Roxy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well, what can i say about Roxy! She is a beautiful, gentle, spirited girl who gives wonderful cuddles! Our 3 girls love her and she is wonderful with them, our youngest who has Autism is very much enjoying having a new playmate and they are getting along fantastically. Roxy has shown a real interest in tea towels, bean bags and especially fabric draught excluders and is forever taking them to her comfy spot in the living room, we set up an area in the corner of the room with lots of soft cushions and she loves nothing more than to curl up there and snooze! She loves a treat and mealtimes are very amusing, the moment she sees us take the can of pilchards out of the fridge, or hears her bowl being moved she is up, jumping and wagging her tail! Roxy is incredibly good when out walking, and relishes every minute 🙂 and her excitement and wagging tail when she sees us in the morning is just beautiful. She has only been with us for 5 days but she has stolen our hearts and completed our family!

Tessa
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Tessa visited the vets last night, all o.k. with chin wound and she has now finished her course of tablets. Yesterday we had a little barking but all were doing it when the thunder came and as usual no one would go outside with the pouring rain, but no accidents in the house they all just waited. Bouncing around treat time hardly noticeable, so getting there. Tessa lying close by no problem. Sylv

I have had Tulip at home with me since the beginning of June. She is the sweetest little girl. She is totally house trained, good with mine and sleeps well at night. She can be left throughout the day with no stressing (I have watched her on the cameras linked to the house) but she does like the company of another dog. She is great on the lead and getting much better meeting and greeting other dogs. She is at home with me because she was so very stressed at the kennels. I am desperate to find her a new home as I am worried she is getting so used to our routine. If you could possibly offer Tulip a home, please please give me a call. She is a very happy affectionate little girl and would be good with older children. Unfortunately she is not cat friendly.

Bess
Over the Rainbow Bridge
My Bess has been really unsettled with the thunderstorm this morning. She didn't want her breakfast - this is the dog that eats practically anything and a lot of it too. I do believe she 'sensed' a storm coming. Yesterday morning she ran up the stairs and would not come down, even when I tried to coax her with treats. I kept telling her to get down, but she wouldn't take any notice, she has never ever been defiant and stubborn in all the time I've had her until this incident. I feel sure she was afraid of the pending thunderstorm and just wanted to get somewhere she felt was safe.xx

Everyone was fine in the thunderstorm this morning...we had a little problem with one of the drains overflowing; Belle, Polly and Max ended up paddling in their kennels for a while but didn't seem to mind and it was soon sorted. All the dogs were far more interested in breakfast than the storm! Xxx

Hi missfifi, thanks very much that would be great. We are planning on coming to Daybreaks on Sunday to do some dog walking ( and litter picking down the lane!) so would be pleased to borrow Daisy's thunder shirt to try for Larry. x

I have a thundershirt for Daisydog that she doesn't use anymore and am happy to lend it for Larry. I will be at the kennels on Thursday and can bring it with me. Just let me know on here. Daisydog (amazingly) completed ignored the horrendous thunder and lightening from 1am through to about 10am this morning but bolted into the house from the garden when my next door neighbour shut her front door! Daisydog is a girl full of surprises xx

I was so very sorry to receive a phone call to let me know that the lovely Olive, owner of Harry and Blade, passed away last week. Olive was a regular attender at the Sutton walks and will be sadly missed. My sincere condolences are with her family xxxxx

A bad night with Larry last night with all that thunder constantly rumbling around. Out of the three he is usually the laid back one and the two girls more highly strung. But last night Misty and Angel (aka Lucy Locket Pocket Rocket) were OK and it was poor frightened Larry who kept us all awake with his barking. Douglas spent the night on the sofa trying to keep him calm....am now going to investigate the 'thunder shirts'. May be needing an afternoon nap today. x
