Well what a lovely day at Wiccs.Lots of lovely :walkies and plenty of :wooflove:
A massive thank you to everyone who came over to help. Julia and I arrived to make an early start and then we were soon joined by Dave, Karen and Wiccs boy Polo, always a delight to see him. Then a lovely surprise as the familiar faces of Mick and Lin came round the corner, fresh from their trip to Australia, so lots of catching up to do. Welcome back guys.
Today we welcomed three new walkers who had responded to my desperate plea for help. Thank you Jo, Angela and Simon, hope to see you all again.
Lots of beautiful woofs to walk. The Romanian gang certainly enjoyed their walks in the field and seem to have all the walkers wrapped around their paws already
Colin was on his best behaviour as he tried to impress Jo with his ball skills. the new girls Jess and Sophie loved walking with Polo, they just couldn't get enough of him.....in fact Polo seemed to enjoy all his walks with the girls.
Roxy and Russell did brilliantly walking without each other, they continue to make such progress.
Too many woofs to mention individually, but sufice to say some gorgeous boys and girls waiting for their forever homes.
One of the highlights of today for me the adoption of a very special girl. I first met Meggie in November when we visited the rescue centre in Brasov, Romania and although I met lots of lovely dogs Meggie stole my heart. In fact she didn't have a name and we called her " Meggie". She spent her days chained to her kennel and she simply stood quietly watching the world go by, she looked sad and acted like an old dog. It was as if she had resigned herself to the fact that this was going to be her life and had accepted it.
Meggie wasn't one of the dogs who we had been asked to meet and assess so when we left I said goodbye to her.
So imagine my surprise and joy when I discovered that she was coming over to Wiccs and I was so excited when I met her on her arrival last week. When I took her from the van and walked her in the field I saw a completely different girl..........she was happy and just wanted to run and play, she certainly brought tears to my eyes.She is just such a gentle girl.
Anyway yesterday I did a homecheck and discovered they were interested in Meggie, well they came up to Wiccs today and it really was love at first sight for all concerned :wooflove:Meggie soon had the children and in fact the whole family wrapped around her paws............so off she went. And she will now be living a few miles from me so I'll probably get to see her again.
Well done Meggie, have a lovely time with your new family
Talking of the Romanian gang.........the first dog I met on our visit to Romania hitched a lift home with me tonight. He is a big bear of a boy and poor Bobbies face was picture !!

Walkers Wanted !!
Hi
Anyone got a few hours to spare ? Lots of lovely woofs ready and waiting for walkies and cuddles
If you have looked on the dogs looking for homes you will see that there are 7 new arrivals from Romania who are just gorgeous as well as the lovely "old hands" still waiting patiently for their new homes..............................so
How about making their day by coming to walk and cuddle, both newbies and longer stay residents?
We will be walking both Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th January as we do every weekend.
If you have never been before and feel this is something you would like to be involved in..........I must warn you it comes with a health warning as is very addictive and you will find that you cannot live without a "collie fix", please either ring or email wiccaweys@aol.com just to let us know
Thanks, in anticipation

Bright and Breezy
Well after all the visitors and adoptions yesterday we had a very quiet day..................just walkers and woofs
A very big thank you to Kate, DJ, Gillian, Raymond and Julia for joining me today, your help and company was very much appreciated.
It was perfect weather for walking, bright and breezy with a bit of a nip in the air. As ever the woofs were pleased to see us and smother us in kisses and take us for walkies
Again Roxy and Russell walked without with each other, Flora continued her flirting, Prince looked absolutely charming in his new coat and Toby just couldn't get enough cuddles. Joss and Robbie are two gorgeous playful boys and they had a great time wrapping their long leads around myself and DJ, so it made for an interesting walk. The stunning "redhead" Colin worked his charms on DJ and managed two walks with her. He is so keen to learn and already knows many basic commands and just wants to know about everything going on around him.
New boy Buttons had Gillian wrapped around his paws and we had to search her pockets and car before she left ........just incase of any stowaways ! but then we discovered that Raymond had locked the doors to stop this happening, spoilsport `
Kate kept us amused by recounting her experiences of living with Roxie, a gorgeous girl whom she adopted a while ago. She was such a shy sweet girl and I cannot believe that she has eaten so much furniture , yes dog food would be cheaper !
We will all be thinking of you this week as Byron, your lovely Wiccs boy faces more tests.
And what did Julia do ?...........she just kept us all in order
So many lovely woofs waiting for their new homes, fingers and paws crossed for all of them
Love Eleanor

S....S.....S SATURDAY 14TH JANUARY
It seemed if your name began with an S you were destined to find yourself adopted !!!! Four sets of visitors resulted in Sam(who never even got to the website), Sheeba and Sophie finding their forever homes.
Colin who was returned after a day for cat chasing took absolutely no interest in the yard cats. Polly impressed me on our walk, she is a very grown up kinda pup; someone will be very lucky to adopt these two dogs.
Thanks to Julia who kept me company today.

Julia started and finished the day by walking "smiley" Sam, whilst I started and finished with the young Colin, a teenager, who just loves to play ball. Colin looks absolutely stunning when he runs, a great little mover.
Then it was off to walk the regulars, Prince, LennieB, Fifi, Merlin and Merlin.
We were joined by Kenn, Karen + Laurel who soon disappeared off around the fields with Jack, Sheeba, Sophie and Robbie.
Then we could hear such a noise !! was it a bird ? was it an alien ? .......No, it was flirty Flora positively singing away as she enjoyed her walk with gorgeous George, swishing her back end as she went !!
After lunch Julia and I devised a plan involving Roxy and Russell, or the "whities" as they are affectionately known. These two have been at Wiccs for over a year where they have made tremendous progress, and since they were brave enough to start walking they have always been together. Well we thought that they were ready to take another step forward and walk seperately. Julia headed with Russell and Roxy and loitered in the field until I joined them with Fifi and George. Then we did a quick change of leads and Julia headed off with Russell and Fifi and I went off in the opposite direction with Roxy and George !! I'm pleased to say that all woofs enjoyed their walk and it caused Julia and I to have a leaky eye moment as we watched these two take another giant step forward.
One sad moment as the lovely creepy Toby who was only adopted yesterday came back, such a shame that he wasn't really given a chance or time to settle.
Some visitors met several woofs and have gone home to sleep on it, fingers and paws crossed.
The other highlight of the day was when Kenn, Karen and Laurel left for home !!! no we were not glad to see them go, on the contrary, we were very pleased as they left with big smiles all round and an extra passenger, a new Wiccs brother for Laurel !! Well done, have lots of fun and games together.
Thanks everyone for a lovely day, especially Julia for putting up with me all day. !
Love Eleanor

YOU MAY GO HOME TIRED AND WITH MUDDY PAW PRINTS BUT YOU WILL ALSO BE GIVEN SO MUCH LOVE BY THESE LOVELY BOYS AND GIRLS TO TAKE AWAY WITH YOU.

NEW YEARs DAY WISHES and WALKIES
Well walking at Wiccs today certainly blew the cobwebs away and hopefully used up lots of calories.
Lin and Bella confused us intially by turning up in her other car ! but we were very pleased to see them as were the woofs, especially George, Rex, Rosie to name but a few who were only too pleased to cover Lin in kisses and take for walkies
It was lovely to welcome back Pepper who brought along his new mum Daisy and her daughter Laura and who were a big help with walking some of the more exuberant woofs, namely Campell, Ross and Robbie. Pepper already looked very much at home with his new mum.
And of course Julia came and joined me for the day and together we held a barn party or two whilst we sorted the beds out and then walked until it was dark :o yes, there are a lot of woofs waiting patiently for their new homes.
A very big thank you to you all. You helped the New Year get off to a great start.
There were 3 sets of visitors today, one couple have gone home to think about things, so fingers and paws crossed. Then we waved the handsome "redhead" Colin off as he shared the back seat with his new "redhead" sister. What a lovely pair they made.
Then the gorgeous Campell wormed his way into a large family of 6 woofs and a human brother and sister, so shortage of playmates for him.
Have lots of happy days Colin and Campbell in your new homes.
I know that all of us who know Dempsey have shed a few tears over him, he was always a favourite to walk and to now watch him struggle with this sudden onset of blindness is really heartbreaking. He really does need all of our healing thoughts at the moment to help him cope and also as he faces investigations and wherever this may lead.

Christmas Eve
A very big THANK YOU to Kenn, Barbara, Jane, Jenny, Raymond, Gillian, Becks and Craig who found time in their busy day to come over and join me in walking the Wiccs woofs.
As ever the woofs were in fine form and all enjoyed a lovely walk or two and lots of fuss and Christmas kisses. The woofs rewarded us with plenty of slobbery kisses, wet noses, wriggling bottoms and wagging tails. There will be lots of woofs spending Christmas at Wiccs as so many have been handed in for rehoming and potential adopters are a bit thin on the ground.
It really is a case of "no room at the inn!" and there really are some beautiful dogs waiting for their new homes.
THE WICCS WOOFS WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND THEY HOPE TO SEE YOU VISITING NEXT YEAR.
Love Eleanor
