Wilco joined our family a little less than 11 years ago.

He needed rescuing, and so did we.

Today, just after 5pm, Wilco passed away peacefully, with both Gary and myself giving love until the very end.

Molly decided it would have been too painful to be with him, so she said goodbye when we left home to go to the vet.

We will never forget him and everything he has done for us.

Rest easy, our lovely boy... our love for you will live on.

Well done to gorgeous Betsy and her human for passing the Kids Around Dogs - Dogs In Schools Assessment!

Betsy not only demonstrated to be a very sweet and polite young dog (2 years old), but she is already bringing a lot of joy to the kids and members of staff at the school she assists at!

Some kids have told me that Betsy helps them to get into school in the morning when things are hard and they struggle to attend lessons.

Members of staff said what a valuable member of the school Betsy is!

She is definitely bringing a lot of joy to everyone! Isn't that wonderful? ❤️

Dogs in Schools 📚🏫

Let the kids know when the dog is in can help meeting some expectations.
While the dog can cause excitement, knowing when she is in, can in fact help to lower the craziness of kids around dogs.
🐶

The school dog should not be a surprise, but should always be announced in advance.

Getting ready for a School Dog assessment today in Wimborne!!!

I love seeing dogs in schools, as long as the preparation has been done properly, and an assessment done professionally takes place, dogs in schools can have a wonderfully beneficial effect in kids and members of staff!

If your kids' school is planning on having a school dogs, or they already have, make sure they get the dog assessed by a National School Dog Alliance Affiliate (many kadkidsarounddogs are qualified to assess school dogs).
