Sorry we haven't been able to blog for ages Mum is still ill and it looks like she will be for some time. The hospital say she has to rest and at last she has agreed. That means no more rescue for a while, which is sad for the animals that need her help but good for us because we get all the attention.

We have had lots more snow so great fun for us doggies!! Nice to hear from our friends Silver & co, good to know they are enjoying the snow too.

We love playing in the snow!!!!! It's so much fun, Dad makes snow balls for us to catch and Bear runs round and round in circles.

Mum isn't very well so she hasn't been outside much to see us play but Dad takes lots of pictures for her.

Loki & Bear want to wish all fellow Collies a happy Christmas. x

Mum has been asked to help the lovely Sasha.

Sasha is good with other dogs and cats as you can see! She is an American Bulldog, 2 years old, neutered, vaccs, chipped and insured. She can be a little bit boistrous so not for a home with young children but fine with teenagers upward. Sasha was rescued from awful circumstances as a pup but sadly ill health has caused her owner to look for a new home for Sasha.

If you can help please contact Mum via the website http://www.bordercolliesinneed.co.uk/

You will need to be home checked and also be willing to give a donation to a chosen charity.

Well Christmas is most definately upon us and the traditional out with the old pets and in with the new has begun!! Mum went into my local vet today with some of our Christmas quiz booklets and they had just been handed a lovely white bunny to be destroyed. No longer wanted because the kids are getting Guinea Pigs for Christmas (the makers of G Force have got a lot to answer for)! The poor bunny is a house rabbit so has never lived outside, is neutered and litter trained, health and fit just not wanted anymore.
Sadly Mum couldn't bring him home because of us and the cats but is trying to help him get a new home before Christmas.

Auntie Nannette has made a fab Christmas Quiz book to raise money for all the needy Border Collies like me and Bear so please buy one and have a go this year. Some of the quizes are really hard but it's a great way to help us dogs at Christmas while having some good family fun too. Booklets are not expensive, just £2 and will be for sale at lots of different places around Wales but if you aren't local don't worry we will send one to you, just send an email with your name and address and pay by paypal on the website or send a cheque.

We have been very sad since Mum managed to rescue one of the collies from Stoke. He was a 12 month old boy called Axel who had been so badly treated and adused that he had to be put to sleep. It is so awful to think what this poor baby had gone through since he was born, he probably didn't know any kindness until his last 24 hours with his foster carer Sue.

The worst thing is that the cruel b*****ds that did this will most likely to go on breeding  pups and selling them on sites like Preloved to idiots who make it easy for them. Please please PLEASE if you want a dog or a puppy go to a rescue or a registered breeder don't buy dogs out of the local paper, off internet sites or puppy farms do some research before you get your dog to see where it has come from. Other wise there will be more dogs just like Axel who suffer so you can have your sweet pet puppy.
