Pippa
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thank you for your kind words. I am absolutely heartbroken at the loss of my wonderful Pippa, I loved her so very, very much. Yesterday I collected her ashes and have drawn comfort from having her back home with me. She made me laugh at the end, when even with a broken neck she managed to lift her head and prick up her ears in response to my rustling to get her cheese sandwiches. After eating every last morsel she wolfed down a tin of pilchards and then tried to lick the crumbs from her pillow - my gorgeous greedy girl!! I 've a last memory of her before she fell, running so fast with a big smile on her face. Rest in peace my darling beautiful Pippa - Mummy loves you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jed
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I meet the handsome Jed today, and what a beauty he is. Such a calm boy, he wasn't interested at all in the barking Labs at the farm this afternoon, just raised an ear on the way past. He trots along at your side just like a horse and is such a sweet boy. Fingers crossed for you gorgeous. xx

Reuben
I’m Homed
Just a quick update on Reuben before we go to Padstow - Joe has worked hard with him and Badger and she has thankfully now given up the hate campaign. She still makes sure he isn't getting any preferential treatment, but they seem fine together. So we now have the job of getting us, 4 dogs, luggage and Christmas presents down the M5. I have given Reuben Joey's old collar so he looks a smart boy for his holiday. I hope everybody has a lovely time tonight, Sunday and all over Christmas xx

Bobby (Pumpkin)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Me and my husband had the pleasure of chatting to Bobby's owners late last Saturday afternoon at Daybreaks. I could clearly tell the devotion and commitment they not only gave to Bobby but to all their other dogs. They stick with their dogs through better and worse and I have the greatest respect for this couple. I feel so sad for them, but they should find comfort in knowing what a fab home they gave to Bobby in his twilight years and that we are all thinking of them. Bless you. I have to give Bobby my cuddle today.xx

Jessie

Jessie is finally up and moving around now and I managed to get her to eat a small amount of cheese last night. She is quiet all night, toilets outside and is great with my 6... She was left last night for several hours and was totally settled. She is beautiful x

I'm desperately keeping my fingers crossed for Brook today. He has been limping and is off for x-ray/bone biopsy of a lump on his leg.

Bobby (Pumpkin)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thank you to everyone for all your kind words, it means so much to us at this sad time. We are devastated to lose Bobby, after he fought so hard, to something so totally out. of our control. Thank you to Ruth for allowing us to share his last few weeks, he really was a very special boy. I know how upset you were today when we spoke, you really do care so much for these beautiful dogs. To Bobby...we wlsh we could have had more time together... but you will live in our hearts forever. Oh how you fought so bravely...but sadly you could not stay...for the angels came from Heaven, and they took you far away...they wrapped their wings around you, and they asked us all to pray,now a new star burns so brightly, as we look at the sky today. R.I.P beautiful boy - we will meet again one day ! All our love... mom & dad. XXX.

What to say that has not already been said? They say that our dogs live in the moment, and it's a comforting thought that Pumpkin's moment was in the warmth and security of his home with Paul & Terry. Sleep tight precious boy, you have touched us all xxxx
