One of the highlight of our month, being invited to share a fun filled day. Raffles donated by Cavell & Frank, Sue & Peter & Paula. Volunteers Sue and Kobi, Paula, Marguerite, Stew & Baron, David with Bear, Boston and the pups. What a hit David’s Saint Bernard’s were with the children. We thank you and your lovely family for your time and travelling so far on the day. Thanks also to Kobi and Baron for their resilience – little Kobi exhausted feel asleep on his mum’s shoulder. Your time very much appreciated Thanks guys.
Special Thanks
Go to Paula for her excellent tuition, helping our four legged friends through behaviour problems. Feedback receive from a greatful owner, shadow is responding so well to your methods. And we have seen a BIG difference when the neighbour is mowing, now instead of barking, she sits at the gates just watching which is amazing. She has now stopped pulling on the lead I have been doing the standstill methods and she is getting it.
Thank you so much for helping us with Shadow … Cheers, Fiona

Hugs
It’s wondrous what a hug can do,
A hug can cheer you when you’re blue.
A hug can say I love you so or gee I hate to see you go,
A hug is welcome back again,
And great to see you or where have you been,
A hug can soothe a small child’s pain,
And bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug! There’s just no doubt about it,
We scarcely could survive without it,
A hug delights and warms and charms,
It must be why God gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Sweet for sisters, as well for brothers,
And chances are some favorite aunts,
Love them more than potted plants.
Kittens crave them, puppies love them,
Heads of state are not above them,
A hug can break the language barrier,
And make the dullest day seem merrier.
No need to fret about the store of them,
The more you give, the more there are of them.
So stretch your arms without delay,
AND GIVE SOMEONE A HUG TODAY.

Our little redhead recuperating from an injury has been a brave little man and proven what a great asset crate training can be for relaxation and healing time.
