Letter from Jack (nee Max) & Shirley

Hi Sarah & Paul,

Jack has started an agility course, although I have to be honest I don’t think we’ll be filling your trophy cabinet for you as we both get a little bit over excited!! But the boy loves it and can certainly fly round...

I got one of the spectators to take a few pictures of him so that you can see what we’re up to but the ones where he is flying round were too blurry to send lol

I can’t believe that it isn’t a year until July that he moved in, I can’t remember life before him now he just fits in so well it is like he has always been there – THANK YOU so much for putting us together.

Letter from Kane & Mum

Hi Paul

Glad Sarah is back home - hope you are succeeding in making her rest!

Kane is still doing well and is a great favourite with everyone he meets - except when covered in fox poo, which he has recently discovered. A few weeks ago, he found he could swim - sadly, immediately beforehand he found out that duckweed bears only a superficial resemblence to grass!  He looked so pathetic, soaking wet and swimming madly to the side of the lake.  He went in off a fishing stand so I had to haul him out.

When I am away overnight for football, he's been staying with Jan, one of the 2 walkers who take him out if I'm busy - he peed on her carpet the first time, but has since learnt where he is allowed to go!  He's also done a couple of overnights in kennels (before he was fully house trained) and was a great favourite there as well - he seemed to enjoy the experience, but then he does love other dogs.

I'm attaching a few photos of him, including one with his special friend Archie - I have loads more on my phone as Jan can't resist taking photos of him and sending them to me - and her friends.  A couple of months ago, I was having coffee up at Alexandra Palace when a woman I'd never met exclaimed "I've got a photo of that dog on my phone".  Turned out she was a friend of Jan's who'd received a pic of "this lovely dog".  Do you want me to text some of the phone photos - don't think the quality is good enough for email.

Today was a red letter day - he jumped into the car under his own steam - I've had to lift him in up to now

Letter from Bobby & family

Dear Sarah and Paul,

Hi ya!

Just a quick up date on the Mr. Bobbysox! (yes sorry, it has sort of evolved!) as am on the computer and finishing  the ironing doesn't  really appeal and I have been thinking about doing this as we walk each morning for sometime. No problems! He continues to be a delight and it's difficult to remember not having him around. He's grown/ muscled up and his back end is now almost 2 inches taller than Mads. They were about the same when he first came. He's a fruit cake on walks but hey we can cope with that and has made lots of new friends, human and canine, in the woods. With Mads tutoring, he is keeping the squirrel and deer population on their toes and ensuring they get plenty of  exercise. Such a happy chap! He and Mads are as thick as thieves and totally besotted, playing together endlessly and getting up to allsorts of mischief. There has been some unrequested digging in a flower bed on more than one occasion ("Looking for bones" said Mads!) and several plants have been relocated down the field! Hanging baskets for the summer me thinks! Yesterday I found the pair of them on the drive way surrounded by pegs. Peg bag and laundry basket half way down field. "Counting them mum" Mads said! "The chewed ones? we found them like that Mum!"

We love them both to bits! So thank you again for introducing us and please pass on our thanks to the lovely, caring lady who rescued and brought him down to you. It's so difficult to believe that a dog with such a happy, friendly, eager to please nature could have been abandoned, but I guess he isn't alone by any means! Keep up the good work!

Will keep in touch. Would love to send photos but sorry my ICT skills don't extend that far!

Take care

Penny and Tim, Maddie and Bobby x

Letter from Ruby Poodle & family

Hi Sarah and Paul

Some pictures of Ruby with Bertie.  She is a lovely dog and very much loved.

I hope Sarah is feeling a lot better and resting!!  Hard I know.  Broke my arm badly 6 weeks ago and ended up in hospital for three days.  I had to have plates and pins to mend the bone – worse part was they only gave me a local so heard everything going on not very pleasant.

I speak to Judy and Chic most weeks and Poppy is still doing well.  I still think of Monty every day – he was such a special dog it was so sad we had to lose him in such tragic circumstances.

Love to you both and take care

Lots of love Ann, Richard, Bertie and Ruby xx

Letter from Jerry & family

Dear Sarah &  Paul ,

thought id write you a quick letter to let you know how im getting on . On Sunday (15th May  2011) it will be a year since i was adopted and left Wiccaweys with my new family.

Im very happy and am having a lovely time with lots of walks and cuddles .

My Mum and Dad spoil me rotten and my Special brother Tom (if you remember he is Autistic ) makes sure i have plenty of exercise . We play ball together all the time infact hes always raiding my toy box and pinching my favourite toys but then again im always pinching his slippers !!!

I have two favourite places one is Sherwood pines forest and the other is the Seaside . I Iove running around the forest with Tom and chasing the squirrels and the Sea is great ,  i love swimming . 

I was chosen from Wiccaweys because i'm so special and because my family needed the right kind of friend for Tom, we get on so well but i understand that when Tom needs space and time out i need to go out of the way and play on my own for a while .

I am now 18 mths old and mum and dad are so pleased with me because i'm such a good boy always coming back to the lead and always sit down and wait before i cross the road they are always telling me how proud they are of me because im such a well behaved boy.

Thank you again for helping me to find my forever home and please keep up the good work in helping lots of dogs like me.

You and your helpers  are such special people

Must go now, my tennis ball is calling !!!!!!

lots of love

JERRY WARD & FAMILY  XXXXX
