Yoda

I had a wonderful update from Yodas mom this afternoon. I think it's safe to say she and her family are besotted. He has settled well, is clean in the house (although when him mom comes back in she has to be quick to let him out as he gets so excited he has weed on a kitchen cabinet)! All is going well, so pleased for this super lad, he has got a fantastic family. X

Oh Locky I’m so happy for you. The last few times I’ve been to the kennels we’ve had lovely cuddles and a lovely walk. You are a gorgeous boy but soooo big and I was worried it would be hard to find you a new home. But here you are reserved :))) Congratulations gorgeous boy xxx

It's wonderful to hear how Kylie is doing! Wow! 15 years 8months old 🙂 I can still remember the day she came into the kennels with her brothers and sisters after her previous owner passed away. What a fabulous life she has had with you. :)) Great to hear your lovely Lucy is doing well too. Lots of love to them both, Kate Xxx

Locky

I had the pleasure of walking Locky this afternoon. He does walk very nicely on the lead but doesn't always want to turn round to come back to the kennels. 🙂 Fortunately his split tail is looking much better, it's amazing the speed he can wag his tail! It goes round and round like a helicopter! Hoping his forever home will soon come along. Xxx

Samson has settled well at the kennels. Normally when I look at the cameras in the evening he is laying on his back, legs in the air looking very relaxed. :)) He is a lovely lad. Xxx

Dougie (Nidge)

Nidge made a friend today. One of our volunteers brought her gorgeous little Lurcher in with her. She went out for a walk with Nidge and he loved her company. When they came back, Nidge didn't want to go back to his kennel. They went into the sand run together for a play. 🙂 Do hope Nidge's forever home comes along soon. He is a very happy, friendly lad. He would be happy on his own but im sure he would love a little girlfriend to share his life with. :)) Xxx

Kylie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi all. It's now March 2021 and Kylie has been with us since 02 Nov 2014. We thought she may be with us for two or three years at most, if we were lucky. As she is such a little star, she is still with us and is currently 15 years and 8ish months old. She is a little sweetheart and largely doing well but she is becoming more frail and can only manage short potters now. Lucy is still around to provide company for Kylie (and is 13 years 7 months old herself). Kylie is still quick to give us her opinion on things and a bright eyed little lady with ears that pop right on top of her head when she thinks a treat may be forthcoming (I think she stole them off a donkey!). She can't go far anymore but she goes for a sniff around in the back garden and out onto the canal verge outside our house to have a sniff of the crocuses and Stinking Bob weeds - she loves that stuff! Her main issue is weakness in her hind legs but she can still manage to toilet by herself and can generally get herself up, but she does get stuck on occasion so we have to keep rethinking the placing of the beds. She's still very interested in what we're doing, eating pretty well and apparently stuck her nose on Andy's new guitar neck a few days ago and got a note out of it. Each extra day with this girl is a blessing and we're so glad we provided a home for her all those years ago. A little lady with a huge character. Our Queen K most definitely!

PLANNED RESPONSE , so I sat down to sausage and chips and a TV show, I'd got 2 sausages and some chips and watercress , I only ate one sausage at the time and thought "Oh well , I'll save that other one till later" and all the time in the background , unknown to me , at the foot of my bed an attack was being plannned 10 feet away , so for 45 minutes , I watched what I was watching and at that moment ,and , with military precision, when both my hands were on my chair as I got up , the sausage was gone, Celia must have been planning her next move for those 45 minutes that I was distracted ,there is no other explanation even Jess was confused , so I gave Jess the few leftover chips ,much to the dismay of my strategic food time attack planner.
