Jackie and I would like to wish a very HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY to :- ROXY, CINDERS, CIARA, SABA, FREYA, and not forgetting beautiful DARCEY, who crossed Rainbow Bridge far too soon.
We know that their late Mum and Dad won't have forgotten their birthday, and will have sent licks and slobbery kisses to each and every one of them.
We're certain that these gorgeous pups are enjoying being thoroughly spoilt on their special day, and making the most of extra treats. Their elder Sister (Maple) sends all her younger siblings lots of love, as do Jackie and I ###.

For National Dog Day. The Pack. Maple yawning, Paddy, Rio, Jemma standing and Jess at the back of the group. It was hard work getting them together.

It's with very much sadness that Jackie and I have to announce that gorgeous Rolo crossed Rainbow Bridge yesterday, surrounded by his loved ones, and in his favourite place in his garden.
I know that many of you will already know this sad news, but we wanted to let Jessica tell this sad story in her own words before we made any announcement.
Rolo was one of Toyts' first litter of pups, fathered by Scooby, who was incidentally our late JJ's father. For reasons that we won't go into, his initial owners decided to part with him. Jessica stepped forward and offered him a loving home, and when we took Rolo to her to introduce them, Rolo made it very clear that he'd found the home of his dreams. We left in no doubt that he was absolutely right.
Rolo lived a long and exceptionally happy life with Jessica and family, and when his younger half Sister (Freya) joined the family, Rolo took her under his wing, and they became devoted.
It's a very sad time for Jessica and family, particularly because Rolo was such a lovely boy, and a real character. However, we must celebrate the fact that he knew so much love, and gave it back in shovels full. We're sure that Toyt will have been there to guide him over the bridge.....and show him where the treats are kept!
We send Jessica and family our sincere condolences, knowing very well the pain that they're in at this time. We also send our love.

Jackie and I would like to wish a very HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY to:- WILBUR, TED, HOLLY, MOLLY, COCO, CADBURY, the late and very much missed NELLY, and not forgetting our lovely MAPLE.
We know that you'll be spoiled even more than usual today, but make sure you take full advantage of all the extra treats, and attention. We also send our love to Soph who sadly can't make a special birthday fuss of Nelly, but we're sure that she'll never be far from your side, probably carrying an oversized stick!
We send you all our love, and Maple sends her best wishes to her Sisters and Brothers. ###

The dogs supper. On their supper along with their biscuits and sardine they all got a ladle of a mixture of beetroot, cucumber, carrots and tomato.
I have been on a meditation diet since end of March. I have been making about 2 liters of beetroot and vedge plus fruit drink once a week.
About a fortnight since I said to Ian we could boil the beetroot and vedge pulp and give it to the dogs. So we tried it and they love it and it does them good. Never seen their dishes as clean.

Jackie and I would like to wish a very HAPPY belated 13th BIRTHDAY to BONNIE and CLYDE. How can they be 13 already?! Born on the 4th July back in 2013. A litter of just two, but what a perfect pair they are!
We hope that they're both having a wonderful day, with lots of special treats, and lots of extra cuddles.
We send our love, as do our pack here from a rather wet a Cumbria! ###

Another very special day today! Jackie and I would like to wish a very HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY to:- POPPY, INCA, CHLOE, ROXY, BAILEY, DAISY BOO, PEARL, and never forgetting EBONY, MACK, DUKE, and BRUCE who sadly have crossed Rainbow Bridge and are missed very much.
We know that your families will be spoiling you more than usual today, so make the very most of all those lovely treats, and lap up all the extra love and attention.
We and our pack are sending you lots of love on your very special day ###
Sadly we've lost contact with some of these pups and their owners, so if you're one of them, please let us know how you are

Your Mum sends you her love, and slobbery kisses, as does Jemma your elder Sister. I'm sure that your Dad will be looking down on you from Rainbow Bridge too.
We hope that you'll all enjo a wonderful day, filled with love and cuddles, not to mention presents and special treats.
We send you lots of love ###.
We didn't know at the time, but this lovely litter would mark the end of our breeding programme.

It's with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of dear Bruce. Many of you will have met him, as he was part of Liz and Jock's family. Liz and Jock, as you will remember, very kindly hosted our annual dog show over many years.
Bruce was really struggling with his mobility, and his quality of life had seriously deteriorated. He would have been 14 this June. He'd lived a very happy life, and had enjoyed unconditional love. He'll be missed enormously by Liz, Jock and family, but they must all draw comfort knowing that he wanted for nothing, and was loved and cherished from day one.
We send our love to Liz, Jock, Rachel, and Jacob along with our sincere condolences.
We're sure that Bruce's Mum (Joy), and his Dad (Red) will have been waiting at Rainbow Bridge to welcome him with wagging tails, along with his old friend Rufus.
We're also sure that many of you, particularly those amongst you who have loved and lost a dear four legged family member, will want to express your sympathy too.
Run, free of pain now Bruce, until we all meet again.
The last picture is the Day at Ferring when Bruce won the Best Puppy Sit & Stay.
