As you may be aware in the recent months a campaign has been launched for me to have a psychiatric assistance dog through GoFundMe.
Well on the 21st of May 2016 we finally went and got our puppy Amadeus, a standard black male poodle.
However…
We are still fundraising as Amadeus needs lots more stuff!
- pet gates and pens for safety
- specific training
- pet passport
- neutering
- car safety equipment
- agility toys
- leads and harnesses
- psychiatric assistance dog vest and badge
- training toys
- food and treats
- dog clicker
- dog whistle
- grooming
Our target is £2000 we have raised £825 which has paid for Amadeus himself, his starter essentials such as toys, food etc. his jabs, chip and crate.
So if you would like to donate please follow this link:

This is our first week together…
Here is Amadeus in the car on our way home after picking him up from the breeders.

First real cuddles with Amadeus xxx
Amadeus and his favourite cuddly toy, Blue
Amadeus learning about his surroundings
He is not much of a barking dog but he loves to say hello…
Amadeus and Mohammed love their sleep…
Logan our Bengal cat loves puppies and has been taking his time to get closer to Amadeus, they love to play fight and roll around.
Our other cats Omar and Isabella are teaching him boundaries – not his biggest fans!
Omar is the alpha and Isabella the Beta in our pride/pack, obviously Mohammed and I are the Alpha pair that sit right at the top.
Amadeus on a two hour road trip
We went on a car journey and then went to visit Amadeus’s God Mother and trainer Bex Smith. Amadeus and Bex got to know one another and he loved the garden.
Bonding with his trainer is very important!
Mohammed (Daddy) is having some play time with our little dude.
Amadeus also met two other cats at his God Mothers house, Toulouse and Twigglet.
And last but not least before we went to see my two little surrogate nephews on Sunday we gave Amadeus his first bath/shower so he was all clean for his first visit.
Amadeus and Charlotte
