"Said goodbye to my sweet Harmony to-day after a short illness. Re-united with
her best friend Sprite. R.I.P. sweet girl."

Joan Hughes

RIP little Sprite.

Such a dear companion and such a help to me with all the foster hounds that have come and gone in the 11 years since he was himself rescued. The moment he came to me to be fostered I knew he was here to stay!

A real character,always the boss despite his size.

Never to be forgotten.

BEYOND THE RAINBOW

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

September 2008

We are devastated to have to tell you that we have lost our wonderful Joseph.

Joseph would have been with us for two years on the 5th December this year. He arrived at the grand old age of 12 or 13, we were never quite sure, after having been locked up in horrible kennels for most of his life. Talk about grumpy old men!

He soon earned the nickname of 'Strimmer' for his ability to make the kennel dog's ears bleed whenever he saw the chance, with the house dogs he was the most adorable old gent. He is greatly loved and missed and will certainly never be forgotten..

Tricky (Always Time) 14.12.96 - 20.04.08

Tricky had had such a bad life with little comfort or love that we were devastated to lose him. Unfortunately a tumour on his leg which we had removed when he came to us had been left too long and the cancer had spread. We were not aware of this until he collapsed on Sunday around lunchtime and we had to have him put down early afternoon. Tricky's racing name was 'Always Time" but unfortunately for this beautiful boy his time ran out before he could enjoy the comforts of a loving home. He is deeply loved and will be always missed.

It is with deep sadness that we have to report our beloved Thomas has died. The operation to remove his leg gave him an extra two months, which doesn't sound long but when those months are filled with your favourite food and the days are so sunny and warm you can start sunbathing at 7am and carry on throughout the day and the nights are spent wrapped up in your sleeping bag on the sofa. When the previous years were spent shut in a kennel with little comfort or exercise. Then it was worth it. 

Goodbye our gorgeous boy you were much loved.  

Thomas 1996 - 2007
