Wow! 16 donations. I know how amazing that is as Sam gave blood for the first time a couple of months ago and was fine but was too nervous once he got on the bed this time so we all made the decision to leave it. We're trying one more time. I know it's a similar story with others so it's not so common for dogs to become regular donors. It's definitely still worth going even for 1 donation as that can potentially save 4 lives.

Boots
I’m Homed
Boots is such a tiny boy, he weighed just 25Kg on the vets scales today. He was great in the car, sat quietly for the whoie journey.:) He was a very god boy during his stay at the vets. He saw a small dog in the waiting room and was fine with him. When I picked him up tonight I was told all the nurses had fallen for our super little boy! :)) Xxx

It was Boots's turn to be neutered today. Poor lad has had several teeth removed...Ouch! However it didn't stop him from eating his dinner when he got back to the kennels. I couldn't collect him until 6pm, he must have been so hungry! Xxx The Pet Blood Bank were at the kennels, only Danny and Drew were able to donate as most of our residents have just been neutered or about to be neutered so were unable to help today. Xx A lovely family came to meet the dogs and ended up reserving Drew! Brilliant news! Xxxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today! Xxx

I am so very proud of my girl today. She gave her 16th donation to Pet Blood Bank, sadly as she will be 9 on Christmas eve this was her last donation. She has potentially saved the lives of 64 dogs....amazing I think. Flloydy also donated, he just loves all the fuss and attention he gets! Although both of them nearly fell asleep whilst on the table!! If you are unsure of putting your hound forward to do this, please either call me at the kennels or Pet Blood Bank directly on 01t09 232222. They are next back on 25 February, so if your dog is fit, healthy and weighs 25 kg or over please think about it. They all get a goody bag, toy and some Chappie food afterwards.

Lou went off to the vets first thing this morning for her neutering operation. She travelled well in the car and enjoyed a short walk before we went into the vets. I collected her this afternoon, she has had four teeth removed, so nice soft food for the next few days. Alan carried out Scruff's home visit today. Scruff went along with him so she could check it out for herself! Many thanks to Alan for carrying out the home visit for us. Alan says Scruff was very impressed with her soon to be new home. 🙂 xx Barney's family visited the kennels today. It was very sad, they had a cuddle with some of our residents. Xxx It was nice not to see any rain today! :)) Xxx
