Ash
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thank you to everyone for all the lovely things you have said about Ash x We have now planted the Ash tree in our garden & have hung lots of silver fish (pilchards!) all over it & on each hang of a fish we said a memory we had of Ash. It really helped us (& also looks pretty damn cool!) Ash, we will always love you & will never forget you, our lovely, brave boy x

Boots, what a star! I am sure he enjoyed the break from his little kennel mate Megan...she is so full of energy and wants him to play all the time. He is wonderful with her and doesnt seem to mind her jumping all over him or chewing his ears! He is perfect. Many thanks to Norman for taking him out for the day. Xxx

Hi Tom grey Tom is our Maisie's litter brother and I am gutted for you all. What an unusual set of circumstances. I suggest that if you have any more trouble get in touch with our Head Office who will advise you. They have a legal team behind them too. If you want to give me a ring you will find my number somewhere on our events pages. Pam Dewar

If anyone is looking for a perfect dog to offer a home to they need look no farther than Boots. He has today been helping with the Stratford Street Collection and has been an absolute gentleman in every way. He met children of all ages from 1year upwards, dogs from the very tiniest to larger versions and behaved in a calm friendly way throughout the day. He travels well in the car jumping into the boot of his own accord.He cannot live with cats but will be a wonderful addition to any other home. A really wonderful greyhound who it has been a pleasure to spend the day with.

Well it's over a year now since Toney came into our lives. He is an adorable, but mischievous lad. He and Ripple have formed such bond and they are inseparable. He is full of energy and loves to play and we can't imagine life without him.

I didn't see the negative comments so can't comment about that, but just wanted to say I agree with Caro. Orla was found as a street stray and had a big mammary tumour when she was caught. I was told by the vet that it was because she was an older bitch that hadn't been spayed. She was a very lucky girl!! As for Pyometras.....had a bitch with that and it was absolutely horrendous! That poor girl was not as lucky as Orla. It is very sad when something happens, but we all know that EVERY op is a risk. Once again, thinking of Coral's (foster) parents and all who love her ((xx)) Run free precious girl xxx

Happy Birthday to our big Sh*t, aka Pinkleberry Paddlepaws Fire Prince Haden. What is it, three years now and you are finally settling down. Phew. Sparky seems to be trying to take over your mantle of being the sod of the evening. You are a great guard dog and you are our big sh*t and we love you.

Tom
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I have taken photographs of toms injuries. I did tell the owner that he was wrong to kick our dog and he said "what did you expect"!!! He also said I couldn'the control the dog and he should be muzzled. I haven'told the police,,I was very surprised when they came round tonight as I really thought that their cat was okay bug they said he has got a puncture wound and is on a drip. As far as I know I'm the only person who saw it happen from the start and all the neighbours who came out are definitely of the opinion tom is a dangerous dog. I will have to wait and see if anything comes of it but I know what happened. If tom had attacked the cat whilst on the lead I wouldhave paid the vets bill but he was the victim although it sounds like the cat came out of it worse off.

Get statements from all who came out to help you as well this would be a good idea.

Tom
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Firstly and most importantly, how is Tom now? Surely this is 6 of one and half a dozen of the other as you've both had to visit the vets and pay for treatment following this very unfortunate incident. Instinct kicks in when you're under attack but this doesn't make Tom a dangerous dog. Sounds like the cat owner is just letting off steam and I would be firmly pointing out that he is the 'dangerous one' for kicking at your lovely boy. Rightly or wrongly, the cat owner would have felt the full force of my boot had he kicked (or attempted to kick) either of mine. Can you speak to any of the people who came running out when the incident occurred? It shakes everyone up when something like this happens. Do contact the police to report the incident and get the incident number. Tell the police that the owner kicked out at Tom. Take photos of the injuries that Tom has sustained and keep all the paperwork you have relating to his visit to the vet. You witnessed this attack but did the cats' owner? Has the cat attacked other dogs before? Please keep us informed what if anything happens. Tash x
