This is Pepe our Beagle, we bought him after we arrived, typical Beagle loves roaming all over the place and barking and virtually does as he likes.










Biddy is our Scottish Terrier, she was a border with us and was to stay six months waiting for her Pets Passport, during her time with us she stayed in our house we got so attached to her we asked her owner if we could keep her.
Her likes are Bed, Food, more bed, more food and then she has a nap.

Then theres Sabe one of our three cats we found her in Sabeco supermarket under the Red Bull Counter in Tortosa, hence the name.




Lucy and Lucky, both were left by there owners so we took them on, both lovely cats, brother and sister.

The two cats we bought from England 22 year old Poppy, died after being here for three years, we were worried about bringing here but she had three great years here, and Fozzy our big fat lovely tom died last year as did our Darling Joe our Bichon who we miss so much.






And finally Toby our ever faithful Lab with Joe and Sandra sat in our garden in Barnstaple.
They were both bought at the same time from the same breeder and were inseparable.
Toby is 11 years old now and has such a fantastic nature although a little daft at times, he tends to follow our beagle if we ever let them out together and turn our backs.
Joe our lovely Bichon died of cancer last Christmas, we were devastated and miss him so much he was such a character.

Toby has been diagnosed with enlarged prostrate, we've been having daily visits to our local vet for him to be catheterised, he's been on a shed load of tablets and injections.
Finally we had to take him to Vineros Veterinary Hospital, on the coast.
Because of his age and hip displasure we decided not to give him the operation due to the possibility of him putting on weight but this would solve the problem, so the vet suggested an implant of Suprelorin, this, over time will reduce Testosterone and hopefully have the same effect of reducing the prostrate.
The implant is for six months at a time and although expensive (100 euros) not so invasive, we are then thinking of some type herbal treatment.

At last Toby seems to be back to normal, you can see the relief on his face, so the implant must now be working.

13 May 2009.
We have a new addition to our family, this little kitten was abandoned in Flix, a village quite close to us and was found in a sewage pipe with two others, we named her Susie, she has no fear of the dogs but the other three cats are not too impressed.






She's only been with us a few days and already she has settled in, certainly with the dogs but Lucy is not too happy with her, the other two, Sabe and Lucky seem to except her.
