 Baxter was adamant that since Shep had left "Blue Peter", the programme should no longer be responsible for any of Shep's costs, although she did sympathise with some of his argument and felt that the BBC should pay Noakes for Shep to appear in "Go With Noakes" or for 'personal appearances' the dog made.Regardless, she later wrote that Noakes was too angry to discuss the matter and the two rarely spoke again.Soon after this angry confrontation, Noakes relinquished Shep, who went to live with Edith Menzies.
