Jen arrived at lunchtime today and seemed a very happy, friendly little girl. She's very pretty so probably won't be around for long! Xx

Such a sweet girl. When she was in the middle run when she arrived she kept standing on her back legs and popping a paw through the bars to tap us on the shoulder for more stroking! Xx

Josh
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Josh has spent Christmas and New year with us, he remains a behavioural puzzle. During Christmas we tried to reduce his Gabapentin medication however, we had to change this back to the normal levels as he regressed quite quickly. Yesterday Myself and Ruth went to Fivelands for a review. For the vet it also appears a challenge to try and understand what is happening with Josh. We are trying a behavioural med for the next couple of weeks to see if he again regresses or if he does well on these meds. If he does well, then we could rule out medical cause. Otherwise he is a loving and sensitive boy who enjoys cuddles, will tack time out if he feels he needs it. He enjoys his food and treats. We have a date with the certified clinical animal behaviourist, we shall see what they think the issue might be.

Caesar
I’m a Sponsor Dog
Is it not amazing, with the poor prognosis Caesar was given, he has just celebrated his second Christmas and New year with us? This was not expected given his prognosis but glad he is still around. Will he have a third Christmas and new year? Time will tell. He is doing well, with no sign that the tumour is impacting him negatively. I would say the opposite really. He is looking stunning. He is still a good naughty boy. I had to install a hydraulic door closing hinge as they (Caesar and Barney) kept breaking into the kitchen. The kitchen baby gate made no difference. He remains a champion scavenger, and loves his food, walks and our bed. So far he is doing brilliantly. Fingers crossed this will continue.

Kitty

Kitty is really coming out of her shell now and is playing with toys. She’ll still scoot back in her crate if things are a bit much for her but I can now close the crate door when she goes out for a wee and she’s happy to settle in one of the many other dog beds in the lounge. She no longer looks for and alternative safe place. And she’s found the doggy toy box - and almost totally emptied it. Many items have ended up in her den but the rest are littered around the lounge and she picks them up trots round with them. She will still be a ‘work in progress’ for anyone but after 3 weeks she’s definitely more confident and outgoing.

River
I’m Homed
I visited River's foster Mum on New Year's Eve. I already know River from kennels and was enthusiastically met by this lovely lad. He loves to give you a lean and tail wag. He loves playing with toys. Don't let his age (nearly 8) fool you. He is so full of life and often the older ones are more suited to some families. He does have issues with sleep startle so anyone adopting him will need to be informed of and understand what this involves but as I understand it he's more than happy to sleep outside of the bedroom. I also understand he can be left for a reasonable amount of time without any concerns. It would be lovely if this gent could find his forever home very soon. If you're interested in meeting him, give the kennels a call. As with all foster dogs who are up for adoption, they can be viewed by appointment.

Carrying on from Ruth's comment about the ride. Please stayed tuned to this feed for updates on the final video that I am currently creating to show where we went, what we did, and how we coped! (May take me a week or 2 to finalize/complete) Massive thank you to all of our sponsors, local bike donations and companies for helping us make this possible.
