Esta found my forever home

20/02/2024

Getting some mum cuddles in before I have to go and have a wee operation today to remove a foreign body (likely a sliver of glass) from my poorly paw.

Why oh why can’t humans use bins for what they were intended?

Happy 4th Gotcha Day to my bestest ginger girlie!!!

You’ve been a steep learning curve for us Esta but me & Iain love the absolute bones of you (although we wish you’d sleep a bit later sometimes!!)

You are the most gentle, soft, Velcro sweetheart, loving nothing more than being cuddled by both of us at once.
You still some funny little ways, but you’re getting braver every day and I’m so proud of you.

Lunchtime loving with my gorgeous ginger snuggle bug.
Her head is like a massive hot water bottle 🧡

The weighted blanket seems to be 🤞helping these two who are not fans of the bangs

When dad has walked you soooo far that your ears have fallen off 😂

18/06/2023

When between the two of them they’ve spolied dad with 10km of early morning walking followed by lunch & fuss with grandad (& grandma) treato, it looks like it has been a successful Father’s Day!

Looking after my little big brother who’s got a poorly tummy

Out enjoying some sunshine snoofers this afternoon.

19/03/2023

Lovely card from my Esta & Josh today 😂 (& they did indeed squeeze a present or two out!)
Had a lovely day of sofa snuggles, sitting in the sun at grandma treato’s and a delicious dinner!

07/03/2023

Look at me go!!!!!
I might pull like a train when I’m out with my little big brother but I was doing so well in the sunshine! I snoofered, I listened to the birdies, I pointed at a big fat pigeon.

And just to top it off me and Josh made mum run when we saw one of those squizzle things cross the path in front of us.
Mum might have screeched some bad words and huffed and puffed…..I need to get her fitter for squizzle-chasing duties!

05/03/2023

Mums been very lax at sharing my news. The biggest news of all.
Josh let me rest my massive ginger head on him while we both had a snoozle!!!
He’s a funny one who doesn’t like being snugged to sleep but I’m trying my very hardest to persuade him….

In other news I’ve been doing very well and am getting braver at being out in the daytime when there’s lots of people and dogs about. Mum was very proud of me enjoying a little snoofer the other day. And I didn’t try and run away when I saw another doggo walking towards us either!

04/02/2023

Happy 4th Gotcha day!!!
around this time 4 years ago we were at Gatwick to collect this skinny intense slightly frantic cinnamon whirlwind!

I’m so proud of how far you’ve come; you have the gentlest, most tolerant and patient soul (apart from when your dinners running late 😂)

Youve been brilliant for Josh - you totally got his funny foibles right from day 1 & although the pair of you have had your moments, you’ve helped him be brave as he has helped you be less overwhelmed by the world.

Thank you to Anne-Marie for finding you, and to Lena, Janice & Donna for trusting us with this beautiful girl. You may drive me scatty at times but I wouldn’t be without you my little ginger loon! 🧡🧡

You can take the girl out of Cyprus……

My beautiful little sun worshipper 🧡🧡

Very much a “morning after the night before” vibe here today thanks to the sky-booms last night but we wish all of you in team Apollo love, happiness and warm snugs for 2023 x

24/12/2022

Wishing all the Apollos Angel’s team a very happy Christmas.

My mums in hospital just at the moment so Josh & I are on our bestest behaviour for Dad and our grandpawrents.
I’ve only tried to steal Grandmas chair a few times a day, and Josh and me take it in turns to keep dad company in bed.

We are loving having a great big garden for snoofering and chasing each other and Grandma Treato is living up to her name but we are looking forward to mummy coming home again

Mum is a very happy mum today.

I’ve been quite nervous for quite a long time about walks in daylights as there are lots and lots of doggies that walk in my favourite places. I’d be happily trotting (mum- pulling like a train) along and then bam! Suddenly a doggo I don’t know would be outside too and I’d want to run home as fast as I could.

Well, mum has been sneaking these daytime walks in more recently and she says I’ve been such a brave girl. If I see another doggo I will usually now sit behind mum and wait for them to go away - I don’t like it when they try and come over it makes me go all wobbly.

But today well apparently I’m the bravest ginger girlie in the whole wide world!
Mum took me out in daytime with my brother Josh. We saw his girlfriend who is a very waggy red doggy (mum - English setter who’s been at Crufts no less! My boy likes a bit of posh lol).

She came and said hello to Josh and I sat behind mum and felt a bit wobbly but then the posh red doggy sat in front of mum and mum was stroking her and talking in that lovely calm mum voice she talks to me in so I poked my head out and the red doggy sat very calmly and let me sniff her nose hello. And my word if my little ginger bottom didn’t start waggling!! So I let her sniff my ears and then she got drool on my head which I wasn’t so keen on but she was so soft and gentle and nice to me.

Mum was gabbling in that lovely High excited mum voice she gets when I do something good so I figured I must have done well!! So now I’m home sleeping off the excitement. I might do another one of these daylight walks soon. They’re maybe not so bad!

When the mice 🐁 have been keeping you busy at the field all morning there’s nothing like a Saturday afternoon snoozle 🧡

23/08/2022

The two faces of sleepy Esta….gorgeous, cute and adorable vs sprawling floozie letting it all hang out 😂

18/08/2022

Mum has been looking at something called “memories” and they showed her this photo of my handsome big bro.
Mum looked all wistful and said something about missing her lavender plants and green lawn.
I don’t know what she’s on about….

Please help darling Moose find his happy ever after. He needs a special, calm home with a family who will help him continue to gain confidence and feel secure.

Please read all the info from his original foster mum and if you can help message his page 😊

Snoot boop time 🧡🧡🧡

The lovely Kasper and his hu-mum are climbing a very big mountain to raise money for more of our pointer pals in Cyprus who are looking for their forever families.

I asked mum if we could climb a big mountain and she laughed…..think I need to up her training walks 🐾🐾

Kasper’s page has just reached 700 followers! Thank you for being interested in a lucky rescue dog and his rehome journey 🤗.

Next adventure - climbing Snowdon on Saturday. Please support Apollo’s Angels by sponsoring us at https://gofund.me/ed3923cb We’ve managed to reach £350. It would be super if we could get it to £500 in the last week
Thank you!

This is the face of a big brave girlie! Been to the vets for the annual blood test for Leish; managed to gain herself a fan club and shower everyone in ginger glitter getting allllll of the fusses!

19/07/2022

Settling in for day 2 of it being hotter than Hades and making the most of a cool breeze (who knew 23C would be considered “cooler” 😂)
Mango smoothies in the freezer for treat time later.

I think the cows thought Esta was one of them 😂

01/07/2022

This little lady has been an absolute 100% superstar this week.

Josh has been really poorly with colitis and from the moment he started feeling under the weather Esta hasn’t left his side. Wherever he decided to lay she was there too. When I took him to the vet she didn’t move from the patio door until he came home.
She’s been super calm and chilled. She’s watched over him when he’s gone outside, she’s stirred and looked at him every time he moved or pawed at me every time he stands by the door.

Considering they never cuddle or share space & she does tend to have a rather “bull in a china shop” approach to life lol- I have been utterly blown away by just how sensitive and intuitive she’s been towards him.

Thank you my beautiful Esty-poppers. Mums best girl 🧡🧡

(Josh is doing tons better now - much more the squeaky waggy boy we know and love)

Think there might be a birds nest in this hedge……😂🐾
