Fabienne's Diary: Our Bobientje is no more...

 Wednesday 27 April 2022

This morning we had to let go our Bobientje, after she lost her senses.

Who was Bobientje?

A broodbred bitch that came to us already heavily psychologically disturbed, extremely afraid and extremely special. In the beginning, and 4 years later still, she was heavily traumatised. She had lost her trust in people because of her hard time with the breeder. It is unbelievable what those people do to animals. And Bobientje was a sad example of that.

How I hate the breeders. With our Bobientje we have yet another sad experience.  For years she was happy in her own way, with us she was free and could do whatever she wanted. We still couldn't cuddle her, except when we were lying quietly in bed at night, then she had confidence, but you couldn't stand up. No matter how hard we tried and how much we loved her, she did love us but in her own way. 

Our little, big rascal, who was completely confused psychologically, was still a part of our hearts, just like all the dogs at home, who finally found love and rest in our midst. We will miss you... You were a wounded soul, but we loved you no matter what...

Rest in peace now sweetheart. Never out of our hearts, but far too early to go...

Don't forget it's Open Day tomorrow .... the first for a very long time.

Saturday 23rd April, 2022

Tomorrow, 24th April, we are holding the first Open Day for some years ... due of course to Corona and the lockdowns. It's been a difficult time for everyone but now we're coming out of it and are looking forward to welcoming our visitors and showing you what we do. Our dogs and cats are excited too, they love visitors. So com along between 13 h and 15 h. You will be very, very welcome. 

 

Long stayer of the month: ADA

 Saturday 23rd April 2022

Ada

She deserves a chance.

Ada was rescued, along with her sisters and brothers, from a controlled colony that was under threat because of corona virus. The colonies could no longer be controlled due to the lockdown, which resulted in a huge number of wild births. Ada was not put back after sterilisation because she is not tame, but also not wild, she has a chance for a better life. She lets herself be petted by the people she knows but is very independent. We would like to give her a chance at a home where people have time and patience to give her more confidence. She is not a cuddly cat. We hope that with time and good care she will gain confidence and then may find happiness in an adoption for life. For more information about this lovely cat, please click on her name above.

On 19th April we received a transport from Belgium

First of all a big thank you to everyone who contributed to this, we are always very happy. The sweet messages, small and big things, for dogs or cats, we are always very grateful! 

The wagging tails walk was a great success!

Thursday 21st April 2022

More than 200 of you took your four-legged friends for a walk along the signposted routes. And the beautiful weather was there too! The exact proceeds are still being calculated, but it will certainly be a great support for our sweethearts. Many thanks to our 3 powergirls for the organisation. And there will be more walks on different locations soon. Keep an eye on our facebook page.

Thanks to photographer Gerd for the nice pictures. You can see them all via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=gerd.janssens.9&set=a.5548377308510068
