Brodie xx >>
Posted: 8th September 2014

Ena

Hi there! I was at the car wash last week when I heard you on the radio and it was a coincidence as Brodie has been with us exactly 1 year past Friday.

I thought I would update you and say he has turned into an extremely sweet and loving wee boy and I just wanted to let people know that sometimes you wont get the perfect dog in a week or 2, you have to be more realistic than that.

It takes a bit of work and lots of patience and we have the reward of a very loyal, fun and happy dog. He was with 2 different owners for the first 5 months of his life so we figured that we owed him at least the same amount of time with us. I couldn't have asked for a nicer wee boy now so please don't give up on one just because he or she misbehaves at the beginning. They are just frightened and need you to show them the way forward.

Anyway thank you again Ena for letting Brodie into our lives and I have uploaded a few recent pics.

Regards

Alan

Hi Alan,

Thank you very much for the update on Brodie.Its good to know how well he has settled in and he has grown into a very handsome boy.Which is all down to you.

It's very true what you say, some people expect a rescue dog to be the " perfect " dog without spending time and putting some effort and patience and love into bonding with the wee soul. If they have had a hard time before coming in to us they need very special people to help them adjust.

Have to say most of our Second Chance family do this there is just the odd one or two who want to dominate the dog !!! That makes me very angry as they desserve so much more !!

Bailey boy and Oscar Best Pals.xx >>
Posted: 5th September 2014

Victoria thanks sorry to have bothered you but haven't had photo's of "our" boy and his best pal for ages !!! Again great photo's Bailey and Oscar , bet he's missing Oscar since he started nursery XXX
Hi Ena
I'm so sorry I've a heaps of photos I've been meaning to send you way it's just been one crazy summer we have all been out all day everyday bailey has been loving it!! There's a few ..of him on his summer walks, getting cuddles - it's not a sleepover for oscars cousins if baileys not in the bed too!! The one with the facecloth is if Oscar drops It out the bath bailey picks it up and give it back!! Oh and bailey much prefers water straight from the tap as you can see!! The pic of him with my dad is so funny he does not let my dad sit for one second and since Oscar at nursery we noticed he's even more bossy I think it's to pass time!! He expects to have a ball thrown from the moment we arrive at my folks house If my dad isn't up straight away bailey starts pushing him!! :-) we saw a lovely article about you, frank and all your hard work at second chance kennels in the local paper in St. Andrews xx
Lots of love
Victoria

This wee lad brought his folks back for a visit today,they had been away for a few days in their camper ven, what a wee star he is, goes up and down the wee stair to get into the van with no trouble and to see him trotting around you would never think he's blind. Eleanor and Brian just adore him, as do all their family. Thank you both so very much for loving "our" wee boy, it was great to see you. xx.

Munroe Mollie xx >>
Posted: 30th August 2014

Hi
Hope this finds everyone well. Eight and a half years ago we had lost
our dog and we came to you and you gave us Mollie (she was called April
and came from down south).We stay in Dollar. We wanted Mollie as a pet
and for me to have as a companion as I set off to climb the Munros.
(mountains over 3000ft in Scotland). We didn't take her up the Cuillins
and I had completed some with our old dog before she died. Mollie has
come up 235 Munros with me. There are 282! Mollie has been my faithful
companion over many a mountain which I have climbed solo. Many hills
required a cycle in before actually climbing and she would ride in a
padded laundry basket attached to the carrier on my bike. On the 23rd
August I completed my Munro round and along with friends and family we
celebrated on top of Beinn Fhada in Glen Shiel all wearing pom pom hats
and Mollie wore a pom pom garland. I just thought you might like to see
her again even it was many years ago that you last saw her!!
I cant thank you enough for giving me the best dog in the World!!
Kind regards
Elizabeth Mckinnon
Elizabeth thank you so very much for the update on Mollie, what a wee STAR, imagine climing all those mountains well done both of you. Mollie looks as if she enjoys it anyway,lucky girl going on all those adventures. So good to hear from you although we aren't in touch much we think about our past residents often xx

not a dog photo lol x >>
Posted: 23rd August 2014

Proud mum! Poppy would at one time never have had the courage to stick her head into a carrier bag, far less pull out things to get to the stewing steak, pull the packet out, rip open the covering and pull some steak onto the carpet to get a better chew. All this in the space of about 4 minutes when we were unpacking other bags. Fergie was not happy because he was in the kitchen watching us and missed his chance x
Even more proud. Just realised she can read! Still not fluent though as she obviously read stewing as chewing x
Lorraine I know a lot of people will be saying OMG your dog has gone into your bags and pinched the stew, but we know what a great step forward that is for Poppy, hope she shared it with Susie and Fergie after you cooked it for them lol xx
Should have said they are wee Yorkie's who had a terrible life before you and Jack adopted them, and they have never looked back thanks to both of you xx

Posted: 22nd August 2014

This is me with my mum, doesn't that sound good, just look at the big smile on my face. I thought no one would want me with all my lumps and bumps. Ena called to see how I was doing and Lyn said she loves me already. I love Logan their wee boy too, he plays football with me so that's cool. Although Lyn told Ena she won't be able to keep me supplied with tennis balls as I burst them all, poor wee Alfie had quite a few at the kennels, not anymore, sorry Alfie but I'm sure you will hwve more by now !!! Love Zara xx.
