12th December

Sorry folks, Alison is having a well deserved rest this evening so you have me, Valerie doing the blog.

As we fast approach Christmas we all tend to think about Christmases past. Two years ago for Alison and I it was a very special one. Alison and Dave adopted Lexus. Stuart and I adopted Percy.

 Lexus's quest to be re homed, photo taken by Alison!

Lexus had been with Alison for sometime looking for a home but his lovable character won their hearts. Lexus with the help of Alison ensured that Dave got the message that Lexus wanted to stay and as they say the rest is history.

Percy's Christmas wish with Santa

Stuart and I agreed to foster Percy for a week whilst Alison went on holiday. As usual in rescue, an urgent case came in. So Percy stayed with us. Adoption enquires for Percy came but none were suitable due to Percy having arthritis, but 4 other dogs found new  loving homes due to him. Christmas came and I took an executive decision that this would be Percy's permanent home. So Percy's wish was granted, we adopted him on Christmas Day.

Sadly Percy died in June this year. Altogether we had a wonderful 2 years with him all to short a time but he is deeply embedded in our hearts and we are thankful that he was ours. Percy was unique in each and every way, as each Staffie is.
