Russ
Over the Rainbow Bridge
First of all we would like to thank everyone who has left a comment and showed their support. They were all so lovely and are really comforting. We really do appreciate the kind words. It was so shocking and it came out of nowhere for us. He was so happy until his last day. It was a hard day yesterday and we are still trying to get over the shock. He was so loved and everywhere we went he came too. Everyone loved him. I’ll never forget the moments he gave us. His washing up bowl and his weird ways. He is always in our heart. Run Free Russ xx

Sadly Monty is being returned through no fault of his own. He is totally cat friendly however the family cat has not eaten since he arrived and is clearly unhappy. He has apparently been absolutely fantastic and will make an amazing addition to a family.

Spike has been staying at "Daybreaks Hotel " since last Tuesday and today paid his first visit to Elmdon Park. I can honestly say he was a real pleasure to be there with. He took a keen interest in everything going on(he loves a sniff !) but was calm and well behaved with all the other breeds of dogs he met. He walks sensibly on the lead. He is going to be a tremendous asset to the permanent home that eventually arrives for him. Hopefully that is now not far away

Hi everyone. Please pray for Russ who has gone into surgery overnight. We are in total shock. We just returned from the caravan and he was his complete normal self and all of a sudden he was screaming in pain and became bloated. We knew something was seriously wrong and took him to the vets. He is still in surgery now and we are praying he pulls through.
