Merlin >>
Posted: 9th December 2013

Dear Ena and all,
Here are some pictures of Merlin who is very well and happy and a lot of
fun !
We were up today looking for a smaller dog for my daughter Margaret
who lost her beloved Bonny in February. She feels ready now if she can
find a dog who will get along with her adorable wee cat and she looked
at Brogar (?) but he was too big and boisterous and her fence is not
high enough for him anyway.
So we will keep looking.
With all best wishes,
Diana and Richard Neil
Hi Diana & Richard and of course the gorgeous Merlin,sorry I missed you and Margaret when you came to the kennels. I will certauinly keep an eye out for a companion for Margaret.
Merlin is looking great, obviously enjoying life with you and Richard. Thanks for the photo's will keep in touch re Margret.

Bailey / Oscar. >>
Posted: 7th December 2013

Hi Victoria,
Thanks for your kind words, Bruno was such a lovely lovely wee lad, he certainly didn't deserve to be treated so badly by his " owners " At least he's at rest now." What is it they say what goes around comes around "
On a lighter note just look at the photo's I think you could have had" A Bailey come Home" kinda film made. You would go a long way to get such attachment between a wee boy and dog !!! Thanks again for the update xx
Hi Ena
Sorry to hear about wee Bruno, at least at the end of his life he felt love and what it was like to be looked after! Thought I'd send you some pics of Bailey a the same time.
As you can see he loves his cuddles, the one of him and Oscar is Oscar had just fallen asleep and wee Bailey was just having his check on him - he stands with his head on the bed next to him (or wherever he has fallen asleep) for five mins then he goes and lies down himself for a sleep! It's so cute!
Lots of love
Victoria Steven Oscar and Bailey

Posted: 7th December 2013

Ena got a phone call today ( well that's nothing new) but this was a special one from Daisy's dad and mum offering me a new forever home. Daisy came with them and she really liked me and me her. So off I went to my new home yesterday afternoon.

Ena gave a wee call to see how I was doing and we are all doing really well.

Thanks to all who called offering me a home, but I'm now staying with Daisy who is also a Second Chance wee girl. Love Dougie xx. This is my sis Daisy, isn't she gorgeous even more so now, cause she goes to somewhere called a beauty parlour for dogs . xx.

Brodie >>
Posted: 4th December 2013

Hi Ena

Just a quick email to say Brodie is still doing really well and loving his forest walks with his doggy friends. He is a total sweetheart in the house and is always up for a wee game with the ball. He is one of the family now and the 3 of them get on brilliantly.

I have attached some pics for your gallery and we will try to visit you in the future so you can see how big he is getting!

Thanks again for giving us the chance to love him.

Hi Alan,

 

Thank you so very much for the update on Brodie, so he has settled in so well, we always say if we rehome a dog and he/she comes back and finds another home it is usually the BEST. Thanks a million and my he is getting to be a big lad.xx

Ena.

Izzy ( was Sally) & Maggie >>
Posted: 28th November 2013

Got a phone call last week from a chap, he and his wife have already adopted three dogs from us and given them such a brilliant life. Sadly the lovely Tess went to Rainbow Bridge last year followed by their beloved Sam this year.

Phone call went something like we are looking to adopt again Ena,but want to go for a smaller dog this time, I said I have a wee Jackadoodle sitting on my knee with her pal Maggie. So Jim said he would be interested in one, by this time I had put them on Homeless Hounds !! To cut a long story short Jim and his mum came over this afternoon, Frank and myself were out, bless them they waited about three hours for us to come back, so much so the wee ones were on Jim's knee, well bonded and never even got off to say hello to us.

So another happy ending, these two wee ones have gone to a wonderful home together, they will stay with Jack (Second Chance wee boy) and have a wonderful gran & grandad on hand to help as well.

Posted: 24th November 2013

Hi Jane thanks for the story and update on Ben love the photo's,so happy and pleased for you all. I'll need to look out for another star in the making in the agility / flyball world xx You look like one very happy Border Collie Ben,lots of love Ena & Frank xx.

Hi Ena and Frank it's Ben here!
Hope you are both well - time has just flown by and can't believe I've been in my new forever home for 6 weeks now!
Well I've been really busy having great fun and meeting lots of new doggies on my walks. I'm off the lead every day now cos Mum and Dad say my recall is so much better, and I really don't like either of them being out of my sight! I just love running and fetching my ball all day long.
I've met 2 collie friends, one of whom was a rescue doggy just like me at 18 months old and now can you believe he will be representing Scotland in the World agility championships in Italy next year!! His dad Euan is one of the obedience teachers at the local dog club where they do 'Good Citizen', Obedience, Flyball and Agility classes and we're hoping to go along to it soon now that I'm feeling well settled in to my new pad.
I hope you like these latest photos!
Love, licks, sniffs and hugs
Ben xxxxx

Frank and myself visited Shadow and his mum today, Grant was also there nice to meet him. Some of you may remember Shadow he was the older Border Collie who was found up Oriel woods in Kirkcaldy, thankfully a lovely couple found him and brought him here, he was in a terible state but when he came out of their car he wagged his tail and gave us, what we now call his Elvis smile. He had obviously been out for awhile in the heat wave we had in the summer, as he drank water for two days as if he was never going to see another bowl of water.We were a bit worried by this but had his kidneys checked and he was fine.However he did have terrible skin problems and had to have a few baths a week to help this. To cut a long story short his mum had seen him on the web site and just fell in love with him. She came and visited him a few times till he was ready to go to his new home.Uncle Ian our Home Inspector did the home visit and the rest is history.He still attends the Dick Vet in Edinburgh and also gets a lovely Spa bath every week, how pampered is he bless him. He looks great we got the most wonderful smile and a lovely welcome from him, of course wee Alfie had to go and see his pal as well.

Shadow your looking great coat shining has put a bit of weight on. Jinty thank you so much for taking such good care of " Our " boyHope he enjoys many more years with you and his pals at the park. xxx.
