Belle
Over the Rainbow Bridge
For anyone who hasn't seen the FB updates, Belle is flourishing. Yes she is fussy over her food and running off any weight we get on her but boy does she love people. Doesn't matter that she has never met them, straight to them. jumps up, kiss kiss kiss. She loves attention. She is very quickly becoming the most popular as she is first in line for cuddles from anyone! She is still unfit compared to the others but now she is allowed in the big garden most of the day she will get better and stop puffing like Thomas the Tank Engine. She is still Mrs Nosey Parker, into everything. A bloody delightful dog and so pretty. Still suffers from separation anxiety but that will come in time but now clean in the house. Loves to like on her back at night pointing her toes so she is also known as Ballerina Belle!

Rosie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Rosie, it's only 3 more sleeps before we come to pick you up on Sunday. Big Uncle John has fixed the trellis in the garden to make it secure for you and me & 'Dad' have bought you a couple of fleece blankets, a double quilt & acquired a slightly older single, along with a dual bowl high standing feeder. We're so excited to be seeing you again in a few days and it's great news that your 'neighbours' Champ & Nina have both now been reserved. I'm just popping out again to have another look at a big cushion bed for your arrival and the car was cleaned and hoovered yesterday in readiness for our first journey together. Lots of love and cuddles, 'Mom'. ps… I've given my 'cuddle' to Liam (your other 'neighbour) today but you'll get plenty from Sunday onwards. xx

I brought Lily home last night as she is being speyed today. She is absolutely no trouble whatsoever. She loved watching the TV and spent most of the night either watching it or flat out sleeping! What a life! She has had a very quiet settled night and toileted outside this morning...... she reminds me so much of our lovely Max - she is just a mini version! She is adorable!

Boo

Hi tinkers nan boo belle has been given a big kiss, this beautiful girl is now coming to me for fuss and watching her play in the garden yesyerday with the girls was amazing. Although boo is small she can eat and eat she loves treats snuggling in the basket on a bed and she has been waking us in the mornings when she plays with toys. Its so heart warming to see her wagging her tail,I love her big beautiful brown eyes and the cute spots on her paws- boo is very special and its wonderful watching her personality coming out and seeing her gain in confidence

Hi John/Jenny, you have some great advice there that I could only echo. We adopted Belle in Dec who would hardly leave her bed, was unsure of her coat, was scared of doorways and hated the car. It's taken time and small steps but now she comes to us for a fuss, runs at her coat and puts her head straight in, races through doorways and jumps in the back of car. (Most of the time). The training classes really helped us. See the left of the website. The first class Belle was so nervous she hardly moved but now she does great recalls and her tail goes mad when she knows it is training time. It's helped our relationship and she trusts me more. We also learnt about games we play of a evening where she looks for treats under plastic beakers. It really helped her confidence to the point she was on the stand at Crufts the weekend. I'd really recommend the training I have learnt so much which helps my greys. I love dogs like this it is so rewarding every little breakthrough melts my heart. She sounds amazing and is lucky to have such a caring family.

Hi John and Jenny, a week is such a teeny weeny amount of time. Caro and Sam are so right....let angie meet the world in her own way and in her own time. It's a scary place. Her chum will help to show her the way but she has to ease herself into her new lovely life in her own way. Daisydog still heads for her basket when she spies strangers (which is still really anyone but me!) in the house. Important I think not to disturb her in her basket. Its should be like her own panic room - no one can get in and she chooses when to come out. Daisydog used a thundershirt for several months and some ttouch therapy - ask auntie ruth - which really helped too. Hugs from the seaside. xx

Hello John/Jenny, I have had Jed since 23rd Dec 2013 and he still likes his 'safe zone' namely his bed and is only now gradually coming into the lounge to say 'hello' of an evening, although noises on the TV will often see him scuttling back or in the case of Crufts the opposite welded to the TV - i've not pressed him and he's doing it in his own time, so don't worry it will come.

Hi John/Jenny, it just takes time and love. Robbie is very similar and is very scared of everything that's not natural, he loves being in the park but on the street he tries to walk into the road to avoid postboxes or anything. We are just working with him and showing him we are here and giving him loads of praise. Anyone who saw us Sunday morning would think we were daft we made such a fuss of him when he sniffed a grit bin. Sam
