Little Suzie’s on the Up ❤️
Suzie 🐾
PLEASE READ THE FULL APPEAL FOR ALL INFORMATION BEFORE GETTING IN TOUCH.
We are looking for a very special home for Suzie, an adorable 11-week-old black and white female Whippet.
Suzie is a lovely, bright and affectionate puppy with a fantastic temperament. She is playful, inquisitive, and very food motivated, and has already made a wonderful start with her training.
She has been clicker trained and knows her name, can sit and stay for around 10 seconds, and is already learning to “boop” from a distance of 2–3 metres — giving her a great foundation for developing her recall as she grows. She is very food motivated, which makes her particularly responsive and easy to train.
She is also doing exceptionally well with her toilet training, now toileting outside with only the occasional nighttime accident.
Suzie has lived with two cats and has been gentle, playful and inquisitive around them. Unfortunately, one of the resident cats has found the arrival of a puppy extremely difficult and has become very distressed. Alongside some unforeseen sensory challenges within the family, this has led to the decision that finding Suzie a new home while she is still very young and adaptable is in her best interests.
Suzie is also very good in the car and travels well. She enjoys listening to music and is generally a lovely little companion when out and about.
We are therefore looking for a loving, committed home where Suzie can settle in and form strong lifelong bonds.
Ideally, we would like to find her a home with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to interact appropriately with a puppy, and preferably with someone who has experience of Whippets or sighthounds. Breed experience would be a real advantage, although the most important thing is finding people who understand the commitment involved in raising a young Whippet and can provide her with the patience, training, companionship and exercise she needs.
Suzie will be rehomed with all of her essentials to help make the transition to her new home as easy as possible. This includes the food she is currently used to and her favourite treats.
Her current diet is James Wellbeloved kibble and puppy pouches, with ¼ scoop of kibble mixed with ¼ of a pouch. Her favourite snacks are Lily’s Kitchen chicken and turkey chews and Wainwright’s freeze-dried chicken, which she particularly enjoys mixed into her food — around 5–6 chunks is plenty. She also has 5 chunks of freeze-dried chicken just before bed as part of her current routine to help keep her blood sugars stable.
She loves Lily’s Kitchen treats, especially the chicken and turkey puppy treats. As she is so food motivated, these are also useful for her ongoing training.
Suzie is microchipped, fully vaccinated, wormed and has no known medical issues. A full veterinary report is available. She is not yet spayed.
This is a much-loved puppy who deserves a wonderful start in life, and we will be taking care to find the right match rather than simply the quickest home.
If you feel you could offer Suzie the loving, experienced and secure home she deserves, please get in touch by emailing [email protected]
When getting in touch please tell us more about you, where you stay, any experience and generally more about your currently life style, work, children etc. Without this information we will not be able to consider you and may not be able to reply.
We don’t accept private messages to this page - email only to [email protected]
We don’t accept calls regarding pets for rehoming, please email only. This helps keep the helpline free for other calls.

In the 1970s, seekers from Europe and America climbed a narrow staircase in a crowded Bombay neighbourhood to sit with an old man in a tiny room.
He had no ashram, no organisation and no credentials.
For most of his life, he had sold cheap cigarettes.
His name was Maruti Kambli. He was born in 1897, grew up in a village, and moved to Bombay as a young man to support his family after his father died.
He started as a junior clerk. Then he opened a small shop selling bidis, the cheap hand-rolled cigarettes of India’s working poor. In time he owned eight of them. He married and had four children.
Nothing about him looked spiritual..
In 1933, a friend took him to meet a teacher named Siddharameshwar Maharaj.
The teacher gave him one instruction. You are not what you take yourself to be. Find out what you are. Stay with the simple sense of "I AM," and give your attention to nothing else.
Most people would have nodded and gone home.
Maruti did exactly what he was told.
Between customers, while counting money, while walking home, he kept returning to that bare feeling of being.
Not "I am a shopkeeper."
Not "I am a father."
Just "I am."
Three years later, his teacher died.
In 1937, Maruti left Bombay and wandered across India for about eight months. On the journey home, something in him settled for good. As he later put it, nothing was wrong anymore.
But here is the part almost nobody knows.
He went back to the shop.
He kept selling cigarettes for almost thirty more years.
He lost his wife, and later a daughter. He kept going to work, and he kept answering anyone who climbed up to his little room with a question.
The world would come to know him as:
Nisargadatta Maharaj.
In 1973, a Polish-born seeker named Maurice Frydman translated his talks into English. The major publishers turned the book down, so a small Indian press printed it instead.
It was called I Am That. Today it is considered one of the great classics of non-duality.
And the people who climbed his stairs got the same answer the shopkeeper got in 1933.
Ask him about chakras, past lives or visions, and he would wave it away and turn you back to the one who was asking.
Think about what that means.
One of the clearest teachers of the 20th century never lived in a cave. He never wore robes. He never left his street. The instruction that changed his life fit between two customers.
Most of us are waiting for the right conditions.
> The retreat.
> The quiet house.
> The year we’ll finally have time.
As if what we are can only be found somewhere else.
He didn’t need a different life.
He needed to find out who was living this one.
At some point in your travels, you will be asked by locals to sit down and share a beverage.
It’s very important that you do so. ❤️
This man was legend 🙏
When I was street performing in Santa Monica, he slipped up behind me, put $50 in my pocket, and said “you’re really too good to be playing out here, aren’t you?”
That voice told me exactly who he was.
We will all miss you. Sail on, Captain 🫡

These Zionists were 3 of the single most famous real estate agents in New York and Miami.
For 20 years they drugged and raped at least 70 women.
Guess who they represented?

Israeli-American brothers sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for serial sex trafficking
——
Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander—three brothers from a prominent Israeli-American family who once dominated high-society real estate and security circles in New York and Miami—were each sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on Tuesday for sex trafficking, conspiracy, and multiple counts of sexual abuse.
Presiding US District Judge Valerie Caproni delivered the sentences in a Manhattan courtroom following an emotional, hours-long hearing where more than a dozen survivors delivered harrowing impact statements detailing years of systemic abuse.
During the five-week trial, federal prosecutors laid out evidence demonstrating how the brothers exploited their immense wealth, high social status, and Israeli-American background ties to lure women to luxury properties—including estates in the Hamptons and international locations such as Tel Aviv—before drugging and violently assaulting them while incapacitated.
While Tal and Oren operated elite luxury real estate brokerages, their twin brother Alon worked as an executive at their family’s security firm, utilizing their network to shield their predatory conduct.
Judge Caproni firmly rejected the defendants' late assertions of innocence and unconvincing appeals for mercy, describing their actions as "monstrous" and likening them to "sadistic, misogynistic sexual predators."
The landmark sentencing marks a dramatic downfall for the brothers, who maintained their defiant stance even as victims confronted them directly in court. Federal prosecutors had pushed for life sentences, citing the profound psychological trauma inflicted upon more than 70 victims who came forward to investigators.
