Letter from Max (now Jack) & family

Hi there,

Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for putting up with us all on Saturday and to let you know that so far Max (who is very quickly becoming known as Jack - he is like a jack in the box) is settled in brilliantly, he appears to love the other three and them him. Infact they were all asleep on the way home before we got back on the A14 and just look like they have been together forever!

It is his first day at the office today so we'll see how that goes but looking very positive we went up to the stud yesterday but he wasnt phased by it as long as he gets cuddles and to play he doesnt seem to care where he goes.

Will be sure to stay in touch and again
Thank you
Shirley, Jack, Skippy, Max + Wilma xx

Letter from Doc (now Ralph) & family

Hi we adopted Ralph 4 years ago from you he was called Doc then. He has been great source of pleasure, with buckets loads of love to share.

I have been ill for last 2 and a half years and when i have been bed bound he has been on bottom of bed keeping watch!

Letter from Betsy (now Tess) & family

Hi!

I thought that now Betsy, or Tess as she is now called has settled in extremely well. House training proved to be a doddle (so far) with only one real mistake on her part. On two other occasions she showed her intelligence by peeing outside the downstairs toilet while I was in there. She soon cottoned on to the fact that this was not welcome!

She is extremely good both on the lead and off and proving to be quite a social creature with both dogs and humans. She has already decided that she is the leader of our local walking group. We are told that she has already gained quite a fan base in the village.

We still have to heave her into the car. we are hoping that, when she realises that nice things happen at the end of car journeys, this will be less of a problem.

Anyway, so far so good. Thanks for such a beautiful and affectionate new friend Here are a couple of shots out walking.

Letter from Kerry & family

Hi Sarah and Paul,

Just thought i'd email you and let you know how Kerry's first day went. She has settled down at Jill's very well and is getting on with her 2 dogs. She will be meeting our labrador a bit later. She slept well last night without any worries and my mum and I were rewarded with a special Kerry smile when we went over to see her today.

My Gran will be taking Kerry back to Frinton on Wednesday.

Will send a picture once she has settled in at her new home by the sea.

Letter from Mischa & family

Hi  Sarah and Paul

Just a quick note to update you on Mischa - can't believe I've had her nearly a year!

What a change - she is such a little smasher and quite beautiful.  She is also very forceful with lots more confidence and sooo affectionate - she adores being cuddled and doesn't stray very far from me at all.

She now sits happily outside the stable in the yard with Meggy my other BC whilst I muck out and doesn't blink an eye when the farmer or his wife ride past on their bikes - this is such a big step forward for her - it was all so very scary and until quite recently, she would hide inside the tack room too scared to come out.  She loves lolling on the sofa but is always ready for a walk - these past few weeks have been lovely when we go up to the horses at around 5.30 over the back fields.  Such a change from the harsh winter we have endured - although she loved the snow!

I have enclosed a couple of pics for you and would just like to say a big thank you for the work you did with her, and for letting me have her. 

Love from Sue and MischaX

PS - We will see you at your show later in the year!

Letter from Peggy & Jasper & family

Hello everyone!

Peggy and Jasper are doing very well in their home.  The vets helped them get over their cough in no time at all, and we can't believe how well they've come on!

Both Peggy and Jasper have put on a lot of weight, and how tall Jasper has grown!  He looks like a colt with his long legs - he is as tall as Peggy now, but with a longer tail!   Their coats are lovely, shiny and soft as silk too, having plenty of space to roam and lots of walkies.

Jasper has finally learnt how to be a puppy and cannot stop playing!   Peggy does well to tolerate him and has become quite a puppy herself enjoying a good game of wrestling!
They both remain almost inseparable, sleeping together and keeping within eye sight of each other.   They have both become quite cheeky too, getting paws on any food or chewable things when possible!

Jasper still can be a bit of a scaredy-cat at times with crowds and unusual things like bikes, but he's becoming a Lion slowly but surely!

Peggy is a cuddle monster, and still as creepy-collie as ever - although she's not keen on being smothered she will do anything for a pet and will quite happily sit on Jasper if he's getting the attention and not her!

Here are just a few of the many photo's we have already taken of them both!

We will keep you updated and send more photo's later with how big Jasper is growing.

Lots of love

Peggy, Jasper and the Hayne Family
