Ah my lovely Bob, I just can't understand why you are still at Daybreaks. You're such a star and we had a lovely walk today, you were a tiny bit excited when we met those other dogs, but responded very well and were so good. My cuddle for you today. Xx

Thank you Pearl for making our family complete. You were both the funniest and cheekiest dog I've ever known and we'll miss you forever! You were taken from us too early and we'll miss the way you always made us laugh with your brilliant personality! Thank you for all the Pearl hugs and keep wagging your tail bobba! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sheldon is currently on holiday (in solihull!) with us, he's a gentle giant 🙂 our marney is a little spoilt so has the odd grumble at him and he's not said a word back!! I only live local so if you want to meet him at the kennels any time this week let Ruth know and I'll bring him over x a real sweetheart x

Tom

Poor Tom - he has been stressing quite a bit since arriving but we finally got him to eat yesterday afternoon (hand fed by Laura). He is a sweet boy, cat friendly (lived with 2 cats) and great on the lead. I hope someone can see past his age and give a loving home for his twilight years.....

Jess, I think it's safe to say that lovely Rosie is definately small fluffy friendly as there were lots of small fluffies at the vets yesterday and she paid no attention whatsoever to them. x

Norris
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Mand. Norris is doing just fine thanks... in fact I sometimes think he's feeling a little too well! The scar from the surgery looks like a neat drawn-on line now that all the scabs have gone. It's nice not to have to use the lampshade any more as he used to give us that very sad look of 'Oh no... please don't put that thing on me'. Plus Lola is relieved as when he waggled his head near her wearing that thing she was most disgruntled! Norris has now found the toys and if he just takes them to bed and nibbles on them that's fine but absolutely no throwing them around is allowed as he'd be throwing himself around as well. It's usually so nice to see a grey playing with toys so it seems a bit rotten to restrict him but I just tell myself it's for his own good. He's also barked .....just once! That was about a week ago and we've not heard one since! It's a relief to know he has a voice though 😉 I'm sure Norris doesn't think he's got a broken hock as his latest trick is to do spinning at mealtimes, so we're now working on ways to lessen his inclination for this undesirable activity! To be honest if he'd not got the problem he has then it wouldn't be a real issue. It's 3 and a half weeks now since the surgery (how time flies) and when he gets to 6 weeks he can do a bit more exercise so it's just a case of getting through the next 2 and a bit weeks then I'm sure he will be better when he can go for a little stroll up the road. He's definitely put on some weight as well and is looking more pet-sized now! When you can't go for a walk, food is very important to a boy and I have to say Norris definitely loves his grub! On top of his Burns Pork & Potato, we are working our way through the A la Bark recipes and so far we haven't found anything he doesn't like 🙂 He's such a lovely boy and we love having him to stay. Just working towards the day (in a few more weeks) when he can have his new doggy brother-designate to visit as we so want them to get on OK then he can head off to his permament home once he's got his all-clear at the 8 week follow up at The Willows xxx
