RESCUE 'Happy Endings'
We all love happy endings and just thought we'd like to share a few with you below!
"FREDDIE"
Freddie is doing very well and each day becomes more of a true Staffy, i.e. thinks he is human!!
Bonfire Night last year, along with NY Eve was the only trauma as Freddie is really scared of the fireworks, he was so stressed and nervous.
I do believe though he was the most spoilt dog at
Xmas and this will be repeated when we celebrate his "birthday" next week!!
We can not belive the difference in Freddie compared to one year ago, his character is so lovable and his looks are far better then Brad Pitt!!
Here are some more photos of his recent
adventures....Toni, Hayley & Freddie x
"DYLAN"
Please find enclosed some pictures of Dylan
He has settled in remarkably well up to now, and really become one of the family as we had hoped. He gets plenty of walks and plays really nicely with the boys (in HIS garden!!), and is enjoying obedience classes where he has made plenty of new friends. Dylan has become quite the local celebrity, he is greeted first and me second and loves any attention that comes his way.
"ZAK"
Just to let you know that Zak is fine. He seems really settled now. He has even stopped chewing things most of the time. He doesn't seem put out at all that he is left most days for part of the day. My job enables me to come home and check on him if I've got a really long day my husband takes him to work, unfortunately he has to stay in the car but at least he can see what's going on and gets let out now and again. In an ideal world I would stay at home all day with him but that's not possible. Anyway I always take him out for at least an hour every morning and a long run every evening. I can let him off the lead and he comes back to me when called unless he sees another dog and then he likes to go and say 'hello'. I dont allow this to happen if I see the dog first I put him on his lead. He is very friendly towards other dogs but if I don't know them I keep him on the lead. There is a cocker spaniel down the road whom he is very good friends with and they play until they drop. (It's great to see them together). I have been trying to get the book Ultimate Staffordshire Bull Terrier since you recommended it but have had no luck. I ordered it from Amazon but they could'nt get it I ordered it from W H Smith and they have just told me I need to go and get my money back as it is no longer being published. I don't suppose you know of anywhere I could get a copy?
I suppose you still have lots of dogs needing homes, it must be heart breaking seeing all these unwanted animals. I am so glad i contacted you last year found Zak he is a super little dog. Thanks!
"BARNEY (WAS 'BOB')"
Well, we've had a fun day and it's going great thanks. I've attached some pics of Bob for you so you know he's still alive after his first round with the biggest cat 'Goliath'!
He's realised that the cats are in the back room behind the puppy gate but he doesn't go there every time we go into the hall so this is good. At one point though Goliath was coming up the hallway when we opened the door from the living room. So Bob, coming out of the living room met Goliath face to face. Bob did chase Goliath to the end of the hall but then goliath turned to face him at the end instead of going through the gate. They stood and looked at each other then Bob moved forward and Goliath hit him so Bob backed off and the cat, instead of going through the puppy gate, went back down the hall so the cat was not the least bit scared. his tail was wagging. He wants to play, but is learning quite quickly what No means and I think within time will not have to be told to leave the cats alone. He comes away from the end of the hall when told to and I think the initial excitement of living with other animals will wear off. He sits and gives a paw (and you don't have to be holding a treat). He is the best! We've been for big walks and got some toys which he loves to play with.
"BARNEY"
Thought you might like to know that Barney has just one four rosettes at the Fete
Scruff Dog show at the weekend, including best dog, 6 best legs and paired with a pointer
a half of the best pairing competition. How he wasn’t a shoe-in for the most
beautiful eyes and wiggliest tail I have no idea! Local politics is all I can think of.
I demand a recount!!!!

Brodie is doing well and is eating properly now & has put on 3 kgs. of muscle,in fact,she's doing better than me out of this;we took her to norfolk recently & it rained leaving the paths muddy,it took one pull on the lead to slide swiftly on to my bum!on another occasion I sprained my ankle while walking her & later stood on one of her bones-ouch! I tripped over her at the weekend and fell over with a full watering can(ugh!) and i now have to go to the nurse for treatment.ok I admit it , I'm just clumsy. actually she's lying across both my feet now and keeping my toes warm.life is good.she's even made friends with some of the local dogs ,though she is still aggresive with strangers. we're taking her to dorset in a couple of weeks for a holiday and i'll try to get a nice photo to send you.uh oh now she's snoring! keep up the good work.

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or
treacherous, is his dog…he will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick
the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world…when all
other friends desert, he remains
