Letter from Bonnie & Mum

Hi Sarah and Paul   I sent you an email a while ago with some photos of Bonnie but something went wrong and you were unable to access them so i am going to try again as we have some nice ones of her in the snow (although im sure youve had lots of snow pics already!)   We had another wiccaweys pup come training on Thursday evening her name is Audrey, including Bonnie thats the 3rd one ive met, nothing compared to the volume you rehome but it amazes me how much of a small world it really is!   Anyway Bonnie is still doing very well, she had a few threats that santa wouldnt come if she ate the christmas tree whilst i was assembling it but now up shes left it alone. She has been thorougly spoilt with pressies from everyone at the vets where i work as well.   Anyway have a gd xmas and new year   Helen Kibble and Bonnie

Letter from Paddy & family

Hi Paul and Sarah We are absolutely over the moon with Paddy, who we got in July - he is fantastic!!  Please could you add the attached letter to the appropriate forum, he wanted it to be on there before the end of the year. Paddy is also on Youtube, would it be possible to add the link? It is a short video of him in the snow.    It is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0iGSiR1r5E If not I can send a photo of him to go on. I would really like the video to go on there though if poss. Thanks so much for contacting us re Paddy - he is a beautiful boy and we love him so much. All the very best to you both Tyne and Linda (and Paddy)

Dear Paul and Sarah

I wanted to let you know before the year was out how I have gone on in my new forever home.  Please can my letter be put on the Forum Page so others can see it?

Do you remember me, my name is Paddy… I was very thin and scared when I arrived with you from Ireland.  I was born in March 2009 so I am only young still.

Well, I was soon snapped up once I had come to you and on 10 July, a very hot day indeed as I remember, upon returning from a walk with one of your helpers, I was greeted by two lovely ladies who hailed from the Wirral.  I was rather nervous at first because it was so difficult for me to trust people again after the abuse I had received from an Irish farmer.

We travelled back north and I wondered where on earth I was going this time.

Well that was five months ago now and I am delighted to tell you how HAPPY I am.  When I was adopted I couldn’t even be chipped because I had no flesh to put the chip in.  I have now put weight on and grown muscle too. The vet is very pleased with me.

Very soon after arriving at my new home I developed kennel cough but with love, care and attention I soon came through that and I have never looked back since.

I didn’t like going out of the house when I first arrived, unless it was into the garden. I was too scared to go for a walk because I wondered whether I was going to be dumped again.  Anyway, my two mums reassured me and over the weeks I began to realise that going out meant WALKIES!! I love my walks – well I run everywhere actually – but I am always keeping an eye on my mums to make sure they don’t get out of sight.

I absolutely love to play; the living room is like a dog toy room here; and I am promised more for Christmas!  It will be my first proper Christmas and I can’t wait.

Living here with me is my friend Bella the cat – she is fine and we get on really well.

I am so happy!!! My mums are over the moon with me and life is wonderful.  Thank you so much for finding me my forever home – I can’t thank you enough.

Just so you can see me now, I am attaching a short video of us playing in the snow.

I hope my letter can go in the Forum along with letters from other Wiccaweys dogs.

Lots of love

Paddy

Letter from Dottie (now Kate), Abbey & family

Hope you and the canines had a pleasant Christmas we changed the pups name to Kate {Andrea felt uncomfortable shouting Dottie) it sounded like an elderly relative had escaped ;)

Kate  as you can see settled in nicely and abbey has started to play although her growls are somewhat unconvincing when her tail is wagging thank you again for providing a perfect

Addition to our family

Kind regards

The Huxley family

Letter from Milo & family

Hya Auntie Sarah and Uncle Paul,

 

Me again - do you like my piccie in the snow.  My mum and dad say I'm a right character - could be cos I ate half a tennis ball the other day and was VERY poorly - well I couldn't help it could I?  It did taste good tho he he!

 

Mum and dad say they really love me and I love nothing better than laying with my dad on the rug in front of the fire - now that's what I call just fantabidozee.

 

Lots of love to you and your volunteers and all my four legged friends

Letter from Dexter & family

Dear Sarah and Paul,

Just want to give you a quick update on the lovely Dexter and to say thank you so much for this beautiful little boy.

Dexter is absolutely adorable and settled in very quickly with the family - although the cats are non too pleased and he has had a couple of 'dobs' on his nose from Mary; the other three just scarper, which, of course means a short chase but he doesn't get too far on the tiled floor and doesn't venture upstairs.  Mary, now knowing he is bit of a softie will view him from a chair in the same room and he now ignores her.

I've certainly walked off the Christmas calories, helped with having to throw and retrieve the frisbee myself goodness knows how many times, with Dexter bounding along beside me!!   Boxing Day evening, 9 of us and Dexter went to a nice pub and he happily sat alongside our eldest son who had taken control of the lead.  We were then surprised to see him a little while later standing behind our son-in-law up at the bar when he went to get a 'round'.  Dexter had been sitting beautifully quietly chewing through his lead!!

His tummy has been a little 'dicky' but I did half expect that following the goose he had been sneakily given and other lifestyle changes.

Later on we are at the vets for microchipping and we should be starting obedience training next week.

Mark, Beth and I would be very interested in joining you for 'understanding your collie' talks if you are running them in 2011.

A very Happy New Year to you.

Helen (Ledingham)

Letter from Shep & family

Hi there, it was exactly a year on the 21st since we collected Shep from you.  thought you might like to know that he settled in in no time at all and is doing fine as you can see by his birthday picture.  we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for letting us adopt him  the hours of fun and enjoyment are never ending.  all the best  Steve, Sara and Aaron from Market Harborough

Letter from Rosheen & Mum

Wishing you and your collie charges a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

 

Love

 

Rosheen (collie) xx

 

PS:  I'm not very well at the moment - the vet says I have the doggie version of Labyrinthitus and I feel very giddy, but hope to feel better soon.
