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

Maureen & Brian West


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


Letter from Dingle (now Dino) & family

Hi there,

Just to let you know about Dino's progress.
He has now moved up to the Adult class at Dog Training and is doing really well.
We are taking him on holiday to Bournemouth, to the hotel we used to take Rudolph and which we visit regularly.
We are going on the 24th of July.Hope he likes the seaside!

Regards
Chris and Jen

Letter from Jean (now Gabby)

Hi All at wonderful Wiccaweys!
 
Apologies for it being soooo long since I last got in touch!!!
 
I am sooo much bigger now! I am nearly 10months old!
 
I am still as mad as ever before! I have my own little course set out in the garden for when I am having one of my "mad 5's".
 
I have been on lots of walks across all the fields in this beautiful weather, which has been lovely!
I have had lots of toys brought for me, and I love playing fetch, (which I just run off with the ball!)
 
I am fully trained at most things now, I am just learning "paw" and "beg". 
 
My favourite place to lie now is by the front door- but the silly postlady keeps making me leg it upstairs when she puts the post through the letter box because she scares me!!!
 
I had my own England shirt for the world cup- but I didn't bring them much luck!
 
I had a bath the other week and I got my upright more wet than what I was!!! Serves her right for trying to bath me!!!
 
I was helping the uprights clean the pond out not so long ago- I helped by keeping watch off the fish in the paddling pool.
 
Well. . . I will be off now- I think it's nearly walkies! :)
 
Speak to you soon!!!
Gabby (nee Jean) xxx
