This is Cleo with her mum and Olly ( who is another Second Chance wee boy) She has settled in very well into her new life with her family, just called about her and her mum says " She's a wee princess " so thats excellent news xx

Hi Ena and Frank

As promised, have attached some photos of our gorgeous girls! It's difficult to get them both together and standing still! They are settling in so well, it really is unbelievable how much they are opening up their individual personalities now. They are off the lead now and are great with other dogs. We took them to the beach yesterday and they adored the water! Blue was leaping in from the bank without any hesitation; Sky was a little more sedate! Both are great little swimmers. Sky is very much the 'mother' whereas Blue is a bit of the 'tom-boy' but they get on so well with each other. They love sniffing and running around together. They are going in on Tuesday to get spayed - not something we are looking forward to but it is a necessity. They have both certainly done their 'bit' with regard to having puppies and it is their time to be free. They love going out in the car; Blue falls asleep straight away on the back seat while Sky sits and drives - until that is she too falls asleep! They are just an absolute joy and we both love them to bits!

Hope all is well with you both.

Kindest regards

Alison and Reta.

Thank you so very much for the update on your girls, how settled do they look and it hasn't taken them long to get used to the good life, xx

Absolutely, still as mad as a box of frogs, but she now has a new playmate (a young collie/lab cross my mum agreed to rehome). Kizzie:

But she's looking great and yes she looks very mischievious so no change there then lol xx Thanks for the update on your lovely girl.

This is Buster with his new mum/dad he couldn't

stop washing their faces lol, he's well sorted as they are former Second Chance adoptees,sadly Sam passed away a few years ago and they now felt the time was right and Buster was the lucky one, we are so happy for him and them as they are such a lovely couple.and he will have a brilliant home xx

Wee Jack brought his folks Donna & Andy for a visit, it was great to see them and the wee boy minded where the sausages were lol. This wee lad certainly landed on all four paws when he went to live with them as he wasn't the easiest of wee boys but they love him what more can I say xx

Hi Ena, Penny is having a great holiday. She has walked miles and absolutely loves running around with Charley.

The weather has been really hot but she is coping with it better than the rest of us. Went to Helmsley yesterday and she had a bit of Dad's crab roll Mmm.

Takes us ages to get anywhere because people keep stopping us to admire her (think this has put cp's nose a little out of joint lol....)

Aw poor Charley she is just as lovely, so so pleased that Penny has settled in so well and obviously gets on great with Charley xx.

Another Penny update, this wee one is doing so well xx

Hello Ena,

Back from holiday in Harrogate. We all had a lovely time though the weather was extremely hot for us all (not a complaint of course).

Just to let you know that Penny was at the Vet's today. She's been spayed and had her teeth scaled and polished. We noticed that she had a wee mark on her left eye, so asked the vet to investigate while she was knocked out. Turns out it was an old ulcer which had heeled. She cleans her eyes with her paws and we think she maybe caught it with her dew claw which was really sharp so the vet has trimmed that as well.

She is currently lying beside me feeling right old sorry for herself, quite rightly so. She managed a little bit scrambled egg which is a good sign.

Take her back to vets on Monday for checkup. I will let you know how she gets on.

She is adorable.

Regards

Margaret x

I never reached the web site, my family came to visit as their lovely mum is looking for a wee older dog, then they all went away but came back later to see me that was Friday, fell in love ,Morag did the home visit and they came back for me on Saturday. their having to keep a good hold of me on the couch though so we could have a photo taken. Ena told them I would definitelay be work in progress as i haven't had any training and have no manners. They are talking about taking me to dog training classes !!! Love Rocco xx

Well I waited longer than most to find my " Forever " home,but just like Ena says all good things come to those who wait. I have now found a wonderful home and settling in well amd there's no cats !!! My family have adopted from here before sadly Frostie has passed on to Rainbow Bridge, and his family felt the time was right to adopt agai, and I was the lucky one this time. Love Murphy xx

Big Ben brought his mum & dad for a visit, he's looking great has put weight on and I could swear he's grown in height as well, his coat is more blonde now too,he is just a gentle giant and a credit to both Lucy and Matheu.Thank you so much for bringing Ben down to visit it was good to see him and you of course !! xx

Betty & Bob brought wee JJ back for a visit, he hasn't been too well, but certainly looked in the pink when he was here, he didn't even do bed and breakfast, his folks came to the kennels and JJ jumped on Bob's knee and that was it couldn't prise then apart. So he now has a wonderful life, great to see them all. xx.

Well "our" lovely wee Isla has secured herself a super new home, with Carolyn and her family. Have already had a photo of her settling in, she's on someon'e knee of course.

Isla new family are no strangers to Second Chance having adopted Molly as a puppy 11 years ago sadly Molly went to Rainbow Bridge at the beginning of the year, and I know she will be happy her folks have taken on another wee rescue girl.xx

Isla i'm sure would love to thank everyone who called offering her a home and there were so many, she had a regular wee fan club lol xxx

Ps: Look at the smile on that wee Isla's face xx

TwA Dugs!! Love of my life !!After a decent walk along the beach below Berwick,she maybe 12-13 but Breagh can still handle an 8 mile walk, not bad for a lady getting on in years.

Angus thank you so very much for the photo and update on "your girl's " Breagh and Bonnie look so happy obviously enjoying life at the Scottish Borders. xx

So, this is luna's birthday, her playing with her wee cousin Milo, and playing hide and seek at the meadies. She's taken to playing hide and seek lately, any wee gap in the hedges, bushes or trees and she finds it and goes exploring, meanwhile, we're looking for movement in the vegetation to track where she's going. Its like live action where's wally haha.

Happy birthday Luna.Had to be water though eh !!haha. She's looking so good thanks for the pics their very good xx.
