2026 plans and emails

 Firstly I would like to wish a belated Happy New Year to all those who follow Itzapromise. I'll start with the exciting stuff, our planned litter for this year will hopefully be from Voodoo, she is due in season Feb/March and I will obviously keep the blog and my facebook page updated with progress there. This leads me neatly into the next topic of this post, emails. I have received a lot of puppy enquiries over the last few months and I promise that I do respond to each and every one (though sometimes it might be a few days after I get them) but I have been advised that some people are not getting my responses or that they have been sent to their spam folders, so if you have emailed me and think I haven't replied please check your spam folders in the first instance and if you still can't find it then you are very welcome to follow up with a fb message, text, whats app message or a good old fashioned phone call :)

Fawlty has now been neutered and has joined my retired girls and is enjoying the luxury of an indoor lifestyle (he does still have the option of going out if he chooses).  This boy is just a teddy bear, one that dribbles as he purrs lol, and I'm so pleased that we were able to bring him indoors as after 11 years of being entire there was a strong possibility that he could have continued spraying.  

Kenji is my only entire cat, initially the plan was to neuter her as well, but I find that I'm not 100% sure about the last final step, so although I don't plan on having a litter of kittens in the near future I'm not shutting the door on that possibility yet. 

Finally just a few pics from our recent pics. The vibe was very flat without Tiffany, the rest of the gang seem quite lost without her, but we managed some lively moments. 

Last but not least a quick photo from one on the rare crisp and bright days we've had :) (Cash had a lump removed from his leg a few weeks ago, hence the shaved pom).

 

Goodnight Tiffany x

 On Monday I let my beautiful little waterbaby leave us. Over the last couple of years she had been affected by laryngeal paralysis, but in her usual no nonsense style she didn't let it affect her enjoyment of life, in fact right to the end she was keen to go for walks and was always ahead of us with her tail wagging and enjoying every moment, but her breathing was deteriorating quite rapidly and for the last couple of nights she was struggling to relax, coughing and her breathing was taking abdominal effort. I can't allow my dogs to suffer so I took my happy and alert girl for her last trip. Tiffany was just a perfect girl, although she was quite an anxious girl and couldn't cope with being singled out ( even had to look away when she went to the toilet!) she had the heart of a lion. She was so gutsy and full of life, going through my photos of her, and I have a lot of them, I was hard pushed to find any of her dry, let alone freshly groomed as she was such a tomboy. She was the easiest dog to live with, quiet and settled at home but great fun and always in the thick of it and on the go on walks, the beach being her favourite. She was top dog in our home, a position that came naturally to her though unless you really watched them you would never know as she pretty much kept away from any shenanigans the others had and rarely played with them, only when the girls came into season would she assert herself, and this was normally through body slamming during play. I don't think I ever heard her grumble, she just didn't have a nasty bone in her body. It's hard to express how much I loved this quiet and unassuming girl, I'm going to miss her so much. Our beach trips will never be the same again. RIP Itzapromise Darlin xx
