Fabienne's cat of the week: Pico

 Monday September 6, 2021

Pico is Pica's son and the tough brother of Pici and Picu, he is the most social of the three and is therefore always in the front row when people walk past him. He is very good with his peers but most enjoys the attention he can get from his caretakers. He has in any case inherited his open and sweet character from his mother; whoever adopts Pico will certainly bring home a very sweet and grateful kitten!

For more information about Pico, please click on his name.

Have a great week!!!

Fabienne's weekly overview,…

 Sunday 5 September 2021

Summer is slowly taking its course...The dumping and abandonment of four-legged friends knows no boundaries...Never before have we been so full. We don't know where to leave them and every day we have to say "Sorry we really don't have room anymore". Our first 3 students are back...with necessary precautions regarding Corona and we are all very happy with that. Our sterilisation programs are gradually filling up again. This caused an unbelievable backlog.. because of Corona this was banned by the government and now we try to solve it. Our refugio is being worked on daily... So that our dear ones can stay with dignity, no matter how difficult it is... We and our four-legged friends wish everyone have a great week...

Yay! Teddy Edward wins the 'Best in Show'.

Sunday 5th September 2021

Yesterday I entered Teddy Edward (ACE Dunde) in our Village Show. The first time we've been able to have one for two years. I thought I would try to enter Teddy but wasn't sure: he's much better than he used to be, so calm now, but I knew there would be a lot of dogs around so I thought I would see how he reacted and if he seemed distressed I would take him away.

There were a lot of dogs. A lot of dogs. Big ones, tiny ones, pedigree one, scruffy ones and quite a few lively puppies with young children who were not in control. But Teddy remained calm despite a few mild  'don't you come too close to me' actions if some got too much in his face. Perfectly natural.

We entered the 'Cutest Dog' section, without any expectations. There were a lot of very cute dogs, including a 2 month old puppy with a tiny child. I was sure they would win. And then there was Basil. Basil is famous in our village - he's still a puppy but a big puppy. A big, white, exuberant, long haired puppy who was rescued from Romania last year.  

To my surprise, Teddy was called out along with Basil and the tiny puppy. Even greater surprise, the puppy was third, Basil was second ... and Teddy won!!! I decided to stay and watch the 'Waggy Tail' contest, the 'Scruffiest Dog' contest and the 'Tricks' contest. When they were over another unexpected turn of events. It seemed the winners were to compete for 'Best in Show'.

And Teddy won that too. I hadn't realised there would be prizes - but there were. Teddy got a smart Trophy, a 'Best in Show' rosette to add to his 'First Prize' rosette. And a free grooming session from our village groomer, Keith. I am so proud of Teddy - even more than the prizes, which are great, I am so proud of his calm behaviour. We have done a lot of training and while he still indifferent to other dogs, he is mostly calm around them. This was a real test and he passed it with flying colours.

He got some of my 'hog roast' at the fare and chicken for tea for being such a very good boy 😊❤️
