So pleased I found Anna

[kateincornwall]

Reuben has been going to Anna now for almost a year , he adores her and she him . On Sunday we had a bang in our car , the wall won . Our village garage are having the car in today at 8 , could be for the day so I rang Anna to see if she could have Reubs for an extra day , Nelly will be fine with a walk on lead round the village . Bless Anna , she has always said that she will fit Reuben in whenever its possible as she loves him and his joyfulness , I feel very blessed to have her there in times like these , one less worry xx

Oops sorry about car!

But what a blessing Anna really is. The up side of having my daughter live with me, and sometimes my son, is that I don’t have to worry about Cassie should anything unforeseen occur.

It’s always comforting to know there is a sound back up plan should it be needed

It is sooo nice having someone to rely on when necessary for Reuben, I guess also for Nelly when you need help. I have this with Finns dog walker!

I couldnt let anyone else take care of Nelly , what with her deafness and now her eyesight not being so good . My daughter lives over the road , she understands Nelly and would be trusted 100% to care for her , but honestly , Nells is fine with a couple of short walks . She is a funny little thing , will charge around on the beach having her own little zoomies but this apart , she can be very much a couch potato xx

Sympathies on your car. Hopefully you and Paul are ok?

Anna is a true find - happy Reuben (and you) to have found her!

Mmm...tell Paul I share his pain: I had my own encounter with a pesky wall a couple weeks ago. Hurts your pride as much as the car!

Anna sounds lovely, you are very lucky knowing someone who cares so much for your dog and will look after them, and it is such peace of mind for you too.
I took Maisy to day care today and was quite a bit early - "that's ok, it's Maisy so we don't mind" he said.

Hope the car is ok, but also the wall, was it yours?

 

[kateincornwall]

No, it wasnt our wall ! We were heading down a steep narrow lane to the woods , car coming up towards us . Despite him having a pull in just yards behind him , the driver refused to budge so Paul had to back up a fair way ( the air was blue ! ) to a small pull in , he had to get very tight in to allow this car to pass and bump/bash , that was a Cornish hedge ( constructed with large pieces of rock covered in undergrowth xx

 

[Shaz82]

Ouch! Those rocky 'hedges' are lethal

I worry abou

I think anyone in that situation could have bumped a hidden wall, so Paul has my sympathy.

Having a reliable and trusted dog walker/carer is so important. It's so nice that Reuben has someone like that! I really miss Quinn's old walker - she helped us out a number of times in emergency situations and Quinn loved her. We never developed a relationship like that with her new one unfortunately.

I know all too well about hitting walls (and other items)...hopefully not too expensive to fix!

So sorry about your car Kate, but glad you and Paul are alright

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

the driver refused to budge

I'm going to venture a guess and say, "Big SUV, not from Cornwall, driving straight down the middle of the lane"? I just BET the air was blue!
