What happened.!!! We opened up the kennels and there was the odd snowflake, within what seemed like a few minutes there was a good covering everywhere. It got to the point where our footprints were being covered in minutes. Dave got the snow shovel out and cleared a path around the kennels. By the time he had finished it was covered again! Dave has an ongoing battle with nature, normally it's with the leaves! It got so bad I moved my car from the car park onto the driveway as that was fairly sheltered. We did become just a little concerned that we may be snowed in. I would have been quite happy sharing a kennel with one of our inmates with their under bed heating!! Thankfully it did ease off, so after feeding, cleaning and tucking the kids up this afternoon we made a slightly earlier exit than normal. Unusually, I am in tomorrow. The weather report says cold and sunny, I can cope with that, I do like the snow, I like it when I am at home in the warm and not at work wondering if I will manage to get home and see my dogs. As always stay safe and well. Xx

I am saddened to read this, when Eoin was looking for a home we had a viewing with him, we really wanted him but our existing Grey was a bit bossy with him and we didn't think that would be fair on Eoin. I felt so bad that we couldn't offer him a home but shortly after our visit he found his forever home, rest easy Eoin, you were a beautiful special boy, lots of love to your family...sleep tight sweetheart xxxxx

It is with immense sadness we heard wonderful Eoin has gone to Rainbow Bridge. His family are devastated. He had a fabulous, happy life with them and shared his home with Greyhound buddies Shaun, Peg and brothers Roy and Saddle. Thinking of them all and sending all our love. Xxx I’m sure Eoin has been reunited with Shaun and they are running together or in Shaun’s case strolling! Xxx God bless his special new Angel Eoin. Xxx

It was a very icy morning, Skip and I were very happy to arrive at the kennels safe and sound! 🙂 Gorgeous little Star went home! I will miss her happy waggy tail and sweet little face. I'm sure she is going to be very happy. :)) Our new boy Alex arrived full of beans! A very happy soul :)) He really loved his walk this afternoon with Lee, Sam and Peaky. We did have a heavy snow shower at the time but none of them seemed to mind. Xxx Left everyone with a Kong, heaters on and a night light on for Peaky. :)) Thanks so much to Jess, Dave, Patric and his Mum for all their help today and Rosie for coming in this afternoon and doing lots of paperwork for us :)) Xxx Xxx

I was so grateful to Ruth and Andy for taking Bill home on Thursday evening. I was so worried about him. Fingers crossed his upset tum will soon be ok. In the meantime I know he is in the best possible place. Hope he will cheer Ruth up too while she is waiting for her leg to get better. :)) Xxx

Alex arrived at the kennels today. He is a very handsome lad with beautiful eyes. Jess bathed him. He is so funny when he shakes, he does his front half and then his bottom catches up a few seconds later! Xxx

Bill
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Gorgeous Bill is staying with us at the moment. Kate called me Thursday late afternoon to say she was worried about him. He had been drinking lots, didn't want to eat and kept being sick so Andy kindly took me up to the kennels (as I can't drive at the moment) and we collected him. The following morning he was much brighter and ate some chicken and a small amount of Burns. I am going to keep him here until he goes to his new home next weekend. He has had a few accidents but he is learning a whole new routine of living in a house and hopefully by then his tummy will have settled - if not, a trip to the vets will be on the cards!

This morning started with the homing of Ice, he has a lovely brother Eric, many of you will remember him as a long stayer at the kennels, Sisters Nev (Susie, fostered during lockdown 1.0) and veteran girl Blitz). Wishing him a very happy life (but not too happy before his neutering op next week)!!! Star had a visit from her family this afternoon, her brother Spirit had his neutering op today, they said it very strange not having a dog in the house! Star is going home tomorrow. Thanks to Dave and Chris for all their help today. I had an unscheduled vet trip with a poorly cat!! Poor Socks had been sick yesterday and overnight, so off we went for a check up. She seems ok and is now on antacids. There are bookings for nail cutting, food collections and sand run. Please remember if you do need to come to the kennels to call ahead and make an appointment. As always stay safe and well everyone. X

Russ
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We have had Russ just over 12 Months and not written anything in a while so I will tell you what I have learnt about Russ in that time. 1 Favourite sleeping place is anywhere we are at the time. 2 Favourite hobby eating and sleeping. 3 Favourite toy The washing up bowl. 4 Dislikes the rain. 5 Annoying habits trying to pinch anything Dad is eating or cooking. 6 walking habits got to be ahead of everyone else so I can get to the cats easier. 7 Fuss rules you can only stop fussing me to get food. 8 Dinner time rules mornings When you get up. Evening times 3.30-4pm don’t be late. 9 When I bark you have broken the rules 10 Don’t forget the rules and everything will be fine. Got to go he wants to go out for his morning cat patrol.

So happy for Laddie! He wasn't quite sure what he was doing back at the kennels and made sure he stuck as close as possible to his Dad. Just in case he got left behind. :)) Whishing him a very happy new life. Xxx
