These tiny puppies were brought into SLAPS by someone who found them inside an old fridge. Sadly, the one on the right died a couple of days ago but the other two - which I have privately christened Buttercup and Daisy - seem to be making good progress. They get children's vitamins - Minadex, does anyone remember that? - every evening.



Convinced that Penny bites her feet so much as a reaction to stress, I have obtained some Dog Appeasing Pheromone spray.

It does seem to be reducing the foot-biting - and has other beneficial results too!

Lazarus and his amazing technicolour dream collar



Lazarus has a new collar. It is all colours of the rainbow, yellow and purple underneath where you can't see in the photo.

He looks like a real Caribbean puppy in it!


I was delighted that Catherine's mum joined us as I hadn't met her before.

Here she is, sitting between Catherine and George.



Julius cracked open the bottle of Scotch kindly provided by Ian.



Here are Renate and Ian chatting with George, who seems to have had rather a severe hair cut!



Catherine and her sister, Vel (pictured) insisted on having a party for Ian and Renate. The party was here but I was instructed to do absolutely nothing, they would bring everything over here.

Vel was the chief cook, providing us with gorgeous food, Catherine was in charge of the barbecue and assorted other friends turned up to join in the fun!
