Luci was spayed on Thursday, where she was as good as gold. She did not bark, howl or whine whilst there even though she was crated. When I bought her home she waited at the bottom of the stairs looking up, she actually wanted to go to bed. I carried her up and she went into the crate and remained there for a few hours, this is something that I could never of imagined in those early days. Luci is on lead walks only for 10days post operation so I have been taking Luci out on her own, whilst Stuart if able takes ours out, otherwise it is two trips. For those of you who do not know Mitcham Common it is a glorious place to walk with dogs covering 460 acres with different habitats, wetlands, grassland, woods, and landscaped areas.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitcham_Common. Yesterday I took Luci up onto the hill by Seven Islands, (the picture above) and there was not a dog in sight! Here on a clear day you can see Wembley, The Gherkin, and the Shard looking in the opposite direction you can see Crystal Palace radio tower. The end of August sees the annual hay harvest which is sold to local stables. Many rural locations do not have the walking facilities for dog and man, other than bridle ways that we have. Here our dogs run till there hearts content and we come back exhusted!
On Sunday Poppy went on a two week trial to her potential new home. Stuart has not long retired, whilst Margaret still works. Stuart found that he was not getting out enough and had always promised himself a dog when he retired after long discussions between himself and Margaret they both agreed to look for a rescue Stafford. To our delight they enquired about Poppy. So far all is going well and Stuart and Margaret have fallen in love with her expressing how gentle and loving she is. The neighbours who had owned a Stafford untill it died went into see Poppy and they think she is fantastic. Lets all hope that all goes well and Poppy gets her new family.Author:- Valerie
