Poorly Pongo (Oldies Club Sponsor Dog)
19 May 2012: Sadly Pongo has had to be put to sleep :( The pain in his shoulder had got too bad and the painkillers weren’t helping any longer. There was nothing further the vet could do for him. Our thoughts are with Pongo’s wonderful foster family, who took such great care of him for us. Sleep tight Pongo.

5/5/12 – Basil has gone to his new home, but Horus is still looking.
If you’re looking for a pair of laid back felines, please consider this lovely couple.
