  1. As someone who went to uni later in life all I can say is you will have the time of your life
  2. Personally from all my experiences I would still opt for Pet Plan. Can be expensive but worth it I thihk. And they do life time cover, and support a lot of the charities via their insurance scheme.
  3. Morning, one good thing about no hair is that strong winds don't affect me in the way they used to with my hair whipping my face
  4. Sorry about poor Rowan tree .. RIP. Last morning of washing and drying hair for months ... or maybe that should be a
  5. Why does my dog do this to me?? She looks like i am poisoning her when i feed her some nights, but usually cooked chicken works every time (she is 15 so i think she deserves a little of what she likes ). Tonight she had some roast beef, and then i tried the chicken and there he was, looking like i was poisoning her. She will cost me an absolute fortune if i have to give her different meats every night!
  6. Mel I was gutted to hear this. I can only say thank you for allowing me the opportunity at your house to see this most wonderful of girls without that hollow and lost look in her eye. Amber was a living testimony to the will of dogs and her ability to come from the horrors of a previous life to the delights of your family with fun, devilment and love will never be forgotten. Run free at the bridge little Amber, you will meet your family again one day
  7. I am very sorry to have been informed of this thread and of Amber's passing. Amber was a District Dog Rescue dog, not a WAW dog. In those days I ran DDR not WAW. Mel I am very sorry at your loss. She was a special dog and I am glad you gave me the opportunity to look into her eyes when the fear had gone.
  8. That is absolutely fantastic news for both King and you
  9. Spoke to Steve Collins Programme Manager yesterday. Very pleasant conversation in which we agreed that nothing Smooth FM had done was in contravention of any law, or sadly that anything Dogs For Us are doing . However we had a discussion around the ethics of puppy farming, the poor conditions, what it really means to be a dog lover and how a place such as this is indeed a dog lovers nightmare and we went through some of the examples of dogs WAW has had from unsuspecting owners including the cocker spaniel with Rage which we had to PTS He has promised that he will now discuss this with his boss and they will come back to me with their decision. Please keep the pressure up.
  10. Am now waiting for a phone call back from ProgrammeDirector.
  11. I like that idea ... when i write tomorrow and phone on Monday i will take that route I think
  12. I have been a work today ... going through some busy periods work wise and having to work weekends, so rescue is taking a little bit of a back step for me sadly. However today listening to the radio on way to work i heard something which nearly drove me apoplectic! Smooth FM which i rarely listen to was on because it was early morning and the music was early. Then over the airwaves came an advert for 'Dogs for You', which is a major reseller of 'pedigree' (Dog Lovers Registration Certificate' puppies in Manchester. The advert went something like this 'Puppies of all breed available, we are a dog lovers paradise.' (sic) This kennels which was formerly known as Mayfield Kennels, import dogs (puppies from Ireland, Wales and other breeders in the UK, to sell unseen to the general public. No home check is undertaken and you can simply walk in and walk out (after parting with a considerable amount of money) with a puppy. WAW have taken on a number of puppies and adult dogs who originated from this establishment, including a cocker spaniel who had Cocker Rage and whom we discovered had also had a sister with the same condition who was also put to sleep . If you visit this establishment you will see large litters of puppies, which are ostensibly from the same litter, but you will not, as far as I am aware, see either parent. The puppies are not Kennel Club Registered, and indeed Mayfield kennels were the founders of the Dog Lovers Registration Certificate. I would like members to join me in making a formal complaint to Smooth FM in an attemp to raise awareness of the trade in puppies from puppy farms in Ireland, Wales and the UK. These are the contact details for Smooth FM Tel: 0845 050 1004 Fax: 0845 054 1005 smooth radio 8 Exchange Quay Manchester M5 3EJ Or you can email them from this link Smooth FM A letter writing campaign previously got an advert for this establishment removed from my local radio, so your voice can count. Please please get in touch and do something positive today.
  13. If you have a driver use the WAW van and pay for petrol.
  14. You do what i do and lose your sense of smell!
