Hello Dear Reader,
I remember well, when my children were young and out of sorts, they’d just spend all day on my lap and everything else would be put on hold. My four legged friends have been a bunch of sad faces and have needed a lap day. They are all rescue dogs. Bobby Dazzler was the last pup no one wanted and languished in a dog run until he was six months old. His previous owners just wanted him gone and we found him cheap in the free ads! He’s been a wonderful companion for the last nine years.
We found Scruffy, we’re his third owners. He was rehomed by a family with children and horses and was just too much for them to cope with. He was advertised as ‘good home needed’ and we took him home. He’s also nine years old and he’s still extremely needy! He’s a lap dog who is happiest when sat with us.
Finally, a Dolly the three year old bichon. She also needed a ‘good home’ after her owner was rehoused in a flat where she couldn’t have a dog. Having three rescue dogs is hard work. They need daily grooming, weekly bathing, endless hugs and cuddles. People also underestimate the time and cost of having bichons as they need their fur clipping as they are non-shedding breeds.
We had a rough trip back as storm Frank blew us back in a force 8 gale and we didn’t sleep well last night as the storm battered our house. We consider ourselves lucky as there are dreadful floods that devastated communities. Whilst I’m cuddling the dogs, my heart goes out to the families who are suffering so much.
I hope everyone is safe and well,
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxxx
