The weather today was bright and sometimes cold with one rain period in the afternoon. Thanks to the efforts of Mick Julia and Shirley all the doggies were walked and cuddled. Shirley was especially welcome on her first time walking, we hope she found the journey from Ely worthwhile.
Four sets of visitors with Kerry and Penny going to their new homes. This was the last walking day in British Summer Time and the clocks go back tonight. We have told all the doggies to adjust their time clocks!

Sunday saunters
Again a very big thank you to Mick and Julia for keeping me company. We enjoyed a lovely day of autumn sunshine, lots of walks as well as the obligatory slobbery kisses and cuddles. The doggies were in fine form and a pleasure to be with.
It was good to see Carol, Lou and those gorgeous "Miller girlies.
There's always one that has to pinch my cheese sandwich...wil I ever learn! Mind you this little fella could have done what he liked as he has made such progress in 24 hours. Yesterday when I saw him he was a very troubled and frightened little boy who would have taken your fingers off and he didn't want anyone near him ,well today he has been out with us, enjoying walks, cuddles and sitting on my lap to reach my sandwich when I wasn't looking ,but how amazing is that..that old Wiccs magic has worked again. I'm sure that he will now come on leaps and bounds. We are all so thrilled and happy for him.
A few visitors today and the gorgeous fluffy black bear look alike Bella went off with her new family
Of course still plenty of lovely boys and girls waiting for their forever homes, there is someone there for everyone.
Love Eleanor xx

Sunshine, showers, and lots of waggy tails !!
A very big thank you to Julia and Barbara for keeping me company today and helping to walk some of the gorgeous doggies. I think that we walked miles and I still haven't counted up how many we walked.
The weather was variable but as ever we were greeted very enthusiastically with slobbery kisses, waggy tails and by the end of the afternoon muddy paws !
It is just a sheer pleasure to be able to be in the company of these beautiful dogs, each so different, yet loving in their own way. Although we had visitors today there are still some lovely doggies waiting for their forever homes and it is quite disheartening at times to see them overlooked because the " colour" or "coat" just isn't right. I just wish people would look beyond this to the "real" dog underneath.
But we did wave three dogs off with their new families......the dashing debonair Curt, the lovely Poppy and Millie pup
Have lots of fun and games in your new homes . And earlier in the week Jessie was adopted. Jessie had been at Wiccs for sometime and was overlooked but she has spent the last few months on foster with Ian and Karen where she was a star. Well done Jessie and big thanks to Ian and Karen for looking after her so well. I know that you will miss her, but I hear that her bed is being kept warm by someone else

Last of the Summer Days?
The weather could not have been kinder - a real Indian Summer's day. And the dogs just love it because the walkers are relaxed, they are relaxed and a good time was had by all. A big thank you to Julia, Mick (with darling Mack) and Barbara who walked their socks off. A speical Gold Star Award to Julia who cleaned out all the crates as well as walking dogs. You really are superwoman, thank you.
Four sets of visitors and two doggies left the building - handsome Fly and quirky eared Biba. Good Luck to both of them in their new homes. The other visitors are giving some thought as to who/what they want and hopefully will be back.
Now Fly has gone, Barbara's list is a little shorter - or so we thought. But then she saw Cabbie and her list grew again! Ken is absolutely right in his comments made on yesterday's walk, there really are some stunning dogs at Wiccs at the moment (actually, aren't there always?). Another super day spent with lovely dogs and lovely people. I only wish some more of you would come now and again. It would be such a help and you don't know what you're missing.

SATURDAY...........WALKING WALKING WALKING..........
.......The new in way of keeping fit. One day at Wiccaweys can burn those calories like you wouldn't believe and also guarentee a good nights sleep. I also found it a good way of avoiding the rubbish on telly, because as soon as I sat down, I crashed out, so have absolutely no idea what happened on the X-Factor!!
The weather kept good and the dogs made for excellent company. Four of us, Ken, Karen, Julia and myself enjoyed that company. There are some gorgeous dogs waiting patiently for someone to adopt them, too many to name.
2 lots of visitors = 2 dogs adopted. Both Rory and Freddie went off with their new families.
Thank you

10-10-10
Ten out of ten for a fabulously sunny day which made walking the dogs all the more pleasurable. It was sunshine and smiles all round. Ten out of ten for the company. A huge thank you to Mick, Julia and Barbara. Between us we walked 22 dogs. And what were they all saying as we walked along in the sun? -" adopt us please". They are all so gorgeous. So not so auspicious a day for rehoming as there were no visitors.
Many treats were handed out and enjoyed by the dogs and we humans shared a treat in the form of Julia's orange drizzle cake - yummy. That was too good to share with our four legged companions. Mildred cat strutted her stuff in a snazzy striped T-shirt - not sure what football team she was supporting Harvey (our foster pooch) came with us and met up with Mick (his former foster daddy) and was just delighted to see him. He made friends with Mick's present foster dog, Mack. I had to watch Mick's mobile home carefully to make sure he didn't disappear with him.
A really excellent day with great company both doggy and human. Thanks again everyone.
Love
Raymond and Gillian

Autumnal meanderings
I am posting for Eleanor as she has headed off for a well deserved pre-birthday treat & she knew people would want to know how the day went. The skies may have been grey, but all the lovely dogs were shining today with wagging tails & cuddles galore. It was lovely to have some young blood amongst us today in the form of Ken & Karen's son Luke & daughter Becky (Bex) with their mum & dad. Laurel has done a great job training them! ;-) What a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning as a family! Thank-you so much to all of you, the dogs really appreciated all the walking & fuss. There were 3 dogs adopted today & 2 more arrived to take their places. The gorgeous Skye was adopted and wasted no time in showing her new mum & dad how much fun it is to throw a squeaky toy out of the car time after time :-D A big thank-you to Barbara for making the journey to collect Skye last week, to enable her to have a new forever family. Handsome Freddie has gone to live with lovely ex-Wiccs boy, Ozzie (who is looking great & is as charming as ever). Last, but by no means least, gentle cuddly Danny was adopted. His new family include a brother and a sister. His new sister was afraid of dogs, but Danny's gentle nature put a smile on her face. He hasn't been with us long,but we shall all miss his lovely cuddles.
We were treated to some yummy chocolate cake by Eleanor today, as a late celebration of Karen's birthdayand an early celebration of her own, next Thurs. Thank-you!

MISERABLE WEATHER.........HAPPY DOGS!
The wet weather didn't deter the voluteer dog walkers, 8 of us walked and spent a lovely time with a variety of beautiful dogs. It was a lovely sight as I approached cuddle corner to see so many collies and walkers chatting and walking with all dogs getting on. The dogs didn't care about the weather, so why should we? We had wellies......no problem!!
Springer found his forever home.
Thanks again to everyone for a lovely day

A Fab Day
There were so many dogs to walk to-day, that we wondered if we would get through them. Mick, Ju, Raymond and myself walked our little socks off. But it was a fab day. The sun shone, the dogs were absolute stars and there were six sets of visitors. Eleanor had the three new puppies, Meg, Mia and Treasure overnight, but they all went off to their new homes as did the gorgeous Fufu. Good Luck to all of them in their new forever homes.
The lovely Harvey, who was fostered earlier this year by Mick and Julia, came back because of the loss of his Mum. We have brought him back with us on foster - I hope we can do as good a job as Mick and Julia. They would certainly have had him back but they are fostering gorgeous Mack at the moment.
It is such a pleasure to walk these dogs and learn all their little characteristics. I do hope some of them find their homes soon, because they really deserve it.
