Oscar Has Arrived!

Meeting Oscar
Very excitingly we have found a new dog for Ted and Jenny!  We went to The Dog's Trust in Ilfracombe today to visit Oscar who we had seen on their website.  He's a 12 year old Bearded Collie who was looking for a home and we felt he would be perfect for Ted and Jenny.  Everyone at the Dog's Trust were so very friendly and helpful today and they even managed to organise everything so that we could take him home today!  Our volunteer Catherine is one of their home checkers and she came with us to meet Oscar too.  He has separation anxiety issues and was getting very upset being left in kennels every night - he'd even broken a tooth trying to get out, bless him.  As soon as he arrived at Ted and Jenny's house he was so happy and relaxed - after having a look around he laid down flat out and slept before having his dinner.  I think he's even smiling in the photo below :0)   

"Ooh treats!"

Just after grooming with his 2 woolly jumpers...it's cold out tonight!
Oscar this evening...I think there's definitely a smile there!
On our way to the Dog's Trust we stopped over at Catherine's.  Ted and Jenny were able to see Silver the pony who used to live at their yard...up until he was rehomed to Catherine, and they met his companions Baby and Willow for the first time.


 And on top of all those lovely stories...I've just got home to find this gorgeous photo of Jenny, Bartie, Barnaby and Bisto who have been out adventuring this weekend...well done everyone :0)
