Alfie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thank you Ina and Pam (: It's great to have him home, we've had a great time these past five hours and he's really settled in. He's hilarious and such a character. He's currently asleep next to me after eating his yummy tea, which he waffled down in a few seconds! He helped us clean the floor afterwards too! Haha. We've been on two walks, to tire him out a bit. He's been good with the rabbits so far, not going past an invisible boundry we made, though has yet to meet them. He's great on his walks, though doesn't understand what pavement is and just loves walking all over peoples drives!! He's yet to have an accident in the house and whined to let us know he wanted to go outside to the loo. He'd seen a squirrel on our longer walk and wanted to chase it as it ran, though I felt bad as he whined at it. I still don't believe he's ours to keep, but he's just so gorgeous and funny!! We're still planning on coming up at the weekends and walking the others when we can and we'll be joining you on walks etc. We'll be updating a lot! (; xxx

Spirit
I’m Homed
Spirit is the sweetest boy ever and is perhaps perfect! He's lovely and is so very sad to be at the kennels. He's a pretty boy too and quite lively, he just loves attention. He shouldn't be at daybreaks long, he's adorable! x

Lola (Ashley)
I’m Homed
Well, we've been together now for about 6 weeks(?). Lola is just adorable, everyone who meets her falls in love with her. We have lots of cuddles as often as possible and I'm really enjoying going for walks with her, until she does her 'freeze' act! Still haven't got to the bottom of it, but am working around it at the mo. HOWEVER, making progress with the cats has been very hard indeed, mainly because they just choose to keep out of the way by staying out. So it is almost impossible to reward her for responding well! And although at least my cats are safe, I feel very guilty and upset that their lives have been turned upside down, and not for the better. Still, I have been reading a lot and have hope that relations could still be salvaged in time. So I'll just keep on doing my best. Right now she's snuggled up on a duvet, out for the count! What greys do best!! xx

Homecheck was fine, the family was really nice and It was great to see them after meeting them at the Easter Fun Day. We're hoping to get him tomorrow if we can board him at the kennels when we go camping. So excited! We're considering calling him Alfie. x

This boy is so gentle and just wants fuss constantly. His tail was wagging when we went to say hello and my mum had fallen in love with him. He's a wonderful boy. x

Amy is absoluetly adorable! She just begs for fuss and her tail wags constantly! I was desperate to have her, but then again they were all wonderful. I'm sure this girl wont be there long, she's so pretty and has such a wonderful personality. She'd make a perfect family pet for someone! x

Poor boy was quite stressed arriving here. It was raining so we had to take his photo in the kennel - Sara lent a hand holding him still!
