seems much more comfy now and we are really hoping that she now finally starts to improve...it's been a terrible nightmare. Paddy has been a total star. xx

Hi all, Didn't have a PC when Perdi had her original injury - so sorry to hear she's been so poolie! They really do make you worry don't they. :-( Big hugs from me, Craig and Roxy. I'm sure she's getting lots of love from home. Hope Paddy is being gentle. xxx

Really sorry to hear Perdi is not so good today. I hope all goes well when she sees the vet. Sending her lots of hugs. xxxx

Poor Perdi is bsck to the vets today, days of TLC have not managed to prevent her from disrupting the site of her op. The vet thinks something has happened to the plates, so today she is being x-rayed again.The incident has also caused a hole in her skin, from which post-op fluid has been draining for over a week now...thank goodness for those cotton Pyjamas I made for the dogs, they are helping to soak it all up and keep Perdi from licking at it! xx

Great to hear she is getting on ok, hope she continues to improve. I am sure she is loving being spoilt rotten! xx

So pleased to hear that Perdi is on the mend.Sounds like she is getting a lot of TLC and enjoying the extra treats.
It must be a relief to you all that she is doing so well.

She's improving each day, but not yet putting any weight on her front right leg. The vet is pleased with her progress, considering the extent of her injuries, and she has been allowed to take over the conservatory sofa (a previously denied luxury!), we are just so pleased to still have our little spotty girl, she is getting away with muder and only gets kisses as reprimand! :-) x

How is Perdi doing? xx

Perdi is home, our brave little girl :-)
Paddy and Darcy were so pleased to see her and there was a lovely little reunion, before we separated them for Perdi's safety :-) although they were all really gentle. it will take a good few months for her to be back to anything like normal, but she will be spoiled rotten and will have her next op in a couple of weeks xx

How brave you all are - we all send our heartfelt love to you Alison, Jill, Jack and Sky.

Really good news Perdi was well enough for the operation and it went well. What an ordeal for you all. I am sure she will be very happy to be able to come home soon for lots of TLC xxx

Perdi had her operation on Friday and is starting to improve :-) her shoulder blade was in 6 pieces and the vet has managed to put the 3 main pieces together with plates. She is less swollen, being really brave and trying to get around on 3 legs :-) she should be home on Saturday, Thank you all for your kind wishes xxx

I hope all is well with Perdi and the rest of her family .

Sending lots of love to you all and I am keeping everything crossed for your baby girl xxx

So sorry to hear about Perdi's accident. Poor little girl, I do hope she will be able to have the operation on her shoulder today; so she can start to get better. Please let us know how she is getting on. xx
On a happier note, contratulations to you both on getting married! Kind regards. x

Oh my goodness, how awful :0( I have got everything crossed for your brave little soldier, and I just hope and pray she mends well and is not in too much pain and discomfort in the meantime xxx

I'm sorry to report that our little girl had a terribel accident on the last day of our honeymoon in Devon and is currently being treated at a specialist vets. We decided we wanted Paddy and Perdi with us on honeymoon and went to a fabulous dog-friendly complex of holiday cottages with loads of open space and an 8 acre woodland. The dogs had an amazing time and were full of beans on the last day, we thought we'd take them for one last run around the woods before going home and something happened to Perdi...we don't know what. After 5 days of treatments and nursing both at vets and at home, we now know she has a shattered shoulder blade and two partially ruptured ligaments on her knee, all on her right hand side, two big wounds and lots of blood loss have meant she's been very poorly and we've been desperately worried. Today I can report better news: her blood count is back within a normal range (helped by mummy's tempting treats of salami, cheese and peanut butter sandwiches and little meals loaded with sardines) and her liver enzimes are better too, we agreed to hospitalise her on wednesday so she could have better pain-relief. I've spoken to the vets (for the hundredth time) this morning and they are re x-raying her chest today (she has a pnuemothorax?) and if the air in her chest is at an ok level and she can tolerate it they will attemopt to reconstruct her shoulder today. She is such a brave girl and we are so proud of her...will keep you posted - Becky, Stef, Paddy and Mr Darcy

A little girl saw Perdi on a walk the other day and said "oh look mummy, a dalmation!" bless x

It's Perdi's birthday today! 4 today :-) happy birthday poppet xx love mummy and daddy, Paddy and Mr Darcy xx

Just been for a snowy walk and let them off the lead for the first time!!! wow, so fast! Paddy ran off at 40mph and we found him sat on a stranger's doorstep! they then decided to hunt down a labrador...luckily they were muzzled and Stef used his seriously cross daddy voice to break it up. After that, they were pretty good :-) came back for the liver and a fuss x we also used a whistle and a squeeky toy to distract/get attention, so all in all, pretty pleased :-) x

Poor Perdi, today has been a bit nerve-wracking for her, but she's been lying with Paddy, on his bed, since we got home...long doggy legs entwined...sweet! Her personality is now properly showing; she's a bit more grumpy with other dogs than Paddy and if there's ever a cross word between the two of them, it seems to be Perdi...but she genuinely loves Paddy really and spends most of her (non-sleeping)time standing neatly under his tummy, just like the picture! Mr Darcy gave her a kiss right on her nose tonight, much to her (and our) surprise! x

Perdi and Paddy are off to the vets on Friday for boosters and teeth-checks...lots of chewy sticks have improved Paddy's gnashers so fingers crossed x no further cat-chasing incidents (touch wood), so all is well in the Powell household :-) x

Perdi is very pleased with herself, she's gained a little weight and a lot of confidence; we've started treating Paddy as 'top dog' (below us and Darcy of course) so she doesn't get too big for her boots. She's now tried to chase Darcy twice, little madam, so is under strict supervision! Planning on popping to the kennels tomorrow for a couple of bags of food... xx

Perdi just wants to say thankyou to Daybreaks for her lovely new boyfriend; she loves Paddy and they even ended up eating out of the same bowl tonight! xx Becky x

Just a quick update...Perdi is being fab, her and Darcy are now getting on just fine, still a few nerves, but we feel so much more relaxed x what a poppet x x

Perdi is missing her friend today...she slept well last night and is subdued but ok. She also came face to face with Mr Darcy today without incident :-) We've just come back from a lovely walk by the river meeting other dogs, children and bicycles and she was a very good girl x We'll come and see you all next weekend xx

Perdi can't believe how tired she is and wonders why Clara doesn't rest more! Influence of Clara on Perdi is not all good, Perdi has also taken to stealing and the pair of them have just had a good bark at another dog in the park! Other than that, she's very happy xx

Perdi is shattered thanks to her new doggy foster sister! Clara is good for her, yesterday she even played in the garden with a ball on a rope. Her tail is out, her head is up and there's no howling at night. Her stitch wound is being bathed and she's taken her antibiotics well. She's just a v tired baby xx

Perdi (Nicky) is slowly but surely coming out of her shell and it's great to see her tail wagging as we return home and on walks. After a couple of nights of howling (thankfully we are detached) she was a lot better last night and fingers crossed she seems to be settling down. Getting on well with MR Darcy (The cat) and just about to go on a thursday morning walk...

Perdi (Nicky) had a good first night, she's very nervous and timid, but is doing really well and you can see her confidence growing all the time x 'Perdi' is latin for 'lost one' x

Coming to get you on Friday - Yay! xx

Looking forward to bringing you home at the weekend :-) hang in there girl, a fluffy duvet awaits you and we know Jill, Ruth and the others will be giving you cuddles til then x

Home-check tomorrow and you'll soon be able to come and see your forever home. Sending virtual cuddles til you can be here and have them for real x x x x

Sooo pleased Nicky passed the cat test, and really excited about meeting her tomorrow :-) xx

Hope Nicky is settling in ok today...and that she'll be cat friendly!:-)

what a beautful girl Im sure she wont be around long

ohhh look at you....I darent come near Daybreaks for a while..too much like a special boy i once knew..xxxxx Good luck in finding a home beautiful xxxx
