Dogs on vacation.Take your pick in the USA.

I haven't written for a few weeks due to the constant rain preventing me from walking the dogs at http://www.appledown.co.uk/ as the rules are no walking the dogs when it's raining, too hot or cold which suits me fine.Yesterday it started to clear up but it's getting colder with night frosts starting but it allowed me to walk a couple of dogs on my hours off a week from my caring.The fields have been waterlogged with so much rain but I think we have been very lucky in this area as many parts of the UK have suffered flooding. I thought I would try writing this blog using Windows Live Writer so things may be different to my usual efforts.   The first dog I walked was....

                                                                     Kingsley.

 

A lovely dog who wanted to go everywhere all at the same time.

 

The second dog was…

 

ERNIE

 

 

A lovely little fellow who liked his cuddles.

 

All these dogs are needing a forever home to go to.

 

I had a comment left on a previous posting from Santa Monica, California ,USA giving details of boarding kennels available in their area and thought you might like to have a look at how our friends across the water look after their dogs when they go on vacation and the amount of choices they have in selecting a boarding kennel. Quite an eye opener and great to see how much they love their dogs.

Next week it all depends on the weather again.

Live like someone left the gate open !

Remembrance Day.Never Forget.

Check Bonfires for Sleeping Hedgehogs Before Lighting

Sky Dive for Dogs.

This week I took two more dogs for a walk at Appledown Dogs Rescue Centre http://www.appledown.co.uk/ as my sitter who fills in for me as a carer was late again giving no time to visit the canal and do the shopping in the set time available.
First dog walked was....

SHUCKLE

A happy Staffi who loves his walks.

The other was.....

TORTERRA

Another Staffi who just wants a new home.

There are two young ladies from Appledown Lou and Becca who are going to do a sky dive to raise funds for a fence to enclose a small part of the field to enable the dogs to be let off their lead for training and assessment.

The pictures below show the area in question with an old fence already in place which would be no good in it's current condition.

The picture below shows the amount of sponsorship raised so far which now only needs another £500 to reached their target.

I do like their aim...

Unfortunately due to the weather conditions this year the jump has been postponed till March or April next year. More time to reach their sponsorship target I think.

Finally a picture for the narrowboaters. 

It's in Eaton Bray. Well it's the thought that counts :)

Boots the dog.

This week the sitter that takes over my role of caring for four hours a week was late again so it cut down the time I could visit the boats on the canal so instead I just had to go to Appledown Dog Rescue http://www.appledown.co.uk/  and take a dog for a walk. This week it was BOOTS, no not the one that lives on Narrowboat Bones  http://mortimerbones.blogspot.co.uk  but .....

BOOTS

A lovely dog who walks to heal, knows his commands and would love to find a loving home before Christmas. I spent an hour giving him a walk then had to leave to do the weeks shopping.

Slobbery old dog taken for a walk.

No blogs for the past two weeks as I have been busy looking after poor old mums health problems but this week I managed to visit Appledown Rescue and Re-Homing Centre to walk a dog for an hour and this is him.....

FRANK

A lovely dog who walks well on the lead but tends to mind his own business and refuses any offered titbit.

Frank is a Shar-Pei. See here for details on the breed..

He's looking for a forever home...any offers????

Next week who knows just depends on the weather again and my caring commitments.
