A very Happy Birthday to Miss Moose. Hoping you have a lovely day. Cooper thinks chicken casserole sounds like a plan. Love from us all, especially your brother Cooper. Xxx

Minnie sends big birthday woofs to her brother and hopes he has a lovely day, and a special birthday dinner later (she is hoping for chicken casserole - paws crossed!). Xx

Happy 5th Birthday to our gorgeous Minnie Moose! Can’t believe it’s been nearly 8 months since she came home - she is still living life at 100 miles an hour, wanting to be everywhere and do everything all at the same time!!! She really benefitted from her training classes, as did Michael and I, and she is such a clever little Miss - she delights in playing games, a particular favourite is the “toast game” we play after our morning walk ( we all like a bit of toast!). Her reactivity is still a work in progress but we’re getting there, and she is much more relaxed around strangers now - time, patience and TLC work wonders for these beautiful creatures and they are worth it. Xxx

Yet another bitterly cold day, many thanks to everyone who braved the cold and made sure that the inmates had both morning and afternoon walks. Thanks to Dave for having another tidy up. The sand run was very busy despite the cold. We had a viewing booked to find the very handsome Ronnie a friend. The lovely family were initially interested in Amelia, Ronnie had other ideas so Bobbie was reserved and has gone out on trial, fingers crossed all goes well. Timmy came in for food and nail cutting, we were warned that he could be a big baby, not at all, he was very brave and well behaved. Rob T came to shoot some more footage and take photos for his YouTube site. Today was the turn of lovely River, he will be back to get more footage over the next couple of weeks. For those who have not seen the video of Rocky, click on his page on our website and follow the link, it's really good. Thankfully it looks like it is going get a little warmer, I for one hope it is!!

What a lovely video. And absolutely, no dry eyes here! Miss my boy beyond belief, taken too soon from me. The world isn't the same without him. Hoping one day he'll send me another grey to help fill the void he left, but as my mom always says 'there'll never be another jet' and there won't but hopefully the one he sends will be almost as good! Xxx

Jen

Today I left Jen - twice. The first time I went shopping and was gone about an hour. She was left with the rest of the gang, the back door open and John playing trains in the garage. Doggy spy cam showed her relaxed and snoozing in one of the dog beds in the lounge. The second time I took the rest of the gang out for a walk ( apart from almost 15 year old Georgie) - because Jen had been invited out in her own play date. Again, the back door was open and John in his train shack but this time doggy spy cam showed some pacing and barking but also some chilling and quiet. This time I was about 40 mins. So I think she can learn to be left for longer periods. Later I took Jen out to meet a friend and her 12 year old collie. Jen met lots of other dog breeds as we walked round the country park. She was a bit excited by 2 small, barky dogs and clearly surprised by a sheltie (what a hair do!). She met some children (aged about 5-6) and wagged and enjoyed fuss from them. She waited nicely while my friend and I drank a cuppa at the cafe and looked at yet more different dogs walking past us.
