Letter from Jess & family

Hi Paul and Sarah

Just to let you know Jess is settling in well.

Her first day in the office went well and she has made lots of new friends and a fair few people wanted to pick her up and take her home.

Big buses are not overly popular but she is pretty good with any other traffic.

This evening she had her first trip to the vets who has micro chipped her. She is currently snoozing on her new bed and seems to be settling in well and starting to play with her new toys.

Best wishes.

Mark

Letter from Boris (now Laddie) & family

Hi Sarah and Paul

Just a quick update on our beautiful Laddie (Boris as was).

We can't believe it’s only 4 weeks ago tomorrow since we came over to meet you all and left with Laddie looking out of the car window wondering what on earth was happening!

Well he has fitted in really well and we can't imagine our family without him. After a few' handbags at dawn' Bo-Bo (our existing BC) and Laddie are now fine together and our elderly Jack Russell accepted him from day one. He has settled into family life really well, sleeps in his crate and is very clean. The 3 of them are fine to be left and Laddie has claimed one of the sofas as his own. He is quite fascinated by Monica our 12 year old cat and does like to go on 'cat watching duty' but she gives him the odd cuff if he gets too close.

Thank you for your advice re his tendency to be a bit aggressive towards some of the dogs he meets in the park. We have worked really hard on this and he is already much better- he has made friends with a group of dogs (and their owners) who we meet up with most mornings. We did find out last week that he has BC attitude towards cyclists who get to close (!) but then footpaths are meant to be for pedestrians after all!

Hope you like the picture and thank you so much once again. We are hoping to do the walk in Peterborough next week end.

Love Lynn and Paul xxx

Letter from TJ & family

Hi, Sarah and Paul,

 

Well,  I got to hear about mum sending you a piccie of Dizzy (DeeDee) .... what about me, huh?

I mean I  know D is awfully cute and all that, but how dare she leave me out!
Afterall, I'm the 'man' around here  ... you gotta remember that!

Anyway, after I'd given her a real good telling off, she agreed to send you my latest pic ...
oh boy, I think I'm such a handsome dude, don't you?

 

Of course, mum has to take the credit for the grooming bit ... not too bad an attempt for an old duck like her right?

 

Hugs to you, Sarah, and a pawshake for Paul.

TJ.

Letter from Zak (now Sky) & family

Hello Sarah and Paul,

I thought I would let you know how Sky is doing. 

We got him from you in December, he was known as Zac, but we re-named him Sky, now he has really settled well, he loves playing and is starting to walk on the lead nicely without his harness !!

We have Guinea Pigs who he will  ' round up' , he is a lovely dog and fitted into our family very very well. 

Thank you.

Hopefully you will see the attached pictures !!

Best wishes

Letter from Dizzy & family

Hi there Sarah and Paul  ... hope you're both well.

 

Thought I'd let you have a piccie of me to show just what a lovely girl I am.

 

I really love my Mum, and perhaps one day another little old lady will come along that she can care for too.

 

Take care.

Letter from Beth & family

Just a quick hello and to say that Beth is doing brilliantly. The attached photo's were taken in a friend's garden - Nina, the Lab, was delighted to have such a good playmate!

We are both so thrilled with Beth and can honestly say that she seems really happy here - she seems either to be having a riot or asleep! I had her chipped today and she's clocking up lots of new experiences, all of which she takes in her stride.

Hope you are both well and not working too hard.

All the best, Claire and Andrew.

Letter from Buddy (now Jerry) & family

Hi Sarah and Paul,

On arriving home Jerry (Buddy) quickly made himself at home. He was visited by several members of our families and broke all of their hearts.  He didn't make a sound when left at bedtime and this has been the case ever since. Jerry was really well behaved when we visited the vets and was very good when he had his microchip inserted.  He loves the walks around here and is a frequent visitor to various parts of Sherwood Forest. Jerry is very good on his lead and waits on command when we need to cross a road.

Tom and Jerry (great isn't it) are the best of friends. They play together at every possible moment and Tom is really focused on Jerry. We do give both Tom and Jerry 'time outs' so Tom can get on with his routines and Jerry can relax a little. Tom has shown Jerry a lot of affection which is something that doesn't come naturally to him due to his autism. We cannot believe how good they are together. We really feel that we could not have a better dog for our family.
 
Thank you so much for helping us to find the perfect friend for Thomas.  Jerry has only been with us for a week but it seems like he has always been part of our lives. He is a much loved dog and we truly cherish every moment we spend with him.

Jerry is also famous as this week he has appeared in the Nottingham Evening Post and on BBC TV's East Midlands Today as we went protesting outside Nottinghamshire County Hall at the proposed closure of Tom's respite centre. He is a natural in front of a camera as you can tell from the attached pictures.

We will come back and visit you all soon. Remember us all to the wonderful Jack, the perfect greeter.

Louise, Ian, Tom and Jerry Ward
