3rd August

For some a week goes slowly for others it goes all to fast.

Alison, Dave and family will be on their way back home tomorrow. Lexus has been true to form being 'That Dog!', whilst Sprite and the pup have both been good.

Break time and time for a fuss

Here Tara has been a delight, coming to work with me, with the exception of today. She has rolled and laid in the sun, played ball and had lots of belly rubs from the staff.





Each morning she would eagerly jump into the van, onto the seat and curl up falling fast asleep. whilst her poor fosterer, namely me, drove through the early morning traffic. When I picked up the member of staff who would be working with me she would refuse to get in the foot well firmly planting herself on the seat. Once on site she happily ran to the garden and would deposit a nice package. Thankfully more often than not it was on an area yet to be mowed.
At home our dogs and Tara have been kept separated. Tara has seen them and growled at poor Nugget, Nugget is deaf and had no idea what had happened, she walked away indifferent to what had happened. .  Although Daisy, Honey, Oscar and Nugget have been inquisitive, they have ignored her carrying on with their daily routine.

Tara, Stuart and Daisy

Stuart and I took Daisy and Tara on a controlled walk together, both were fine. We had planned to introduce each one of ours with Tara one by one, but all best plans go astray!!! It did not happen, the week went too quickly.

We had hoped that we could integrate them all so that it would not be like 'Dog Borstal', shouting "dog in, dog out!!!".

Stuart and I have slept in separate bedrooms this week so you could say we have had a holiday as well!!!
Stuart, with our 4 in the bedroom and me with Tara in the other. She has sprawled out taking up two thirds of the bed, snoring her head off with a smile on her face. In fact all I have to say is bed and she is there. I am sure Alison will  not be to happy about that, but hey it's Tara's holiday as well.


I am sure the next few blogs you will hear all about 'That Dog' and his antics.
