Great news for Ada! X

So pleased for her.XXX

She has gone green! I popped out again to visit Ada who has been on trial for a couple of weeks and I am so pleased to say she is very settled and doing so well. I am going to visit once a month to weigh her and to take her to hydrotherapy. She looks so content and happy :-) Photos will be taken on her next visit! x

Great to see the red sign for little Ada ....fingers crossed for you sweetheart. You so deserve a loving forever home after all you've been through!!! Think l know who will be shedding a tear or two to see you go! XXX.

Well done beautiful Ada. Xxxx

Ada, this is such lovely news - so happy for you. xx

I can understand how you feel about Ada we do hope she settles really well you know the problem we had with our tinker at first but she soon settled down just to let you know she is now 6 today and we have now had her two and half years time flys when your having fun thanks Ruth for all your surrport over the past 2years or so

I went to see Ada yesterday evening and she was much more settled with the Chinchilla! Since being left I was told she had watched a film whilst curled up on the sofa, eaten her dinner and had a play!

Personally I find it so hard to leave a dog that has been living in my home and been so involved in - I find I become even more protective especially after all Ada has been through with her recovery.... I guess that's why so many join the Failed Foster Club but I am being strong this time!

l will try again. Sorry , but this phone, you only have to breath on it, and it posts a comment!!! Thank you Ruth for being so patient with Ada, and trying to find her the home that she deserves. Be a good girl with the furry little one my beauty.XXX.

Be a good girl Ada...and leave that little furry critter be. Thanks Ruth for being so understanding with Ada , and doing everything you can to find her the the home that is exactly

I have taken Ada out to her new home on trial this afternoon. She found the Chinchilla VERY intriguing so I am going to pop out again this evening to check she is starting to settle..... keeping my fingers crossed.....

oh Ada if only u melt my heart every time l look at this site but for now sending lots of xxxxxxxxx's wish i could send all the in mates a cuddle xxxxxxxxx

What a lovely face and those eyes.....!!! Good luck Ada xxx

Loving the new photos, lots of hugs. Xxx

Just wondering, Pete won't allow another dog, is she cat friendly? She is so lovely. X

2nd comment I've posted for you today gorgeous, but "how photogenic are you little lady?" Answer = VERY. Sending you another big cuddle this afternoon Ada. Tx

I went to the kennels today to pick up a bag of burns. I had to go have a look around, so many kisses through the kennel bars, lovely. I saw Ada in ghe kitchen with Foxy B. She was so exited and kissy, I did worry about her leg when she jumped up the door wagging her tail like mad and giving loads of kisses. She seemed so strong on her hind legs, it was great to see her looking so good. If only I was in a better position I think I would have taken her with me. She is so cute and lovely and been through so much, but is still so happy. Love to you, you are such a special girl. Take care baby. Xxxxxxxx

Bit shocked to see ada was given up on so quickly. It is always a bit hard to take on a new dog and most of us expect a time of readjustment. Ada, in particular, has been through so much. Hopefully another home is not far away. Sending her hugs. Xx

Those new photos are lovely Ruth. She is a real beauty. xxx

this type of news is just so frustrating and dissappointing and always hits us grey owners hard- we just find it hard to comprehend how you can find the real dog in just a few hours- that being said she always always has auntie ruth in the background to come to the rescue so at least she is a happy girl thanks ruth xx

Thought I would post a new photo of Ada as it hasn't been updated since she arrived at the Trust in May! She has settled back at our house like a dream :-)

Couldn't agree more with 'michelleandbertie's' comment below. When we adopted Rosie, Kate gave us the best advice with her words "remember, time & patience". This beautiful little girl Ada, has endured injury and endless trips to the vets/specialist and surely the 'few hours owner' knew of her needs before choosing to adopt her?!
Ada my little darling, you WILL get your forever home and we have all our fingers and paws crossed that next time will be the right family for you. You have been through so much that you are getting the biggest electronic hug we can possibly send to you precious. Lots of love T, J & R xxx

I am very tired so I hope I dont sound too contraversial ! normally its Roy not me BUT........ how can anyonegive up on a dog only a few hours into thier 'forever home together' as said before most of us have a wobble or two, the enormaty of the responsibility ( especially with your first ) and then again with your second a different kind of worry ie will my first dog feel left outetc etc etc, but if you dont give it time then really its best that the dog does come back as they deserve patience, and love, its a whole new world for them and they need people who will be there and not give up too soon !

I agree with NMD07. How can you in such a short time come to that conclusion???? At least baby girl you are with the lovely Auntie Ruth, Uncle Rob and hounds. Take care Sweetie. It will happen. Love and kisses. Xxxx

How can you know in such a short time? iam sure we all have had a bit of a wobble after taking on a new dog, I remember just after we had our first sitting in tears cos I didnt think I would cope, he was very strong and keen on the lead, he came straight from racing kennels less than 2 weeks since he last raced. When we had number two wasnt as bad but couple of days in had the doubts again was it right to have two could they both get attention that they needed etc, but we are all here muddling along, doing the best we can. XXX

So sorry for little Ada.....but probably for the best. Just one comment .....how many hours??????? l will say no more!!! Please give her a big cuddle from me Ruth.XXX

Yesterday I popped over to Bromsgrove to pick up Ada from her foster home as she had been offered a new home. I dropped her off yesterday afternoon but sadly today I have had to go and collect her as her new owner feels it is not going to work out.

Ada is the sweetest, most beautiful girl going. She is so brave with what she has been through and is an absolute pleasure to have. She is back at our house for now and is currently fast asleep after a busy 24 hours!

Good luck little girl. l hope that your meet and greet goes really well !!! You deserve a lovely new home...but then dont they all !!!
Fingers crossed for you sweetheart. XXX

Well done pretty Ada. I came to the kennels on the day you came in. You lay in the office with a sock on which you kept pulling off!!!! So happy that you may have your forever home as you are such a little sweetie. Lots of love and luck to you baby girl, you really deserve it after all you have been through. Love, love, love. Xxxxxx

Ada such lovely news. Hope all goes well with your new G/hound meeting.
Love The New Icemaid Clan xxxx

Gorgeous Ada has been reserved! All depends on a meeting with her prospective Dad's other Greyhound....keeping everything crossed they like each other! Xxx

You are beautiful, Ada. Soft, endearing gentle eyes. And love that white triangle on your nose!

Ada had a fabulous day! At her review at Nottingham it was felt she was doing so well she could be discharged from the care of East Midlands Referral Centre - yay! She still has several months of antibiotic cover as a precaution for her leg. She is allowed on short walks of up to 20 mins twice a day and can play with her toys to her hearts content without us worrying now! After her trip to Nottingham, I dropped her off to her foster home in Bromsgrove and she was shattered! Thanks to Maggie and Paul for fostering her whilst she waits to find that forever home out there somewhere........

How did Ada's review go today? Xxx

Ada was dropped off at our house on Saturday as she is off to Nottingham again this morning as I am taking her for another review following her plate removal. She is being an absolute treasure and Maggie and Paul who have been fostering her say she is fantastic! I am dropping her back to her foster home in Bromsgrove later - if you think you could offer this gorgeous girl a home - please give us a call x

ps thanks to Roger who is coming with me - my own personal sat nav! :-)

Hope all went well with Ada in Nottingham and that she is on the mend. x

Sending you a BIG electronic cuddle gorgeous and paws crossed that you all goes well today in Nottingham. Tx

I hope today goes well sweetheart. X

Keeping everything crossed for Ada...she really is such a sweet little girl, she deserves some good news. Xxx

Good luck tomorrow little one...l will be thinking of you...hoping for a good report. XXX

Good luck for tomorrow baby girl xx.

I am off to Nottingham again with Ada tomorrow for another check up following her plate removal 2 weeks ago. She has been limping a lot but she is so keen to play - it is just horrible trying to stop her doing this :-( I would desperately love this little girl to find a home of her own as she is getting so used to being here - she loves the company of the other dogs, is toilet trained and is very good with food when around others. She is just a really truly adorable girl....... xxx

So pleased for you little one, my boy is out the Droopys stable. Xxxx

Great news! X

After much deliberation todays cuddle goes to Ada, GO GIRL!! Has to be a virtual hug, and in fairness I could actually hug them all!

So pleased for Little Ada, hope her special home comes along soon. Xxx

Such great news, Ada you deserve it.
Love to you from all of The New Icemaid Clan xxxxx

Oh that is great news for ada! So pleased she is doing OK now, she has been such a brave girl. Xx

Fantastic news!!!!!!!!! Please give her a kiss and a cuddle from us. So relieved. Thank you for taking such good care of her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This is great news Ada; Rosie, John and I are sending you the BIGGEST electronic cuddle this morning as you really have been a brave girl. xxx

I took Ada back to Nottingham again yesterday to see how she was doing following her plate removal on Monday. I am SO pleased to say she is doing FANTASTIC! She is stopping with me until we can find her the forever home she deserves..... she is house trained and just such a happy loving girl x

Am so hoping Ada is doing well - my boy Bouncer had plates out after five years due to sudden and unexpected infections in a front leg - my heart was in my mouth all the time for weeks and weeks - but he did recover and all the horridness was worth it in the end. Big kisses Ada - Daisy and I have paws and fingers crossed for you. xxx

any news on how ada has got on today? fingers are crossed for her. xx

Thinking of you today little Ada and hoping with all my heart that all goes well for you. I have given you my cuddle today because you so deserve it, you are a very brave and lovely little girl. Lots of love to you from Terry and big big big cuddles and kisses - XXXXXXXXXXXX

Good luck today little girl. So wishing everything goes o.k. Will be thinking of you today.XXXXXXXXXX

Hope little Ada gets on ok at the vets tomorrow. Xxx

Ada gets my cuddle today, hope all goes well on Thursday. Charlie has just had his massage so we both send you healing thoughts!

Good luck for Thursday ada. Hope all goes well. Xx

So sad that she is having to go through this....l will keep my fingers crossed for Thursday, and really, really hope, as l know everyone does, that the prognosis is positive and she can make a good recovery. A big than you to Ruth & Rob for taking such good care of her, you are both so kind. Ada gets my virtual cuddle today.X.
P.S lf we can help in any way...just let me know.XXX

Just hsd our border collie csstrated st 9 months. Hes not a happy chappy but is been consoled by our grey patch eho loves him.....john/mary xxx

Beautiful Ada was dropped off at Daybreaks on Sunday by her foster parents. I took her home overnight and then we set off early yesterday morning to Nottingham to East Midlands Referral Centre which is a specialist centre for her to have her plate removed as sadly her leg is still not healing.

I arrived back home after a nightmare journey (the M1 slip road was closed off) at around 7.30pm with a very wobbly little girl.

She has had a very settled night, has had her breakfast and tablets and is back in her crate.

The next few days are critical - she is not allowed to move around unless on a lead in the house as there is no plate to support her leg and she has had recurrent infections so the skin is extremely thin and fragile. I am taking her back to Nottingham on Thursday for a review. She is a very brave little girl after all she has been through since breaking her hock last year. She gets my hug today!

Pas Mal Manque' fe'e vos Francaise n'est pas si mal que ca continuez a essayer et vous permettra d' amelierer, mais je ne peux pas vous ai der avec notre clavier. desole. XXX

:))) Xxx thanks!

Hi Kate. It's just to say that my French is really rubbish but honestly didn't look it up. And sorry for the bad French and that I missed the accents etc but really don't know how to do that with my UK keyboard. Just to add now - if anyone can tell me how to do that, I'd be really grateful xxx

Hi Fairy, do we get the English version too?! :))) Xxx

Cher Muddypaws - mon francais est maintenant tres mauvais mais je t'assure que je n'ai pas cherche "faux pas" dans le dictionnaire. Je voudrais m'excuser a tous qui j'ai agace de mon francais - je sais bien qu'il y a des lettres ici qui ont besoin des accents et cedillies mais je n'ai aucune idee comment les ajouter avec mon clavier xx

Big hugs for you Ada, hope your leg is soon much better. X

O.K......l am going to find that dictionary right now!!!! You girls....talk about kicking a bloke when he is down!!! XXX.

Oooh......l so,so reckon that you had to look that one up Fairy Mary!!!!Xxxxxx

Faux pas is all I am saying!

I hope little Ada is feeling more comfortable today after her trip to the Canine Sports Clinic yesterday!!! :-))) Thanks for getting it sorted Mrs B...you have a good heart and a kind soul. I really hope Ada can find a loving home and a careful and understanding new owner.
l noticed that you have corrected your grammatical Faux Pax ( l was'nt going to mention it....honestly )!!!!!!!! Now...l know that you had a long, hard day yesterday, and it was fairly late....but you really must start adding a little something to that Southern Comfort !!!
XXX. P.S. I am desperately looking for a dictionary to check my spelling of Faux Pax...bloody French...knew l should have used "error" instead !!!

I did over 100 mile round trip today to get Ada seen today as she was having problems with her leg. She ended up having x-rays and a screw removed under sedation and she is now on antibiotics. Bless her - she was so brave and I could not recommend Richard Torr at the Canine Sports Clinic more for helping her today. What excellent service! http://www.caninesports.co.uk/

Oh what a shame for you. Happy birthday. Although no cake for you after Foxy ate that lovely left over cake that Ruth wanted!!!! Hope you are better soon.xx

Gorgeous Ada came round to visit earlier as she had crashed into the coffee table and scuffed her leg slightly. She went away with a fetching bandage with sheep on it! She was amazing and just lay on the floor in our lounge with our 5 and was totally relaxed. This birthday girl is one very gorgeous girl and I hope she finds a forever home very soon x

Happy birthday lovely Ada xxx

Happy Birthday to lovely Ada xxx

Happy Birthday Little Ada! Xxx

Happy Birthday. Love Gemma & Stanley & Co.

Sending you HUGE birthday wishes Ada, have a great day. Big licks, Rosie Po xx ps... my Mom's given you her electronic cuddle today as she thinks you're gorgeous.

Happy birthday Ada x

Ada is just fabulous! She has settled into our house as though she has lived here all her life! She is very settled with our 5 greys and is fine being left. She is absolutely fine to go for walks despite her previous injury but just cannot go off the lead in case she hurts herself. She is lovely!

Morning Ada; my Mom's just seen your photo and says you look 'adorable' and has given you her electronic cuddle today. She's just told Dad that she's coming up to the kennels on Monday to get me some food and wants to have a 'munch' of you whilst she's there! I'll give her a kiss to give to you also. Big hugs, Rosie Po xx

Oh my gosh how lovely are you Ada. Hope to see you when I come up to Daybreaks next week xxx

Hope it won't be long before the perfect home for lovely Ada comes along. Xxx

I had the pleasure of meeting the gorgeous Ada today whilst my 2 were having the care package, which I have to say I thoroughly recommend. She is loveley and just lay quietly I the office with Ruth watching what was going on and had a lovely biscuit. Such a sweetie. Won't be long before some lucky person gets a lovely hound. X oh and I got lovely kisses off silky Al and beautiful Arthur.

Oh Ada, you look adorable. What a beautiful face. You definitely get my cuddle today. Xxxxx

Ooops sorry Angie! It is me who is taking Ada home - I wasn't hinting! x

Just realised that I was still logged in when Ruth used the computer, so it is in fact Ruth that is taking this gorgeous girlie home with her, not me! I must just add that she is now fast asleep on a comfy blanket on the office floor, bless her.

This gorgeous girl broke her hock 13 months ago in April 2013. She has had extensive surgery costing thousands of pounds paid for by her racing owners.

She has arrived at Daybreaks today but I am going to take her home as she needs to heal fully and we think this will be easier in a home environment.

Unfortunately due to her injury she is not allowed to be able to run around (even in a garden) as she could seriously damage herself so I am desperate to find her a quiet home asap. She is at the moment very settled in the office and seems very chilled out.

She is adorable and her ears look far too big for her head!
