It’s 10 years since we bought QBK.
This year it’s been all about the puppies; with 2 sets of puppies born in October 2024 and February 2025.
Rita Margarita arrived as a stray - her lead still attached. It wasn’t long before we realised she was pregnant and so the wait was on, on when she’d have her babies.
Rita set up camp in our bedroom and during the night of 14th October, she quietly produced the most adorable teeny puppies.
Love4Dogs Rescue found wonderful homes for all the puppies. Rita had already found her forever home, with us.
Then, Molly arrived as a cruelty case with Police Scotland and during a sleepy Sunday she spent the day giving birth to the sweetest looking puppies, all with the most beautiful markings.
Molly wasn’t a great mum and it took her a while for the maternal instinct to kick in - when it did kick in she was an exceptional mum, to the pups.
There was a very small puppy who was struggling and who was being picked on by his stronger siblings. We brought him into the house to be hand reared and called him Billy No Mates.
Oak Tree Animals’ Charity took Molly and 5 of her puppies down to Carlisle; where they all found wonderful homes.
All, apart from Billy - Billy stayed put, with us. He went from being a tiny slug to a 30kg+ Bullydozer.
I’m so blessed and lucky to do this job - to spend my life surrounded by dogs and being fully immersed in them is a privilege.
To the rescues that have helped me over this last year - I cannot thank them enough. I’ve lost count of the rescue dogs and strays that have come to me and gone on to find top notch perfect homes, over this last year.
I thank you all for your support, your good cheer and your kind words - I couldn’t do this without you, all.
And the dogs, always the dogs - I can’t be more grateful and thankful for them - they are my everything and make me strive to be the very best that I can.
How very lucky I am. ❤️
