Sleep tight Simon
Please see the video….he is missed so much.
Carolreagh Pup. dob 8/6/2010 – 21/04/2022
UPDATE…he hadn’t been right for a while and had started to lose weight. Just a week after the dogs move to Scotland we lost him, he had a tumour on his spleen and had fluid in his chest and around his heart. Just a couple months shy of his twelfth birthday….he was never any bother our Simon. If he’d ended up anywhere else he would have been pts years ago. Thanks to all his sponsors for allowing him to have been happy…very happy.
Simon would be an out of court settlement waiting to happen, so it is far better that he lives here He is the sole remaining resident of the scabby five that came a few years ago and likes the joint so much, he elected to stay
A terrible waste but not worth the risk. Even worse than Jones, his DNA is hardwired to remove any animal from the planet whose lineage doesn’t go back 4000 years.
The staff love him though, someone has to.
Crafty beggar.
Been eating ever since.
My gorgeous Lana
Lana loves her new garden in Scotland. There’s lots of plants to dig up and run around.
I can’t believe she is 10yrs old…
Love her to bits….Deb
The lovely Langley
The lovely Langley out in the paddock with Bronia…
Oh Terence
It was the end of March when this special boy fell ill. We knew he had Cushing’s but after a week in the vets we found out that it was the worst type. Adrenal. He has being doing really good up until yesterday when he stopped eating again. Best steak mince is the only thing he will eat at the moment. I don’t think he has long. My beautiful, gentle Terence. One of the Sheffield 13, Mr Mole and Bungles brother. We have lost so many horses and dogs lately, they certainly do not live long enough…
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware, of giving your heart, to a dog to tear….

It was lovely to meet these guys last weekend. They are our lovely doves in the video.
Deb
Bungle, Terence & Andrea.
We have now managed to find some lovely volunteers and this is one of them, Andrea with Terence & Bungle. The boys are a bit overwhelmed with their new home but the ponies in the background are having a fabulous time. I can’t quite believe that all this belongs to the Charity..
We just need to hang on to it financially.
Thanks guys….Deb & Bob and all at Tia.
When the ponies
When the ponies hear bagpipes for the first time…
Oh Uriah…
Well we had only been here 3 days when Uriah let out the scream of death. He had been running around the garden with Lana having a lovely time. I knew straight away what he had done and with the severity of the break I knew the outcome would be the dreaded C word…and it was.
The new vets are thankfully only 10 minutes away and although it was really, really strange and scary not going to Donaldson’s, they were and have been really good.
I have never before had a leg amputated and have generally advised against it. He had been dropping weight and now we know why.
Two days post op, I was wondering if I had done the right thing. Thirteen days post op I know that I did. Even if he only has a few more months it will be worth it. Every minute spent with this boy is a bonus. He is just so lovely, an absolute gentleman who I couldn’t let go just yet…and Lana adores him too they are inseparable…
