A quick update on Josh, myself and Ruth visited the vets today. We explained what has been going on with Josh. I also showed him videos of his behaviour. The vet did his examination, it was funny as Josh seemed to enjoy the manipulations. Then a proprioception test was carried out (curling of his paw and see how quick he places his paw back on the floor). There seems to be a deficit in his re-action. Josh is now booked in for an X-Ray this Monday.

It is 6 years since I decided to come and live with mom and TC. In that time I have lived with 3 cats, then 2, then 1, then back to 2, then 1, back to 2 and now 3 (those we lost passed from old age and illness) Sydney the youngest thinks he’s a dog like me! I’ve moved house from the city to the country by the sea. I’ve been a Pets as Therapy dog and made lots of friends. I think I’m also responsible for Uncle Ian, Auntie Deborah and Samantha getting Barney, Russ and now Monty. My 2 best friends live over the road and I see then nearly every day. It’s the BEST decision I ever made. Lubs you all. Florence xxxx

As always thanks to everyone for their help today. Ruth delivered the handsome Zavi, now Archie to his new home. Hoping everything goes well for this lovely boy. X Mena and Dolly had a visit from their new Mom, little Mena is slowly growing in confidence each day, I even got a kiss from her. I called Tommy's family for an update this afternoon, he is doing really well, has mastered the stairs and has settled fantastically. We should hopefully have some new arrivals next week, so keep a lookout on the website to see who we get!

It is going to be a very emotional day. Not only a family saying goodbye to their Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Aunt and Friend but we as a nation pay our respects to Queen Elizabeth II who dedicated her life to serve us. As Jo mentioned in her update yesterday, the kennels are open as the greys still need us but we would ask if possible allow us to grieve with the Nation. After my emotional visit to London, I’ve truly realised we are witnessing a great moment in history. Rest in Peace Ma’am.

Today we saw the very handsome Tommy go home, hoping all goes well for him and his family. Thanks to Denise for opening up this morning and to everyone for their help. Becky also went out to see how she would settle into a home life, good luck sweetie. It went mad at some times during the day with people waiting for nail cutting and sand run. Lois one of our D of E volunteers finished today, wishing her all the very best for whatever she decides to do, she has said that when time permits she will come back and volunteer, she will be most welcome. It's been a couple of strange days, I will be back in on Wednesday. The Kennels will be operating a limited service tomorrow in honour of the very sad passing of Her Majesty the Queen. If you need to call please try and call in the afternoon after 1.30 to enable people covering the Kennels to watch the funeral service. Many thanks for your understanding in advance, our residents will still need to be fed and have their rooms cleaned!

URGENT APPEAL...... Do you have any old/unwanted duvets or pillows (not feather) that you could spare and donate to the kennels. Our supplies are rather depleted, the residents would be most grateful. Please give us a call and arrange a time to drop any off. Many thanks.

I was covering the Kennels today as Kate is on annual leave and Ruth was off to London to pay her respects to Her Majesty the Queen. Thanks to Angie for opening up, Dave Maisie Chase a d everyone who came in and volunteered. We saw the gorgeous Tommy reserved, such fantastic news, hoping things go well for him. Well I must remember that today is Saturday and I still need to get up and do my normal Sunday shift, it was strange going home and seeing shops open not like a Sunday when I am going home and everything is closed!!
