  1. Hi All

    Hope someone can help.  We are due to fly out to Spain on 14th December (my birthday so please feel sorry for me ) and have stupidly left it too late to book our usual Kennels (Acorn).

    Does anybody know of a house sitter or good kennels around the 53,35,50 areas for 14th to 18th December).

    Thanks in advance

    Annabell

  2. Please someone help Ellie and Emma, she's doing a brilliant job at the kennels / cattery and has already taken on another two cats, plus Monty (bless him).

    If I didn't have 3 of my own I would help, but you know what mine are like!!

    Coco, Sonny and Ruby, will see you in a couple of weeks.

  3. I  have a lonely Jacobs Sheep which has lost his mate and is now looking for a new home.

    He's got a great personality but we don't want to get another mate for him as we got so upset when he died.

    If anybody wants him, please let me know.

  4. So sorry to hear of your loss.

    We bought our two cats over for a trial period one xmas before we moved over in the following March.

    Unfortunately, one was killed by the dogs behind.  She just didn't know what trees were for, coming from London.  We spent weeks feeling guilty, but at the end of the day, all we wanted for them was a better life.

    She's now buried in our garden, with a lovely headstone, so she's always here with us. 

    But we decided to leave the other cat behind with our Son as i couldn't have gone through it again.

  5. We've never had a problem with car hire at Dinard, nor have any of our friends, even if we have been delayed.  Best thing to tell your friends is that when they land, one waits for the luggage (which takes forever) and one go and get the car.  Always works for us.
  6. The guy from Visit France keeps on phoning me to see if i want to now subscribe.  I explained to him that although I get lots of enquiries, nobody has actually booked.  I became a little suspicious because after each phone call I get about 10 enquries.

    I dont think I'll bother subscribing to them.

  7. I helped my Mother in Law find a house in Dinan, just a 5 minute walk from the centre in November 2003.  A few weeks ago we went and had lunch with her and she'd also invited the immobilier around too.  Over lunch we were chatting about house prices and he said that it was already worth about 80,000 euros more than it was in 2003, so I think yes, its probably a good investment.  Good luck with it, Dinan is lovely.
  8. I've got 8 black labrador puppies born on 23rd December so have to name them all beginning with V, before I take them to the vet to get vaccinated, chipped etc.

    So far i've only come up with Vixen and Violet for 2 of the four females and Victor for one of the 4 males.

    So please help me out here - any suggestions???

  9. Hi Emma

    We were also really saddened to hear about Clives death.  He'll be greatly missed by******o and Sonny too.

    We've literally just received a goat and a sheep that were (apparently) due for the table so am unable to help at present.  Not forgetting the two cats that were also (apparently) due to be strangled at birth.

    However, I will have an ask around and let you know if I find someone.

    Good luck Emma

  10. Best moments so far:

    Having a leaving party weekend with 10 of my girlfriends in Barcelona.

    Moving over permanently in March along with my lovely doggie******o.

    Getting a playmate for******o.

    Getting the keys to our "holiday home" in St Cyprien and spending a week there.

    Hubby joining me full time in August.

    But the nicest thing to happen so far is our cat, turning up after being lost since August.  We had to leave him behind with my Mum as we bought our two cats here last xmas and unfortunately one of them was killed by the dogs behind.  He had been living with my Mum since March, then went missing (we think he was taken by a family visiting relatives in her road as the kids wouldn't leave him alone) then she got a phone call yesterday from a vet who was about 4 miles away saying he'd been bought in by a lovely couple that had been feeding him.  They scanned his chip and voila!!  Best xmas present anyone could have.

    Anyway, 2004 isn't quite over yet and******o is now expecting puppies on Boxing day.  Watch this space!  Oh, and if anybody wants a labrador puppy next year, please let me know!!!
