Thursday 30th July

This is Charlie relaxing in his foster home, we haven't met him yet because he's over in South Wales and because he hated the kennels he was staying at 'Mum' decided to take him on and provide him with a foster home where he could make friends. Charlie is approx 6 years old and was given up by his previous owners, he is living in a lovely foster home at the moment with children, other dogs, cats, chickens and a whole array of small furry animals and he gets on amazingly with everyone. Charlie knows basic commands, is house trained and travels well. His only problem is having been in kennels for a long period of time he has some degree of separation anxiety which his new owners must be prepared to work on. Having said that Charlie is improving everyday and his foster mum is working on his issues. Charlie is a sweet dog and deserves a home of his own.

Tuesday 28th July

We have had a great time while 'Mum' has been off work. We had lots of long walks, lots of attention and games and even a couple of outings to enjoy!

Sadly for us, the kennels are now open again and by the end of the week we will be full again. Expected doggies are a Lurcher, a Greyhound and a Jack Russell, I don't think we will be allowed to play with any of those and Sage the new Collie is too old to run around with us. Although he is very friendly and wagged his tail when he met us in the yard this morning.

Monday 13th July

We haven't had much to blog about the last few days but here we are now with the good news that it looks like both Boomer and Yoyo have found new homes. Boomer will be leaving us next weekend for Bolton and Yoyo is off to lovely Devon on Thursday. So that's good news for the pair of them.

'Mum' tells us we have a new dog coming in this week a Staffy called Ragga who is a big softie! Lets hope he's easier to home than poor Bess who was with us for a long time.

Tuesday 7th July

Everyone is laying bets on how long it will take 'Mum' to crack and say that Talli can join the Penkitty pack, we all know she loves him but she's resisting! She keeps telling us that he would be better in a home where he could have lots of individual attention but we aren't convinced. We are quite surprised at how little interest there has been for him as he is incredibly cute and very sweet natured.

The vet came and took out Boomers stitches today so he can run and play again without that silly lamp shade on his head.

Saturday 4th July

'Mum' had a lovely surprise yesterday when she found out she has been selected as a woman of achievement for her work with rescue dogs and has been invited to the Women of the Year Lunch in London. We are very proud of her!

She has been very busy today seeing dogs off to their new homes.

Blue has gone off to start his new life in Kidderminster where he will have the company of an equally lively female collie and our friend Spiros has also gone to start a new life in Holyhead with a lovely young family.

Talli should have gone to his new home today but he is still with us where I suspect he may stay because I heard 'Mum' say to Andy & Amanda yesterday that if he didn't go she would have to keep him because we all love him so much.

Wednesday July 1st

'Mum' is very busy organising the Home-A-Dog Funday for August 16th, she has just found out that Auntie Helen is coming down to help and bringing all the family and doggies too so big thanks to Auntie Helen.

We hope that Auntie Sue is also going to come down with Poppy we are quite excited to see the lovely Poppy again.

Talli is coming on very well and is not at all shy when he is with us and he has even met Atka who is loads bigger than we are. Someone is coming to see him at the weekend.

Blue is off to Surrey next Tuesday (thankyou Andy).
