Oh, Lisa I am so very sorry to see this. He was indeed a very special boy. Absolutely heartbroken for you, it is such a very difficult decision to have to make. He is now running fast and pain free at the bridge with all of our beloved hounds who have also crossed over. He will be well looked after by all that have sadly passed before and will shine bright upon you always, until you meet again. Xx

Sully (Paco)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I know a lot of you have seen on the Facebook group but sadly we said goodbye to our best beautiful boy Sully on Tuesday. He had slowly been losing the use of his back legs and having falls, he was a brave boy but unfortunately was in pain so we let him go to sleep. I hope his love of his life Isla and brother from the same litter Eoin (who sadly went a similar way last year with bone cancer) were waiting for him at the rainbow Bridge. Sully was an absolute perfect mommy's boy right to the end. Never put a foot wrong over the years, apart from that one time he had a little mishap when we had a real Christmas tree in the house ???? he was very embarrassed. He has loved our children and been an excellent role model for Tinker and our other dogs. We miss him so much xx

Hot again! Ruth found a portable aircon unit to put in the kennel block, it worked a treat! :)) We managed to take the dogs out for a short walk this morning. Wet coats on they were kept nice and cool. I'm sure they enjoyed being able to get out of the kennels for a break. Xxx I met our latest two arrivals Annie and Totsi, both gorgeous! Many thanks to Alan and Declan for going to the warehouse today. It was hot work! Xxx Thanks so much for everyone's help today. We really appreciate you putting up with the very hot conditions and coming to see our lovely dogs. :))

A cooler start to the day, as the cloud was so low it was overcast so we grabbed the opportunity to get the hounds out for a much needed walk. They arrived back as the Sun was beginning to push through the cloud. Thanks as always to our Wednesday walkers, to Denise, Chris and Dave for all their help today. Dave gave the car park a good tidy up. Little Miss Topsy Turvy had a trip to the vet's for her annual booster, she was such a good girl. There were two new arrivals, very pretty Annie and handsome boy Totsi (this will get confusing with a Topsy and a Totsi in the kennels). Their trainer told me there were tears at home before he brought them in, unfortunately he couldn't keep them himself as he has others at home. They are both lovely and enjoyed playing with a ball and the paddling pools in the outdoor feeding runs. This afternoon was just too hot for the dogs to go out (and us!!), so it was playtime, wetting down time and fuss time. Tickets are on sale for our first social event in over 18 months, tickets are £7 each, there is a bar for pre show and interval drinks. The monies raised will be going to help fund Caesar's treatment. Just call the kennels to book your tickets. Try and stay safe, well and cool. X

Roxie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Roxie is a little ray of sunshine! When we open the kennels in the morning, she is so happy to see you. 🙂 Her tail is wagging madly and her eyes are shining. She has a little dance around when she comes out for her breakfast and then looks around to see if there is a good looking boy she can chat up and have a flirt with! :)) Bless her! Xxx

Topsy

Topsy kept Lucy and James amused today by "diving" for treats! She loved plunging into the paddling pool and retrieving them. 🙂 She is a very happy, friendly girl. She doesn't like being in a kennel very much so really hope her forever home comes soon. Xxx

Another extremely hot day, so sadly walks were not possible for the dogs. They did come out into the runs frequently during the day and this afternoon they all had a short stroll in the shady part of the drive and sand run. Xxx It was great to see Billy go home today. 🙂 He really is a super lad and he has a super new family. :)) Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. Xxx Great information on keeping our dogs cool from Ruth. It's been a real challenge at home as Skip and Lyra will insist on coming upstairs even though I keep telling them it's cooler downstairs! Skip has his own tip about how to stay cool....find a fan and lie down right in front of it! :)) Xxx
