Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well, one month and Rhia has definitely settled into home life! She is currently fast asleep with all four legs waving in the air. She understands all about walks, treats, playing the garden and eating cheese (her favourite). She has a slightly nutty element to her personality just like her sister Smartie and competes with her for he waggiest tale. Now that her cheeky personality is coming out, she is taking a far greater interest in the cat than she once did. Generally at mealtimes when he is amongst them waiting to be fed and then she finds it all a bit too exciting so a bit of work to be done there ;o) but otherwise I think it's safe to say she is enjoying her retirement!

Poor baby. Lets hope the antibiotics and B12 injections help. I have to regularly have B12 jabs they make me feel a bit better. Please I hope they help Ash. He is in the right place, getting lots of love & TLC. Bless you looking after him. X

It was so lovely to see this special lad again today at the kennels. My apologies to Duggie for being in a world of my own n walking past u about 5 times before i suddenly looked back n recognised u! Duggie is looking amazing, he's put some weight on n his face has filled out but that is no excuse for me ignoring u! He gave me a lovely hello n lapped up the fuss as always n seems so chilled n happy in his forever home. Thank you foggie for the amazing progress u have made with him! I promise next time u visit Duggie i will come fuss u straight away! Much love to all of u from me n my boyz. X

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Breeze has had a weekend on her own as Archive has had a very nasty tummy bug and spent the weekend in the vets, he is home now and a little better. Breeze has been quite stressed without him and of course the fireworks upset her anyway. She did sleep down stairs on her own last night so she is getting braver. She busy "nursing" now bringing him toys, blanket, even car keys. Xxx

Ash
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Ash sadly is covered in sores & scabs from falling over so much, so I have been giving him soothing wipes with Aloe Vera wipes. I also give him a gentle brush which makes him swoon, all the time telling him how beautiful he is & he stands on his wobbly legs jutting his head out, looking up, all proud x PS We are also only 10 mins by car from the main Fivelands vets in Moseley so we can take him to all his appointments with his vet & can get there quick in an emergency.

We're off to register Milo with a greys vet in Licfield, with an appt for this evening. We're sure Milo will be on his best waggy tail behaviour. Trying to contact Ruth for last dates of worming and flea treatment.

Ash
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi, this is Melysa, with Sam who is fostering Ash aka Donkey/Ox-tail!! I haven't posted yet as we wanted to wait until Sam had taken Ash to the vets today. Ruth has already posted the results from his blood test from last week & today he had an injection of antibiotics, where Sam said he cried, but was very brave. He hasn't put on anymore weight as he has a very sore throat (the vet thinks this is due to his teeth being so bad) & it is hurting him to eat, so he is only managing tiny bits. Since we have had him he has never been without us, Sam is regularly hand feeding him different foods as he's become not keen on eating from a plate & we are there to pick him up (as he constantly falls over due to being so weak) & to help him down. He also needs to be held up to go to the toilet. On the flip side - WE LOVE HIM! He is a little soldier & has the brightest spirit! He is like a little donkey, pushing in & head butting for attention! He desperately wants to be involved with his new little family & tries so hard to do what Charlie Mouse does. This morning when I opened the door they were both there to greet me tails wagging madly. I have never been so proud of Charlie Mouse, there has not been one bark or growl from him! They have formed such a bond & both come for fuss together. Charlie was visibly distraught when Sam took Ash away to the vets this morning & Ash is the same when Charlie is taken for his long walk without him (they have a tiny walk together!) Everyone who has seen Ash without his coat has cried, as he really is a very sad sight, far worse than in the pictures. But please trust us, we are doing everything we can for him & he cannot be any more loved xxx PS Wendy (Caro) we have no comment re the failed foster club & BTW Jed told me he quite liked Paddy!!
