Little Dog on a Window Ledge. We’re missing Foley #Diary

This is not a good day. I’m writing my book and reliving parts of the past I’d forgot. I’m preparing to drive back to Leeds. I arrived in Warwickshire with Foley who was well. He had a wet nose, healthy appetite and could still run around in the park.

I’m driving home without him. I know ‘especially taking the horrid happenings in the world to account’ it may seem dramatic. But I loved him so much. He was a daily part of all that I did. Driving back to Yorkshire without my best friend is going to hurt. He was innocent, harmless, so pure and forgiving. An unconditional friend that loved me no matter what.

Today, I’ve just felt down in the dumps. I tell myself how must the family feel of the lady who was killed in London by senseless murderers. She’d just taken her two children to school. How must that family feel as they prepare for their first weekend without the heart of their family. This just makes it all worse.

There is kindness and unity everywhere. Yet, we must not forget the suffering. I really do wish people would value all aspects of life. Non of us are here to kill or harm through acts of malice and resentment.

I just wish I could have another day with Foley. Just to stroke him and tell him how things are. But, writing this book is a release. It’s funny, emotional and very frankful. I do love to write. I equally miss Foley. Just not knowing he’s lying by my feet or sitting in the back of the car. Waiting at the door for me to come home. Sitting by me as I cook. Running ahead of me through woodlands and fields.

It’s just not the same anymore and I can’t cheer myself up today. I’ve always tried to inspire and it often meets brick walls. Yet I suppose some days there’s nothing wrong to admitting it’s fine to not feel happy.

Angel hasn’t got off the window ledge since he passed. I’m sure she’s waiting for him to come back. Her last memory was him being taken away wrapped in his blanket to be cremated. She doesn’t understand. Yet, I do know that a part of him is very much with us. It’s only human to feel this pain I suppose. Most days are fine, then I get one like this when my heart just breaks open. 21 years is going to take time to recover. He was so beautiful in all ways. Sigh.

dog-in-kennel Rescue Stray waiting for new owner

Christmas is a time of year when we can all give a few pennies to help animals in our Rescue Centres around the UK who help strays animals and injured wildlife, everything from a hedgehog to a horse, please share a pound or two for those without a voice.

After running a Rescue Centre for 13 years we know the holiday seasons get very busy indeed and Christmas is no exception, from the 1^st December onwards stray dogs would start coming in from the Council Wardens, 18 years ago we had to collect from the Police Stations as well (when the police took in stray dogs), sometimes 10.00pm at night in the snow or freezing fog, we were on call 24/7 to help stray dogs.

By the second week of December we were half full why?

Well some families would go on holiday and wouldn’t pay the kennel fee’s?

‘Angel Hound’ aged 8 … Cute but cheeky

This little hound has been a savior to me through the years … She’s tiny but powerful.

What is life without the love of animals. We need them as much as they need us. How can anyone be cruel to such divine creatures.

Pose with a Nose – Wetnose Fun Day – September 25th

Wetnose Fun Day hosted by Founder Andrea Gamby-Boulger arrives ‘once more’ in the UK on the 25^th September! It’s an annual event that is offered to ‘all’ of the British Public to have their chance to raise essential funds for smaller UK Rescues and sick animals!

Imagine a day each year committed to animals just like Red Nose Day. What an epic opportunity that would be for animals to get the funds and recognition they need to thrive in our communities.

Wetnose Animal Aid is a cause that helps rescue not just in the UK but overseas too. Andrea and friends travel to various destinations to offer awareness and funding. Recently Andrea returned from Romania where she visited reputable rescue centres in need. There’s always plenty going on in the Wetnose Animal Aid HQ.

Hundreds of noses have been sold so far so please wear yours! We love to see your photographs of you and your pets ‘Pose with a Nose!’ They’re just £4 each and can be purchased by clicking the image below.

It’s not too late to consider being a fundraiser. No matter what scale your contribution, every effort is so very much appreciated. Perhaps bake cakes to sell at your school, community centre or workplace. Have a stall at your local fair or market where you raise funds with your produce or craft?

Do a sponsored dog or shave your head for the animals. Make us laugh, use your imagination and get involved with our growing number of volunteers who are dedicated to raising funds for sick and rescue animals.

POSE WITH A NOSE !!

Please visit the Wetnose Animal Aid website and see how you can help. Wetnose Animal Aid are a non-profit cause that donate all proceeds to various rescue centres.
