Dobby
I was so excited to arrive in my new home and be spoiled and thought I would be the only dog, little did I know. During a RAIN sponsored walk we met Lily who now lives with us. Immediately she took over and my peace and quiet is a thing of the past. I have no choice but to bark for her to stop. They call me the policeman and Mistress is going to get me a helmet. When we are out I put a stop to all foul play by barking at the offending dogs. I would never leave my Mistress side, I follow her everywhere, but Lily is always late, we have to stand like lemons until she is ready to come back from the woods. If I am on the bed that Lily wants she barks at me and tips the bed over with me in it. I have learned to turn a deaf ear and I now balance quite well in a moving bed, pretending not to notice. Above everything else my favourite thing is food. I like everything but Lily does not like cabbage, carrots or beans. I am a very good boy and I am never told off. - Dobby
Lily
I arrived about 3 months after Dobby and found it to be quite tidy here compared to what I am used to and so I set about messing it all up straight away. Although Dobby eventually made me welcome, I think he needs to loosen up a bit. We did a bit of running with the lure and I won a rosette. Dobby only had three races in the summer (due to his age - snigger) and on the first race he stopped half way for a poo! My favourite thing above all is running and chasing things. This was not allowed freely for some time, and Dobby is worried when I go out of sight and just stands there until I get back. I am very pretty and everyone gives me lots of compliments on my looks. I walk like I am on high heels and I had no coat when I arrived and then I turned into a Saluki. I will stand for hours being brushed and Dobby does not go much for it. I fetched a squirrel for Master and am always trying to get some more. This summer I will be trying the Afghan Racing Club. - Lily
Sam
Sam came to us In February 2008 as a 10 month old puppy. He has become a very special member of our family. In August of 2010 we joined a training class as Sam seemed very keen to learn and having taught him basic obedience we were running out of ideas! Since joining we have both learnt so much. Within 9 months we have gained our bronze, silver and gold KC good citizen awards. Needless to say, we are very proud of him! He is such a sweet natured dog, who we take everywhere with us. We wouldn't be without him.
Alfie
I'm Alfie, aka RAIN man. I live with my Mister and Missus and Rosie, who is a Battersea babe. I've been here for nearly 3 years now. My favourite place to go is the local recreation ground. When I first arrived I always had to go for walks on my lead because I love to sniff everything and sometimes I would run off and when my name was called I'd pretend not to hear. Now I'm allowed off the lead 'cos I'm much better behaved. Sundays are long walk days and we sometimes go to the pub and have a few crisps. I really enjoy my food and am quite partial to liver and onions with lots of gravy. My favourite place at home, to do some people watching and to have a good old bark is on the back cushion of the sofa. From here I am King of all I survey. I love the Mister and Missus and am quite fond of Rosie but I wish she wouldn't keep trying to kiss me. This summer me and Rosie are off on our first summer holiday on our own. We'll be staying with my foster parents when I first became a RAIN man, their dog Toby was my first real mate. I can't wait to see him again. Have a great summer everyone, lots a love Alfie Boy.
