Lucy
I’m Homed
We collected Lucy on 25 October for her third (and final!) forever home to stay with us. Since then she has been GOLDEN she is so loving and adorably follows us around the home. She loves her morning and afternoon walks and even has a friend (our friend's Staffie called Mitchell) who she gets on great with. Lucy is here to stay but we will be back for visits to the sandrun! Love Lucy, Jamie & Nav x

Further to the Prime Minister’s announcement we are heading for lockdown again on Thursday so today I am having a meeting to discuss how things will work regarding food collections etc. I am looking for foster homes for our current inmates and our planned new arrivals this week. Please CALL me at the kennels if you think you can help. Our phone lines are open from 9am til 4pm (and outside of these hours for emergencies). All that is important to us is that everyone stays safe x

I’ve had a new update from Molly’s new mum. “She has come on in leaps and bounds. She is funny and gentle and has so much more confidence. She loves her walks, doesn’t freeze any more and has bonded closely with me. It’s truly amazing the change in her over 2 weeks. She’s also a prima donna, shouts and squeals at any tiny little thing, honestly you would think she’d been kicked if Vito (Molly’s furbrother) is behind her and accidentally nudges her backside!” So it sounds like she’s doing really well and being a typical grey with regular GSODs!! I love this little lady xx

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
