Couldn’t agree more with your comments. The greatest honour you can give a departed pet is to allow another needy animal to join you. Its never a replacement, how could it be? I am so happy you found each other
Too true Mary….I love the face of Ollie in the picture with Santa…..its like he’s thinking here mum I am meant to be the only white haired guy in this house….show him the door.
Hi Audrey,
I also have another Santa that sits on the hearth. Everyday I can hear a scuffle in the room and when I go in, Ollie has the poor Santa pulled around the place. He just looks up at me as if to say "it wasn’t me!"
Happy Christmas to Rossi, Tess & Velvet and of course, your good self.

Since Star arrived with us she’s been trying her best to play, but Ollie wasn’t having any of it……….until yesterday. Since then they are like a whirlwind through the house. I’m so delighted as every dog should have fun in their life. Thank you Star DSCF2594.JPGDSCF2600.JPGDSCF2629.JPGA year ago today I got a call from Kathy asking if I could foster a young man by the name of Ollie. Ollie was already in foster but his foster mam had to go away for a few days. Now as it so happened, I had been following Ollie on the site. Our beloved maltese, Fred, had died just a few weeks previous and we really weren’t sure if we were ready to get another dog. Fostering seemed the perfect answer. We would just foster and when the time came, would hand him over to his forever family….. WRONG!
I collected Ollie, brought him home and knew instantly I would never let him go. It was love at first sight and I can honestly say that there has never been a day since that we’ve regretted our decision. He was put on this earth to be ours. Our kids are grown up and flown the nest and Ollie is like our baby. I can’t express just how much happiness this amazing little dog has brought to our lives. We just could not imagine life without him. We discovered that Ollie has been microchipped twice and from the first microchip we discovered that he started off life as Harvey. He, in fact, is Kennel Club registered and his official name is "Pine Haven Shadow of Love". Never was there a more apt name for a dog – he is "my shadow". Where I go, Ollie goes. He has known a lot of change in his short life. He had been given up by his first owners when he was 2 years of age and I have no idea where he spent the following 2 years before been given up again. But this much I do know – he will never ever be given up again. Ollie is finally home…..

Ollie continues to bring us great happiness. We couldn’t imagine life without him. He is still my little shadow – following me everywhere. I wouldn’t have it any other way
