Bud has now found a home !!

progress update on Roz: 16/3/13

Dear Auntie Pat, Mummy said that I should write to you & complain about the day I had yesterday. First there was no breakfast then we went to the vets. I was really happy to be there as always & I was delighted that my weight had stayed at 7.8. Then she came with me through to the back of the building & they put me in a cage. The vet bed was blue not pink or lilac to match my lead. Then she went off with the nurses to see a 3 legged cat that she had rescued. They were all so pleased with cat’s progress that they completely ignored me even though I started singing in my best top soprano.( Had I told you that dearest Words & I are practising 2 part howling. Words takes the tenor line & I do the soprano. We are only doing it when she goes out so it will be perfect for her to listen to when we are ready.
Anyway I am a bit hazy about the next few hours & when mummy came to collect me I was feeling all cold & wobbly. But when we got home she carried me out of the car to the house. Then I had a light supper of minced tripe,a puree of apple & vegtables & some yoghurt.She then took me upstairs & made a nest for me on her bed. I had a long sleep & felt much better especialy because I was allowed to sleep on the bed all night.
I overheared her talking on the phone & she said that I had been sprayed or strayed or something like that. It is very boring because I have to stay on the lead for the next few days & I am a girl who likes her freedom. Still she told me that things could be worse at least I don’t have to wear an elizabethan collar whatever that is.
I hope that you all well & surviving the cold weather (I have a smart coat for quiet walks on the lead) Love from Rozxx

Bud aka Roz on her visit today.. what a little star and so happy in her new home

progress update on Roz: 3/7/12
Dear Auntie Pat just to let you know I was down to 10.2 last week,
mummy has bought some new scales so it is more accurate.
Mummy is fed up because she is going on all these long walks as well but is not loosing any weight.
Personaly I think it has something to do with chocolate icecream. Did I tell you that I had my rabies jab? I have now
got a passport & am learning to be a chienne.
Dearest Wordsworth is teaching me because he is a seasoned traveler & has been to France 3 times.
He tells me that I must learn to call him Mon Cher Amour.
He says I must learn to bark with a french accent so all the froggy
doggys understand.
One day hopefully soon I will come & see you & you will think who is
this beautiful stranger at my door!
Love from Roz

Dear Auntie Pat, My mummy is very ignorant & hasn’t learnt to send pictures by e-mail but as soon as someone with a bit more intelegence comes round they will be sent.
Jubellers looks very smart in her outfit. Dearest Wordsworth & I went to London for the weekend.
We went on the train which was exciting.
The carpet on the train was covered in minute crums of food & I did a good job hoovering as much area as I was allowed to get to.
Although he has made several train journeys Dearest Wordsworth got a bit wobbly when we first got on but after about 30 minutes he felt better & we both slept for the rest of the journey.
We went for walks in some realy big parks, a bit different from the country, still we met all sorts of dogs, Dearest Wordsworth found lots of squirrels & I found some truly wonderful rubbish bins.
There was a street party where we were staying & we had our photos taken along with all the dogs & cats that live in the street.
My photos hopefully will arrive soon, love from Roz

Dear Aunty Pat just to keep you up to date.
I have now progressed from small furry things to deer, they give you a much better run for your money.
I went swimming twice last week once in the Little Sea at studland & once in the river at Wareham.
I am not sure that I should have gone in the water but it looked too good to resist.
Dearest Wordsworth is swimming a lot more, mainly to take my stick away from me.
Some times we share it and both carry it back to shore.
I have now worked out the purpose of the cat flap & with slightly better measurements I can get through it easier than before.
I am definitely looking slimmer but still have a way to go.
Lots of love Roz.

Dear Auntie Pat, Please please come & rescue me.
After I saw those photos you sent I realised how much I had changed.
They are starving me.
I know my maths is not very good but I am sure they are giving me one less biscuit every day.
I have had to have my collar taken in twice!
Some boys like bigger girls.
I asked Words how he thought I looked he said ‘allright I suppose’ there you see what I mean.
Yesterday I thought we were going for our usual nice quiet walk, you know look down some rabbit holes pick up some eau de fox/ badger/ hyenna shit & home for tea.
I was shocked when Words said look my friends are here & suuddenly we were surrounded by hysterical collies & a Shelty.
The Shelty told me that under all his fluff he was quite portly & advised me to get some hair extensions.
I was then forced to run around & chase sticks for about half an hour I did actually get the stick on one occasion.
See what I mean I could never have done that a few weeks ago.
I must stop now I can hear her coming up the stairs.
All my love Rosetti nee Bud

some new photos of the slimmer of the year..our beautiful Budx
now weighs in at 12.8..she was 14.45 four weeks ago

Bud has been with me a couple of weeks now and she is such a good girl,
would make a welcome addition to any family,
her weight is falling off and she will be trim in no time,
swimming is her thing but is happy to run along wherever we go.

Bud is in training to swim the channel she loves swimming so that should help shift those extra pounds in no time.
these are two very sociable friendly dogs.they are house and crate trained and travel well in a crate in the car

Two very tired foster dogs after four hours walking and swimming.
great well behaved dogs who enjoy life

These two darling Jack Russells arrived today and have settled very well,
enjoyed a walk with three of my dogs,
not fazed by anything outside and very sociable with other dogs.
Alfie the tri – colour boy loves to play ball and we spent time in the garden playing fetch and drop,he would be great at fly ball. Bud is just so easy going and lazed in the garden with her chewy bone.
Both settled well in their crate an not a peep out of them
