We moved to East London where they fitted right in and turned into organised criminals, working as a pair to raid fridges (mine and my friends when we visited). They would get invited once but never twice they were so naughty, but I found them so funny! We explored Epping Forest together at every opportunity

March 19th, 2020 – This evening, we had the devastatingly sad task of saying goodbye to our Yogi. In the end, the pain of osteosarcoma was just too much for him, and despite a ‘good’ day, it was inevitable when we got to the vet this evening. Daniel, the vet, always said that Yogi would

It is with a heavy heart, I have to tell you all that our darling 5 year old homeless hound, Tyler, has passed away. Diagnosed with lymphoma recently, he had a very sudden overnight downturn after what turned out to be, sadly, his final but the most fabulous day, where he was in fine fettle,

Ruby – fun, fearless and independent tiger dog Ruby first came into my life in the summer of 2015 when I discovered the WGW kennels in Hersham whilst walking my horse after a major operation. Along with Pepsi, Kiko and Peter she became a firm favourite for mid week walks. Then we began to go

Our darling girl left us on 11 April. She had been on medication for back problems for six months, following extensive exploratory procedures involving an MRI, CAT scan and so on, all of which she endured stoically, as was her way. The medication worked well and over the last six months she still enjoyed her
