4 years ago today I fostered Max after he was sadly returned. It was a foster up until 8th January, well as you all know that didn't happen. So pleased to say he was my first failed foster. He is an utter fruit loop and even though he no longer has any teeth, loves his toys and food, not sure in which order! We all love you loads and you make us laugh every day, especially when your tongue escapes. Xxx

Had a lovely update on Eric today. He has enjoyed his 1st Christmas in his home, has been so very well behaved and gets on well with his sisters. He is going to the vets on Friday to have a nasty corn removed. Thank you Jayne for updating us. Hope all goes well and look forward to seeing you soon for volunteering duties.

Seventh day with Boots today. He is still a great lad. Thought he might begin to get his "feet under the table" but he is no different from the day we had him. He can manage the stairs most of the time (a little help required going up sometimes) to go to bed with us and can last through until the morning to go to the toilet. He met one of the family's Kings Charles' Spaniel on Boxing Day and was fine with it, no aggression at all just got a little excited wanting to play. He is going to make someone a fantastic pet, pity it can't be us but hubby's adamant he won't keep him.xx

To all who have been at the kennels doing the deep clean this morning, thank you so much! It is greatly appreciated by not only the resident hounds but also by those of us who have adopted from such a fantastic place. Good luck with the new independence, though I’m sure you won’t need it. Xxxx

These 2 are crazy and I thought I was, but the other day when Dad was at work one of them ( probably Celia, (not trying to gossip about her up or anything) I don't know because I was sleeping ) chewed the doorstop to the bedroom and we all got shut-in, so when Dad came home it was amazing and he didn't even get grumpy that his keyboard had been knocked off the desk as we were all so pleased to see him Princess Jess is lovely and Celia is just proper strange, I've shown her how to open drawers already and Dad has had to tell her NO a few times, Dad said before she came here that she was Nervous, always kept her tail between her legs and I needed to look after her but shes a fruit loop, her tail is stupid and she always wins the Eating the dinner race ( I always come second even though I get my dinner first and Jess always comes last) Dad says I need to teach them both the "Out of my kitchen " game but thats another story , I need sleep Love Carrie Xx

How lovely to hear how Russ is getting on. It can be quite daunting going into a new environment, yes he has had a couple of hiccups but sounds like he is doing well. Three dogs is very rarely more difficult than having two....just saying. Thanks so very much for fostering him over Christmas. Love Jo and the furry FIVE!!!!!! X

HI, WOW I have this amazing new bed, it's taken me a few days to realize its mine, it has a memory foam matress a quilt and 2 pillows, Carrie shares it with me and sometimes Jeff sleeps on it. I am a bit scared here of "The dog that comes in the night", whenever I go to the top of the stairs and look out of the window I can see it, its looks like me, it moves when I move and so I bark at it and it barks back at the same time, then Celia and Carrie come along and 2 other dogs join in with the one outside and they look like Carrie and Celia, it's proper weird though because they are never there in the day, but Jeff just closes the curtains and it goes away, I think he's scared of the dogs outside as well ,anyway, Just thought I'd say Happy New year and loads of Love from Princess Jess xx

Russ also sounds a darling and also keeping an eye on his posts. Could be a tough decision ahead.

Russ

Day 7 fostering - Russ is such a lovely boy. He is a quick learner and has already learnt (mostly) to pee outside,- only 3 'accidents' in total, climb stairs, stand still while his paws are wiped, and not to steal food off the worktops - again, mostly. He walks well on the lead - gets a bit excited when he sees smaller dogs but nothing worryingly so. He was great with visitors and small children over Christmas. He sleeps in our bedroom with Reggie all night. No whining and can wait until morning for a pee. We left all 3 dogs for 3 half hours yesterday and I think he may have got a little stressed out as he managed to bolt the front door (locking us out) of home and knocked a plate off the drainer smashing it on the floor. Whoops! He is very loving, wants lots of cuddles and is very affectionate. We would have no hesitation in keeping him but for the fact that we have 2 dogs already. He will make a lovely companion and pet for the right humans. We will miss him very much when it is time for him to go back to the kennels.
