Be safe always wear your seat belt

Well Hi,

What can I say, rain, rain bloody rain sorry for cursing but it could have been worse the way I feel.

I know its the same for every one. But every one has not got a Mop that has suddenly become a 100% fit. He is tearing around making up for the past week .

We were all out at 7 am and came back soaking, but the Mop has not lay down since we came back except to chew something.

He has chewed anything and everything his mouth could go round, he has tried to pester me to play, I told him where to go, but I could not believe it he has done the same with this old Gyp as he did with Sam Elfin and Molly, he has thrown himself down on his back, licked in her mouth(the mucky little thing) she has growled at him a few times but the daft thing just kept on until she has started to play with him.

I suppose with him being just a young whipper snapper that he does need to play.

John has just mentioned the beach I think there is something wrong with him, he said to Brenda are you coming, by the look on her face, she is about as excited at the prospect as I am.

Gyp looked straight out of the window to see if the rain had stopped, it had not so she did not look very exited about going out.

Well we have to go just because John wants to, we would not bother but we have to keep his face straight.

Hi Bobby here, as you can see it just gets worse for little Pip, he now has an infection in his little bits. He was rushed back to the vets, he has got to have antibiotics to help him get better.

He is not very well I even tried to play with him but he is not interested so he must be sick.

Gyp must be felling sorry for him too she let him lay beside her he is crying all the time John and Brenda are worried so am I, even though I call him I do like him a little bit.

Gyp is a nice old girl, John said she is no bother at all, but she is a bit stiff in the legs.

Gyp eats lying down.
Hi, Well here we have another dog who has come to stay, her name is Gyp, I think her owner is in hospital, We have been down to the beach but the Mop could not come. Brenda took the lamp shade thing off and he started to lick all his little bits so he had to have it back on.

Poor Pip he is so sad.

Gyp is like the Mop, as soon as John let her off the lead she went straight into the water. I can not believe that any dog would want to run into water I run back if a wave comes, but I went right in to my ankles for the ball today. The Mop would have loved it but he had to have a gentle walk, as he is very sore and still crying.
Look me up to my ankles,

Hi, The Mop has been to the vets to get his operation, he has cried since he came back. He has had a big collar on because he would not stop licking, he does look sad.

He will not walk about with his collar on it looks like a lamp shade, he just lies down, even I feel sorry for him.

This is Jack now settled and happy in his new home, his new owners are very pleased with him.

Hi Bobby here,

Well Sam went home and little Pip is missing her, he has even looked under the sofa to see if she was there.

Before she went on the morning they were playing great, so he will miss her.

Chefs for Pawz

This is a big thank you to Dona and Paul at the Smugglers pub on Roker front, also the three Chefs that took part in a cookery competition to raise funds for Pawz For Thought. It was a great night all there enjoyed watching the guys cook, then tasting each dish.

There was music after, and being a dog friendly pub a floor show

Dancing dog, They raised £320 so from all us dogs that without the kindness shown, and the effort put in to raise funds, would not have had the chance of a much better life or in many cases any life at all, thank you and loads of tail wags.

Happy Bobby

Hi, Guess who is happy today, yes that's right ME. we have been to Tunstal Hill, the beach, the park and the hill again tonight and I did not get wet, not once. It has cheered me up, of course daft Pip got wet at the beach even Sam did, mind it was an accident she did not realise the rock pool was so deep, poor thing got a shock, but then went in again so she must have liked it.

It is Sam's last day today and little Pip is going to miss her, he has spent all week creeping about her, today she has finally let him lick her feet, and lie beside her. Sam has played with him with her squeaky toy. I think she likes him, or she is sick of him prostrating himself in front of her.

I think this feet fetish is a bit much, she seems to like it though. Next she let him cuddle up to her.
I thought she was going to chase him, then next thing, there they were fast asleep.

I think Sam might miss the Mop as well, I have to say he does not give up, he did win her over in the end.

Bye for now I hope we get another dry day tomorrow.

Hi Bob here, Well Sam has been here for a few days now, Pip has done everything to get her to play with him, mostly lying on his back. I could not believe it she has started to run about with him. He just would not give up even though she chased him a few times.

If you remember Sam when she first came to John she was frightened of everything, she sat on the beach and shook as she had not been out or seen or played with other dogs. John said to see her run and enjoying her life is really great, he said she has got a great home and is really loved.This is how she was.

This is her now.

Sam playing now.

I still have a complaint I am fed up of the rain I will shrink if I get wet again is this the summer.

Bye Grumpy Bob

Hi, This is Sam back on a weeks holiday, while her owners swan off on there holiday to a sunny place.

They leave poor Sam in this country with all this rain, I was just saying to her how I would like a nice holiday in a sunny place, this rain is getting on my nerves.

I am sick of getting wet every time we go out, if its not raining when we go out we get caught in a down pour.

Its okay for humans you don't have fur that gets all wet, except the bit on your heads and John does not have much of that so its OK for him, and the Mop gets wet weather its raining or not, he even jumps into big puddles.

Bye for now Grumpy Bobby

Hi Bob here,

Jack has now got a new home so this is very good news, he has also lost a lot more weight and is enjoying his walks. This picture was before his diet, so he is very plump here.

Now he is more stream lined.

This is his rear but you can see he looks better, I do not think he could have walked up and down steps before.
