Walks please!  The weather is getting better and our dogs are looking forward to going out with their Rambling Rover friends.

They may be small and cute but these little guys have been around a long time

 Has anyone seen a grey lurcher?   A young boxer?   A black and white middle aged cat?   A young grey cat?   All these pets have been reported missing this week (w/e 27.2.10) - if you've seen them or know anything about their whereabouts, please get in touch with us and we'll pass the information on.   There are some very anxious owners out there, let's try and get these pets back with their people.

 'One minute she was sitting in the back yard, when I looked a couple of minutes later, she was gone.'   This is how the owner of a young female lurcher described the time his pet went missing.

It's breakfast time but some of the sanctuary chickens don't want to venture outside. 

We gets calls every day saying 'I want a kitten.  Do you have any available?"   The answer is 'no' because it's not the right time of year.   Another couple of months though and there will be lots.

With so many extra mouths to feed over the past weeks, our supplies of dog and cat food were going down rapidly.   So when Pet Samaritans, Lynn and John arrived yesterday with a car boot loaded with pet food we were expecially pleased to see them.

Cats love cardboard boxes and the smaller the better.   Delilah, who is one of our resident cats, made a beeline for this tiny square of cardboard and crammed herself in it as soon as she saw it.  

Although it's thawing a little bit, there's still plenty of snow and ice here.  The ponies have heads down and are looking for their all time favourite food -  grass.  No matter what sort of food they have - hay, pony nuts, carrots - the green stuff is what they yearn to eat.  Natural is best definitely.
