Hi Helen and all at DAWG!!!!
Well its been just short of a year now since I moved in here and I’m still happy :) My family are really nice (most of the time but they don’t give me enough sweets :@) and we’re having lots of fun together! I have been on holiday a couple of times which was really good, I liked going into the countryside and following my nose for miles but I wasn’t too sure about the sheep…..I thought they’d make good friends but Mum and Dad said ‘NO’!!!! I have been going to my training classes still and getting on really well, I got my puppy award and my bronze award and I got to be a calendar girl for the club too….I’m Miss June :) Mum and Dad took me to have my spaying done, I was really cross with them for that….It hurt but I forgave them when they gave me some nice roast chicken!!!!!
I’m still not happy to be left alone but I’m learning to be brave and remember that they do come back, and I’m still very fond of the sound of my own voice (or that’s what Mum says).
I have lots of friends, both dog and human and enjoy a good charge around with anyone willing; young or old, big or small especially on the heath or the beach and I love doing the school run with Mum because I have lots of children fussing over me, rubbing my tummy :D
My recall is getting better all the time and I’m learning much better manners for when I’m on the lead too….Mum says her back doesn’t hurt nearly as much!!! I’ve grown and put on plenty of weight too but I burn off lots of energy chasing after a naughty squirrel that likes to sit on my fence in the garden and seeing off the pigeons that try to eat the little birds food. I spend lots of time chewing up boxes and bottles for the recycling but my favourite thing is to pull all the stuffing out of my toys and spread it all over the carpet! Dad gets a bit cross about that but I don’t know why :)
Mum takes lots of photos of me and I’ve sent you some of my favourite ones so you can see how happy and big I am now.
Lots of love and licks to you all and thank you from me and my family

Hi Helen
I’ve been with my new family now for nearly 3 months and I like it here!
I’m still a big handful but Mum and Dad say I’m getting there slowly but surely.
I spend lots of time running around in the garden and I like watching the children on the trampoline, I would like a go but they all say no.
I have started going to training classes which are lots of fun as I get to run around a big field a lot and play with other dogs…Mum says I’m meant to be learning but I think thats boring!!!
I get to go for lots of walks on the heath and I love all the different smells I find up there…my nose is always busy.
I’m still very scared of being left on my own but I’m getting better and am starting to trust that they will come back.
I’m still very noisy (or so they say) but I am learning that my voice is sometimes a bit too loud!!!!
All in all I like my new family and my family like me so I’m happy and they’re happy (most of the time…lol)
Thank you for finding me my home and thank you from my family for letting me come to them
Lots of licks

Freckles has found a home !!
Hello, I arrived into the rescue on Sat I bounced in and made friends with Patches and Flash straight away.
I am a Cocker spaniel cross Beagle apparently, though I heard Helen saying it is hard to be sure what a dog is but I put my nose to the ground and go selectively deaf like a Beagle.
A lady took me for a walk to day and told Helen I was very trainable and that I picked up quickly on what I was being told to do.
I love the other dogs here apart from when Patches and Flash who gobble their dinner down in 5 secs flat then hang around my bowl waiting for a chance to steal my dinner.
I ignore them and Helen tells them to back off.
I cried a bit when I first came here but by bedtime had settled into a comfortable bed for the night it helped that Helen stayed up very late so that I could have the light on for extra time.
