Well Chips went off to his new home yesterday,his " dad " had been up walking him and taking him out for a fortnight so he knows his folks quite well, and has had a great night settling in greatl.xx

I went to my new home yesterday, it's fab here everyone loves me. here are some pics of me in my new home do you think I look happy I love my new home. Ps: Ena added one of me taken at the kennels so there wouldn't be a blank space, xxx LOL Love Gem xx.

Well I have landed on all four paws now, ( not with Frank though ) This is my new folks who are so nice they came to see me yesterday, fell in love went and brought their boys down, they also loved me. My folks came back to see me today Sarah did a home visit while they were here to make sure they had a secure garden. Passed with flying colours so this is me getting ready to go home, Ena says the rest of my life starts here love Gem xx.

Benji is now in a lovely new home, and doing ever so well. He was sitting up on the couch beside his mum all the time we were sitting having a cuppa, the minute I got the camera out down he came !!!Still managed to get a couple of pics though. Even though his ears got in the way !!! xx

Hi Ena

Hope all good with you. A few photos attached to let you see Jess now that she is all grown up! She is almost 13 months and is a bit smaller than we thought she might be (she still hasn’t grown into her ears!). She is such a sweet little girl. She still has a problem with some dogs when we are out and she gets nervous aggressive, however, once she gets to know the regulars we meet she snuggles up to them then rolls on her back with her legs in the air! She is so loving and sensitive. We actually think there is Jack Russell in there somewhere. The fact that she is smaller than a regular collie and some of the things she does, like springing in the air on all four legs. When I saw the picture of Rusty, one of your recent residents, it fell into place, she looked so like him. I am busy trying to re-seed the grass after a winter of her and Jake making it their career to destroy it! Now that I have started working in the greenhouse, so has she! She obviously thinks I've got too many plant pots in there and that they would look better if they had some more holes in them and were littered around the garden. She and Jake are such good pals, they are inseparable. We will pop along to see you sometime so you'd better have plenty sausages in!

Hi Laura,

Thanks for the update on your guys.

Jess is looking great as is Jake, love the photo of them on the couch !!! and yes always plenty sausages lol xx

Bonnie & Ruby also came today. Pam adopted Bonnie from us when she was 41/2 months and she is now 15 years old and looks amazing.Wee Ruby was the mum of our Cavalier puppies three years ago.Unfortunately wee Ruby has just undergone a big op,is still going for scans ect. she is looking good you would never know she had such a big op. Both dogs doing well xx.We wish Ruby well as she recuerates xx.

We had a few visitors today it was great, love seeing our past residents (oops starting to sound like a broken record ) but I do love seeing them

Wee Teasle is now Pheobe and doing really well, her folks have a video of Lily and Pheobe on the beach. So lovely to see her enjoying life with her big sis Lily xx Hopefully her folks will send it to us so we can put it on the web site.x Couldn't resist this photo of them both xx

Well this wee girl didn't have to wait long for her new mum to come along, Gill is absolutely delighted with her new wee girl and vice versa.This was fate as Gill called to ask if she could come along for a chat about adopting a wee dog, and by the time she came along Snowy was here, and the rest is history xx.

Snowy's mum sent us this on her first night at home x

He sends his love to all the other doggies and staff at Second Chance Kennels for rescuing him and finding him his forever home here in the Smith house. Hope all are well with you guys and the doggies!! XXX

What a lovely surprise today Maggie and her folks came to visit, They are down in our neck of the woods for a couple of days, they stay up in Aberdeenshire so it was great to see them. Maggie is nearly 10 years old now , and still looks and acts like a youngster.
