Kisses all round !

Well first the bad news  no visitors today
The good news is that we, Julia, Jane , Barbara and myself got to walk and cuddle all the lovely doggies to ourselves
It was another windy day but that didn't deter us and the woofs were on great form. Some lovely new boys and girls in during the week, Pepper who is far too pretty for a boy, creepy crawly Lottie and the beautiful gentle Beth.
Bruce as usual got Jane tied up in knots with his endless demand for cuddles and I think cheeky Charlie has been watching as times I nearly fell over him when I was walking as he too wanted cuddles every few minutes. Charlie may be small but he is such a happy cheeky boy and easily fits into your pocket!
BUT there was scandal !!! Julia has been snogging the boys ,just don't tell Mick . In fact these kisses brought a tear to her eye, as first it was Chip, who being the true gentleman kissed Julia on the back of her hand and then Russell kissed her face , Oh such joy for all. Both of these boys are worried/scared so for them to initiate this is such progress. I think that we all had our fair share of kisses and I had some lovely slobbery kisses from Patchy as we had a roll around in the field together!! yes we get up to all sorts of mischief !!
We ended the day by taking the two "monkey" girls out, aka Susie and Josie. We put them both onto a long training lead, one at either end and let them explore the field. It was quite comical to watch them as Susie likes to go faster than Josie but they soon got the hang of it and really seemed to enjoy exploring the field , they never went far away from us...just incase they missed their treats. Such lovely girls.
A very big thank you to Julia, Jane and Barbara for keeping me company, much appreciated
Love Eleanor

HOP IN......HOP STRAIGHT BACK OUT

Well thats what the stunner Max has gone and done. DJ made the journey yesterday to collect little Max, who had recently had an amputation, he spent the night at Wiccs and was promptly adopted by a family who own a three legged dog, it wasn't planned that way, it was just love at first sight.

And JED, the perfect family dog, overlooked for no apparent reason to any of us who have got to know him over the past few weeks, found his perfect family, three little hoomans to keep him happy. Well worth the wait JED!

There are some stunning dogs at Wiccs and the new arrivals are no exception, both Beth and Lottie could have quite easily found themselves in my car.  The two older girls Bella and Malli are beautiful.  I've rehomed a couple of oldies and I would recommend it to anyone.

Windy Walkies !!

It was certainly a very windy walking day at Wiccs but the dogs didn't seem to mind, in fact they really enjoyed letting the wind ruffle their coats. At one point I thought that Rosie, cocker spanier was going to take off as she stood at the famous "cuddle corner" with the wind lifting up her ears !! 
Talking of cuddles, what a cuddle monster Bruce is.....he just cannot get enough of them. This pooch really should come with a health warning as I lost count how many times that I nearly tripped over him. One minute he is walking and the next he has stopped right in front of you demanding a cuddle !!  He has to be seen to be believed...........and experienced!. He really is just like a little mouse scurrying along, but he just has so much love to give.
Thanks to Julia and her assistant Indie, who just walked and played all day, he must be really tired by now. And thanks to Barbara and her helper Benji. What a transformation in this scaredy boy, he just oozes confidence, thanks to Barbaras hard work, no wonder she failed as a fosterer with him.
On our walks today we were escorted around the field by the "colonal" who was trying his best to pinch sausages and keep the scallywags Jack, Merlin and Rags in line.  Then the "special" oldies joined us, a very sprightly and positively happy Sabrina and a very brave but wobbly Mr Tipper.  It really was a case of one big happy family today, old and young alike.  Thanks everyone.
Ooops nearly forgot, one adoption, the scaredy Miss Roxie now has an older brother to show her the ropes, good luck in your new home and enjoy the great outdoors.
See what you missed !!!!!
Love Eleanor xxxxx



The end of the world did not happen

Thank you to Julia and Kate (lovely to see Byron again) for joining us on this glorious day and walking all the adorable doggies. Three weekends away from HQ has made Gillian realise how walking the dogs keeps her fit.


Lovely to meet all the newbies. Alfie went to his new home and Spock was adopted.  Milly ( a lovely six year old) came to join the clan, I predict she will not be there for long.:

Weekend Wanderings

We have enjoyed a good weekend of walking at Wiccs. The weather was breezy and the woofs in good form. There have been quite a few dogs arrive in the last few days, all shapes, sizes, colours and ages, a real "collie assortment". There are a couple of poppets called Bruce and Molly, beautiful natured dogs and so loving and forgiving...........they had been abandoned in a house and left to starve!. Bruce scurries about like a little mouse and loves his cuddles. He is pocket sized and just great. Bella is an older lady who looks a bit grey in her face but certainly has a spring in her step, and then the gentle quiet Spock, just scrummy. One of my favourite mixes has come across from Ireland, a springer/collie called Patchey, a very lively young boy. The list is endless, as I said a lovely collie assortment....something for everyone!  I could take them all home.
It was good to see our regular walkers Julia, Jenny, Kate, Kenn, Julie and Becs as well as first time walkers Nicola and family. Thank you everyone, your help is very much appreciated.
We waved off Bonnie, Sheppie and Martha as they left with their new families and Alfie will be leaving in a couple of days. Well done, have fun.
If you have a few hours to spare and want to come and meet/walk the gang then please get in touch. The woofs always love to see a new face and would love to relieve you of any treats.
Love Eleanor

SATURDAY 14TH MAY..........

Such lovely dogs residing at Wiccs at the moment, all enjoying a saunter in the strange weather we had yesterday, overcast, cold, windy, sunny then warm!!
Kate fell in love with Sheppy who was then promptly adopted by another.  Bonnie was adopted and who now has a new big brother, who I was told is a flat coat retriever..........................but looking at the size of him I not so sure he wasn't a pony!!!!

One other adoption took place and Im sure the new adopters will reveal all in time.

Russell and Roxie have come on so well.  Russell is the quiet reserved of the two and Roxie is turning into Funtime Roxie. 
Bruce and Molly are fab, Bruce was not what I expected, he loves cuddles, kisses and sausages (not necessarily in that order) and he is pocket size!!!!!! There must be chihuahua some where in the ancestral line.

Thank you to the usual crowd Eleanor, Julia and Kate for helping out.
