donated £10 towards Maggies’s care.

progress update from Jackie: 13/11/10

Maggie has settled well and has even tried chasing the cat!! It’s so lovely to see her getting excited usually when food is around!!
She tries to jump up but can’t quite manage it. She only need a short walk and is faster off the lead than on.
As long as you don’t walk too fast she will trot to keep up with you.
She was approached by a large young dog in the park and she is still feisty enough to warn him off!

Maggie is back at the Rescue and looking for a new home

Maggie arrived on Friday and seems to have settled in well.
She has had a hair cut since we last saw her and has put a bit of weight on.
She still enjoys her food.
She is looking for a quiet home to live out her remaining life.

Maggie has found a home

Hi Helen,

Maggie has only been in her new home for just over 2 days but I thought I’d send some photos so you could see how she is settling in.
She seems to quite like her new snuggly bed and is quite happy investigating the garden. The neighbour has some geese and chickens so she is finding the smells on that side of the garden particularly interesting!
Brian and I took her for a walk yesterday (Sunday) she met some cows and sheep which seemed to fascinate her, especially the cows.
She appears to be quite comfortable with Gordon already, following him around and rolling over for her tummy to be rubbed at every opportunity.

Best wishes
Mandy

Maggie has now found a home!!

Maggie will be going to her new home later this week!!

progress update: 8th Oct 09

Maggie is a lovely old lady she likes nothing better than being petted and stroked. If allowed she would happily jump up on the sofa next to you.

She has been mistreated in the past and this shows when she cowers if you suddenly lift your hand and also when you try and pick her up.

She squeals and yelps when you pick her up as if you are hurting her but as soon as you put her on your lap and stroke her she is quite content to stay there.

I have been able to brush her all over even on her tummy without any problems.

She gets excited at meal times and will jump up on her back legs she has also tried to entice our dog Basil to play with her but Basil just seems a bit bemused and doesn’t join in.

She is fine on a lead but has only got little legs so doesn’t walk at a fast pace but is content to amble on at her own pace, pausing every time a car goes past.

I think she would make an ideal companion in an adult only household, she is very endearing and such an easy dog to have around the house.

Jackie and Bob

Maggie is a 9 year old Cairn Terrier who gets on well with other dogs but not cats.

Hi there Milo and ….! Thought I would say hi and how excited I am to hear that dad is to foster. I have discussed this with Tom to which the reply was ” Cool someone else to play squeaky toy with” , me on the other hand ( as im more mature now) can show the new arrival how to work dad with the “big brown eyes look” it works every time , that saying we have been told that no inappropriate behaviour from us two will be tolerated and if we act naughty our collar collection will be sold on EBAY! ….am secretly hoping that the horrible blue one goes as it doesn’t do a thing for me !
Helen keep up the good work I am so happy with my life and thanks to you fate prevailed. We hope to see you very soon , Tom and I hope the lovely Jackson is on the round to recovery , he will make a brilliant friend to any knowledgeable human. All the best Helen , love Milo x

Hi there its only me Milo …how’s you ? Thought I would give you a current update . Dad is busy decorating to which I find it highly amusing that he has millions of shades of one colour yet they all look the same …if only he could see it through dogs eyes. Tom and I are still getting on although he seems to think its funny running and jumping at me whilst I trying to relax after a hard day looking gorgeous …I take so much then I bark back in a “don’t push me tone” ..it works!

I have also made friends with the pup terrier “Poppy” next door , I look HUGE standing next door to her, Tom just snootily walks past.
Maybe its the weather but I am really struggling walking back home and sleep for longer periods soon after ( normally on dads lap) , so Dad has put me on cod liver oil tablets as the vet man said I could be getting arthritic..saying that when Tom is playing in garden I occasionally chase him to pinch his toy …he goes running back to dad whimpering tee hee.

Cant wait for Christmas we apparently have new winter coats and lead sets coming ( please god don’t make them sparkly) .
Before I go Dad wants to know if you can use our old collars and leads and also needs your full address again if possible ( diary went in washing machine …again) .

All the Best Helen , Hope to see you soon , Milo , Tom. and Dad x

Just wanted to let you know Titch has settled in really well. He’s had no major problems.
We love him to bits already. Slept like a little star next to our bed.
I voiced my concerns to my daughter that he hadn’t had a poo the first day and being the clever little dog he is did it right in front of me as I finished my sentence. Unfortunately on the lounge carpet but hey ho!!
His throat is getting better unfortunately but isn’t barking too much!
He’s had a couple of snaps at Malc but we’re nipping that in the bud.
Tried it on with Maisie dog a couple of times.
No harm in trying your luck but I don’t think he’s cottoned on that he’s midget yet.
Needless to say I’ve got Ceasar Milan on series link on the Sky+ box now, ready for my next daily Titch challenge.

Thanks again.

Regards
Sue

Titch has now been rehomed !!

progress update from Carol : 15/11/10

Titch is a lovely little fellow and is settling in well, he was very nervous when he arrived yesterday, but has grown in confidence already, and now comes up to us for a fuss, instead of running away.

He gets on very well with the other dogs and likes to play with them and run around in the garden.

Titch is a 6-month old Jack Russel

Hi Helen,

its nice to see baz play , he doesnt really get much choice
as jessie can be relentless in her task to get him to play.
now he even starts the play ! Because of my limited mobility
i now have a scooter and they love running along side it
they are absolutly worn out when they get home . will send
some pics when i get a new camera .

thanks for the chance of having two wonderful dogs

Coco has now found a home !!

progress update: 7/11/10

Hi Helen,

Just thought I would send you an update and a few pictures of Coco and my gang, first off she is still doing very well with her socialising outside with other dogs, she’s wonderful in the house and her playful character has really started to show itself, she loves a game of tug or a chase with the ball, she’s very happy to hand over any of her toys and shows no possessive behaviour at all this also includes her food so she really is a sweetie, her favourite evening pastime is to curl up on any available lap, which even includes my husband much to his delight, she also loves her cuddles and hands out plenty of kisses in return.

Regards
Niki

IN THE HOUSE
Quiet and Clean
Happy to go in her Crate
Quiet all night

WALKING
Pulls on the lead but getting better
Seemed to have very little social skills regarding other dogs, but has come on leaps and bounds, can still be a bit iffy with certain dogs if they get in her face, ie she can have a little snap, but is happy to greet and walk on.
No off lead work done as yet, but she adores my girls and is very keen to be part of the gang

IN THE CAR
As good as gold sits in her crate on the back seat and enjoys looking out of the window.

She has been an absolute delight to have around, she adores the company of the other dogs particularly Tilly, and they have become firm friends, she is benefiting a huge amount from being with the girls, especially on our walks.
We have met many dogs over the last few days and she is becoming more confident and doesn’t feel the need to defend herself first, she’s now happy to have a sniff and be nice.

Personality-wise she’s very sweet and we have all come to adore her, she’s a feisty little character typical terrier; the first night here she had a grumble at my 13 year old when he tried to move her, so she was removed from the sofa and put in her place, it has’nt happened again so shes
willing to listen to what she’s being told, shes also happy to give up things that she’s not supposed to have.

Honey will be going to her new home today!

Honey 16 week old baby girl dog.
Dachshund Cross Jack Russel
Honey has settled in very well. She is fantastic with our three children and very loving.
She is also very obedient – Walks exceptionally well on the lead, waits for her feet to be dried by the front door and we now let honey off her lead and have no problems getting her back on again.
Honey has now become much more playful, like a puppy should be!
She likes to think she is a German Shepherd, and it’s been hard breaking the bad news that she won’t grow quite that big!
Honey has calm nature, she will come to our petshop for the day and enjoy greeting people and getting lots of fuss, she is on minimum doggy wage at the moment, this will of course increase with experience!
Honey is totally clean around the house and will adapt well in a loving new home. She is absolutely gorgeous.
I will keep you up to date on the fun and frolics to follow!!
