Hello all,

After many weeks of love, nurture, early morning feeds and much more, the puppies have now been collected by the Guide Dog Association.  Mick and Jo have shared the below information which includes the puppies names and their locations.  The puppies will now be cared for by Guide Dog trainers and will go on to support people in need of assistance from a guide dog.  Needless to say whilst Mick, Jo and their family are adjusting to life without the puppies we are all very proud of all they have done to continue such a vital support for people after a National shortage.

Please see the attached information regarding support with a range of services including helping with energy and food costs. Household Support Fund

Here are a few more photos of Pickle, her puppies and a very proud Mike, our Site Manager!

A massive congratulations to Pickle for becoming a mummy to 8 puppies! Pickle is the proud mummy of six boys and two girls.  Mick, Jo and their family have been on 24 hour duty since the early hours of Tuesday morning when the first puppy was born and continue the ‘around the clock’ care.  I know they are all extremely overwhelmed just how amazing Pickle has been throughout the whole process, including the last minute visit to the vets the other day and how she has taken to her new role amazingly well.  Pickle is eating, drinking and is able to move around again following all this week.  The puppies are enjoying snuggling in to their mummy.

Pickle and her puppies have to remain inside for the next few weeks and we will continue to share the progress of all with some more photographs also.

I know Mick and Jo want to pass on their thanks for all the concern and well wishes that our parent/carers and the children have shown.

At Tenacres we are always proud to help support children wanting to make a positive contribution in their community.  Dylan and his nan are participating in the 5K Santa Fun Run on December 4th to raise money for the Primrose Hospice.  This amazing charity continues to support many of our families during difficult times.  If you would like to support Dylan and his nan please visit his donation page:
