KYE / Week 1
Monday 21st February 2022
Kye Week One Kye has settled in very well and is enjoying the companionship of the dogs, over this past week he has learned to relax in play and plays well... Sleeps sound at night downstairs , eats well and looks forward to meal times eating in the kitchen with the dogs and will sit and wait until his name is called. Outside we have allowed him to explore and play..at the moment its all about him getting to know and trust us and vice versa! I discovered he was quite anxious when first out for walks constantly looking up at me or looking back... not keen on the vehicle and when asked to jump in on day 2…
KYE
Wednesday 16th February 2022
New boy Kye arrived yesterday aged 2years 6 months … We were asked early January for help but at the time I had quite a few dogs that I had to honour and rehome before taking in anymore … we were contacted again 10 days ago as they were concerned for their safety and his future …. Kye has come in with a bite history, fear aggression and separation anxiety… For the next couple of weeks he will learn how to be a dog, learn to play and interact with a well balanced pack and watch how our dogs interact with us and us with them … Completely de stress in a calm household with firm boundaries...! Last night…

Ivy has settled so well into her new home on the moors and Is having a wonderful time.. Her home is with a couple who have in the past had setters, Spaniels and Terriers .. so are knowledgeable of the breed . Ivy loves the freedom she now has not to mention comfort and will never want for anything … Having worked with 3 hind limb amputees in the past I have to say Ivy was just incredible .. she healed so quickly, her coat grew back quickly over the surgical area..

BERRY
Wednesday 2nd February 2022
Berry has a home for life to settle, be loved and pampered in luxury..a style she is fast becoming accustomed to..and why not! (You may remember Berry one of the two dogs found in Watford in a very poor state...overbred, severe loss of hair on her body especially around her rear and very thin....) Her coat is now sleek and very shiny and those bald areas are almost fully covered! This lady fell in love with Berry from seeing her first post having had three spaniels and sadly losing two last year leaving Cosmo a bit lost and down and since Berry's arrival he has become his old self..It was also important Berry was with another dog. Berry your…
Tommy
Tuesday 1st February 2022
Tommy is currently out on trial.. A fabulous dog that needed someone to help him be the dog he was bred to be ..and in the right hands has the potential to be a fabulous working dog … End of season makes way for a great project to prepare for next season ! Totally unsuited to a pet home and as I said issues were developing within the home hence the reason he came to us … Bred as a working dog …it’s in his genes ! Tommy has a lot to learn .. a blank canvas… Hopefully he will become a part of this pack that he has fitted in very well with. From little seeds for…

General update
Wednesday 12th January 2022
This month is very busy and costly , Ivy and Holly have both been spayed and are recovering very well..Ivy also had a mammary mass removed which did not look healthy so have been awaiting the results … Thrilled to say it is benign and was completely removed at time of spay … Berry went in for Dental surgery as her teeth were not great. She has a slightly undershot jaw and had 12 teeth removed. Amazing the difference it has made enabling her to open her mouth and she is so happy ! it has not affected her appetite and is currently on soft food for the moment ! Berry will be spayed once she…
