Happy birthday my darling Fredanator! You make us laugh every day & your personality has really come out now. Looking forward to your pamper day xxx

Maybe Freda thinks she's helping save on electricity by licking the plates clean!! She is obviously finding her feet and deciding that it's fun to get into absolutely everything - bless her paws. xx

Well Freda has a new skill - she can open the dishwasher to get at dirty plates that need licking clean unless you shut the door until it clicks! This girl has so much personality, she makes us laugh x

Freda!! Seems like she needs to remember her manners a bit more! You tinker - please be good for your new Mum. x

What a little tinker! She looks so sweet and innocent in her photos! xxx

Freda doesn't feel too well tonight..... I'm sure it has nothing to do with the 2kg bag of markies she stole off the top of the bread bin at the back of the kitchen worktop when ed went out today! Yes we know it was her CIS she could hardly finish her tea. Sympathy.... No! Bless her cotton white socks x

Ah DivasMum - Freda is a real "foodie" and thinks everything edible is hers!! She was on her own while she was with us though, so it wasn't too much of a problem but I'm sure she'll improve with time. I'm glad things are otherwise going well, they're lucky girlies to have a new home with such a lovely place to walk too. x

at long last Freda has got a home which she is now sharing with the handsome Teddy and her sis Pearl...well done little girl hopefully you will help your new family get over their tragic loss of their little girl Dolly. xxxx

So Freda & Pearl have come home with us. I have never seen a dog war so fast, meal times do need supervising! Teddy is coping so far & they are playing musical beds quite happily. Just gone out with their daddy & big brothers around chasewater for a long tiring walk!

I'm absolutely delighted for you Freda my beauty - a lovely new home at last. I hope you'll all be happy together, just be as good as I know you can be. All the best to everyone. xx

well done my little girl go and have a lovely life

Freda my lovely girl - sending you good wishes for tomorrow, just remember all the things we learned and show what a beautiful girl you can be. Keeping our fingers & toes crossed that all goes well. xx

DivasMum - I'm so sorry for your loss.I really hope all goes well on Saturday and that Freda & Teddy get along because she is such a treasure and so deserves a lovely home. Keeping my fingers crossed. x

I hope that Saturday's meeting goes well and that Freda can help you and Teddy ease some of the pain of you recent loss...fingers and toes crossed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

See you Saturday sweetheart, if you are anything like my darling Dolly then I hope you & Teddy get along x

I am giving my cuddle to Freda today as she has been there so long, hoping that she finds a loving home very soon.

It's been an absolute joy & pleasure to have had Freda staying with us for a while. She's learnt so much over the past couple of weeks, is housetrained and loves nothing better than to snooze cuddled up against you. She's had brief contact with other breeds and showed no adverse reaction & is so much better at food times now. She is ready to be someone's loving companion and I really hope it happens for her very soon. Good luck my lovely girl. xx

Freda's had another busy day out visiting and getting to know the outside world. Her cheeky personality is beginning to show itself a little now - she goes into the kitchen, picks up my boot, brings it and drops it back on her bed - then goes back for the other one!! She makes no attempt to chew them, just likes them on her bed for some reason!! Still very food orientated, but getting much better. She does need you to be firm with her, but she does respond well which is lovely to see.

Thanks DuleekDandy - she is doing so well, it's lovely to see the change in her in such a short time. Here's hoping that her forever home is just around the corner, she really deserves it.

What a lucky girl to be staying with you for a bit - I'm sure it will help her enormously to find a new home.
She sounds like an absolute star.
Special xxx for Freda

So happy to report that Freda continues to go from strength to strength. We had a "mini awareness roadshow" up at Blooms Garden Centre after people spotted her sitting like a star whilst we had our morning coffee at the Patio Cafe! She met next door's yappy Northumberland Terriers this morning and the only reaction she had, when the female made a barking lunge at her, was to look suprised, step back and sit down! She is really beginning to listen and respond so well to instructions, and has been clean every night since arrival. She is shaping up to be a truly beautiful companion for some lucky person. x

Freda would like to report that she has been to a place called Blooms Garden Centre today. She would also like it to be known that she has mastered the things called "stairs" and can go up and down beautifully. She has learned to sit for her treat and although food is of huge importance, she does listen and responds well. A second quiet, clean night - this girl is an absolute treasure and thinks she quite likes this living at home thing! x

All is going really well with Freda, she was quiet and clean overnight. Eating well (with no barking!) and every time a packet rustles she's there with raised ears & expectant looks!! She must have one of the loudest sniffs I've ever heard, it's so funny to hear. So far so good, she is settling well and has developed a very waggy tail bless her.

Freda has arrived at her foster home. Travelled well in the car and has investigated absolutely everything in the house! Unsuprisingly she's a bit bemused by all the new sights & sounds, but is now chilling on her bed. x

Aimee - totally agree about the food thing, she's just letting us know that she's there and would like feeding please!!!She really is a treasure and I love walking her (I volunteer every Wednesday) as she's so gentle and walks beautifully next to you, and I agree, she wouldn't have to bark in her own home at feeding time as the circumstances would be so different. I hope someone falls in love with her very soon. x

Beautiful new pick of my old girl frieda.
Can't believe you haven't being snapped up.
Yes shanes mum, she was very vocal in the racing kennels too when it was feeding time, especially if she didn't get fed instantly and would watch others being fed. This wouldn't be an issue in a home as she would be fed first (If shes not with another grey) and wouldn't be able to see food pass her like in kennels. Don't be put off by her loud barking as once shes out and in company of people she becomes calm and a very affectionate girl.
Good luck girly

My cuddle for you today Freda, we had a lovely walk today didn't we although we got wet!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you sweetheart. xx

i agree
(Winniethepooh)

What a lovely new photo of Freda.

I can whole heartedly confirm that this beautiful girl walks like an absolute dream. She does love her food though and gets quite vocal if she thinks she is waiting too long!! Big cuddles for you Freda, and hope you find your new home soon. xx

Well what can I say about Freda,she's perfect on the lead you don't even know you've got her,when the labs were going mental she didn't even look and just carried in walking,them when the farms little dog came out and started to walk towards the gate only her half ear went up(where as some of the others went mad!) so I you want a really calm girl she would be perfect!

she is such a cutie and bright as a button :-) xxx

She has a cheeky look on her face in the first picture, she sounds like she'd bring lots of fun to her new home x

Enjoyed our walk today Freda - you were so good on your lead. My, you can certainly bounce when the food bowls arrive! - but are a good girl and I hope you get a lovely new home very soon. x

Crazy Freida! shes a lovely girl, who does need to be taught some manners as she can snatch food and be quiet bouncy, but she does learn quickly. She LOVED to race, she was a really good bitch who ran and won alot of races, so she deserves a loving forever home. Friedas very cheeky, she nicked my glove out my pocket and ripped it to pieces and then thought it was a game of "chase" when i tried getting it off her haha. She loves fuss and would stand there all day and let you give her some attention :)
Enjoy retired life crazy girl
