Letter from Paddy & Ruby, & family

Hi Paul and Sarah,

Hope everything is well at Wiccaweys.

Thought you’d like an update on Paddy and Ruby.

They settled in immediately – like they’d always been here.

Ruby is now getting a little tummy, but she’s very preoccupied with the chickens and ducks and “works” all day at the pen! We are slowly teaching her to have fun and not to have to work all day long, as we’d like to be able to loose the chickens out to range again. Her eyes are no longer crossing as she slowly unwinds from her ordeals.

Paddy is a fabulous pup – growing bigger as each day goes by. He’s a happy chap and is fazed by absolutely nothing! He’s made lots of new friends with dogs and people alike in the neighbourhood and is loved by all.

The pack is very comfortable together and we love having them as part of our family, albeit we are getting up quite early as we have visiting foxes that waken Paddy at about 5.30 and he feels he needs to join in their barking – LOL!

We’ll keep you posted with progress reports.

Love Ian, Shelley and the rups.

Letter from Sophie & family

Hi Sarah and Paul,

I hope all is well at Wiccaweys, it has been also a year since we adopted Sophie from you so I thought I must send you an update! (I'm sure you must remember her with being the former hermaphrodite!!)

She is a brilliant dog and it makes you realise how rewarding rescuing a dog is. This dog goes on more holidays than I do and seems to be made for traveling in the car! She's so beautiful, obedient and loyal we really couldn't have asked for a better dog.

What prompted me to send this quick email was going to a charity dog show organised by Capable Canines at Catton Hall. There was the usual agility there but this weekend they were running fun classes. Sophie entered a few and came 2nd out of 40 dogs for the 'best eyes', 3rd out of 35 dogs for 'beautiful bitch' and got 4th place for 'best rescue'. Definitely a great day and Sophie made lots of new friends! I've attached a few pictures for you.

Best wishes

Sophie and the Crowson family xx

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Letter from Scrunchie & family

Hi Gary and Alison here, Scrunchies’ new parents.

As you can see by the first pics he has settled in OK. We found out what you meant about his escape skills. He was on top of the microwave trying to open our kitchen window. He is now crated when we go out until we can trust him. He gets very frighten at corridors and doors if there is anybody in the way. He also seems to forget who we are in the mornings and goes through the getting to know stages every day. Hopefully this will wear off in time. He won’t go for a wee or Pooh unless he is on the lead, Is this something you know of?

Don’t forget I would like to join your forum and I will stay in touch with more details of Scrunchie and how he is doing.

Regards

Gary and Alison Long 

Letter from Matty (now Alfie) & family

Morning Sarah & Paul,
 
Just wanted to let you know the first couple of days went well, Alfie settled right in much to our delight. It looks like the new bed has gone down quite well but not as much as Tilly's ball pit! lets just say Tilly isn't the only one who likes to hide in the Pink Princess Castle tent... lol
 
So far all 3 nights have gone very quietly and yesterday morning there wasn't even any presents to greet me on the floor, he really is such a lovely chap and we really are very lucky to have him.
 
He has had a poorly tummy but his current course of treatment (chicken & rice for all his meals) seems to be a burden he is willing to put up with! lol
 
He appears to have settled in really well and is making himself at home coming and going as he pleases, he is a hit with the rest of the family and we really appreciate you letting him join our little clan. He will be very much loved!
 
Thanks for making us feel so welcome, have included some pictures of his first day in his new home...
 
Lisa, Andy, Tilly & Alfie

Letter from Merlin & family

Hi Sarah and Paul,

 

Hope all's well there.  Have been on the website and looks like you have a right houseful at the minute!  

 

Merlin continues to be a superstar here and has settled right in to a routine of runs and walks and kips and play, and even obedience training when a bit of cheese is involved.  We've had a few emails back and forth with Brian - lovely man - and have let him know he's very welcome to meet up with Merlin at any stage if it suits, and we'll keep him updated with pics etc. 

 

Just wanted to say if you need any more homecheckers round these parts I'd be happy to volunteer?  Jennifer was great when she came round and of course it meant that we could take the next step in adopting the wee chap, so if it's useful do be in touch.

 

All the best,

 

Lynne

Letter from Rossy & family

Dear Sarah & Paul

We adopted Rossy over 2 years ago now and it has been some time since we kept you up to date. We hope you remember Rossy although it must be difficult with all the dogs that pass through your hands.

Rossy is the most faithful, gentle, obedient and intelligent dog. We took him to obedience classes soon after we got him and at the moment we are going to agility classes which he loves and is doing very well. Unlikely you will see him at Crufts though!!!

Have attached a recent photo of him doing his weave.

Best wishes

Letter from LuckyWillow, Bob, Dylan and family

Hi Sarah and Paul,

 

All is fine here at Clevelode with our 3 pampered pooches . 

 

I have attached a photo of LuckyWillow and her miniature daschund cousin sleeping on the sofa... believe me when those 2 are together it's a rare sight worthy of a photo!!

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to know if you needed any help with 'homechecks'.  I know that you have Rae in the area, but just incase she is busy or you need additional help then I would be happy to.

It would be no problem for me to travel up to 40-50 miles.

 

Bob and Dylan are 4 years old this month!!

 

Take care

 

Love DJ xx
