When Ian was leaving Frank Tara and Alfie were just returning from a walk and Alfie went daft when he saw Ian so he needs to dig his wellies out and get back over to walk Alfie and Lady Tara, obviously they miss their walks with him.

Oliver >> Posted: 22nd August 2010 Most people who know about Second Chance will know all about Oliver . This is " Our " Oliver setting of for another new adventure bless him. His folks Irene & Gavin have moved away from Dunfermline. So we won't have Oliver during the days when they were working, he will be a big miss at the kennels as he was very much part of Second Chance and has gone through so much.It will be two years on the 6th Sept since Oliver a very special wee lad was handed in at the gate about 4 months old and only weighing 3 Kilos a poor wee scrap who was sick every itme he ate anything.In all the following ops. ect: at the Dick Vets he never ever complained. He now gets fed through a tube in his side, and has come on leaps and bounds weighing in now at about 12 1/2 Kilos. So it won't be the same without him.However we are happy in the knowledge that he and his family will have lots more time to spend together.He has promised to bring his folks to visit often. Good luck Oliver not that you'll need it.you just take everything in yor stride and we hope Pete your new daytime carer loves you as much as we do, well he'll have no choice because you wind yourself round everyone's heart. Lots of love from Grannie Ena Grandad Frank xxxxxx Auntie Mhairi and Uncle Kevan and all who knew you here.xxxxxx
