Apologies to anybody who visits Daybreaks today and is serenaded by our boy Jonty. He loves the sound of his own voice unfortunately, and is living proof that you rarely get brains and beauty in the same package..... But don't let him put you off if you are new to greyhounds, nearly all are a lot quieter than he is! Xx

Happy Birthday Jonty! Hope he has had a lovely day....sure he will get quieter as he gets older!!! Xxx

Happy birthday handsome xxx

Happy Birthday Jonty - have a lovely day sweetheart.x

Happy birthday to our big blue idiot, Jonty. I have had a chat with him today and told him he is now a big boy and needs to start acting like one but I don't think he has taken much notice. Has anyone got any earplugs they don't need?

Happy Birthday to you, Jonty. Hoping your new home is great and you are getting lots of love.

We have finally signed on the dotted line for Jonty. He is not quite the masterful male that Joe envisaged, more of a big daft lump who is led into endless trouble by his much brighter big sister, Badger. They are generally referred to as 'that pair of muppets' which seems to sum them up. He is a very vocal chap (Ruth said that would stop as soon as he was in a home ha ha) and is the most unusual chocolate brown with silver tipped ears, despite his official colour being blue! Love Jane, Joe, Badger, Nina and Jonty xx

Well Done Jonti/Rooney. Good Luck in your forever home beautiful boy

When is Rooney being signed up???

So pleased Rooney has found a home, we saw him when we went to see Dexter and commented on how beautiful he is, well done, great news xxx

Aww, so pleased this lovely boy has a home :)

I do like his new name....Jonty really suits him! xxx

Yeah yeah I said no more and ended up with 3 but on a serious note you really have got a great boy there he just craves to be loved by everyone the best of luck to you all x

Yes we have been well and truly stitched up by Mrs B, but I was already regretting the 'foster' conversation by the time we got home. He is such a lovely boy, twice as big as he looked in kennels but seems to be a real softie. We have named him Jonty, the current Jonti in kennels reminded us of a sporting hero of ours (Jonty Rhodes) and I just think it is a lovely name. But from Rooney it could only get better! So now love from Jane, Joe, Foxy, Badger, Nina and Jonty xx And we definitely are not adding any more..............

Rooney this is such good news my lovely! I love the way you were only supposed to be fostered - but let's face it, who could resist your charms! Be a good boy and enjoy your lovely new home - best wishes to everyone. xx

Oh Rooney boy so very pleased for you as I had a real soft spot for him as he is just such a hug monster, every time I went to collect my daughter there he was waiting for a hug- now be a really good boy and have a happy life xx

Dearest conman...... erm..... really don't know how the blue fostered sign changed to the lovely red reserved sign.... I swear - or is it just the computer knows you so well!!!!!

I think we need a 'I would like to trial to see how it goes but I am going to keep him anyway ha ha' button - what do you think?! Love you Padstow Joe and Jane :-) :-) :-) :-) x

So very pleased Rooney has been reserved...be good and be very happy gorgeous lad! xxx

Now this is interesting... when we were at the kennels today I said to Ruth 'can we call Rooney a foster for now' and she agreed, and the website said 'fostered'. A few hours later he has mysteriously changed to 'reserved'. I think she knows us too well! Very little chance of him being returned I think, he is a lovely boy and our 3 girls all seem to be very chilled around him. Just got to find him a new name................ Jane, Joe, Foxy, Badger, Nina and ??? xx

Lovely new photo of Rooney. xxx

I saw Rooney today on my visit and he said hello to me and Daisy. Hes a handsome chap just needing someone to love him and get him all shiny and contented. Hope that special person finds him soon. xx

Rooney went to Melbicks today, he was very well behaved although he got a little vocal when he saw another dog he was easily distracted, he had lots of cuddles from children and loved it! Such an adorable boy.

Rooney is a gorgeous boy, loves a cuddle. He is great to take for a walk...just not keen on being in a kennel. He needs someone to fall in love with him and take him home. xxx

I'm afraid Rooney is defiantly not cat friendly although he is fine with Charlie my non grey! X

Julez1, I would say that, judging by Rooney's reaction when we spotted a cat in the lane whilst out walking this morning, he isn't cat friendly!! He hasn't been properly cat tested yet though, but he can also be quite excitable when the Labs at the farm are out and barking. In every other way he is a lovely boy, very friendly and he loves fuss and company.

Does anybody know if Rooney is cat and small dog friendly?
He is an amazingly handsome man and i cant understand why he hasnt been snapped up!!

For such a big boy Rooney is such a gentle lad he loves loads of fuss and would love somebody to take him home so that he could have even more hugs and kisses xx

Rooney is a beautiful, big, stocky boy who is so handsome and keeps demanding fuss all the time! Such a sweetheart. x

What wonderful ears x

Met lovely Rooney today....he is far more handsome than a certain footballer! xxx

Oh you are a lovely. Looking boy you get my hug today you look very similar to my Minnie so here's a woof to you from her bet your related some were along the line bet you won't be there very long good luck x

Poor love having a name like that!!
Thankfully there is no Shrek resemblance with this handsome boy :)
