Its our last night with Rudi onboard and Mac is oblivious to the changes that will come tomorrow. Its always a bittersweet moment when a foster leaves us.

I always struggle, but this time I have to consider how Mac will struggle too. He has only been here for a week and he is just starting to calm, when his world is about to be thrown apart again.

I plan to go for a long walk with just Mac and Ember tomorrow. Perhaps its time to take Bob's ashes to join Mr Blue, Lexi and Cindy. Its going to be an emotional day, whatever I decide to do ❤️‍🩹

I'm pleased to share that Teddy is now with his foster carer. Thank you to the eight lovely people who offered him a safe haven. His family can now focus on finding a new home, in the knowledge that Teddy is warm, safe and being cared for. ❤️‍🩹

Today we were asked for help with a young gull, who was grounded in a garden. As soon as I got my hands on him, I knew he was in a very bad way. Inside his beak was grey, he was cold and he was emaciated. He was taken immediately for veterinary care.

Sadly the only thing that could be done for him was to give the last act of kindness as he was suffering. Young gulls are vulnerable in so many ways, so please call for help if you see one struggling.

RIP little one ❤️‍🩹

Today I put together the brooder/incubator box that Charlie Bridger kindly purchased for us. Its lightweight and can be stored flat, which is excellent when you live on a boat and space is limited.

Its temperature controlled by a thermostat and well ventilated. Its so clever and compact. I'm looking forward to seeing future babies all snuggled and warm in there. ❤️‍🩹

Having trashed the sofa, the crew are now content.

It's been a week since this little man arrived. He is all over the place and has not been treated well in the past. Tonight he exposed his tummy for the first time. That is a sign of trust in a dog, let alone a puppy.

I'm in no rush to rehome this puppy. He needs time, a regular routine and lots of understanding. The crew have been fantastic with him, so tolerant, even when he has been a total pain in the bum. So we will take it one paw print at a time. 🐾

Ex foster crewmate Snow, looking loved, calm, safe and happy. There is a home for every dog, including for the most shut down and traumatised ones like Snow ❤️‍🩹

Rudi will be leaving us on Friday, to go to his new home in Trimley. He will have an older fur sister, plus a family of his own, including two teenage boys, so plenty of folk to play with. We will miss this lovely lump of a dog, but he needs to move on to his happy ever after ❤️‍🩹

Butter wouldnt melt!

Today Rudi is meeting potential adopters. He is just a lovely dog and the way he has accepted Mac has been beautiful to see.

I really hope this family are the one's, because the longer he stays the harder its going to be on him, me and the crew when he goes. ❤️‍🩹
