Skip
I’m Homed
We're getting excited as it's Skip's 6th birthday tomorrow. Both Skip and Sam have a pressie each. Before that we have training with cake for the doggies and lemon drizzle for the humans - both made by Connor. Then a trip to the kennels. It's a special birthday (as they all are) because Skip has gone through a nasty cancer and then a spinal stroke in the past 14 months. He still has his issues but he's a totally different dog to the one we brought home in June 2018. Simon's worked so hard with him and he's passed bronze and silver kennel club good citizens tests. Now working towards gold. We love him and Sam so much and having them has helped us through the loss of our gorgeous boy Bert. x

Just a reminder...if you are coming to our Official Launch Party on Sunday...and we would like to see as many of you as we can. Parking is available at Birmingham Exiles Rugby Club, please park at the top of the car park (closest to Coventry Road) you can access the main road via a gate leading onto it. The rugby club have requested that you park as closely to each other as you can as they have several games on and need parking space too. Please do not park at the Gables, you will be ticketed and issued with a parking charge. Many thanks. Jo

I thought mom was going to leave me but then she got my harness out and I jumped up and down with excitement. We drove for ages and ages and ages and then we were at Uncle Ian and Auntie Deborah’s house. I knew as soon as we turned into their road. I ran to the front door and then when I got inside there was Russ! Mom had told me about him but I didn’t really understand. We wagged tails and swapped beds and are having a lovely time together, I think he fancies me! I can’t wait to go to the run tomorrow. Lubs to all Florence xxxx

This is strange. A new hound has entered my house.... she is pretty so I’m trying to get on her good side! I want her to like me so I’m protecting her. We went on a walk and I didn’t leave her side. I am thinking of asking her on a date while to hoomans are out for their meal.... any tips??? I hope Florence likes me too.... On another note me and Florence have already shared games of Musical beds and had a competition of the most waggy tail. We are getting on and we are being very good! The hoomans are proud! I’m excited for the Run tomorrow with hopefully my new girlfriend and Aunite Jo with the gang. Sorry Flloyd I hope there are no hard feelings about me having a crush on Florence! Lubs Russ xx

This Kennel is so strange, Princess Jess seems to love it, that guy Jeff keeps saying she is so like his "Mummy" he's proper weird, I found the most amazing food a few days ago though, it was in the sink, and that guy Jeff said " No you can't eat my washing up sponge " and pulled it out of my mouth, I HATE WEARING MY HOUSE COLLAR and I keep taking it off and I've hidden it today so he can't find it, What is wrong with you Humans ?? What is wrong with me walking on his desk or trying to eat his beard dye and that water bowl with the lid on is sooooo interesting and how weird is this he took us all for a walk at 6.30 this morning in the dark so I can't bark at Meg the Collie that live in the house on the corner, I still am the quickest at eating my dinner ( note from Jeff: It really makes me upset to see how fast she has to "think" she has to guzzle her food) I'm going to bed goodnigh Love Celia t x another note from Jeff , Celia is a Looney and Jeff is off to bed too Goodnight x

A day of two halves weather wise - rainy this morning, sunny this afternoon but blooming chilly all day!!! Fortunately though, the doggies could go for both walks so they were happy. I met our latest arrivals Harry, Paddy & Zoe. They are all so lovely but I must admit to having fallen in love with Harry! He is mahoosive - but walks beautifully on his lead and eats so gently, a very friendly gentle giant. Paddy is also a handsome big chap, and little Zoe is sharing with the lovely Drew. They are getting along well, although as is typical with the girlies - she is on the big bed leaving poor Drew to curl up on the small raised bed!! A quiet day for visitors meant we could get on with preparations for Sunday's launch party - we are all looking forward to it and hope to see lots of ex residents and their families. We would like to say a huge thank you to our friends and supporters at Burns and Skinners who have very kindly donated goody bags - so the first 100 people through the gate will receive some lovely goodies, and we have popped some of our own freebies and promotional vouchers in the bags too. At the moment the weather forecast is looking good, if a bit chilly, so fingers crossed it stays that way. Well, another weekend is here and my red wine toast tonight is for all our gorgeous boys & girls, may forever sofas be just around the corner. Hope to see you on Sunday. Cheers! Angie xx

The rain was back today!! We were able to do morning walks but the rain was so heavy this afternoon walks were abandoned 🙁 Instead the dogs had a break from their kennels and enjoyed a groom. 🙂 I met Zoey, Paddy and Harry today. Zoey is a very cute little girl and all I can say about the boys is, Wow! They are both gorgeous :))) Lucy was hoping to take photos of all our new arrivals this afternoon but it wasn't really photo shoot weather! 🙁 Thanks so much to everyone for their help today, Alan cheered us up when he and Paddy arrived with the donuts! :)) xx Xxx

We are looking for a new friend for Amber after losing Casper before Christmas. She is very sad on her own. Today was our first visit and Amber would like to apologise to Drew, Blue, Ed and Paddy for her behaviour. Thanks Kate and team for your help and understanding. We'll keep trying!

Last night I slept very well! Today has been eventful though... It all started with going to the vets... Not a great start to the day in my opinion but oh well. They were the horrible people that made me feel pain. Nothing to worry about today though just had my vaccination. All went well and apparently I was a very good boy! The vet checked me over to see how I have recovered from the op! Again she said it has all healed amazingly well! I saw two cats there. I was giving them a good stare but nothing worryingly and didn’t go for them or get excited. After that eventful morning we all went to Pets At Home! That was fun. While we were there I saw a spaniel who I was very good with. We got to the till and I saw this pig toy. I instantly wanted it and gave my hoomans the sad eyes so they could get it for me... for £3 they couldn’t grumble... I think the only time they will is when I play with it for about 2 hours... whoops! Russ Xx
