Well, at least it was dry, still very chilly. Thanks to everyone who came and took a dog to the Br ueton Park walk. Those left behind had a lovely walk down the lane. We had some lovely new volunteers so all the dogs that could go had a leisurely stroll this afternoon. Lucy and Jess came in after the walk to take some photos of some of the residents. Dave once again partook in his never ending battle with nature! A massive thanks to Patrick our Duke of Edinburgh volunteer who very kindly helped clear the kennel car park of leaves. Louise had a visit from her family, not long now until she goes home. We are expecting some new arrivals this week, so keep a lookout on here to see what pretty or handsome hounds we have come in. Now going to unfroze my toes! Take care all.

Came home from work yesterday and Barney the shredder was at it again paper everywhere.ripped envelopes and old phone book. And today got in the kitchen and came upstairs with a whole malt loaf in his mouth that he would not let me have and even growled at me for trying to get it off him. It’s now twice the size with the tugging to get it off him with teeth marks on the one end.

What a stinky day! Very cold, very wet and horrible! :)) However we had lots of lovely hardy helpers :)) Thank you! Xxx The boys and girls all went out for walks this morning and this afternoon. I think the Lane was more like a paddling pool! 🙂 Many thanks to Liz for taking Kristoff to the park, they both got very wet! Xxx We had a lot of visitors despite the weather. Thank you to everyone who brought us donations of food and bedding and to the family who came in to enquire about volunteering. Tatty's new Mom came to visit her, she will be going home in the next few days. 🙂 Hoping it's a better day for the walk in Brueton Park tomorrow! Xxx

Thanks Liz_Beth for taking Kristoff to the park today. It's great to see that he was good with other breeds, I know he was good with Sara's border collie but lovely to know he was good outside the kennel environment. X

Lovely update on Tig, it must be very strange for them to be in a home for the first time with all the new sounds and smells, I'm sure it won't be long until he gets his paws firmly under the table and it will be like he's always been with you xxx

Kristoff came with me to Elmdon Park today. He is such a lovely boy. He travelled really well, settling immediately. Once at the park he wasn't fazed by other breeds. He walked happily despite the mud and rain. He's a real sweetie and I'm sure he'll make a great pet xx

Just an Update on Tiger, he was little disorientated yesterday afternoon when we got him home but he soon settled and was very playful and just wanted cuddles! He Had a fairly settled night except howling to wake us this morning to make sure he wasn’t on his own ????! He’s a great addition to our family!

Walked Kristoff today. He's lovely and walked very well on a loose lead. All of the dogs made us laugh today as there was a man mowing the rugby pitch with a push mower and you could see the dogs trying to work out what type of dog he was walking! He'll make a super companion. Hope he finds his forever home soon. x

Took Meena out for a walk. She was a little jumpy at first, especially when lorries drove past. Walked beautifully the whole time, getting on with her new kennel mate too.

Took this lad for a walk today. He walks at the end of his lead, but doesn't pull hard. Seems to be getting on with his new kennel mate.

Such a character! Took her for a walk today. Tail was high and wagging the whole way. Very, very inquisitive. Had a good sniff of everything. Love her little "bound" when we walked fast.

It was chilly, grey & gloomy today - but it was a lovely day despite that working with our beautiful boys and girls. Jo was off early on the Vet run, taking sweet little Tatty to be speyed. She is such a gorgeous little girl and I'm so happy she has been reserved. She was quite bright on her return this afternoon and enjoyed her bowl of dinner before re-joining kennel mate Scruff to settle down for the night. x I met our 3 latest new arrivals - a lovely trio indeed. Roxy is such a pretty little thing - and has spent most of the day taking her coat off!! We pop into the kennel to put it back on her, but next time you look it's off again! Think she enjoys this game of "how many times can I get someone to come into my kennel and give me a fuss!" Quiet day for visitors, but this afternoon saw the handsome Tiger happily trot off to his new home. Wishing him and his new family lots of good times together. Many thanks for everyone's help today, doggies had 2 walks and some sand run playtime too. Another weekend is upon us - I seriously cant believe how fast the time is flying by. We have some viewings booked so fingers crossed that we see another red sign. Tickets for "Countdown to Christmas" are still available - come and join us for a great start to the festive season. A nice glass of red wine later methinks - to toast our kennel full of beauties and wish them all forever homes soon. Whatever you're doing this weekend, enjoy and keep warm. Cheers! Angie xx
