Hi Katiebob Just wondering if Narla found her home.... She looks adorable and for a bengal to be sweet- natured, she should be a find. If she is still being fostered, how is she doing?

... A black and white female cat with a glittery collar with the name " Jess " on it. Jess is a young cat, around 4kgs and very affectionate. She was found in the evening of December 3rd, by children living locally in Lesnes Abbey Woods by Elstree Gardens next to Bostal Woods, close to the Abbey at Upper Abbey Wood SE2. She is now being fostered by us until the owner is found; we believe this is a cat that strayed a bit too far from home and got lost; her home must be anxious to find her. If you have lost this cat, please call Cats Protection Bexley (Evina 0208 4808015 / Janet 01322 611911). Thanks Evina

I have also applied and have not heard yet..?...

Lynne and family we feel for you, please remember that the rainbow bridge is a wonderful place and this means that from now on, your little one will be happy and pain free until you all reunite. A comforting thought at times like these. We re all thinking of you...xxxxxx

Hey, congratulations you all! Lester looks a happy bunny!

Hello All I have received this email from my best friend (totally trustworthy) and facebook member (not Refuge member yet but I m still hoping...). Please treat as you see fit:

Joined too, for all its worth. I m crap at loggin in though. I had created login details a couple of months back and never went in until now, to put some info in and add the refuge to my groups. And also noted that we are all girlies in there, which I had not noticed in here !!! Looks like we are more animal friendly !

Re. Wilson, I agree with above that people as weak/inexperienced as this lady should not be allowed such dogs/breeds. If a breeder sold the dog to her, bad on them really.If it was a rescue, same goes there. There should be responsibility in (re)homing such breeds and the people who home them know this best. Re Caspar, as a fresh grey admirer and owner, I felt that the test was fine but not realistic in the end. What did not make sense is that Debbie (an experienced grey owner) had not apparently picked up on the tight leash ossue which by the way is not jsut a greyhound thing but a more general dog training tip. I felt by the end of it that there was a part of the history behind Caspars problem we were missing and it was not in the programme. Gorgeous grey though...!

I just got my girl booked for spaying and they sent me an advance notice of cost at GBP170! Are there any cheaper options in SE London / NW Kent??? I thought Celia Hammond charge around GBP70 and their clinic is for everyone...

A lateral question Egar, would you want to buy the place if you could raise some financing for it? If this is a possibiliy, let me know because I could perhaps help you there. Or alteratively, if you dont mind renting it long term, that is another option. PM me if any of these is a possibilty. E&Z

Lucky sweetheart Oscar . Reminds me of a similar looking oldie dog that I have been seeing since my move here 2 years ago. His loving dad is taking him up to the woods for walks (not just round the corner) at least twice a day and as the he is slow due to age, it probably takes them half an hour at a time to do 500 yards to and fro. The commitment of some of you guys is aspirational! Day and night, hot or cold or rain, day after day, I have seen these two lovey doveys do their tour and I have admired them both. How fantastic is this!

Done, it now works. Come on all, Only 387 signatures? We can all do better to get heard. E&Z

A part of my faith in the human race died upon reading the story of Tobey. Few times have I been shocked more than when I read the story and the video link above. These boys did not just kidnap, torture and murder a puppy, they violated the heart of everyone who heard the story. There is no sentence for what they did; if they are not punished, we all collectively share the guild. Sadly, I find no compassion for them in me. There is a petition open for the prosecution of these people here : Petition We cannot do anything for Tobey, but perhaps we can voice our protest in a part of the world that could have known better and raised children to respect animals. There is a touching song about Tobey which says it all so much better than me: Tobey's song page E&Z
