This lovely girl is steadily getting braver. She now gets up to have a look when we come home or when we get up in the morning, and after a while will come over for fuss. She decided this morning that she wanted to eat her breakfast in the utility with the others which was great. And she’s wanting more fuss in the day so comes over and stands next to one of us then moves backwards and forwards between us so she can get continuous fussing. She loves her treats and reeeaally loves cheese! Xx

It was fairly quiet for visitors today, not at all like the chaos of last Sunday! There were a few visitors for the sand run. Thanks to our regular Sunday volunteers and to Liz_Beth for taking Eagle to the park, sounds like he had a fab time. Little Granite is a bundle of fun, given half a chance she would lick you beyond recognition! Simon went into the feeding run this morning and she had him pinned against the bars, she is so very affectionate and still a baby really. Penny can't make up which way her ears should go, they seem to have a mind of their own! Prince is a really lovely boy, so calm in his kennel and great on walks. Take care all and stay safe. X

I took Eagle for a walk around Sheldon Country Park today. As Lady Victoria said, he is a little nervous at times, especially with new noises. That said, it did not stop him wanting to walk today or wanting to meet other dogs. He was great with other breeds and just wanted to play with them. He was more than happy to go straight up to other dogs and say hello. His tail went crazy whenever he saw another dog. He was only allowed a gentle stroll of an hour today due to a recent injury, but I think he was enjoying exploring that much, he would have stayed out for longer if it had been up to him. He wasn't sure about coming in the house with me, but I did manage to coax him in. Once in though, he stood looking out the patio doors, looking longingly at the garden. I think he prefers being outdoors than in. A dog after my own heart! He needed help getting in the car, but once in, travelled well. He's going to make a great pet. Here's hoping he doesn't have to wait too long for his new home xx

It was a very wet and blustery morning! We didn't think our residents would thank us for sending them out in the rain! Dave got beds out and they all had a break from their kennels and watched the rain from the shelter of the small runs. It was completely different afternoon, sunny and quite warm. Thanks so much to Gloria, Jan and Gill for taking everyone out. :)) Gorgeous Morris came in for a pamper with Jess. It was lovely to see him and his Mom and Dad. 🙂 Xx It was a very busy morning with lots of nail clipping and donations of bedding, for which we are very grateful. 🙂 Handsome Ronnie found himself Reserved! Fabulous news. Xxx Ruth, Jess, Gloria and I were all kept busy filling out raffle tickets! The response has been fantastic. :)) I hope the draw went ok tonight. :)) I am jealous of whoever won Shirley's lovely hand knitted blanket! Xx Xxx

She is a beautiful girl. We thought she looked a lot like Flo so looked up her history expecting to see Flo's relatives & had such a shock. She's related to Nifty!!

Beautifulgreys - I'm so sorry for your loss. Granite is a bundle of fun. Just like my Nadie - they're sort of related. She's very lucky and kissy. There would be no time to feel sad. No harm giving the kennels a ring. We're not there today, but Lady Kate is and plenty of volunteers. We're there with Jo tomorrow. x
