Hi Ena,

We have just arrived at doggy heaven for the next 2 weeks. Completely enclosed walk and play areas, wow!. Penny loves being off lead, she is learning how to be a real dog, amazing difference in 2 weeks. Picture of her now looking really stressed ha ha x

Margaret thanks for the update there was me saying she might not play with Charley, she certainly looks tuckered out now, so happy for you all. Enjoy your holiday xx

Fudge xx >>
Posted: 10th July 2014

This wee lass has so landed on all four paws, Fudge never reached the web site Margaret came up the other day and just totally lost her heart to the wee girl. Fudge has never been on a lead or been in a house so everything is very strange to her. She will need to be treated as if she were a puppy again and take things step at a time.She will get all this with Margaret and Flick xxx

Fudge's first day and night, thank you xx

Hi Ena and Frank,

This is me in my new garden fifty mins after leaving you. Have not
eaten much, and did not go to the loo, but after a long and curious
and couriouser day I slept in my new bed in the bedroom with my
blanket. I was very good and lay wearily all night. Up at eight and
went to the garden and toilet, aren’t I clever!
So much to investigate, I even managed a growl at Sammy starling, but
okay now as so many birds around. The world is a truly wonderful new
experience, so my love and heartfelt thanks for getting me a new life,
see you soon.
Love Fudge Nelson-Greenfields.
Thanks too from my co-owners Margaret and Flick.
PS. We all hope Fern will be placed in a lovely home soon. I am
sending you some photos, one is from the kennels on Tuesday, the other
50 mins after arrival, beside fence and another in my bed 30 mins ago,
and of me exploring my new garden and relaxing in the sun

Milly xx >>
Posted: 10th July 2014

Maureen & Brian came to visit today with Milly their lovely Labrador, what a shame felt sorry for them, the journey that should have taken just over an hour took them 21/2 hours due to all the road closures ect for T in the Park !! However it was lovely to see them and the brought lots of items for the thrift shop in August. Milly is looking great her folks just adore her. xxx

Judy and Daisy xx. >>
Posted: 9th July 2014

This is us getting ready to go home,our folks are so delighted with us and we have a knee each how good is that. It's great that we have been kept together too. We would both like to thank auntie Sandra (Dapper Dogs ) who comes along and grooms any dog who needs it.She's a wee star Ena & Frank say.So must go we've been promised a lovely walk. Love Judy and Daisy xx.

Day 1 with our new Mum & Dad! After a good night sleep, where we slept in their own beds with no hassle at all. We got out about 8am, afterwards we bounded upstairs and ensconced themselves on Mum's bed. We almost licked her to death. DAd made tea & toast and brought it upstairs. Laying it on his bedside table, he went looking for the newspaper. Two minutes later he returned and asked where his toast had gone! I was good, but One look at Daisy, and they knew..... She'd scoffed the lot! What a hungry Horace she is! Later on were taken to get fitted for our harnesses. We were very well behaved in the car, but Daisy brought the walls down with her barking in the pet shop. There were a lot of big dogs, who weren't even looking at her, but she was probably nervous. Home for tea, and probably a walk with the new harnesses before bed. So far, so good! We're really happy and just love our garden! Will keep you posted Aunty Ena & Uncle Frank. Licks & Kisses. Xxx
Linda thank you so much for the update. XX For Judy & Daisy, who sound like their having fun !!

Honey ( was Rhum ) >>
Posted: 9th July 2014

Hi folks I never reached the website,well I wasn't supposed to, Ena and Frank were meant to be adopting me,even wee Alfie liked me.

Then Ena got a very sad phone call on Monday morning wee Susie the tiny Yorkie has gone to Rainbow Bridge, Mandy and Jim adopted Susie when she was about 11yrs old, she was such a needy wee soul but she got everything she needed and more with this lovely couple. Sadly they only had her for about two years but what a wonderful two years it was for Susie.They are heartbroken at her passing, RIP Susie xx

They can't stand the house without a wee four legged friend.So now its my turn to be spoiled. I will have a wonderful life and stay near the beach now. Love Honey ( my new name ) xxx

Charlie xx >>
Posted: 29th June 2014

Hi there,
Just wanted to update you on Charlie, I adopted him roughly 2002/3 and he's been with me and Becks (our other k9 companion) ever since. He's still a lively lad despite his advancing years and we live in Northern Ireland now, with the beach on our door step. He loves nothing more than swimming and sunbathing as you can see from his photos.
He is one of the best things in my life and I love him very much.
Thanks to Second Chance Kennels for uniting us.
Sharon, Charlie and Becks xxx
Talk about a blast from the past this wee lad was adopted from us on 20/10/2003 he was only 12 weeks old. Hehas grown into quite a big handsome lad x

It's so lovely of his mum getting in touch to update especially as she is across the Irish sea now, with her " boys " thank you Sharon it means a lot xx
