The sad, the bad and the glad....

Sad. In one day alone this week, we have heard from 3 different Wiccs adopters who have had old friends cross the Rainbow Bridge to the Summerlands. Run free old friends, and we thank their families for the love and homes they gave to them. We have said goodbye to 2 Wiccs dogs ourselves, and we thank their foster families for all they did for them. Even when you know there is nothing else that can be done, it doesn't make that final decision any easier. Bad. The phones of course. Absolutely horrendous the amount of calls. On Wednesday alone Paul answered and made over 60 calls. Most of them were people wanting to hand dogs in, or needing advice. He was mentally exhausted by the end of the day. For every call he made, he would have 5 missed calls on the phone. Its pure madness! I really don't know what we can do. Glad. Edna update - I know people have been waiting for it. Well, what can we say! Another old fraud! On the 20th April she weighed just over 11kg. When we took her to the vets for a check-up last week she weighed 16kg! YAY!!! Absolutely amazing. She is so much better in herself and is a cheeky ol bird! She has a devilish sense of humour. She is still very wobberly on her back legs, probably due to the starvation and muscle wastage. Hopefully as her muscle tone improves again, she will steady up and get stronger again. Her ears are an ongoing battle to sort out, bless her. I think she has 10 years of grim and grot in there, but we are getting there with them. She has mammory tumours which will be the next thing to sort out, but we needed to get her strength and weight up before risking putting her through an operation. We think she will be ready for it in another couple of weeks, so keep everything crossed for her. I'll try and get some new pics this weekend. Mischa & Co. The little horrors will be 8 weeks next week! Can you believe it already! Here they are having some R&R time with Auntie Liz on the trampoline!

My heart is breaking...

From the decisions and choices I am having to make.

Fundraiser - Alexa & Matty Go On The Road! Saturday 6th June

From Alexa: On the way home from Wiccs after dogwalking, Carol and I were trying to think of a fundraiser that hasn't been done before, is a little unusual and would get as many people as possible involved for as little effort as possible for most people. What we came up with is Alexa and Matty Go On The Road..... Matty has himself a little baby other than Patchey Miller.....it is in the form of his beloved motorbike. I'm not really all that keen on bikes, particularly those that go above 15miles an hour LOL. So what we are going to do is this......We thought we could do a challenge to visit as many Wiccs adopters/supporters in a day as we could physically manage...on his bike *gulp*. Obviously I think we would need to go above 15 mph otherwise I may as well just stay home. We have the route planned and we will be hitting the road on Saturday 6th June: It's going to be a gruelling 880.3 kilometres in 15 hours and 52 minutes excluding stops - all in one day.
Sooooo, what we need now is of course is some lovely sponsorship which we thought could work by people offering a certain amount per house visited, the amount being down to the individual to decide. We have estimated it will cost us £250 to complete the road trip, which we are funding ourselves, so all money raised will go directly to the dogs at Wiccaweys. We would love to raise at least £1000! Will you support us? You can download a sponsor form here. Thank you for supporting us and Wiccaweys. Alexa & Matty.
