@WestMidsFire Very sad to hear of Rob’s passing, fond memories of working with Rob who had a naturally special way about him, always smiling and joking. God bless you mate.

We are devastated by the death of our beloved Colleague, Rob Punshon. Rob joined us in June 2007, serving his first 4 years at Perry Barr, then Aldridge before becoming an integral part of the Response team. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

@DavidLloydUK I have a platinum membership at £74 per month. I was told today at the Milton Keynes Club that I have to pay £40 if I want to use the sauna there??? Use of the Spa is only for Diamond members, and peasant Platinum members have no access to the Spa? Seriously?

@spleenpete @oasis @vinniewba @Phil_Groove Sort it Peter please

@domdyer70 Who are the people in the video? Despicable 😡

Appalling cruelty & a criminal act yet this goes on with the tacit approval of Government across Britain

Very disappointed @TUIUK booked a holiday Apr 23 for Easter 24 via telephone, which included a late check out room, paid final balance only to be informed the late check out room was no longer available, all of a sudden that call wasn’t available for ‘training & monitoring’ 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Joey7Barton @MajorGowen_ Terrible commentary 😬

Have they deleted this @MajorGowen_ ?

@ShaykhSulaiman @Samunique7861 Disgusting 😡

ISRAEL VIOLENTLY ASSAULT YOUNG MAN WITH DOWN SYNDROME

@DavidLloydUK Will PM contact details shortly, just to be clear @DavidLloydUK emailed me the promotional offer! I don’t require support just reimbursement. Thanks

@petej8439 Hi Pete, we're very sorry to hear this. We can confirm that previous trialists are excluded from this offer. Please PM us your contact details, so we can ask the Club Management Team to get in touch and offer support, thanks!

@DavidLloydUK disgusting customer service! Received a phone call this morning (Dudley DL) stating my 2-week pass for £20 can’t be used because I used an offer earlier in the year, and my £20 cannot be refunded! 😡 I’d been a member for 15 years!

Even though the special offer was emailed to me and DavidLloyd.co.uk had no issues with taking my £20!!!!! Cameron the membership adviser’s response was ‘it’s in the small print’ After 15 years paying full peak time membership you can’t return my £20! Appalling service 😡

@NiallHarbison My heart goes out to you Niall, what a special dog. I will continue to follow your journey and amazing work for the street dogs. Tina’s legacy will live on forever, I will help when and wherever possible 💙

Farewell Tina - The Greatest Dog There Ever Was Yesterday at 4.45 PM Tina gently passed away. She was in her favourite hammock wrapped in blankets in my arms and with 4 lovely woman who have helped care for her holding her paws. Her belly was full of sausages and treats, she was basking in the warm late evening sun and her favourite song was playing. Tina was still alive in this picture but as far as she was concerned she was already very much in heaven and surrounded by pure love. When The Time Came, Tina Left With Dignity 🐶❤️ Tina’s test results had been really bad for a month. We did everything imaginable to prolong her life. She followed me every single day on my rounds often going on 7-8 walks with other dogs despite her illness for fear of being alone or missing out. On Thursday for the first time ever she came on one short walk and then retreated to rest. I’d never seen that before. When I came back with my dinner and she couldn’t get up to greet me at the door I instantly knew the time had come. I didn’t need blood tests or a vet to tell me. Tina had given everything she had left to give. Up until the very last moment she always had a fresh clean bandana on, she ate the very best food and she was genuinely happy and at ease with her world. It will please everybody to know that Tina didn’t suffer one bit. I Was Just A Conduit To Share Tina’s Message I get about X20 more messages about Tina compared to every other dog I share. People picked up on her innate almost spiritual qualities through a screen thousands of miles away without ever meeting her. We loved each other deeply but literally thousands of others loved Tina in their own way too. She was a beacon of hope. A soul so pure she could change people’s entire daily outlook from afar. Tina didn’t have a bad bone in her body and her ability to inspire others who were also struggling was all down to her. She radiated purity of soul and gentle goodness. They really broke the mould when they made Tina. Great Things Will Happen In Tina’s Name Her final resting place is not in Giuseppe’s memorial garden with the other dogs who have passed. She is buried beside her hammock so I can sit and tell her how the mission to save street dogs around the world is going. Much more important though is what I spoke to her about this morning after fixing up her flowers… 🔵This will be the site for a new hospital for street dogs 🔵It will be built right on top of her in this exact spot 🔵It will be called the “The Tina Hospital For Dogs Who Aren’t Doing So Good” 🔵The entrance will have a huge smiling photo of Tina 🔵I’ll figure out a way to get the best staff, machines and medicines I won’t be able to do it overnight as I need to figure out logistics, planning and funding but It’s a promise to Tina now, so that means it will be done. And it will be done fast. I can’t think of a better thing to do than having 100s of sick and needy dogs like she once was treated there. She would love that. 187 Joyous And Life Changing Days 🌞 🛵 🌴 Tina was put on this planet for a reason. We live in times with a lot of uncertainty, doom and gloom and endless negativity. After being on a chain for years, having dozens of puppies and nearly dying alone she would have every reason to also be down on life. In the 187 days that we all knew her, Tina was… Compassionate. Beautiful. Gentle. Loving. Friendly. Easy Going. Loyal. Positive. Supportive. Angelic. Graceful. She lit up any room or space she was in. People gravitated towards her. She didn’t need anything fancy or expensive. A tennis ball, her humans and some tasty food was all Tina ever looked for. She taught us all to… 🔵Live fully in the moment 🔵Don’t let the past define you 🔵Go “all in” on loving people 🔵Above all else…Be kind 187 days is not a lot but it also feels like a lifetime. She’s been swimming, made new friends, gone on hikes. had adventures and loved every second. Only a dog like Tina could have an impact like she has in such a short space of time. The sadness hasn’t hit me too hard today. I look around for my shadow and she isn’t there but I’ve been getting ready for this day for weeks. My main feeling is relief for Tina that it all ended so well. That she didn’t suffer at all. That she felt endless love and warmth from many people when she was drifting off. Tina could easily have been a street dog in Thailand tied to a chain that died alone months ago. Instead she was a wonderful creature that will have a huge lasting legacy. After I put the flowers on Tina’s grave this morning and went off driving around feeding the street dogs, I could feel the sun on my back warmer than I’d felt it in months. I saw a beautiful blue butterfly flying on the wind. The sea looked the most aquamarine I’ve ever seen it. That warm sun, gentle wind and beautiful sea are all Tina. She is everywhere now. Tina never asked for anything but I think she would have one wish we could all follow in her honour. To be kind. Maybe this weekend let someone ahead of you in a line. Check in on a friend you know might need it. Send someone flowers. Drop a note into a needy hand instead of a coin. Take a friend out for a surprise brunch. Play with your dogs a little longer than normal. Maybe just be kind to yourself and go for a walk and enjoy the fresh air. The thought of nice things happening all over the world in Tina’s name would be a lovely one. In a world where you can be anything…Be more like Tina. Broken hearted but big love to you all. Niall 🙏🥰

@domdyer70 @BornFreeFDN Disgusting treatment to the most beautiful animal on our planet, let them go 😢

Imprisoning & humiliating wild animals is nothing to smile about @BornFreeFDN

@NiallHarbison Thanks for the update Niall, great to see the progress and the positive impact you are having on the dogs 🐕 keep up the fantastic work and engaging blogs, look forward to following more updates 🙏🏼

In general it was progress on all dogs today. All got better instead of worse and no massive new problems. I’ll take that win after some tough days. The lowest maintenance and best all round boy Derek and he had a little dance to celebrate 🙏🥰 6/

A thread of only good news to help your day along… After some very tough days Tina and Snoop have been up and about today. Big progress from both of them with their treatments….🧵 1/
