Yeuna (Sooty)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
A little update on Yeuna - what a clever little girl she is! Today is her 6th full day with us, she already knows that she gets her food after Daire & Annie, she loves her cuddly toys, we've only had 2 little accidents and they were on Tuesday morning, the first day she was left after coming home with us on Saturday evening. She has been totally clean in the house since then and will even wee on demand! She has settled in to Daire & Annie's routine remarkably well for such a newbie! The new name came because (1) Sooty rhymes with Annie & we thought it might confuse Annie lol (2) She didn't answer to Sooty but she does to Yeuna! (3) I think Sooty is more a boys name and she's too pretty to be a Sooty lol (4) her racing name Universal lent itself to a name like Eunice or Una hence Yeuna (a bit of both and I think a very pretty name for a very pretty girl!). Yeuna has settled well with Daire & Annie and is quite happy to bed hop with them (though Daire does look a little uncomfortable in Yeuna's smaller bed!) when they decide they're going to use her bed instead of their own! I still can't understand why she was brought back to the kennels - she's an angel!

Gosh Ruth you are having a very tough few days. Daisy and I send love to Joe for a good outcome. We so enjoyed our little trip to the kennels yesterday seeing you, and meeting some great volunteers and the gorgeous dogs. You do the most amazing work. And Joe is a fortunate boy to be loved and cared for so much.

Wilf
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Wilf is one of the most loving dogs I have had the pleasure of meeting, he can be a little bouncy at first, hes just really happy to see you,but soon settles. He is great with other breeds and is ok with my cats, although the chickens are fun! He will be an asset to any home.

Have you tried the Antler bones. They sell them at Pets at Home and are from naturally shed antlers. The large ones are about £7-£8 and can last for ages. They have marrowbone inside and usually even heavy chewing just breaks off small bits so are much safer than hide chews. Jack loves his. They can get sharp around the edges after lots of heavy chewing so need to be checked every so often although he's had his current one for ages with no probs. Some are tougher than others. No squeaks though lol

sadly due to circumstances the family could not keep Wilf. To try and help the situation we have had Wilf in a foster home for just over 4 weeks but sadly the family have not responded to our calls and messages. It is time to find him a new home.

Well Mottee adores her, she's clean in the house, completely ignores the cats (the cat in the photo has taken to playing with her tail when she wags it while lying down...I swear she's playing back), and is surprisingly great with the chickens (Mottee's only fault for his first week here was rushing the chickens in their coop). BUT...it turns out she's a menace to a SEALED packet with a fortune cookie in it if you leave the room for two seconds. It looks like she stood on it and then ripped the corner off. She hasn't eaten any of the packet so she's fine if a little annoyed at being busted mid theft 😀
