Thank you Auntie Kate and Auntie Jo. Mom had to promise never to ask for another greyhound again to get TC to agree to have Sydney. Mom says that doesn’t stop her from demanding, suggesting or showing pictures though!!! Sydney Is really small and cute and I am being really good with him, even when mom put him on my back, cheek! Lubs you. Florence xxx

We arrived at the kennels this morning, Denise had already fed the hounds and cleaned the kennels, unfortunately the hose was froze, so cleaning the feeding runs was done with buckets of water! The chicken house had leaked so Denise cleaned it out and gave the girls nice clean dry bedding. What was a fairly quiet day in the diary proved to be anything but. The two dogs that were due in last Friday arrived, they are gorgeous, Boss a lovely black lad and Julie a pretty fawn girl. It was far too cold to bath them so they had their welcome health checks done and got tucked up with nice warm fleeces in their kennels. A late viewing resulted in Bess being reserved. Swift had a further viewing to introduce her to the families children and other dogs, all went very well :)) Millie who has been on long term foster was signed up officially today by our lovely volunteer Gloria. X Morning walks were done but this afternoon walks due to the weather were abandoned, however, when there was a lull in the snow flurries the inmates had a little time in the sand run. Despite the weather the sand run was very popular today. Many thanks for the bedding donations. Thanks to our intrepid volunteers for all their help today, it was ffffreezing, we all felt it despite trying to keep busy. I think it may now be breakfast time, although I may forego that for a couple of medicinal glasses of wine!!! Stay safe, well and warm, looking at the weather forecast over the next couple of days it looks like it may be almost tropical at 12 degrees!!

We had a lovely hour with Kate and the dogs yesterday (sorry for holding you up Kate!) It was the first time I've been since loosing my beautiful boy but wanted to bring the dogs some Christmas treats and get our calendar. It was very emotional going without jet but also lovely memories of a place that gave jet and I the chance to meet and have an amazing life with each other for a few years, just wish we could have had more, but as I always say, a life time with him wouldn't have been long enough. Mia had a fabulous time with the dogs but demonstrated to Kate how confident she is with dogs but doesn't realise yet that not all dogs appreciate been pulled, poked and messed with as much as she likes too, so needs to be a very special, understanding dog to put up with our family but I hope when jet feels the time is right he will send the next one to daybreaks for us as I have such a void in my life that will never be filled but can hopefully help xxx

I also arrived at the kennels in the middle of a blizzard this morning! My ever faithful little Skip insisted on coming with me, wrapped up in two coats and his snood! Bless him. Xxx So grateful to Angie and Michael for feeding and cleaning the boys and girls. 🙂 Xxx Thanks to everyone for their help today, we were able to go out for both walks. Little Quivers wasn't too keen to go out this morning but was fine once she got going. :)) This afternoon she was more than happy to join the others for a stroll. Xxx It was great to see Jetlucy this morning. She and Mia popped in to see us and brought some lovely treats for the dogs. Mia gave everyone a doggie donut. 🙂 Xx Joe went off to his new home, had a wee up the chair in the office just before he left! Sure he wanted to leave us a reminder of him! :)) Bless him. Wishing him a very happy new life. Xxx A lovley family came to visit the dogs and are hoping to adopt one of our boys or girls in the near future. Xxx A big thank you to Jez our Saturday student for all his help today. It was just us two left this afternoon. Xxx Left everyone snug in their kennels tonight. :)) Skip and I were very happy to see all the snow had gone by going home time! Xxx

I came on an overnight dash to Birmingham with mom. She was sorry that she didn’t have time to visit the kennels but we had to complete an important mission. I had no idea what was going on but we went to where Samantha works. We were there a while and then Samantha came out carrying one of those small cratey things mom uses to take Maud and Dora to the place of dooooooooom, I hates it there! We then drove home and when mom opened it there was a tiny weeny kitten in it. It’s my new brother Sydney. Mom says I have been such a good girl with Sydney and she’s very proud of me. Florence xxx

What a wild, stormy night it was last night - and with that in mind we headed out to the kennels a bit earlier this morning, and the closer we got, the harder the snow came down!! It was a swirling blizzard on arrival (I kid you not) but fortunately all doggies were absolutely fine, snug & cosy in their centrally heated kennels! The only casualties of the storm were a Christmas tree which had been blown over scattering baubles everywhere, and the canopy that stood over the donation cart - it had taken off but somehow managed to land covering the front of the cart and sheltering it from the worst of the snow & wind! Gold stars for all the residents as every single kennel was lovely and clean - making my job very easy, thankyou boys & girls. Well, its stopped snowing now but it's still blowing & absolutely freezing - and its not Winter yet!! Stay warm & safe everyone Angie xx

Woody has been staying with us since Monday. He was understandably unsettled on Monday night but within a day or two, he settled well. He prefers staying upstairs to lie down, but comes downstairs regularly for a fuss or to see what’s going on. He gives a wonderful welcome home if we’ve been out - a very waggy tail indeed. He loves his walks but is a bit nervous of people walking past. He hasn’t met many other dogs yet when we’ve been out so we’ll wait to see how that goes. He is clean in the house and sleeps well at night and he loves his food. He’s a really lovely boy x
