Hi Sylv, hope you are all ok. Unfortunately I won't be going on the Kingsbury walk, but I will be at the Daybreaks Birthday party at the end of the month. I am looking forward to seeing the plaque in memory of your lovely Mindy. Are you and John going? Kate and Twiggy xxx

Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
This is wonderful. Jack heading off in afew weeks to his new home. Remit has clearly provided the perfect foster home, for lovely snuggly Jack, Id just like to say well done and thankyou. Having fostered myself its so rewarding watching them go off, but also bitter sweet, because we are only human, love dogs and want to keep them!! Also to daybreaks kennels for finding foster homes for the dogs in need of a 'non kennel' environment. Clare x

The little darling had a brilliant night. He slept in his crate without making any fuss. He was determined to master climbing the stairs this morning - which he did after a while. He still needs to master coming down, bless him, but he'll get there.

Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Yes, Jack's new owner seemed lovely when I met her today at kennels. He really does seem like the ideal dog for her in every way and I hope the home check goes well. Jack will be staying with us until Daybreaks reopens, then he'll be heading off! I will be really sad to see him go, but I am so happy that he has found a permanent home quickly. =)

Fire
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Fire Alert: (LOL) Fire is getting along nicely with my two other boy greys. He sleeps soundly and has been problem-free during night time. He is clean and would do his business outside. His fluffy obsession is still a work in progress. Fire and I are training hard to lessen this fixation and hopefully be successful in being tolerant around fluffy things/animals. I've also decided to give him three small meals a day as he seems a lot calmer in between feedings. He could also use a bit more weight as Ruth mentioned. Apart from that, he is the sweetest thing. He loves cuddles, kisses, and belly rubs. He is a big boy who thinks he's a chihuahua as he loves lying beside you and rest his head (or body) on your lap. My boys are teaching him the life of retirement gradually as all three greys would love snoozing together as a pack and run around or investigate things in our garden. There was one funny moment with Fire. Both he and my grey Floppy were barking by the back door seeing a squirrel in the garden. Then after a while, Fire put his head on Floppy's back and still barking! Hahaha, what a character! He is still learning the routines at home but he is showing promise. - Myrna 🙂

Well I don't want to speak too soon but Aztec was just a superstar on his walk. He didn't react to the dogs we saw (although they were a little distance away, Magic still reacted) and better still he didn't make a peep when when we approached a cat. The other four were going nuts and he just stood there. I'm just praying that he continues not to be swayed by our thugs haha. He's a gentle giant. Well done beautiful boy xxxxx

My cuddle for you today Fudge - such a quiet, well behaved boy who jumped up on his bed when asked, and loves a real cuddle. The right home must be out there somewhere my boy, be patient. x
