Please say hello to Maddie, to our latest Rescue Tails recruit.

“It was a strange Sunday when I came to my new home. I went on a walk with my new family and then a long car journey, but as I love the car, I just went with the flow.

The new home is in Lincolnshire and it comes complete with another NWESSR rescue dog called Toby. He’s a bit mad, chases shadows etc. and he mostly ignored me at the beginning, but I think he likes me now, and we have played together a bit. I’ve taken over all his tennis balls, and he has taken possession of my toys, but I like the balls best so it’s a good compromise.

I have really got my paws firmly under the table, I have been to my new vets for a check-up and seen the diabetic nurse specialist. They are all very happy with my progress, my teeth need some attention though, so my new Mum has been brushing them every day, I don’t mind, in fact I like the taste of the toothpaste!

Mum says I am a bit of a “Chunky Monkey”, but since I got here I have lost nearly 2Kgs, nothing to do with my food or injections, just lots of exercise, 3 short walks in the beautiful Lincolnshire Countryside a day. I was a bit wary at first, but now I love running with Toby in the Rape fields and woods, having competitions to see who can put the most Partridges or Pheasants up!

I have also had a haircut too and am now looking short and chique! Also had my pet passport (didn’t know you could get those), done ready for the Summer. Toby tells me we have a new caravan, so in June we will be at the Funday, and in August we are going to France and Spain for 3 weeks.

Last Sunday we went over to Nottingham to meet the rest of the family, Granny and Grompa, and the doggy cousins Rosie, Lily and Hector. We went to Gedling country park and I proved I am a proper Springer and love swimming. Hector took rather a shine to me, can’t blame him as I am pretty,  but please, he’s a Pug!!! Ugly but cute too.

Here is a photo of me chill-laxing with Toby. I’ll update you all soon. Woof Woof. Maddie. XXX
