Christmas Update.....

Christmas has come and gone for another year, and the support we have received has been amazing. Treats, toys and a whole load of food started to arrive a few days before Christmas and is still arriving now. Thanks to everyone who has donated, and also to the people who took the time to arrange the collections. We got a huge amount from both Pets At Home in Cramlington and Hillheads Dog Training Club, Whitley Bay Pet Supplies and the girls from Seaton Lodge Stables. We appreciate every bag or tin, and the support you give by donating to us, so thank you.

I'd also like to my team for giving up they're Christmas to give our dogs a wonderful one. This year I was even forced to take Christmas day off to spend time with my little girl, and the team came up trumps to cover. We do a difficult job, and in the cold bleak winter it becomes even harder. The dedication that's been shown over Christmas has been magnificent, right from the kennel hands to the fundraisers, so on behalf of me and the dogs, thank you all so much.

Speaking of the kennels, work has continued despite the holidays. I'm delighted to say that Suki has continued her recuperation after her cruciate ligament operation, and this week is moving into a full time Forever Foster home to continue her progress.

Dudley appears to be walking better again, but obviously it's taking it day by day. He is such a strong dog, a real fighter and he adored what may of been his first family Christmas, he also saved people buying me slippers as he never moved from on my feet all day.

Friendships and romances are still blossoming at the kennels, and big Hugo is the latest to show an interest in the girlies.
