Ash
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Lovely to read an update on Ash. His little 'sister' Kylie will be 10 in a few weeks. I'm sure she'd send him lots of licks and snuggles. Ash is definitely a trooper! Well done to you all and good to know he's so cared for. All the best to all of you from all of us x

Willow has been with us for 9 months already and she seems to feel 'at home' now. She prefers company but copes well being left for a few hours. I have the most perfect neighbours who toilet her and listen out for her whilst I am at work so I worry far less these days. They really are the best. Willow shares our bedroom, sleeping in a corner of the room on a bed that would suit the Princess from ' The Princess and the Pea'. She is very content there! She eats well, walks well on the lead, loves people and all sizes of dogs, has fabulous recall in the absence of rabbits and squirrels and is an utter joy. We have adopted a little bit of Heaven and although we will never forget the wonderful Iris, we have grown to love this dog. Last Monday she was assessed to see if she is suitable as a Pets as Therapy dog and I will let you all know if she is successful when I find out. I think she will be very good as she has shown her people skills at a couple of roadshows and of course Crufts. She really is a lovely, lovely dog, who has her moments - digging in the garden, raking the carpet on the landing and telling me the time... Breakfast time, dinner time, walkies time! Ha ha We are glad we adopted our black beauty, although it did take time for things to drop into place. It's been worth the time and commitment as Willow gives it all back in spades! Best wishes to you all. The Smiths

Love this handsome boy! He can be a bit vocal at times, but it is his way of trying to tell you that he wants to be out of the kennels and off on an adveture with you somewhere exciting, then having a long snooze and cuddle afterwards! He has the most amazing intelligent eyes, and I think he will be a quick learner. Fingers crossed he's on his way to his own sofa very soon now. Big cuddles gorgeous. xx

Ahh, thank you for saying that, but all the credit should really go to Sam. Although I pushed to have Ash, it's Sam who cooks all his steak & pork chops (I can't cook!) & now takes him out on walks & holds him up (he had become too heavy for me to take his weight) & it's Sam who gets up to him in the night. The two have formed quite the bond (although, I love it when Ash runs to me & wipes his snotty face all over me when I come in from work!) Actually, on here I would like to send Sam lots of love & thanks for letting us have Ash & for taking care of him. You are a star & he loves you so much x

Definite progress. Benny is now coming to me for some fuss. His eyes are less sad. We are off to the vets on Tuesday to have his stitches checked. He is such a gentle, lovely lad.

A big thank you to Ode and Norman for helping Lilah 'jump out the boot' yesterday at the 'Pets at Home' Stratford road show. On arrival, Lilah was reluctant to leave the car, but once Norman brought Ode to meet her, she jumped straight out and trottted along nicely behind him to the venue and settled down well. This boy is beautiful; gorgeous looking and nice-natured too. Thank you Ode; you are a star. x

This blunderbuss is still a great big idiot! Currently in training for his silver & trying not to stamp all over Ash when running around like a loon! He will be doing The Great Greyhound Walk in Stratford next week & will be at the Daybreaks Birthday Party & the Dogs Day Out In The Country. He says to Pam Dewer - I have had my crystal bowl prize from last year engraved & am rehearsing my presenting speech to hand it over this year & PS Come over for that piece of cake!! He also sends big love to Kate & wishes Sam hadn't left him behind yesterday when he came up to Daybreaks to get some Burns!!
