Letter from Jaspar (Little Timmy at Wiccs) & family

Morning Sarah and Paul,

Just thought i would let you know how well Jaspar is doing. We changed his name as we thought Jaspar was a cheeky name just like him.  He is absolutley fantastic, and has settled in so well.   

Myrtle loves him, and they play really well together.   Jaspar wont go any where without Myrtle, and follows her every where apart from up stairs as his legs are too little!   She is being big sis, and is learning to play too as we dont think she knew how to play with other dogs and needed a respectful dog to learn.

Rosie walks him which she really enjoys as it means that she can help us walk the dogs, there is a special bond betwen Rosie and Jaspar which is great to see.

He loves watching 101 Dalmations although we cant actually hear the film as he talks to the dogs!

We can't thank you enough for all your help, I am recommending you to anyone that is looking to adopt, as you have been fantastic.   We have adopted cats and dogs from other rescue organisations but your procedure is definatley the best.

Thankyou,

Linzi, Rick and Rosie-Bea

Letter from Spot (was Scottie at Wiccs) & family

Hi Paul and Sarah,
 
I have now been in my new forever home for a fortnight and thought I would write to you and share some of my experiences so far.  Mum and Dad decided they couldn't call a Border Collie 'Scottie Dog', so I became 'Spottie', and now just answer to 'Spot', which works really well 'cos of the multi-coloured spots on my legs.
 
When we left Wiccaweys we came straight home - I was very tired, found a nice spot to call my own and have settled into my new life like it was an old and comfortable slipper. 
 
Mum takes me out for a walk every day - we go to some lovely places - Morkery Wood, George Henry new Wood, the Meadow and River Walk, The Quarry Walk, the Yew Tree Walk and the Old Railway.  At first I had to walk on the lead, but as I was a good boy Mum let me off when it was safe - I didn't venture very far and Mum says my recall is excellent - I even came straight back after spotting some deer.  We are working on some other stuff too and I am learning fast.  My favourite game at the moment is when Mum throws a ball - she has a ball thrower which means it goes a long, long way.  I have a real giggle sometimes though - when I take my eye off the ball and don't know where it has gone, Mum has to fetch it herself ........ she is SOOOO SLOW compared to me!!
 
Mum says we have lots of other exciting places to visit yet including Bourne Wood, Stretton Wood, Exton Park, The Golf Club and Rutland Water ..... I can't wait!  What a fantastic life - I have enclosed some photographs for you to see.
 
The other day we went to see a lady called a Vet.  She was very nice and checked me ALL over.  At the end she gave me a jab - Mum explained to me that it was a Rabies Injection which means I will get a pet passport in 6 months and be able to go on holiday to France with Mum and Dad later this year (hope they take my good side for the photograph).  They have a cottage in Brittany which is surrounded by forest walks and Mum says we will be moving to France eventually - Hope I can speak the language.  Don't worry - I will still write.  
 
Dad  says I am like Paul's Tardis.  I appear to be a sleek and toned border collie on the outside ....... but inside I have the heart, stomach (and bowels) of a Great Dane!!!
 
I think it must be fate that the first home you found for me didn't work out as I couldn't be more contented now - I have lots of new toys including 'Smiley Face' - we can't work out who has the biggest grin  ........ 'Smiley Face', me, or my Mum & Dad!  
 
Well, I had better go, but will write again.  Thank you for giving me so many happy memories of my stay with you and please pass on my thanks to those lovely dog walkers who took me and my friends out every now and again.
 
Love, Waggs and Collie Kisses to all,
Spot   xxx 

 

Letter from Becky & Sarah

Hi Paul and Sarah

Just a quick note to let you know that Becky has settled in very well and is her usual excited self! No major problems at all.  She has an appointment with the vet tomorrow and I have ordered some of her natural champ for her.  She is very much enjoying her walks in the fields where I live especially when she gets to scare all the pheasants.  This morning a hare ran out as well which was almost too much for her!   She is a bit scared of traffic when walking on the pavement but she is slowly getting used to it and we are trying to go out at quieter periods.

Will keep you posted on her progress!

Thanks

Sarah

From Cassie (Peggy at Wiccs) & family

Hi, Sarah ,Paul,

Just a catch up on Cassie progress, she is doing well.   

 

We go to training classes every week and she is becoming more obedient but still likes to run for england when given the chance.   

 

Will send you some pictures as soon as possible, I do not know if you remember but she has got one white eyelash and one black, very distinctive and beautiful, we love her too bits, we have had a few minor hiccups put that is to be expected with a rescue dog learning manners all she really needs is to be shown the right way and she always follows Megan`s lead.

I often think of Mischea and wonder how she is doing ,she really is beautiful and diserves a good home where she can learn to relax and enjoy life   I am sure she will get there eventually,

 

That`s all for now,

All best wishes,

Margaret, Jeff, Megan and Cassie

 

 

Letter from Sammy, Amelia & family

To Paul and Sarah

Sammy is settling in now, he's only been here a day and he is acting like he's been here for years!   He settled in his bed very well last night and he's very affectionate to everyone in the family.   

Here are some pictures we took today, They are attatched to the e-mail.

From Amelia and Sammy

P.S can Sammy drink milk? I heard it was good for dogs.

  

  

  

 

Letter from Homer & family

Hi folks,.........Homer here.

Wanted to just say to you that I am grateful for the help and leg up in life that you gave to me, while I waited for my new home.  I was a little anxious when we first left, so decided to annoy the hell out of this new boss man by singing. Strangely, instead of being mad, he seemed to like it. I had a short walk in Coven while the car was filled up with something, and we set off again. I saw the Pennines which I haven't seen for a while, but we kept heading west and I could smell the sea. So I started singing again.

We had another stop at Warton where I had a pee and then drove the last couple of miles to Lytham, where they took me on some things called sand dunes. Great, just great.  Met two Collies, had a poo, well, you have to leave your calling card don't you. Don't know what happened next cause I fell asleep total flako in the back. 

Got to my new home and they let me loose to have a good root around the house and garden.  Oh Boy!!!!!! a pond. Well, you remember you told them I like water, well I just walked in and sat down up to my neck and started drinking. Boy that old party piece goes down well every time I pull it!   So to give me time to dry out a bit, the man person took me onto the beach. It was deserted and miles and miles of sand. I drank some more water, but its very salty. Won't try that again.

Currently, I am fed, watered, walked, and obviously loved, so life is sweet.  Apparently this man person has two grown sons who are coming up to see me soon.  Anyhow, must stop now, as I am laid down all warm and comfy like.  My eyes are getting heavy and life feels good.  So before I fall asleep which I intend to do toot sweet, I will say goodnight, thanks for rescuing me, and thanks for finding me my forever home. I shall have these two wound around my little finger within a week.

My only concern is that I appear to have an appointment with some ladies tomorrow at 10 am to get a good bath whatever that is.  Seems they bath you, dry you, comb you and generally spoil you so perhaps it wont be too bad.

Night night to you both, give my regards to all my mates down there and tell them that they will get their forever home soon and its definitely worth the wait.

Your old mate
Homer

Letter from Max and family

Hi Sarah and Paul, thought I would just let you know how Max is getting on, I know you like to hear.  We have had him for a month now and he is settling in very well. He is a lovely naughty bouncy bright eyed collie boy and we love him to bits.  Max's philosophy is:  if it doesn't move, it's mine and I'll take it, BUT!!!! if it does move, it's still mine, and I'll still take it.  I'm always losing my slippers!!  He is eating well and has even put on a little weight.  And he loves his bed (but he loves ours more!).

 

Max has made lots of friends, both human and doggie, and everybody loves him, we are so pleased that we have him.

 

Kind regards

 

Mel and Dave
