Poor Mum is so busy at the moment what with packing for the move and setting everything in place for Border Collies In Need I hope she doesn't forget to take us with her next weekend when we leave. :)

We are really excited about the new rescue, all those Collies to meet and play with!

Big thanks and hugs to Auntie Helen who is busy building the new website and Auntie Diane (who we will miss loads) and Auntie Sue for taking on the mamouth task of fund raising for Border Collies In Need. They are all wonderful and we are lucky to have them on board!

Tuesday 18th August

What a busy weekend we all had.

It was nice to see so many friends both doggie and human.

The highlight of the weekend for us (and I think 'Mum' and 'Dad' too) was a chance to see Poppy again. When she left Home-A-Dog she was just 9 weeks old and she had been very poorly and almost died, she had been suffering with Strangles but we all helped nurse her back to health. This time she was a wonderful, happy, healthy girl and we all had great fun running around and playing together. We didn't want her to go but her new 'Mum' & 'Dad' love her very much and would hate to be parted. We miss her though and can't wait to see her again.

It was lovely to have cuddles from Auntie Helen too. She had her doggies with her too - Sky and Blue but we didn't get to play with them this time.

Everyone was Atka (ed) which is a bit like being Tango(ed ) only less fizzy and more furry but no one seemed to mind.

Sunday 9th August

The gorgeous Charlie arrived today for a brief stay before he goes to his new foster home (thank you Sammy). I had never seen Charlie in the fur until today and I have to say he is stunning! Much bigger than I thought and with a face to die for, he looks at you with those soppy big eyes and your heart just melts!!! Whoever homes this boy will be wowed!!
Big thanks to Steph and family for taking him in and doing such a good job with him so far.

Saturday 8th August

Remember Charlie the black Lab x we were telling you about? The poor boy has now lost his foster home through no fault of his own so is set for yet more upheaval this week. Luckily Sammy one of 'Mum's' regular fosterers is going to take him so he doesn't have to stay in the kennels and get all stressed again.

We think that black dogs must be very unlucky because poor Charlie has had such a hard time!

Tuesday 4th August

Bear and Meg got to play with the lovely Reggie today, they were doing circuits of the field this morning, great fun!!

Kanga went off to Greyhound & Lurcher rescue on Monday and she has now settled in happily until she finds her forever home.

'Mum' says there is another Greyhound at the Pound waiting to come across, I think they must be like buses and always come in twos!

Saturday 1st August

'Mum' says there has been no interest in Charlie as yet.

Did you know that statistically black dogs are harder to home than any other colour of dog?

Don't let Charlie become just another statistic. :(
