I would like to thank Dave (Maisiemoodad) for coming in today. In true Dave style he swept the all around the kennels, not long after he finished the wind decided to take revenge and blow gusts of wind which blew more stuff of the trees. I kept hearing 'I hate nature', sorry Dave it was funny!! He also cleaned all the drainage channels in both kennel blocks :))

Arry and Maisie had a lovely time wandering around the kennels, with no other dogs they had a field day.

Miss Pepper McNuggets was far more amiable today, she at least didn't decide to try and peck me when I got her food and water bowls, and there was another lovely little blue egg waiting for me. One more and we will have half a dozen!

Hope you and yours are staying safe and well. Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon. Jo xx

Thankyou Caro for the lovely Joe updates. I'm sure hes just keeping your oven gloves and hat safe for you. Lottie is a lucky girl to have such a handsome lad as a friend. Xx

So great to hear about Joe's progress, it's lovely to know that he has settled with you and Lottie and is enjoying his well deserved retirement, love to you all, stay safe xxx

I visited Miss Pepper this morning. :)) She was a happy girl today and we had quite a chat!! :) She also laid another beautiful blue egg. Xx

Saturday is usually a really busy day at the kennels...but so quiet today.
Bob found me some jobs to do to keep me occupied for a while! Xxx

Please stay well everyone! Lots of love

Joe is settled really well he has a companion Lottie there were a few minor hiccups initially but things have settled down now and he is a lovely lad. His character is starting to come out there is a cheeky side he likes to steal things like my oven gloves or hat and disappear with them to his bed. I have a large garden which he really loves exploring and sun bathing in. It was nice to hear a little bit about his previous life you obviously thought a lot of him. I will treasure him and give him a good retirement.

Nice to hear that joey has found his forever home I know joey very very well as I was his racing kennel hand for most of his career he absolutely hates not having a companion with him in the kennels and if we ever had an unsettled bitch we stuck them in with joey to calm them down n show them the ropes

Happy Birthday Ed! Hope you have had a lovely day! Xxx

I spent a few hours at the kennels today catching up on some more paperwork. Checked on Bob and made him some lunch, he is doing well :))

As for resident chicken Miss Pepper McNuggets, she decided that it would be great fun when I went to get her food bowls to try and chase me and peck me. I came up with several new names for her, which I cannot post on here! She certainly is turning into a feisty bird!!

It is still really strange not having any dogs in. Even my Arry didn't want to come with me today, my car has finally died and I'm using my husband's van whilst I can, I don't think he likes not being able to see where he is going! He really sulked when I got home, bless him.

As ever, stay safe and take care. Jo xx

Happy birthday Mr Ed, hope you had a greyt day. X

Happy 5th birthday Ed. Hope you got some treats. Xxxx
