Little Robbie


A new guest checked in at the Hotel for Dogs last Wednesday. His name is Robbie - a  four year old Maltese/Papillion Cross. Cute as a button as you can see!

He is nearly blind due to cataracts so Four Paws is raising the funds for him to have an operation on one eye. This will happen Monday.You may remember I had another foster dog called Tigger who also underwent cataract surgery and continues to do really well. We are all hoping for the same successful outcome for Robbie.
He is full of beans and likes to play ball which is amazing. He follows the sound of the bounces within a small area and then seizes the ball and brings it back - or not!








Buster the mini doberman - my last foster dog - only lasted a day at his new home. He did not like their cats. Not much effort from the new owners seemed to have gone into getting them to co-exist. So that was unfortunate! Four Paws always takes the animals back if they don't work out but it rarely happens. Buster is now with another carer.

We have a new website which is still in the early stages but check it out when you have time.

I will keep you posted on Robbie.

Open for Business

I was hoping to wait until the end of February before I opened the Hotel for Dogs again for 2015. But a desperate phone call from another foster carer, who had urgent family business, meant that Buster came to stay!
Buster is a MinPin - a miniature Doberman Pinscher. He weighs about 7kg and comes up to about my knee. He is 7 years old but thinks he is 2. He is very handsome as you can see.

Buster's previous owner had to surrender him due to life changes but he was well cared for though a bit undisciplined. The previous foster carer did a lot of obedience work with him and spoilt him with nice things.  His bed looks fit for the Queen's corgis!

HRH Buster

He loves walking , going in the car, is not a fussy eater and sleeps in his own bed all night. So he was allowed to stay!He has one funny behaviour - he goes beserk when he is on the lead and another dog goes past on a lead.It is sometimes quite embarassing.  He is happy if the other dog is unleashed and he plays well with doggy friends. We are thinking prehaps he has been attacked by a dog on a leash before and now tries to warn them off.

He is checking out tomorrow as a couple want to give him a trial run with a view to adoption. They have two cats and need to see if they can all settle down together. Hmmm - he may be back!

All the best
