Hit the ground running

Well with it being a bank holiday, I think I've had enough time off for one year so I'm in the office today catching up on messages, sorting through the dogs that need new homes and updating the web site. Tomorrow is back to work proper and there's a pile of work sitting on my desk waiting for me to sort through - but that's tomorrows problem LOL. Of course next Saturday is the Picnic! I'm nowhere near ready, but to be honest I never am and most Picnics are arranged on the day before so it looks like this years will be no different. But I hope you can make it, the weather is looking promising for the 05 September, the weather channel still says Partly Cloudy with Highs of 18°C which would be absolutely perfect, I guess they have to get it right one year????

So what do you make of this new blog thingy then, there is the option to comment so let us know - See you Saturday .....

The Holiday is Almost Over

As my week off comes to a close, I don't actually feel like I had any time off at all, but I did spend an entire day in my PJs dong the house work and I must admit that was the best day of all as I never get to spend all day in my PJs and I never get time to really do the house work properly. But I have spent an awful lot of time sorting out rescue issues and sadly many of the situations that needed me were urgent - 3 of which were serious cases of aggression!!! It really disheartens me, I do this to help but the litters bred for money at the peek of the price boom in this breed are all hitting 2 years old, the true scale of how badly they were bred begins to show through, mainly with serious behaviour problems. I will never turn my back on this breed but plead the breeders out there to be so careful who you let your stud dog go to, I don't mind clearing up after you but please show us the same respect. I am also aware that some people have got very frustrated at the fact that they couldn't reach us this week, but to be honest we only ask for one week out a year and without it, it would be very easy to start resenting the job I love so much so a few days out of it helps all of us in the long run.

On a brighter note, you may have seen the hillarious outcome of our appearance on the BBCs One Show, if not you can see the clip here: http://www.bulldogrescue.co.uk/ontv.htm. Click on the photo of Dutchess and Maggie to read some of the comments on Mr Sargeants rudeness
