Magoo was such a good boy whilst waiting for his bath today at Pets At Home. He didn't bat an eyelid when a Jack Russell puppy sauntered past. He likes his hugs too xx

What a whirlwind of a day! A call first thing this morning as unfortunately Cora had managed to tear her dressing off her leg so I headed off to collect her from her foster home and get her to the vets in Moseley. She unfortunately has been admitted and hopefully being operated on tomorrow. On the way back to the kennels I stopped off at Pets at Home as we had a very generous lifelines voucher of over £2,000 to spend so I purchased 4 new crates and two pet gates. We loan these out to foster homes so they are vital to our work and the ones I purchased many years ago are becoming very battered! I also bought some toys and treats for the current inmates. On arrival back at the kennels I was told that the water had been turned off due to a burst pipe at the B&B and therefore only two dogs had been bathed. Therefore next on the agenda was a trip to the Groom Room at Pets at Home, again using our voucher and treated the other 6 to a bath and pamper session! Elizabeth helped with the transport - thank you! Back at the kennels and I saw the lovely Rosie and Jim who are out on foster. I removed Rosie's staples and new collars were purchased.... hmmmm that usually is a good sign!!!!!! Poor Richie is a bit stressed so he has had some calming tablets but he would certainly benefit from a foster home. He was so very good today seeing other breeds . The newbies are absolutely gorgeous and I will add some new photos in the comfort of my own home! Peaky is coming home with me still - ooooh I am so tempted - heart says go on but head says NO!!!! 🙂

Our eight new boys and girls arrived this evening around 5pm. :)) They had started their journey from Ireland at the weekend. A lovely gentleman delivered them to us. It was lovely to meet each one as they came off the van. They all had a stroll around the sand run to stretch their legs and have a much needed wee! 🙂 As it was getting quite late they all had dinner and were allocated a nice warm kennel. Xxx Lots of bathings to be carried out tomorrow! All paperwork was sorted and they were tucked up for the night. Ruth took a lovely video of them all before we left. Xxx Thanks so much to Shirley, Richard, Lucy and Jayne for all their help today. Xxx Have just checked the cameras and they all seem settled. Bless :)) Xxx

Peaky came home with me last night. Bless him, he is being a perfect house guest! Totally clean in the house, ate his dinner nicely (did try to eat Tiggers too!) and enjoyed lots of fuss. He played ‘let’s run up and down the stairs’ with Tiggy before crashing out on his bed for the evening. He came upstairs and slept all the the night.... he is just so adorable and loving- he might just keep coming home with me until he finds his new home x Lucy has added some stunning new photos of him... he his heart melting x

At last it was warmer today! Yippee! :)) Peaky, Dizzy and Ice spent some time out In the small runs and enjoyed the sunshine. Our cats, Socks and Tyke also enjoyed the sun and sat in their outside run. Come on Spring!! :))))) Brilliant to see Dizzy and Ice go home today. Wishing them both very happy lives with their new families. Xxx No doggies in the kennels tonight! After Dizzy and Ice went off to their respective new homes there was only Peaky left, so he went home with Ruth! :)) Our new arrivals are not expected to be with us until late tomorrow afternoon. We are all really looking forward to meeting them! :)) Xxx

Peaky enjoyed being at the kennels today. He had a lovely long walk in the park with Liz this morning, then spent a while in one of the runs where the sun came out and it was actually quite warm! Later this afternoon he wandered around the kennels with Tiggy, Momma, Skip and Lyra. :)) He is a lovely lad. Xxx

Peaky came for a walk with me today to Elmdon Park. First of all though, I had to get him leaded up. After receiving a hug from him on entering his kennel and having done a few 360s trying to get his coat, lead and muzzle on him, we were ready to go. He maintains a good pace and likes being out front. I don't think he is quite so keen on all the mud at the moment though! It is pretty boggy around the nature reserve and on several occasions we got half way across the mud/ lying water only for him to decide he wasn't too keen it!! A little bit of coaxing and we were in our way again. He is a very handsome boy and I don't think he wanted to ruin his good looks with muddy paws!! We walked for over an hour and he met lots of other dogs and showed very little interest in most of them. He certainly attracted a few admirers with his stunning looks and stood calmly for some fuss. Here's hoping he doesn't have to wait long for his forever home xx
