Piggywig was lovely, quietly intelligent, loving and very obedient cat, who loved a fuss and a cuddle and playing with his big brother Teddy

A cuddly Reindeer I bought for her 1st Christmas called Raggy Taggy Reindeer. Although she didn’t chew Raggy she did lick it and roll all over it which is why it ended up with one horn, one back leg and a fairly disgusting colour after 13yrs.

Comments from the owner:

Arlo was found outside a Vets clinic at 5 weeks old in a cold wet hamster cage. When I found him he was extremely timid but over the next few weeks he really came out of his shell. He adored being cuddled and having his chin tickled. In his 9 years of life he followed me in the hardest times but was always my sunshine in the storm. I miss him dearly but so incredibly proud that he will help the next generation of Vets and Vet Nurses to care for amazing animals like Arlo.

Arlo the Miniature Dachshund

Favourite place to snooze:

Charlie the Cat

Comments from the owner:

Charlie joined our family 9 years ago as a rescue, we always knew he was going to be a big mischievous cat and he certainly was. He had a big Doggy Husky sister called Mika and a little Doggy sister called Bella. Bella and Charlie loved to play and chase each other, although Bella did most of the chasing but Charlie would put her in place when he needed to. He was not always a lap cat but certainly had a lot of love to give, on his own terms of course! He loved to sit on top of the shed and look into the neighbours yard who were always happy to see him sitting there. His favourite places to sleep were with his 2 human brothers, stretching out on their beds like he owned it and they would let him. He was a special boy and is sorely missed by all of us but will never be forgotten. We love you Charlie ❤️

Thor, god of cat treats, was a special orange boy. He loved his mum and dad, and broke all of his toys. He always wanted food, and loved a good long fuss. He was scared of the neighbours kittens, because Thor was a big wuss. He was funny, he was handsome, he was also very sweet. And at night his favourite game was ambush mothers feet.

She was a lovely cuddly dog. She only had 2 dog friends but she liked people as long as they paid her homage. Biscuit could be very stubborn but she was also very caring and protective of my husband and me. When I suffered from depression, she wouldn't leave my side. If my husband wanted to stay behind and talk to someone on a walk, Biscuit wouldn't leave him. She liked to steal our seats if we got up for a minute! We'll miss her every day. She's left such a big hole in our lives.

Comments from the owner:

Full of life, young at heart, right up to near the end - in spite of arthritis. Oscar began life as one of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People's puppies and was selected to be a stud dog for their breeding programme. He went on to have 42 puppies, many of which qualified to work with deaf people. We were fortunate enough to foster him till he was 7 and then adopted him when he retired from Hearing Dogs. We are thankful to Hearing Dogs for entrusting such a lovely, precious, special, wonderful dog to us. We have been greatly blessed and are very thankful for him.

Roobie the Golden Retriever

Favourite place to snooze:

On her fluffy bed, my bed or the sofa!

Favourite Toy:

She had many toys which as was her nature to retrieve and offer as a gift, but most prized was her collection of socks which she gathered from anyone who discarded them overnight. She didn’t seem to mind repeating this exercise when I would take them off her to be washed and reworn!

Favourite Treat:

As a Golden Retriever she was rarely fussy but any chicken or salmon piece was a special treat.

Favourite Person:

Anyone in the immediate family, she had an happy & ebullient (sometimes inappropriate!) bond with our sons but was probably most loyal to me.

Comments from the owner:

Roobie was the sweetest and most loving dog. She was a huge comfort to me when I lost my husband in 2021. We were inseparable and I’d avoid ever leaving her. She was a big hit at my Mums care home, usually giving other residents fuss. She has left quite a legacy of 13 pups, so I will have a link to her for the foreseeable future. She was kind, soft, gentle & sweet natured.

Naughtiest trait:

Used to push balls, toys and sticks into the back of your leg to get you to chase her

Comments from the owner:

She was like a cat in a dogs body. Independant and chilled out on her own. She was anti social like me, and preferred human company to dogs - even though she tolerated family dogs.

Naughtiest trait:

Licking the sofa (it was never clean enough for him)

Comments from the owner:

He loved everyone he met! Gave the best cuddles, and his ears were his little mood antenna. They pointed in every direction (but flat to his head if he thought he was getting a bit of cheddar)

Mollie was our best mate, which sounds strange to say about a pet, but since losing her I’ve learned it’s okay to say that because it was true. I remember the first day we met her as a puppy, immediately throwing herself upon me to say hello, waiting for belly rubs and love. She gave us more love than we could ever return; her excitement and energy was endless, right up until her final days. She was everyone’s best friend and she changed our lives – she was a comfort through days of stress, and a bundle of joy in the happy days. She sat beside Chris through two degrees, and beside Becca through two and a half, enjoying nothing more than plonking her nose on the corner of a warm laptop – usually just as you were about to type something important. We’ll miss her cheekiness, her happiness, and her warmth so much, but that we can gift her to you is another gift of her life. Take care of her for us.

Favourite Toy:

Bella absolutely loved pool days and the hosepipe

Favourite Treat:

Bacon treats

Comments from the owner:

My girl Bella was adopted from a rescue centre 14 years ago when I sadly lost my own daughter at birth, Bella got me though my worst days and has been my absolute best friend ever since day one. Bella never once barked after she was unfortunately treated badly in her first year of life. About 9 years ago she saved my nephews life. My sister had come to visit with my twin nephews, and they were asleep upstairs while we watched x factor down stairs when suddenly Bella started running up and down stairs crying, so my sister went to check and my nephew wasn't breathing after vomiting and choking on it, his lips were blue but thanks to Bella, he was absolutely fine. I have countless memories of my girl and I know most people say pets are like family but to me Bella was my child - I loved her no different and as a family we are so completely lost and broken without her. As my girl fell asleep for the final time I sang our song, you've got a friend in me (toy story). I hope Bella can help your team and be remembered by others as well as family.

He once happily ate some salt and vinegar crisps before mum noticed. We couldn’t believe he enjoyed them !

Favourite Person:

Mum

Naughtiest trait:

Licking dirty water from the sink

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

Narla the Boxer

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 ♥️

Simba the British Longhair

Favourite place to snooze:

Windowsill looking onto the road

Favourite Toy:

His catnip banana

Favourite Treat:

Scraps of takeaway chicken

Favourite Person:

Anyone who would give him a lap to sit on and attention on his own terms.

Naughtiest trait:

Food gremlin

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.

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.

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.

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.

Coco the Cat

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.

Cooper the Labrador

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.
