It is reassuring to know that our very active Working Beardie, Lola , thinks she has found a safe haven in Farnham with Tricia and with both Tricia’s two and four legged friends. Lola can be a bit sensitive about new people and separation from her home, not unusual for a rescue dog. However, unlike her previous post- kennel experiences, Lola was obviously well exercised by good dog walks, was bouncy , relaxed, tangle-free and totally at home after 2 weeks with Tricia. She immediately fitted back into her own home routine without any fuss. It is great to know that we can rely upon Tricia to provide both an occasional day’s care or a longer term holiday home for Lola and that Lola loves being with Tricia.

Lola had obviously had 3 great weeks as part of the Merridays family, whilst we were away in Australia. She even came back with her shaggy ‘Beardie’ coat looking better than we have ever seen it. Tricia’s text photos of Lola playing in the exercise field gave us regular reassurance that she was having a great holiday too.
