Mikey enjoying his holiday at Bridge Farm Kennels. We were recently full to overflowing so sent Mikey and Domino to the lovely Bridge Farm Kennels at Toynton All Saints. Here is Mikey about to enjoy his morning dip in the lake in the fully-enclosed paddock. Our thanks to our friends at Bridge Farm for their generosity in taking our dogs at very short notice.

Hero and the Villain (Kylie)

 

   

 

     

Imagine how proud we were when our Girls won rosettes at the recent show in Surfleet. Hero got first in best veteran, Kylie was second in best rescue bitch and together they got first for best brace. Well done girls. As you can see from the other photographs they are now in training for other activities which I am sure they will become very accomplished. Kylie for fastest ripper up of duvets and digging the deepest hole in the lawn {it wasn't me honest}. Hero for finding the most smelly bird poo and adorning herself with it. Actually, those of you who knew Hero as a shy girl who wouldn't give eye contact and only wanted to lie on her bed will be pleased to see her enjoying herself. She sometimes gives Kylie a hand, or should I say paw in her excavation activities albeit more gently. Kylie tends to spread it around a bit and its lovely to see Hero go into the play position and have a run round the garden with Kylie. She doesn't go fast and is always ready to jump out of the way because Kylie is as mad as a box full of frogs.  

 

Best wishes, Jeff and Yvonne Jackson

6th June 2012

 

Dear friends at Fen Bank,

 

I am enclosing this photo of me with my daddy taken on my fourth birthday (June 1st). I had a lovely cake made with moist complete and meat, it was yummy!!! Mummy had to keep me away from the candle in case I burnt my nose. My new toy duck had a squeak in it but I decided to take it out, it used to wake me up when I laid on it.

 

It was nice to see everybody at the dog show especially Gnasher, he was my kennel mate, he looked well and happy.

 

Well it's time I had a nap, so I will send all my friends a sloppy kiss, hope to see you soon.

We are waiting for photos of your Greyhounds! Email them to us and we will include the best ones here. Don't forget to include your dog's name and if you wish a few words about them.

 

 

Only a week with me and Penny has settled in really well.

Here she is after a busy day helping and supervising, snuggled up to Monty the Moose.

Hi to all at Fen Bank,

Thought you might like to see some pictures of Suzie and Bramble’s Christmas morning (the cuddly toys came from the Christmas auction and, to date, are still in one piece).

We wish you, and the guests, a happy and successful New Year. Keep up your superb work.

Kes (Dessie) is having a lovely time, settled in well and getting on with all the family. He loves his food and the sofa!

From Paul & Mandy Phythian

   

Hello to everyone at Fen Bank, I'm glad to be able to send an update on Sandy.  She has been with us for a year now, and has settled in really well.  She is a fantastic dog and a fantastic pet.  She is very loving, and has taken to the labrador in the family, a bit more friendly with him than he can mange sometimes!

Two pictures are attached, the second shows her tired out tonight after running on the beach today. Sandy would also like to pass her love on to Mr Muffin.  His picture has pride of place next to her bed.

With all of our best, Chris and Jenny Davis

 

 

Happy 13th birthday to Cherry Kirby!

Many thanks for the privilege of letting us give this big black boy a home.

Hi everyone at Fen Bank...Just a note to let you know that Blondie is settling in nicely just as you said she would...no trouble with Dave the cat, and she asks to go out in the garden when she needs to, doesn't go in the kitchen unless we're not watching and there's cat food left, will get off the sofa if you ask her very nicely, and is an absolute angel most of the time!

Here are a couple of pictures to show how she has made herself at home!

We love her dearly and are so pleased to have her as part of our family!  Thank you!!

Hi everybody at Fen Bank

Thought you might like to see how Curt is a year on - with his best friend Jem.

You could say he's chilled out nicely.

Best wishes to you all

Since the sad loss of Chiara we are now happy to say that we have a beautiful girl called Kylie. We introduced her to a rather nice bean bag bed, "no thank you, not interested, I much prefer a duvet thank you very much". OK no problem. However, she has been looking for other options (see photograph). She went missing from her preferred spot and had found the perfect place to have a kip. Needless to say she is back on her duvet.

Jenny said she had quite a personality when she got to know you, and she was right. Kylie has a built in body clock, "don't you dare be late with meals or walks", she will bark, head butt you and smack you with her paw. She has taken over the running of the household, well they do don't they, somebody has to get us humans organised.

Thank you Fen Bank.

Best wishes, Jeff and Yvonne Jackson

I just thought i would send some pictures of buddy settling in. He is doing really well and is getting lots of cuddles and attention, we love him to bits. Just wanted to say a big thank you to Jenny for helping us re-home such a wonderful loving dog.

  Thought we would send a few pics of Sid - he is getting on great and enjoys long walks with his new 'dad'. Taken over the house, garden and woods so must feel at home. Went on holiday last week and got completely spoilt.

Thanks
