Comments from the owner:

Percy was the absolute light of my life. I rescued him at 12 weeks and he instantly became a huge part of my life. We spent a lot of time training him and he was so clever and loved to learn. He could play fetch and his favourite thing to play with was a ball of foil. Cats are meant to be scared of foil so I used it to cover my kitchen counters to deter him from jumping up. One day I came home to find the foil ripped to shreds all over the floor, he was having the time of his life playing with it. He was so loving and always would tell me when he wanted to cuddle. We would spend hours cuddling and playing, he was such a happy boy. Although he was only with me for a year, it was the best year and I am so glad I brought him into my life. I hope wherever he is now, he has plenty of foil to play with

Comments from the owner:

Narla was a wonderful part of our family for eight years. She was the sweetest, most loving dog and gave the best cuddles and sloppy kisses, especially to all the children in our families. She loved her walks and would sulk until she was taken out. Narla would always chase those pesky cats and even saying 'cats' would wind her up. She was the best big sister to our four year old Charlie and little sister to our fourteen year old Aston, even if she did steal their food now and again. Her favourite thing to do was zoomies all around the house and garden, even at 1am in the morning when we were all asleep. Throwing her biscuits around was her favourite game to play. She took part in many charity runs with her Mummy and even climbed a mountain! She has definitely left her paw print on all of hearts and no one could ever replace her, our special Pupper Dawg ♥️

Comments from the owner:

Simba was a stray cat for at least 8 years in the area, after his original owner excluded him from the house. He had several neighbours look after him but when his fur got so matted, it was time to call the RSPCA. Not long after, we adopted him and he had the most amazing 6 years with us, being spoilt, cared for and loved. Simba never liked to be picked up or his belly being touched, meaning he got regular lion cuts. He would nip to tell you he didn't like it but never to cause pain, just to set boundaries. He was regularly referred to as feisty and spicy by the vets and nurses.

She would gently paw at your cheek, if it had gone past teatime (5pm). She would jump on your shoulders and lie across the back of your neck. We have had her since birth, born on 23/4/07 , 3 girls and 1 boy who we obviously called George.

Comments from the owner:

Buddy 25/5/10. A special boy - one of 11, 9 dogs and 2 bitches. He was our pick of litter. His temperament has been superb all his life. He has competed in the show ring and also worked picking up on shoots. He gained various awards over the years. He gained his Show Gundog Working Certificate and was a therapy dog for the handicapped. He gave blood 4 times. Now totally blind through cataracts and also has a cancer on his nose.

Comments from the owner:

Tyson loved when you scratched his bum, he would do an excited stomp and growl while you did. He would also lick doorframes if he was shut out of a room, we think he was trying to lick the door until it dissolved and he could get in. He couldn’t do anything without someone holding his paw, and the paw holding was not optional. Everyone who met him adored him and he was the best boy in the whole world.

I loved playing with my two sisters and brother, who are chihuahua's. We loved playing silly together and then cuddling on the couch or the big fluffy beanbag.

Comments from the owner:

My name is Izzy, but my human mummy and daddy always called me Wizzy. I was a mummy to two beautiful babies - unfortunately one of my babies did not make it. My daughter is now a mummy herself, having two beautiful girls born on the Queen's jubilee. When Dad came home from work, I knew it was tea time, and I would always get a share of Dad's tea with my brother and sisters. I know my human mummy and daddy will miss me, but I am safe and happy with my brother Henry now. We will look out for each other - paw promise.

Comments from the owner:

Pudding loved people and kids, he loved to sunbathe, to cuddle up and have tickles on his tummy. He would do mental zoomies around the garden or on the rugs, and give you a goofy smile afterwards. He was the most loving doggo ever…unless you were another dog, or a cat and he would let no birds land in the garden on his watch! He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know him.

Stella was a loving sweet big teddy that loved her cuddles. She wasn’t a morning dog at all she loved staying in bed. She was a crazy dog constantly running around and chasing her own tail. She didn’t let the fact she only had one eye stop her. She will be missed very much but never forgotten.

Comments from the owner:

Dexter always greeted his family with a gift in his mouth (not to be touched) and a wiggling bum. We miss that wiggle. He was so sociable to all other dogs and appalled if a dog snarled at him, he couldn't understand how another dog could be so rude. He shared everything, except stones, with his buddy, Beau. They slept together, ate together, played together. Poor Beau is now bereft, as are we. Dexter was so brave, he had both cruciate operated on 8 weeks apart but never limped at all. Stoic to the end. I hope someone learns something from him. Goodbye our Clown Prince.

Favourite place to snooze:

Mabel loved to lie in the Sunshine, she would sleep outside or on one of our beds upstairs. She loved to cuddle up with us on the bed and sleep, especially up against us.

Favourite Toy:

She did not really have a toy, but obviously liked toys with cat nip inside and when she was younger she did run after balls and ribbons. She did like to catch mice and bring them in and for some reason she had an obsession of bringing in leaves during the autumn and letting us know they were there during the night.

Favourite Treat:

Butter was her favourite treat.

Favourite Person:

Mabel was a real talker, she would love to chat with us. Due to her accident when she was just 6 months, she got run over and broke her hip with spinal shock, she would be incintienet of urine, especially when asleep which was a real nuisance as we did a lot of cleaning up after her.

Comments from the owner:

Mabel was a very affectionate cat, she used to sit on our laps and sleep, she would often chat away to us and we all loved her very much. She deteriorated very quickly and it was a shock to us all when we realised she was so poorly. We all miss her a lot but her brother, Billy, is still with us fitting fit.

Comments from the owner:

A Priceless Gift has brought me much comfort. Thank you. The vet asked me to send a quick profile about my puppy so here goes: I was 12 years, 2 weeks and 6 days old when I went to sleep in a beautiful garden. Everyone I ever knew called me 'Smiler', I had 356 different smiles! Sometimes I fluttered my eye lashes at Denzil. I liked chasing helicopters. I hated the rain and sunk instead of swimming. I am not waterproof and need to be wrung out like a sponge if I get wet. I wasn't very good at coming back when I was told. I was a naughty thief and quite greedy! My favourite games (with Annabel) were 'Feet' (stuffing all my feet in my mouth at once, tail too while I wriggled on my back laughing) and 'Snappy Face'! (Which I also thought was hilarious). My favourite game (with Denz) was 'Tuggy' when I used to go crazy. I hated all cats (except a little black one called Giblem). I hope I can help other puppies. Thanks again.

Comments from the owner:

Coco arrived at our house with her brother, at the time she was a shy, reserved kitten. As she was many shades of chocolate, she was given a chocolate themed name. Once Coco came out of her shell, she was a true tortoise, she did not engage with me for about 6 months after our youngest was born and didn’t want anything to do with the youngest for about 6 years. You always knew when she had had enough petting, by a well placed nip Coco was definitely the boss of our multi-cat household and when our rescue dog (lab X) joined the family 5 years ago, Coco quickly showed her who the boss was. This was repeated on the arrival at of our second dog, a lab, and with all the dogs who came round for play dates or to stay over.

Comments from the owner:

This is the gorgeous Cooper, affectionately known as Coopey-poop. After a bit of a shady unknown start in life he came to live with us and has enjoyed months of being a loved part of our family. Cooper enjoyed going to the beach, although he was terrified of the water! He loved playing with his enrichment toys and going for long walks with his football. Unfortunately Cooper’s behaviour issues became too much and he didn’t seem to know himself at times anymore. The decision was sadly made to put him to sleep but he will be greatly missed.
