Jess & Jimmy >>
Posted: 2nd November 2012

Hello Ena
I have been meaning to drop you a message for ages now to let you know that Jess and Jimmy are doing well in their forever home in Stirling. We can't believe they are both 9 years old now and that we have had Jess (previously Jenna) for 8 1/2 years and Jimmy for 5 years! Where does time go?
We discovered earlier this year that Jimmy, the Westie, has diabetes and has to have 2 injections every day. You are never too old to learn a new skill! He copes well with it though and I think the lure of the cooked chicken breast in his bowl helps us get the injection in.
Jess, on the other hand, runs away until the injection is over watching carefully from behind the bed until it is safe to come out. She has been a real treat of a dog. So obedient and loving.
I hope you are well and I see that you are still doing a great job in finding homes for all these dogs. What joy!
So nice to have a catch up.Thanks for the pics and story, sorry to hear about wee Jimmy but he looks great as does Jess, love the fire by the way xxxx

Our wee Dec. >>
Posted: 1st November 2012

Well it was a sad but happy day today, as our wee Dec who we have had for weeks, has gone to his new home. His mum has been up walking and getting to know him. Dec came into us very obese, weighing about 19 kilo's and we have managed to get some weight of him he now weighs 17.2 kilo's and his mum has promised NOT to give him treats and to bring him back to get weighed every fortnight. Lovely family and we know he will have a loving caring home. Not only that we have two new dog walkers, which is good.

This is Dec with his mum and two " sisters " all very excited at adopting our wee lad. xx

My mum came for me this morning, I was so excited I just couldn't sit still and there was no way I was taking my eyes of my mum, well she might have went without me. Didn't matter what Ena said I wouldn't look at the camera, so this is me with my mum giving her big licks. Lots of Love Rocky xxx

Hi Ena and Frank,
Just spoken to you Ena,so thought I'd send these pics whilst all of them are sleeping!!
He's a great boy! I'd love to know more about his background though,because there are a couple of things he's really scared of.
Bathrooms being one of them! It was awful seeing him like that.
He loves the train though.We often pop up to Kdy to see Mum,as Methven is right at the station.As for the beach,well,I should buy shares in the bloody place!!
It's been a hectic 10 days getting to know him,but after an awful year,10 of the very best

Thank you

Will come and see you all next week.Love Alison xx

Hi everyone just thought I would send you an update on me, this is me having time out !!!! and just one of my wee face awww, I have settled in so well and my mum loves me to bits, even though I still want to chase the cats, but I'm sure we will get used to each other in time, mum says she will bring me to visit soon. Lots of love Mac xxxx

Bonnie >>
Posted: 28th October 2012

I remember getting our dog Bonny from your kennels. She was very nervous and shy, and when i saw her i thought, right this dog needs lots of TLC and that is just what she has had for the last 15 years. But i am sad to say she is now very slow, has heart problems etc. But we make her as comfortable as possible and spoil her with all the love she can possibly get.

I would just like to say, thankyou for letting me have the most wonderful companion all these years and we hope we can keep her going a bit longer.

I have read your home page and it sounds like you give these lovely creatures such a lot of love. Until they are rehomed.
If the awful day should come that i should loose my wonderful friend, i and my family will, in time come to rehome another dog.
Margaret thank you so much for the update on Bonnie and the pics, she's lovely, its just so sad that like the rest of us they have to get old !!! I just love hearing from all our dogs xxx

Look who came to visit today " our Penny " who has a lovely new name Cassie, to go with her brilliant new home. She was such a malnourished wee girl when she came in, and to look at her now you would never have guessed it, her coat is like silk she has put weight on but most of all she is loved so much. Just made our day xxxxxx.

Mitch >>
Posted: 23rd October 2012

Just had an e-mail from Mitch saying "I'm Famous" xx

So glad wee man that you are so settled and happy. Just new your Mum & Dad were perfect for you. Love from Ena & Frank xxxx

Hi Aunty Ena and Uncle Frank Its Mitch here, sorry for the delay in writing, I have just been so busy with my new Mum Valerie, Daddy Andrew and my other Dad Bob, who looks after me during the day, right next door, so I really have two houses and two gardens which is just great. On Friday’s I go out with Nicky the doggie walker and meet up with other doggies, Nicky says I am a good boy – well what would you expect ? I have settled in very well and enjoying life, I have been on lots of new adventures and been to lots of nice new places and met some nice people. I live very close to the park and woods where I have made lots on new doggie friends, I really like Tilly, she is a lady about my age and I even share my ball with her J I have been to the beach lots of times which I just love, it is the best place on earth, but mum worries a bit when dad throws the ball into the water, but I am a great swimmer and love it. My dad took me to his favourite hill which was great fun. I have even been on my first holiday, we went to Aberdeen for a couple of nights, I got a bit anxious when I saw the bags getting packed up and my bed going in the car, but I soon settled down when I realised I was going on an adventure, we went on lots of walks and I got a new fancy ball to play with. We will go on another break very soon. Mum says I am more messy that her other doggies have been, she said Meggie was a proper lady and would walk around the muddy puddles, but apparently I am a real cheeky boy who will run through these puddles at full belt – well I have to catch my ball J The downside is with all this bad weather and all my walks I am going through lots of towels and that mum of mine insists on me getting a bath – can you tell her not to do that please, I don’t like it! I love the water at the beach, burns and the big puddles that have magically appeared in the park but not the bath! Here are some photos of my adventure so far, thank you for looking after me, I miss you both, but I am really happy here and we will come for a visit one weekend before Christmas so I will see you soon.

With paws, cuddles and big kisses. Mitch

Marley >>
Posted: 16th October 2012

Well this is me getting ready to set of to my new home,I managed with just a look of my big brown eyes to make my new owners fall in love with me. They needed to see if I would be okay around children so they went home and came back with their grandchildren Emma & Callan, who I was really good with. So home vist was done yesterday and this is me with my new folks and Emma and Callan who was a wee bit shy, but they brought me a special teddy and a poster welcoming me to my new home how nice was that !! Lots of love Marley xx . Ps: they have promised to keep in touch which went down really well with Ena as she loves to hear how all her past residents are getting on Xx

Posted: 13th October 2012

Well this is me getting ready to set of for home, my new friend is Tess I really like her, mum and dad are lovely too so I know this is my " Forever " home. Love Riley xx

Update on "Our " Riley ! Thanks for the update he is such a lucky boy xx



Hi Ena.

Just to let you know Riley has settled in great. Tess and him are playing together at pull. Where ever Tess goes he goes. He is also quick at learning things as well. His recall is getting better, and he can jump into the back of the car now. Doesn't mind other dogs sniffing him either. We've almost got the toilet training cracked. David and I kill ourselves laughing at some of the things he does, stairs are not his forte, he goes down more than up. He's booked in to be castrated on the 8th of November, with a bit of luck that will calm down his amour for Tess... She growls at him and he back off. I've more blankets here I'll see if I can bring them up next week sometime. Take Care for now
Love from
David Lynn, Tess and Riley.

Riley
