Pippa
Saturday 29th February 2020
Beautiful Pippa is finally settled and very happy.... Her new best friend is called Daisy and the two girls are getting along great. Pippa is becoming widely known in the Parish she now lives as her Owners are The Vicar & her husband ... Pippa is now a regular at Church much to the delight of many. She will also be visiting the elderly giving them a source of comfort and I can see she is going to be a very popular little dog. I called round to see her this afternoon and was pleased she was so excited to see me but clearly showed her love to her new owners. You were a long time here little Pippa and now the world…

Incomplete Ossification of the humeral Condyle (IOHC) L leg is plated and Screw / R Leg is Screw Aside from a visit to the vet to remove stitches/staples Holly has been on complete rest. This morning she had an appointment with Dr Veerle Dejonckheere at Chapel Farm Rehab for the next stage of her Rehabilitation and the first of many appointments.

Maisey
Monday 24th February 2020
Beautiful Maisie with her new Owner, Family and relatives have all taken Maisie into their hearts... She has gone forward to a fabulous home where she will be trained up as a Working Dog and active on local shoots. She has not been phased by the Chickens, cats or kittens and has taken everything in her stride. This afternoon I called round and saw a very happy dog clearly devoted to her owner. It was important that Maisie was rehomed with another dog as on arrival here she was very shut down and being with other dogs gave her the confidence to move forward. Maisie was here for several months and in that time she grew into a confident beautiful girl. Maisie the…

Today it was Bella's day.....Isle of Wight We left home at 05:15 Hail, sleet & Snow! Hot coffee in vehicle at the ready! (and some goodies ;) ) Bella was a superstar on her travels..fussed over at the terminal by many and travelled well in the vehicle across the sea! Her family were ready and waiting having visted us last weekend and also brought their dog Carraig, the two dogs got along brilliantly. Bella is going to do agility (which I think she will be fab at) This is Bella who had Toxic Poisoning and If I am honest I thought we were going to lose her..... Bella fought a hard battle and won...She had a desire to live....and through the generosity of…

Bella came home mid afternoon full of life and acting a normal mischievous pup.. After visiting yesterday and knowing she was on the up I was worried about tempting fate and just hoped she would continue to gain strength. And I am so pleased she has. Verdict:- Poisoned by a mushroom Thank you to everyone for your continued support ...The appeal raised £3500 which is absolutely amazing and an enormous help towards both Holly and Bella's Vet Fees. Thank you

Buddy
Saturday 1st February 2020
Buddy did not quite make it with the The Police..He had the drive, totally ball focused but given the option of working or not...Buddy would rather 'Not' However.. An officers sister was looking for a Spaniel and had met Buddy and it was instant love ... This boy is a dog I could so easily have kept as he was/is amazing. He is loving his new life, his new family and has slotted in so well. I have been out to visit twice and he really has his paws well and truly under the table. Be happy Buddy, You are one Stunning Dog and we wish you a fabulous secure future.

I visited Bella this morning... Her temp. had come down a bit to 38.9 She is still not eating..and has lost a lot of weight.....from 13.2 to 10.8kg She is currently being fed by syringe.... I took her out for her toilet duty this am and walked her towards my vehicle which she sniffed out straight away...Inside were a few of her friends and there was a recognition and a wag of tail! Bella is weak and off balance understandably. She is currently on a cocktail of meds being fed intravenously... Very hard seeing her like this ..as she has had such a fabulous happy time with all the dogs and really enjoyed being 'one of the pack'.. This afternoon the vet…
Holly
Friday 31st January 2020
Holly had her stitches and staples removed from both front legs this morning They have healed well ..just one litttle area on the inside of her leg that she managed to get to and pull a stitch so that area was stapled this morning. Holly was a model patient..as good as gold. She will remain on crate rest with toliet breaks on lead for another 4 weeks..but walking in the garden she looks absolutely amazing.....Thrilled to bits with her recovery and the wonderful surgery done by Will Oldham at Hook Norton Veterinary Hospital
