Wendy Sleep tight Connie, you'll be running free at the bridge with your friends soon

I am so sorry for everyone touched by this tragedy to you all. Run Free Nancy, I'm sure you have found some friends to play with. If we can do anything for Lindsey and her family, we are here.

CONGRATS Lynne Personally we always thought you were the organ grinder behind Oldies LOL Cindy, only joking. Just remember I am a failed fosterer already, I don't want anymore

I have been invited to join Facebook many times, but never knew what it was so didn't bother. When I saw Fugees were on it I thought I had better give it a go. My name on there and in real life LOL is Jenny Cole, and I am totally lost by it. I got my name in it thats about it, am going to have another go at it this morning, see if I can't figure it out. Feel free to add me, I'm sad and need friends LOL.

Thanks for the good thoughts guys, Clay is knackered today bless him, it was quite stressfull for him over the 2 days, but with what we have learned we can now hopefully move forward. Clays story was filmed for the pilot episode so not sure if or when it will be shown, but if it is it will be on CH5. I'll keep you posted.

I'm sure most of you will remember Clay, well this week the TV cameras caught up with him. Shaun Ellis "The Wolfman" is filming a new TV series for CH5, where he uses his wolf skills to help dogs with serious behaviour problems. I posted a while ago asking for training advice for Clay as he has separation anxiety and hates any visitors coming to the house, we put this down to his life previous to us as a pub guard dog. After months of trying and failing with conventional training methods, I saw Shauns documentary where he spent 2 years living with and raising a wolf pack in Combe Martin. Shaun taught the wolves everything, and is their Alpha Male. When I heard Shaun was looking for suitable dogs for his pilot show, I got in touch. When the crew arrived yesterday Clay was his normal unsociable self, barking and snarling at the camera for all he was worth. We have baby gates on all the doors to control the areas where Clay is, much to the relief of the cameramen. When Shaun came in, Clay suddenly changed, you could see the respect he had for this man, who basically is a Wolfman. After two days of therapy, and a promise on my part to include more meat in my diet, we now have this Clay at ease will his new friends. It is amazing to think that yesterday these same people were scared to be in the same room with him, now they all pose with us on the lawn, and more importantly, Clay has learned that he can trust strangers again. There is a long way to go with this boy, but as I think the picture shows, he is worth it.

This brings back memories LOL, Mikey is terrible for wanting his privacy when he pees, in the end I had an old saucepan taped to a broom handle and hid behind the hedge. Neighbours had a good laugh but it worked.

people who love animals .........

Poor boy I hope he is feeling better, I had a white boxer who had something very similar when he was 10 months old, he had swellings, red patches and was generally unwell. Our vet said it was some kind of allergic reaction, but he hadn't been anywhere that day and had no visable sting marks. The only thing he had different to eat from his normal food was a sausage. We made sure he never ate another sausage and he never suffered from it again. I don't really think the sausage was to blame neither did the vet but you never know. Give him big hugs from us Jenny
