This Easter has come and gone in a whirlwind. Today is the first time I’ve managed to catch my breath. It began on Good Friday with hubs celebrating his 55th birthday. We spent a VERY pleasant evening visiting several splendid watering holes….. And indulging in some even more splendid real ales…… marvelous they were! Saturday …
Sam is now eighteen months old and we’ve had him for fourteen months. How time flies eh??? As many of you will know, we got Sam from the rescue and he and his siblings had been bred for one purpose, to be torn apart by pit bulls in training. In four short months, Sam had …
I had a real scare a few days ago. Sam, the greediest dog I’ve ever had, refused his food and went off to be sick. Some of you will remember the occasion, a few months ago, when he ate an indestructible plastic bone, and had to have surgery which was extremely serious. Thankfully he survived, but the cost came to …
Yesterday, the rescue held its annual cat extravaganza. Each year the cattery is decorated, Halloween style, and opened to the public. My job was to do the face painting [as usual] and to judge the worst witch and best wizard competitions. The kids love the cat extravaganza so it’s always well attended. The face painting takes place in one …

As I tend to mainly write about wildlife at the rescue, I thought, for a change, I’d show you a few of our other animals over the coming weeks. As well as a wildlife dept we have kennels, a cattery, a farm and several large aviaries. So…here we go…..We have several pigs on the farm. Recently …
Each sunday over the last month I have been face painting at a bull breed awareness road show. My rescue, in conjunction with several other animal charities have been trying to raise awareness re the importance of neutering and microchipping bull breed dogs. In the U.K a bull breed dog is put to sleep every …
Well….it only seems like a few months have passed since I got Sam and Annie. How time flies by! I can hardly believe that Sam has now turned one and Annie is almost twelve months old. I’m getting a little bit more peace these days, as they don’t play all day and night, just MOST of …
Sam, my doberman/lab mix puppy has just turned 12 months. Now, he’s a totally different dog from the starved, terrified creature we got from the rescue 8 months ago. Back then he was in a terrible state. He was half the weight he should have been, had mange and ringworm, and all his blackened baby teeth snapped …
Every time Hubs and I have planned to go sailing on our narrowboat this year, something’s happened to prevent it. Things like the pups being neutered, individually of course, just to make it more awkward, and Sam eating indestructable bones and needing surgery, repeat flu bugs….oh, the list is endless! Last weekend, our boat trip was almost sabotaged again …
I’m EXHAUSTED! These three blue tit chicks came home with me from the rescue on saturday as they need continual feeding throughout the evening and early mornings. They never stop eating….not ever… you would be astonished at how many mealworm one of these little beauties can put away in one sitting. One will doze off after a feed, …
