This litter seem so intelligent. After just 3 feeds they have all learnt to sit in front of me before food time. Early days but all showing great potential.

Willow has been doing a spot of heel work with one of her pups. Seemed to be progressing well until something more interesting came along

Today we had a visit from a colleague from @nottsfire who took photographs for a calendar to support @firefighters999. Certainly something new for the pups. #whowastakingphotosofwho

Retired #fire #dog Maysie is being a fantastic grandmother to the pups. She absolutely loves them and is so kind and gentle. She has even produced milk just to lend a helping paw if ever required. #specailfamilytime

Willows continues to be such a good mum and the puppies are doing so well. I never knew that Willow had such a soft mouth lifting the pups back into her. #tennisballsdontgetthesametreatment

Huge thankyou to @WhiteCrossVets #Northampton today. During our early morning walk Maysie decided to attempt to jump a barbed wire fence. Never before and hopefully never again.
Very sore but very brave. Love her

Having a home escape plan so you know how to get out in case of fire could be a lifesaver - sit down with everyone you live with and work out how you'd get out, with a plan B option just in case. Read more advice here: ow.ly/xV0430jM1oy #homefiresafety #escapeplan

Stay safe when heating your home in cold snaps – keep heaters away from flammable materials, turn them off when you go to bed, have chimneys regularly swept, use a fireguard for open fires, get gas appliances serviced regularly, fit & test CO and smoke alarms. #homefiresafety

Brrr, the #BeastFromTheEast is making it very cold this week! If you're using heaters to stay warm, always make sure you unplug them when you leave the room or go to bed, and keep them away from flammable items. Please remind relatives and neighbours who may use heaters too.

Smoke alarms could save your life - fit at least one on every level of your home and #PressToTest so you know they're working this #TestItTuesday. The ideal alarm position is the centre of a ceiling, and on the hall and landing to detect smoke and be heard throughout your home.

Just like smoke alarms, carbon monoxide (CO) alarms can be lifesavers. CO is a highly poisonous gas with no smell, taste or colour, meaning it can poison or kill you without you realising. Fit CO alarms to your home, test regularly, & don't ignore any of these symptoms #BeCOaware
Protect your home and family from fire – fit at least one smoke alarm on every level and test them monthly. The ideal alarm position is on the ceiling in the centre of a room, and on the hallway and landing so they can detect smoke and be heard throughout your home.
Smoke alarms save lives, but only if they work. Fit at least one on every level of your home and test them monthly to make sure they are in good working order. #Presstotest

If you or someone you know will be out celebrating this December, take a look at @RLSSUK’s Don’t Drink and Drown campaign, raising awareness of the dangers of being near water after a night out and when under the influence of alcohol. #DontDrinkandDrown youtu.be/ClcM2QCldsY
