Fidget Midget An unwanted little staffy cross, found in a council pound when she was about 8 months old. A true en Mum found me in my kennel with my nose on the wall.

Set up in 2013, this little poundie tries her best to break the stigma of a rescue dog- people believe that you need to have a puppy to begin training- but this is simply not true. Fidget was about 8 months old when we found her in the pound. " I was picked up as a stray, and fell into the 7 day catagory- if I wasn't claimed/ rehomed, I was in danger of being PTS- also, being black AND a staffie cross, I wasn't the most popular resident amongst potential owners. I looked really sad and was unhappy and lonely. Mum went to pick up her other dog- Diefenbaker, (deef-un-baker) and the rest as they say is history! PLEASE consider a rescue for your next best friend- it takes time and patience, but you get payment back tenfold! EVERY dog can shine- they just need to be given the chance! Even if you have a family, lots of rescues work hard to check us dogs in lots of circumstances- cats, other dogs, children etc etc. PLEASE don't discard us just because our previous owner has- we all can move on with your help! Don't forget the golden oldies too!"

Would you like us at your event? Have some music you want us to dance to? Rescue organisation? Do you have an event you would like us to come to? I can carry donation tins and buckets! We have a little stall we use to cover our costs, we donate 10% of takings to the charity of the day! Thanks for reading!! FM xx

Mum found me an awesome dinosaur fleece from Barkers & Brown!! I love my jammies, but because they have leg holes, i struggled with my arthritis, and they irritated my lumpy bumps.This one is a warm comfy fleece which goes under my chest and velcros at the side, i can nargle, lay down and roll and it doesnt impede me at all! Also, I like being a dinosaur!! :)

Just because your dog may be getting older, dont just think 'its old age' ask queations, is this new behaviour out of the ordinary? Have they always walked like that? Always look a little deeper, ask questions, seek help, get opinions....mum noticed some odd habits in me a few years ago, contacted a physio, spoke to the vets: mum caught my arthritis in time: i have physio every month and hydro every other week, and im doing so well.
People who have followed me a while know just how much I helped mum with her own health struggles, and ahe has always said she owes me everything....i think we are a team! Yes, i am deaf, and my eyesight is failing, but i am still me,!

Mum says I will be 15 in August!! Apparently thats really good? (Hopefully ithat ncludes my own weight in bunny lugs and treatos!) Ive just had a little dancing session and physio this evening, and I have loved every single second! When mum first started training me, she taught me hand signals and words so I could work with both: its a good job too: my ears dont work like they used to, but i can still see those hands!! :) I am one happy squiggy today!!

Its warm!! I love the heat, but even ive struggled recently! Dad was so worried about me, he got a portable aircon to help! Currently chilling in the front room with the fan on! Brachy dogs, Large dogs (turbo!) Younger dogs and older dogs really struggle when its too hot. Keep a check on them and make sure they dont overheat! Even an ice pack in front of a fan can really help cool the air! Stay safe folks!!

Its a heatwave! We were going to be camping this weekend, but its far too hot. Ive been struggling as im almost 15: dads been keeping an eye on me when mums working: we have a portable ac (woohoo!) Fans and cool coats: enrichment is tricky as training can take a lot of effort in this heat: lickimats and yoggie pots are fab, as are frozen treats....stay cool, stay safe and walk early in the morning or late in the evening!!

As your dog gets older, it can be hard work! Im 14.5 now (we think: im a rescue) and i have daily pain meds (puppy tablets!) For my arthritis, daily excercises to help my muscles, bi monthly hydrotherapy and monthly physiotherapy and laser therapy: yep, mum is my taxi!! Mum thinks i have a little dementia now too, so we are now working on brain games to help me :)
I still throw my dish at mum for a cup of tea, and i do know when its dinner time: precisely 30 mins after my puppy tablet!! :)
