Ooh Sam how very cheeky!! You are definitely gaining in confidence, after a kiss on my nose on Friday and taking treats from my hand on Sunday you are coming on in leaps and bounds. Thanks so very much to Rosie and Paul for fostering you. XXX

He’s definitely starting to get cheeky! He barked at Paul this morning because Paul didn’t put his breakfast down quickly enough for him, and then stood and barked at him while Paul ate his sandwich at lunchtime. I assume Sam wanted some as he does enjoy his food :)) He went to Paul for some cuddles today which is the first time, but again only comes for them if we’re sitting down. But he did get close enough to sniff my hand when I came home from work today which is braver as I was still standing up xx

Thank you to the people who came in and helped today, with cleaning and walking. My Arry enjoyed his afternoon walk. Thanks for all the donations of bedding and towels, and to everyone who came and used the sand run. We had a lovely donation of sardines and treats for the kennel dogs, very much appreciated. It was great to show the lovely people around the kennels and to hear them say what a fantastic job we do with homings, they had lots of questions about what we do and will be visiting us again in the not too distant future. Let's hope we can get some more deserving hounds into their forever homes. X

We all had a lovely walk this morning...It was quiet at the kennels, Billy had been for a walk which left Bob Tail, Noddy and Jag to go. I also had Skip and Lyra with me. Ruth, Diane, Declan and myself all went off together. 🙂 After walking along the lane and being very disappointed at seeing and hearing all the building work going on, Diane suggested we check out the Public footpath across the fields. It was like another world! Quiet and wildflowers and butterflies everywhere. I don't know if the dogs appreciated these but they loved all the different smells! 🙂 Richard, Shirley and their boys Murphy and Drew met us on the way back 🙂 It was great to escape for a while. 🙂 Xxx

So Sam’s been with us for a couple of days now and his confidence is slowly improving. He started off lying in his own safe place at one end of the room away from everyone, and now he’s started to lie on one of the beds near us. He’s happier to come and say hello if we’re sitting down rather than standing up and this evening, he’s had some lovely cuddles with me. He seemed amazed by the wide open green space in the park yesterday. He’s a very inquisitive boy and I think may become quite cheeky once his confidence has built up! He’s a gorgeous lad xx

Billy came with me to Elmdon Park today. He is such a happy boy. He actually bounced out of his kennel and his tail never stopped wagging. He really loves his walks and is extremely happy to be out exploring. We walked for about an hour and met quite a few other dogs. Whilst he isn't 100% sure when other dogs run past him, he doesn't react badly, but his head does seem to be on a swivel!! He doesn't however bat an eyelid if they walk past him calmly. He is a really sweet lad , who is a pleasure to spend time with. Hopefully he will have his own sofa soon xx

Big Moe came to the kennels for a pamper with Jess today. It was great to see him and his Mum. He is still so very handsome! He has a few grey hairs appearing which just make him more distinguished! He was such a good boy during his pamper and afterwards he was treated to a new toy. :)) Xxx

Linford decided he didn't like the pillow Yvonne had lovingly placed in his kennel this morning....he thought it looked better with the stuffing removed and spread around his kennel. :)) It did create a very nice snow scene! :)) Xxx
