Letter from Matty (now Alfie) and family

Hi Paul and Sarah,
 
Alfie was 1 years old on Saturday so I thought Id check in, hope everyone is well your end...
 
Well what can I say about Alfie.. aka Alfie Moon or the Moonman!  he has come along way since you last saw him back in July last year. 
 
He got a bit too excited and interested in the squirrels a couple of months ago and lost me, after some initial panic I went back to the car and there he was.. sat waiting for me! I'd only just started showing the car and parking in the same place a couple of days before but there he was... found his way back! such a clever chap :O)
 
He is so good it makes me really proud when I see him around older and less well behaved dogs, we are looking into agility at some point as he can bounce higher than any dog I have ever seen and the speed he runs at he needs something to use all that energy (just got to nail him sitting in the same place for more than 2 seconds.. lol he does have ants in his pants)..
 
He and our almost 2yr old daughter Tilly are the best of friends.. they have such an amazing relationship and chase each other round and round and round.. u get the picture! lol
 
attached are a few recent piccys including one from his birthday
 
best wishes to all
 
take care
 
Lisa, Andy, Tilly & the Moonman :O)

Letter from Bella & Mum

Dear Sarah and Paul,

As it is now a month since I brought Bella home, I thought you'd like an update.
She's a gem and I'm besotted!  Everybody has fallen for her sunny, friendly nature including all the dogs we meet up with on our walks.  She is SO intelligent and quick to learn and constantly makes me laugh. 

Lots of the container plants have gone AWOL as she loves to triumphantly bring me the vandalised pots they were in, but I just laugh and she throws herself at me for a love and cuddle. Hopefully you will get a couple of photos as an attachment but I'm not very good at this hi tech stuff.

Thank you once again for letting me adopt her - we'll come and visit in the old camper sometime.
Love
Lin Corrie and Bella x

Letter from Mandy & family

Dear Paul and Sarah,

Hi! I am settling in very well now and really enjoy my new walks and looking out of the gate. I am not afraid of jumping into the back of the car now as it means we go for a walk along the riverside or to the park. I like the walk through the woods too. I sleep in my crate at night in the kitchen and mum is very pleased because I wag my tail at her when she comes down in the morning. I have a corner in the lounge and a special mat where I like to lie. I am very clever, learning to sit at the roadside. I am a very happy dog. I will write again soon.

Love from Mandy

Letter from Shay & family

Hi Paul and Sarah

Just to say thank you for your help today and giving us the lovely Shay!

He was wonderful on the trip home and made himself right at home when he arrived.

He is now fast asleep and dreaming (lips and legs flapping) on his new bed, while Flo is fast asleep on the sofa!

Shay and Flo have had a sniff of each other when they thought we weren’t looking!

Thank you once again and we will let you know his progress.

Best wishes

Sue Craig and Flo

Letter from Taff & family

Hi Sarah and Paul
This is for the updates on adopted dogs page.
Hope you can use it.
Deborah


We are just coming up to the SIXTH anniversary of Taff coming to live with us. From a timid, jumpy, bundle of nerves he has transformed into a dog who loves everyone. He is calm and friendly and makes new best friends of complete strangers when out for his walks in the country.

He is the gentlest, most loving doggy soul, loves his fuss and attention, enjoys life to the full and is totally adored by the whole family.
His only fault is that he hates bikes and tears after them, snapping at wheels and heels. Some cyclists take it better than others...!
Six years ago we were wondering what on earth we had taken on, but lots of love, attention, patience plus support and advice from our good friend Aunty Sue have worked miracles (or is that because he is a vicarage dog?) He even enjoys going to the vet!! It was a proud day when he won the Best Rescue class in the local dog show.

Thank you so much Wiccs for letting us have Taff, he has brought us so much  fun, love, loyalty and laughter. (David, aka Taff's Dad, adds: and worry, expense, early morning wake-up calls, walks in the rain) Don't take any notice, David is as besotted as any of us!

Letter from Dexter & family

Dear Paul and Sarah,

 

Quick update on our beautiful young man.  Week 1 was the visit to the vet at Animal House for quick check up and micro-chip. All went very well - they reckon he is between 3 and 4 years old. He was as good as gold having his stitches removed.

The cats are slowly recovering from their shock and one of them is completely tolerant of him and slept in the snug with him last night!!!!  Three out of the four have worked out that if they don't run he won't chase!

Dexter is certainly keeping us fit and we have explored lots of lovely wooded areas, fields and walks around Rugby.   He is a delightful, rather soppy chap .  We start obedience classes Thursday!  Few pics attached of the last couple of weeks - he does like a rabbit hole!!

 

Kind regards

 

Helen, Mark and Beth
