A DOGS TALE

'Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole'

Are you a dog person?  Isn't everyone deep down a dog person?  To me dogs are the most wonderful animals on the planet.  I own horses, dogs, cats and goats, but nothing is as special as that bond between you and your dog.

The day we adopted him

We adopted buster 7 years ago from Hope Rescue.  We didn't care what breed, what colour, what size dog we had.  We just wanted a dog that suited our lifestyle and vice versa.  After filling in adoptions forms and having a home check, Hope Rescue suggested the dogs they had at the time that would  be most suitable.  We visited Buster first, a six month old collie cross ands immediately fell in love.  Buster had been in a foster home so they were able to test him with cats and other dogs, he was already toilet trained and had been neutered.

He is the kindest most loving dog I have ever owned.  My companion on many an adventure with  the horses, a surrogate mum to orphan lambs, babysitter to anyones children and postman attacker!

Buster and Harry

4 years ago we decided to adopt another dog from Hope rescue and Harry the lurcher pup entered our home.  They are such different dogs but bring so much joy (and dog hair) into our lives.  I think it's wonderful that Harriet and Hugo will grow up with these boys.

Having pets teaches children responsibility and compassion and definitely encourages an outdoor lifestyle.  Well, if you have dogs like ours that require a long, active, off lead walk twice a day in all weathers then you don't mind anything!

He has been my faithful companion through two babies, a house move and an additional dog.  He is still by my side wherever I go, even toilet trips.  He's still attacking the postman, still not listening out on walks, but still my best boy.

Here's to another 7 years Buster Boo
