Kylie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi, so nice to hear how Kylie is doing. Emmy sends her best wishes, she is now 12 years old but you wouldn't think it. She likes her fuss too and is always first in line for food or treats, though she has to wait her turn. I think like Kylie she is used to sharing a bed, irrespective of whether my other 2 want to or not. She has been known to wait until one of them decides to turn around and will promptly jump in leaving no space for the other to lie down! They give me such a bemused look as much to say " how did that happen".

Kylie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi all. Just thought I'd give an update on Kylie. She's been with us for just over 6 months now since going to Daybreaks as one of the 'Famous Five' last November. I'm so glad we were able to give this girl a safe place to stay, and later, a forever home. She is such a cuddly girl and so lively. When walks are due, she and Lucy (7) usually coming running and Ben eventually joins them. Kylie loves her walks and has plenty of energy for them. To be honest, some days, she seems to be constantly on the go. This little lady is full of beans and often bounces and barks at Ben and Lucy to play chase and has even been known to try the same approach on myself and Andy too! This evening, she leapt over the top of the sofa arm for her walk rather than stepping off the seat to the floor. Her nails aren't brilliant but don't cause her much bother and her mouth is much better than when she came to us - there are no immediate plans for any dentals. When she does decide to calm down, she loves curling up in an armchair or sprawling all over the sofa - amazing how a smallish girl can stretch! She also has an amusing habit of sitting exactly where she is when told to sit down and drops in one flop into 'sphinx' pose with her ears right up. She eats her dog food no problem as long as there's no distractions and we're getting her used to going out in the car and NOT ending up at a kennels ('to be left') or the vets. A couple of weeks ago, she went to meet Andy's parents in Wales and proudly presented herself first to his dad and then his mom and then helpfully stood where they could both fuss her (and insisted that they did!). She's more needy than Lucy and Ben but mostly because she just loves attention. She also insists that Ben and Lucy share the sofa with her whenever possible (when they're on there first) and has even got Ben and Lucy sharing from time to time, which never used to happen before. In a couple of months, she will be 10 and I can't believe that's the case. I'm only thankful we didn't have her as a younger dog as I don't think we'd have kept up! An oldie, maybe, but certainly a goodie. I hope her former housemates Louis, Ash, Isla and Emmie are doing well too... J

Kin
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Kin is my Flo's half brother (same Dad) and they look so much alike, if I could have another I'd be round for him in shot. Apparently she was a bit shouty in the kennels but I've had no issues with her whatsoever. Even if Kin is only a tiny bit like Flo he'll make a fantastic pet and make his new family really happy 🙂

Kin
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Kin is no longer the grumpy boy he used to be, I have never met a dog so loving and so eager to please than him, no one would believe me if I said he has been playing with all 3 of my dogs, shares beds, eats next to others and all with NO grumbles what so ever, he has totally changed, I can not keep him and MUST get him a forever home asap, i can not let him down, it is my task to get him his forever sofa, he just wants to be with you all the time but can be left with no trouble at all, he does not make a sound and greets you with so much love and waggy tails when you come in,

Thanks for phoning yesterday lewisfuggie it was a really useful chat. He hasn't marked again since yesterday morning so I think -fingers crossed - it was a bit of stress. He's such a lovely boy. Gives me super cuddles, especially in the morning when we get up 🙂

Holly
I’m Homed
Just a quick update, can't believe we've had holly for so long already! She's definitely come out of her she'll since leaving the kennels!, she is so nosy and into everything and anything that is within reach of her nose. She walks nicely on her lead, apart from when we see squirrels or ducks or anything remotely chase-able but she soon loses interest in them! She is still a bit unsettled at night, sometimes she will settle off straight to sleep sometimes she will howl and bark the place down! She does get anxious when I go upstairs, it's amazing how quick I can shower/dry hair and change clothes now lol! She loves going away at weekends to our caravan. All on all she is still a work in progress but doing well!

If you can take him out more often and of course praise him loads these help. Is he the only dog in the house or do you have others?
