He’s doing really well and has really come into his own and even plays with us and snuggles up on the sofa, which is such a big step for him. He always liked his own space but he really seems to want to be with us now and get cosy. His tummy problems have got so much better and we know what foods to stay clear of as the vet said he has a slight food allergy.

He has had a couple of holidays. He loved them both but he isn’t so keen on been in the car but we are working on that. He is well known locally and is one of the star dogs in the area. People just can’t believe He has come from the background of a stray dog from Romania. He loves people and surprisingly children of all ages. His favourite food is either chicken or mince mixed with his dry food and often gets them cooked fresh for breakfast lunch and dinner. We absolutely adore him! Finally he has a bed downstairs and upstairs but chooses to sleep in between mum and dad or his sisters bed every night! He is an beautiful loving playful boy who loves to be with us all the time. His journey in development since he arrived at the end of March is amazing and qe couldn’t imagine a life without him. We are so grateful to Rolda particularly Chris for all she did when there was an a little hiccup in the adoption process.

Ben. Perfect in every way except for the barking at every knock on the door. Ben and his partner in crime Bernie. Gracie chilling she is big!!! Gracie is still very nervous around other dogs except Ben and Bernie. She barks a lot too!! Gracie is 14kg and Ben is a healthy 5.2 kg. We are so lucky to have them.

Katy is thriving and a wonderful addition to our family. After a bad skin infection when she first arrived she is now fully healthy and happy. We are so thankful to have her in our lives and are so appreciative of the wonderful efforts made by ROLDA to care for and rehome dogs like Katy.

Nora is doing very well. She has settled in to the family well. George (also a ROLDA dog) adopted in 2012, and her are buddies. Nora doesn’t want to play with him but they chase around the garden together hoping to catch the squirrel. She’s actually very good with our grandchildren, which I wasn’t expecting. She likes playing chase with them and me. I wondered if being chased would upsed her but she loves it. You never know what happened to then do you? We have to be careful of picking up sticks or in my husband’s case, hoes or spades. She gets really worried by that. Perhaps she’s been hit with something. She is still a bit reactive to other dogs that are running or if they come up to her. We keep her on a lead at all times around other dogs. But saying that she has made a few doggie friend with calm quiet dogs. We are slowly getting her used to the car. She gets car sick, and hates it really. But we can go on short journeys for walks. We try and go were we can let her off the lead (no other dogs). We try to make sure that the journey has a nice destination. She is family now and we love her dearly. We can leave her and George for a few hours. She doesn’t seem to mind. If we are more than that my neighbour comes in to let them both out and have a few biscuits.

Inka is doing brilliantly – great friends with the cats, the cats go on walks with them! Inka goes to work with David in the van who is a gardener and makes friends with all his clients. Inka is great off lead, very loving and affectionate and they wouldn’t be without her.

Jack is doing so good and is utterly spoilt! Has beach walks every day and a lovely home with my dad.
