Dusty has ate her first proper meal tonight and really enjoyed it soaked burns with butchers trype meal a dash of soup with crushed bread all moisend together absolutely thrilled to bits she is doing so well she will now come on leaps and bounds , cerial ready for her breakfast x

Thank you so much wispas mum I have just written her diet down that is so helpful tonight again she ate a reasonable meal of small amount mix of burns , chappie. Sardines and a dash of big soup she is very interested in the cooking smells as I look at her now she is very contented snuggled up to chaz very plsd that she is settelin in on the whole can't wait to see whatshe thinks of her real home although expect it will take a while for her to settle with chazes help will pop in on another visit to Stratford so you can see how she is doing thank you again will keep you updated x x

Hi Lin, I had this message via email from her racing owner and hope it helps:

Dusty was normally fed soaked food with fish, meat, tinned tomatoes and a little grated cheese. Brown bread/ cereal with milk (of course).

Hi crackercharlie thank you soo much for your help yes bless her she has gone through big changes and she is such a darling she did have a small meal of her burns and sheaperds pie last night so that was good will give another update soon x

Hi Lin, I introduced u to Dusty on Saturday. I don't think u should worry too much about her not eating. Since she came into the kennels she'd been a bit picky about her food n not at interested in peanut butter sandwiches when all the others lap them up. In the last week she had been finishing all her afternoon meal, I think she had felt a bit more settled by then n I've been doing them burns with pilchard but also adding some rice to their dinners as well. She was a good weight when u took her so I think she is just getting used to all the changes that she's gone through in the last few weeks n I'm sure she'll have her appetite back in no time once she feels more settled. Good luck, think you've got a good girl there! X

Thank you to. You all thrilled that we finally got there with all your help dusty is such s sweet girl and getting Along well with. Chaz they have just come back from a run in Michaells field our only concern at the moment is she has hardy touched any food we are giving her burns and sardines and have also tried her with tinned food maybeits just that she is to get used to out of kennel life any tips would be appreciated x

You lucky girl, that didn't take long. Good luck to you and your humans. Love Gemma & Stanley and their humans. xx

Such lovely news. Love to Dusty and her new family.

Oh wow, met the beautiful Dusty yesterday, she really is a stunner and has a lovely nature too. I'm sure she won't be at Daybreaks for very long. xxxx

Hi Lin, Please come and visit the kennels and bring your lad Chaz with you, he might just find a very special friend! Kind regards Kate Xxx

hi Michelle ; thankyou very much for your kind help ; I shall phone ruth or kate next week whilst we are in stratford to see if we can visit ; will take chaz with us ; and have a chat to ruth or kate ; and meet all your doggies and see how things go for all .

Hi Lin
I am so sorry for your loss, a lot of us have gone through it, and it is so heart wrenching, I actually live on the outskirts of stratford upon avon ! And the kennels are only 30 mins away, why don't you go along and meet dusty, and the others, dusty is a lovely girl beautiful with a lovely nature, she will be snapped up as she has everything going for her, but I would recommend you visit the kennels , take your lurcher with you as sometimes you look on the website and read about a dog and think it could be the one and when you get to the kennels another one who you had not even considered steals your heart, or your lurcher may just pick the one !!! If you are in stratford on the 31st we have a BBQ event taking place, you would be very welcome to pop along ( see events page ) I would really recommend that you give Ruth or Kate a call at the kennels and have a chat to them, I would not think that getting a home check would be a problem, kind regards Michelle

hi michelle thankyou ; we are at stratford upon avon next week as we have a holiday caravan there which we take our pets at all times so not far from you ; pets are now chaz and birds ; we have very recently and sadly lost our rescue greyhound sally to a heart tumer; we have another rescue that lived with our rescue sally for around 5yrs ; lurcher cross boy chaz ;approx. 7-9 yrs old he can be slightly bossy at times but got on very well will sally once he got to know her and she is missed by all ; we will have to find a match for him ; and the prospect and happiness / interest of the importantly new adition ; into our family life and routine ; we do actually live in Basingstoke hants ; i expect a home visit first would be needed to home any of your rescues doggies in advance;we have had home checks for all out four rescues in the past 30yrs ; last one being about 5yrs ago not sure how this would be with living quite away ; to meet dusty and find out more about her would be great ; she looks a lovely dog along with your others

Hi Lin
why dont you go in and meet Dusty, she is am amazing little girl, sometimes you meet them and it answers all of your questions because you just feel in your heart that its rright !!

hi dusty looks a beautifull girl ; does she like traveling in a car ; does she like other dogs ; is she ok to be left for a few hours a day in the company of another rescue neatured lurcher ; so many questions sorry .

What an unusual beautiful girl you are Dusty. Hope I can see you on thursday if you havn't been snapped up. xxx

She was such a darling today in all that rain. xx
So gentle and loving. x
