Boo

Boo is coming on in leaps and bounds. Michael wore his cap today because of the rain and she really didn't like that very much (it must remind her of something), but when he took it off, she came up to him and even had a treat out of his hand! She is really gaining in confidence, and is such a sweet little girl. Big cuddles poppett. xx

Bandit (Andy)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Bandit is absolutely gorgeous. He wags his tail that much in his excitement at being leaded up to go out on a walk, or even someone going in to visit him, that he has unfortunately damaged the tip! He is very playful and decided it might be fun to run off with his blanket and play with it! A very friendly, affectionate cuddle monster, bless you sweetheart and hope your forever home comes along soon. xxx

Bess
Over the Rainbow Bridge
It's our Bess's 4th Birthday on Sunday. I haven't showered her with gifs this year as if she needs something she has it anyway. Instead, I've bought what she adores the most - food!!! Bought all her favourite stuff so she can have a pig out on Sunday, and I'm baking a liver 'Birthday' cake for her and sister Belle aswell. I've never done one before, can't stand the taste, look or smell of liver - my little Bess deserves it though. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Unfortunately Pip is being returned tomorrow. Let's hope we can find him a home as soon as possible as he is used to home life - perhaps third time lucky.....

As a new volunteer at the kennels I took my 'maiden voyage' down the country lane yesterday, escorted by the beautiful Barney. What a gorgeous boy he is and such a gentleman. He seemed to enjoy his walk, striding out (without pulling) and was so well behaved. I'm still at the 'I want to take them all home' stage. Does this feeling ever change I wonder!

Hi Clare, I'm sorry to hear the lump is a cancer but there are lots of treatments around now that help dogs with cancers. My lurcher and my grey both had cancer- Moke an aggressive tumour on his leg and Tigger a Spindle Cell Tumour 🙁 Moke had radiotherapy and as Tig was nearly 12 I wouldn't let them operate but for both I also went to a homeopathic vet who recommended raw food, no vaccinations (your vet shouldn't vaccinate as she's not a well dog as I understand the advice .. see Canine Health Concern) , he does chiropractic and gives them homeopathic remedies to encourage the healing process. Moke had the lump taken off, radio, homeopathy and altho there was only a 40% recovery rate his cancer never returned and he lived till he was 12 1/2 with a good quality of life. Tig's tumour shrank as Chris treated it- unfortunately it moved as it shrank and Tig died in her sleep. It helped me to use 'alternative' vet medicine as well as conventional as I felt I was doing something for my dog 🙂 Tig was in the Willows too with a damaged disc .. their care is fabulous .. like has been said 5 Star 🙂 Don't forget that you can ask for a prescription and get your vet medicines on line as they can be cheaper - I saved £250 on one lot of Tigger's Tramadol and two Antibiotics .. you can even claim the cost of the prescription back from the insurance company. All crossed and good luck for Josie plus big hugs for Louis too. J xx

Hi Clare. The Willows is a fabulous place and is totally state of the art. Paul and I have first hand experience as our first foster dog Norris had surgery there to repair his broken hock. It's like the best private hospital you could imagine. They offer free monthly tours which are held in the evenings. Details are on their website and it's well worth it. It's great to hear the specialists are so positive and you know we're all here with you every step of the way. XXX
