Dale

Dale and Nellie went for a trip out round the shops at the Weatsheaf today with myself and Norman, they were so well behaved, were not fazed by anything and both went up some steps at the underpass, although were a little reluctant to try going down. it's just a shame we didnt get much interest really from the shoppers.

Minnie

So pleased to read this, it sounds like she is very similar to her brother Tom (Drumscraw Tom), he likes to collect shoes as well, he doesn't chew them though just sits with them in his bed. I hope all goes well for you and Minnie.

Minnie
I’m Homed
As you may have guessed from the reserved sign, we are definitely keeping Minnie! I'm going to go in today to get her papers all sorted and then she is officially mine - I'm so excited. 😀 Haha, that sounds amazing. At least she loses interest in them though. It wasn't until last night that Minnie decided that shoes were also a collectible, just after I read your comment about Freda and your shoes actually. Only difference is that Minnie thinks that they are super fun to play with - we humans hold the opposite view here. The bowl hoarding still continues, you'll be pleased to hear. Although we have managed to avoid any more catastrophes with the water bowl and its companion bucket. (She probably thinks we are the most boring humans in the world at this rate!)

Nana has had a very settled night and has woken up with a wag in her tail and an appetite 🙂 So pleased she has bounced back already - time to get some weight on her - hopefully the Burns goodies will arrive in the next few days for her x

Talk about laid-back-Larry, this evening he was fast asleep on his settee when he fell off and just continued sleeping where he landed (gently) on the floor.xx

Hi all, I can tell you that Rita (now named Breeze) is settling in very well and already feels like a member of the family. We are really pleased to say that she is no problem at all. She is funny, cheeky and a friendly girl. Sue & Lee x

Norris
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Big day tomorrow for Norris as he's back for his check at the Willows. I can tell you now he will not be impressed in the morning as he's not allowed any breakfast. He's amazing now and like a different dog from the one we first brought home in June (well we already know his leg has an extra bit in it but that's not what I mean!) He's clever and so much more confident and he's getting really playful. As the toys are still off-limits until we get the verdict from the vet, he's making his own entertainment with whatever he can find, or by just trying to engage me in a game of tag 🙂 so funny as he squeaked at me last night when he was obviously frustrated when I wasn't joining in. Think he gets fed up hearing me say 'just calm down'! Keeping everything crossed for tomorrow xx

Right then Buddy. Let's get you sorted. You have been here only a week or so less than Fire. You are a lovely big, softy and we need to get you a permanent home. Best smile on with matching waggy tail, if you please! 🙂

I have just got back from the vets with a very poorly girl. She has had loads of teeth out and she came round from her operation and then started bleeding so much, they had to anaesthetise her again to stop the bleeding. She is curled up on a massive duvet and looking very sad.... lots of TLC needed for this girl - does anyone fancy fostering her?

Minnie
I’m Homed
Oh, that's so lovely to hear - I hope you do keep her as she will be so happy somewhere that she's getting to know already. I'm sure training classes will be of huge benefit to her, it must be hard when their instinct is to chase, that's all they've done all their life and then suddenly we expect them not to!! She sounds gorgeous, I can just see her walking round carrying bowls & buckets - Freda has developed the habit of picking up any shoes that are on the floor by the back door & carrying them either to her bed or the settee - she loses interest in them then!! They are such funny things but so adorable. I hope all continues to go well and she does become part of your family. It will be very hard to take Freda back next week - if only circumstances were different........Good luck & best wishes to you all.
