OUR News

After the sad passing of our wonderful Sooty ( our most senior member of the "Mutley Crew" 18 yrs old) we were all in great sadness, for such a tiny fellow to leave such a massive hole in our hearts.

But it is amazing how life has a way of opening another door.

Regular viewers of the site, may remember back at Easter time, a stray yorkie boy who had been trying to get under our gate to get in ! We had contacted all to usual resources for strays, wardens, vets etc. & even made posters in the hope his family would be re-united, but we were going on holiday in 3 days. The dog warden offered to take him to the pound, but he was no bother & so he came on holiday ! The owner phoned while we were away & so he went back to his home when we returned, only to find that his home was very different to living with us, he was obviously loved & well cared for but he lived outside with other dogs with a kennel for shelter & was tethered most of the time. The owner had his reasons & was adamant he didn't want to rehome him & so we had to put him out of our minds. .... 

Months past & we wanted to do something to improve the yorkie & his friends lives in some way. So we took some vetbed & other blankets & food for them for the winter. When we arrived, the owner looked at me with amazement, he said "He had been trying to contact me, as he had decided to rehome the yorkie now & wanted him to go to a good home if I wanted him "!!!! I was soo shocked, I didn't even reply for a moment.... so now he is here ! meet "Rocky" showing off his new hair cut, he's now had his vaccinations & been neutered & his little ceremony of attaching his new dog tag & recruiting him as the newest member of the "The Mutley Crew".

He has settled in really well, only "Vida" was a little put out at first, she said "she liked being the newest member of the Mut Crew" I told her, but that is what we do here Vida, We help those who need us, & that means you too, it's in your contract, read the small print !". She has, & is happy now !

We are very grateful to his previous owner in loving him enough to let him go to live out his twilight years in the warmth & comfort of our home.

I guess it was ment to be, we like to think that Sooty had a paw to play in all this, that he matched a dog in need with a big hole that needed to be filled, if only filled a little bit.
