I know what you mean, Ruth he just looks so forlorn... I have a soft spot for undershot jaw, pointy nose faces (he reminds me of my beautiful Droopys Grace, although she was fawn). We have four at home and one recent retiree waiting to come home otherwise I'd snap him up in a heartbeat!Surely this boy deserves some luck and a loving family to call his own... Looking forward to your friend Maggie's updates in the meantime though and not hoping at all that she becomes a member of the ever growing FFP Club 😉 Love you Woody Xx

I took Isla to her foster home yesterday and I am so pleased she is doing so well - she was not fazed at all by the cats 🙂 I have hated splitting the 5 'escaped' family but there was just no way they could have all gone together. 🙁

I have to confess, I asked my friend Maggie if she would foster this amazing, beautiful boy...... so he is going later today to Bromsgrove. I don't know what it is about him but he breaks my heart...... he really needs some weight on and a home to call his own but a foster home is all I can get him for now..... Please please someone - give this wonderful boy a forever home.....

Louis
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Poor poor Louis - he was castrated yesterday and had 6 teeth out, however the majority of his remaining teeth are not good and he will need to go back in a couple of weeks for another dental. He is very unsettled but this is so understandable - it is not the best day in a lad's life when he is castrated and teeth removed! I had tried to settle him but I think he will just feel much better soon 🙁 He is off to his foster home later - he is a beautiful boy who has lost everything - let's hope he can find a forever home very soon.......

Ash
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Melysa, so sorry - I did email you but I got back from the vets for the third time late this evening and it took me a while to sort 'the kids'..... the news on Ash is that I took him to see Christian who was quite concerned about his lack of weight. Although we had had the history come through from the previous vets for Emmy, Kylie, Isla and Louis, unfortunately there were problems getting the history for Ash. After a long wait, it came through and there was nothing of note!!!!!!!! Christian has therefore taken bloods and wants to see him again on Friday and we should have the results then and hopefully we will know a bit more. On arrival Ash weighed 25.2kg but he is now 25.7kg - after a couple of days of not eating much, he is now enjoying sausage rolls, chicken, ham, creamy cheesy mash and everything else we can tempt him with! I am so grateful for your offer of foster - I will give you a call later xxxxx

Carrie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well heres strange one , Yesterday my neighbour left me a note to say " are the girls not frightened of fireworks " ? It turns out that she came in about 6pm yesterday to give the girls a peanut butter sandwich and open the back door for them for an hour or so , about 45 minutes later , someone was having a fireworks show , so my neighbour came to make sure they dogs were Ok and lock the back door and both Carrie and Carla ,were calmly wandering around in the Garden and just ran in wagging their tails , obviously not frightened then , although in the past few weeks , I've just been waiting until they are settled and sat calmly watching fireworks shows on youtube with the volume up , seems it might have worked !!

Hi Jill Sorry, nobody told us about you fostering him, we have been talking to Kate & had messages left with Ruth, but she hasn't got back to us. We just thought she was deciding what to do after the vet visit today & I was told to wait for a phonecall from her. As long as he's in the best place for him, that's all that counts though! Melysa x

Hi Skinny Me. I thought Ash was staying with/being fostered by Ruth until they knew what was up with him at the vets, then if that goes ok he would be looking for a perm foster home? Melysa

Belle's Blog: Well it's been 10 days now since I went to my forever home, and so far, so good. I started off having to sleep in a crate at night but it didn't take long for me to convince them I was a big girl and could be trusted to sleep downstairs and have the choice of my bed or their sofa! I have met lots of nice people, who all say I'm lovely and adorable, & that seems to go down well with my mum's!! Although I haven't got many teeth, I have tried lots of new foods, & so far I like the Weetabix breakfast the best! So glad to hear that my old house mate Charlie may have found his own forever home, but what about Paddy?! He can't still be there..... Hope to see you all soon.... Belle xx
