best friends

Our journey with animals has been a long and lovely one, yes we have suffered the losses too but a lifetime of companionship is worth the pain.  Our most recent animal family members are Zoe and her son LB (Little Bear).  Zoe is a Boxer mix and was handed in to kennels 3 says off giving birth to 7 boy puppies.  We brought her to our home with her boys 6 weeks ago and finally on Saturday the last puppy was rehomed to a family in Prato.  We loved having a troop of mini boxers but it was pretty tiring for everyone.  So now we are just us again, Zoe and LB are now our dogs and I just have to change over the documents for her finally.  The love Zoe gives us is truly immense and we are so lucky to have her and of course LB who at 3 months is a pickle yet calm and happy.  Now I have to go and pick up poo and try and make the garden look less like a warzone as these fantastic new dogs are skilled in the fine art of mining for jewels and our garden is booby trapped with holes and trenches... Ah what fun x

  1. The company of loving dogs is the most rewarding lifetime experience - when stressed hug a dog and all one's worries melt away.

  2. Loved reading about you taking in this lovely mumma and pups who really needed someone to care for them. There are so many animals out there in need of this kind of love and acceptance and far too few people like you guys. I hope she gives you guys a lot of joy for many many years to come.And LB too of course!
