On Remembrance Sunday, for all those who lost their lives in the line of duty:
Lest we forget…
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
In Memory of the late Hugo, who passed away a few months ago.

Today is Armistice Day. We will remember them.
Our proud pug wearing her Poppy Bow Tie, is Dot!
Her Mum, Ellie, made it and many more, to raise funds for the Royal British Legion.

We would like to thank Ellie, who is a regular fundraiser for PDWRA too, creating various designs, to donate towards our pugs in need.

To all our followers and kind donators towards Ellie, who with significant healthcare challenges due to her previous life, being bred from and without sufficient vet care, is recovering really well a few weeks after surgery.
With the aid of a baby monitor, foster Mum was able to get some sleep during those nights afterwards. Ellie does still have to be supervised while eating and is limited to a few minutes exercise only, but she has a brand-new buggy too and remains inseparable from best bud Rolo who follows her everywhere to ensure she’s ok!
We couldn’t achieve any of this for Ellie and others like her without the support of volunteers and supporters of our cause – Thank You!
For Ellie’s full story:

Up to a third of our dogs struggle through the fireworks season plus double the normal number go missing so make sure their microchips are up-to-date.
– Watch out for spent fireworks lurking under leaves when walking your dogs, they contain very hazardous chemicals!
– Hopefully they’re already walked before it’s dark
– Feed your dog before they begin or your dog may be too stressed to eat.
– Make sure your house and garden are escape-proof. They can bolt if they’re scared.
– Keep your windows and curtains closed, turn lights on, and the TV or music to help drown the noise.
– Create a safe, cosy place to settle your dog before it’s dark.
– Keep them entertained to take their mind off the noise.
– Comfort and reassure them as they are sensitive to picking up on how their humans are feeling.
Classic FM are broadcasting “Pet Classics” from 6pm to 10pm on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 November, which promises relaxing symphonic music, with dedications and practical advice courtesy of the RSPCA on the two busiest nights of the year for fireworks.
