Hugs xx

Sending a cuddle to your handsome boy. Great to hear Kin is doing ok despite his illness. Sure he knows how much you love him. Xxx

Kin Update:
Our lovely boy is still doing well considering. He is still eating although nothing hard as he cannot chew it due to the tumor in his mouth.
He is still a character, happy and cheerful and a joy to have as part of our family.
We are glad that it has not affected him as quickly as expected. Gives us more time with our beautiful boy.
He is however still a grump when he sees other breeds but we are used to his grumpy behaviour and always have him muzzled and give other dogs a wide berth. He has his sister Ellie for company and he is happy with her.
So all good for now.
Licks and kisses from Kin. Our very special boy, who we love very, very much <3

Awww so sorry to hear this news...lots of love to Kin and his family and enjoy all the time you have together xxx

So sorry. Huge hugs for Kin...he sounds very loved and I hope he enjoys the time he has left.

Very sad to hear the news. Wishing Kin and his family lots of fun together for however long you have with your beautiful boy. He will love every moment with you. Xxx

Poor Kin sending you big kisses and hugs darling boy xxx

Just completely breaks my heart. Really don't know what else to say. X

Lesley has called me, it isnt good news for the beautiful Kin, he has an aggressive form of Oral Melanoma in his mouth and throat and has sadly only been given 6 months. Lesley is going to spoil him rotten and give him as much as she can. x

Oh no........ hugs for Kin xxxxx

I'm so sad to hear this news about lovely Kin. Keeping everything crossed that something can be sorted for him.sending him a gentle hug. Xx

Devastated to hear the news about the lovely Kin !!
We have everything crossed that something can be done to help him.
Sending all our love to Lesley and the family xxx

Oh lovely Kin I'm so very sad to read this We remember you in kennels gorgeous boy Life is so unfair to these greys sometimes Special gentle hugs to you all x x

Such sad news. Xxx.

Hoping and praying for some positive news for this gorgeous boy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember you from when you were at Daybreaks and stole so many hearts. Love from all of us. Xxxxxxx

Need to send Kin a huge cuddle tonight. He has just been diagnosed with cancer. Lesley is awaiting news on whether anything can be done. I'm devastated for this boy who stole part of my heart and know Lesley will do everything she can for him. Xx

Happy Birthday Kin! Xxx

Happy birthday gorgeous boy. X

Happy Birthday Kin, have a lovely day gorgeous. xxxx

Hi Kin A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you gorgeous boy Enjoy those extra treats I hope you are getting! Hugs. X x x

Happy b/day to kin.............Xxxxx

Kin has settled in well at home and is clean in the house. His sister Ellie is the bossy one and tells him off if she is not happy especially when he is playing with toys as she sees them all as her toys (poor kin). Have to work with him on socialising with other breeds as he is a big scaredy cat but this will come with time and patience. Our family are glad to have him especially me as he follows me like my shadow. Thanks to all of you for your lovely comments. Lesley xx

At last you can take that cap off. Enjoy you forever sofa. Annaxx

Well done Kin be happy handsome xxx

Love to you all from The New Icemaid Clan xxxxx

Way to go Kin, be a good boy and show them what a great boy you really are x x

Yay, Kin has been reserved and is doing a trial with them now to see how he gets on with there other greyhound, keeping fingers crossed my boy, you deserve it. xx

Oh beautiful lovely Kin...a RED sign at last !! Really happy for you gorgeous Lewisfuggie has somehow kept her promise and worked her magic for you Excellent news for all ! Yey !! Xxxx

This beautiful boy is coming back with me in the morning... I'm going to miss him hugely.... He is SOOO loving... But he is now ready for the next part of his journey to hopefully his forever sofa... Be good our lovely boy...xxxxx

Kin u like so happy to be out of the kennels for the week stopping with lewisfuggie ..I hope u do have a home VERY VERY soon he has a lot of love to give...Xxxx

Kin is my Flo's half brother (same Dad) and they look so much alike, if I could have another I'd be round for him in shot. Apparently she was a bit shouty in the kennels but I've had no issues with her whatsoever. Even if Kin is only a tiny bit like Flo he'll make a fantastic pet and make his new family really happy :-)

Oh poor Kin Brings tears to my eyes that these long stay hounds (usually boys ) have to work so hard to get the sofa they deserve Yet once they've found it are often the best most loving gorgeous and most grateful grey you could hope for Paddy was a great example and is very much loved Wish we could help Kin but we really would need a bigger house..car..garden...!! Hugs to you Kin Someone will have you soon PLEASE x x

Kin is no longer the grumpy boy he used to be, I have never met a dog so loving and so eager to please than him, no one would believe me if I said he has been playing with all 3 of my dogs, shares beds, eats next to others and all with NO grumbles what so ever, he has totally changed, I can not keep him and MUST get him a forever home asap, i can not let him down, it is my task to get him his forever sofa, he just wants to be with you all the time but can be left with no trouble at all, he does not make a sound and greets you with so much love and waggy tails when you come in,

Oh so sorry Kin Everyone is working so hard to help you get your paws on your own sofa Still we all believe there's a special one out there somewhere waiting for you...its just a matter of finding it sweetheart Chin up Hugs and a cuddle to you tonight x x

After Kins viewing last night, the family couldnt all agrwee, so Kin is back up and awaiting his forever home. I will be keeping him with me for the rest of this week to continue his training, but if you would like to view him, I can be available any day or night this week. If there is anyone out there that could continue Kins foster after sunday, please let the kennels know as he is doing so well and could really do with not going back to the kennels. X

Will keep everything crossed for Kin! Xxx

Kins viewing went fantastically. They have 2 other greys and have lots of experience with them as work as a home checker for other Greyhound Rehoming Centre. Keeping fingers crossed as she travelled over an hour to get to me to view him, he met her greys and within minutes were getting on great. Xx

Kin love yr new pics on facebook u r looking so happy with Coco and Torres and Lottie...he need a forever home...Xxx

Another fantastic day for Kin, un muzzled but supervised continuously. I have been putting pics up on Facebook, guess what, he has a viewing tonight. X

Kin is being a fantastic house guest with my 2 greys Coco and Torres and my non grey Lottie. No grumbles from anyone.... Ate dinner together with me being on careful watch..... I think his grumpiness is him assuming the kennels is "his patch"of territory. He needs a forever home. X

Kin behaved very well today with Bailey our border collie... good interaction. With more training would make a very good grey forever home......

We tested Kin with Bailey again today (non grey) and he was fab. Only one very little grumble at the very beginning and then waggy tails all round. This boy really is very intelligent. He just needs a forever home. x

KIN I hope you will enjoy your weeks holiday with other canines be great for you. Did you pay attention how Podge managed to get his sofa. Come-on boy there must be a loving family out there for you.

Have a wonderful time with your foster family Kin, it'll be great for you to spend quality time in the 'real world'. Big licks from R & B xx

Great news Kin! You walked really well this morning :) xx

we wish you well kin and so happy you have been selected for fostering...... xx

Kin is going out next week for a weeks foster and some valuable training... He is going to spend some time with 2 greys and a non grey. Let's hope this helps him and get him a forever home very soon. Xand. Keep your eyes pealed for updates on his progress and if anyone would like to view him. Give the kennels a call. X

Sending my cuddle to Kin there someone out there special for you mate xxx

Come on folk's Kin had been at the kennels too long, how ever great they all are. Joycey can vouch for him I'm sure. But what ever, he need a sofa of his own. Love to him from The New Icemaid Clan. xxxxxxxxxx

I hope you are not still wearing that ridiculous hat/toupee. Keeping paws crossed.
Sorry you will have to share cuddles with Billy today.
Axx

Hi Kin see u sunday for yr walks..Xxx

Possibly a tricorn hat like Poldark

Looks as though he is wearing a beret or possibly a toupee. Keep advertising and hopefully you will get that forever sofa shortly. Ax

Kin I love yr new pic.....Xxxx

What a great couple of days you have had Kin! Maybe not such a good idea to wee on the lady's chair and foot...oops! Never mind you live and learn :)) There must be the perfect home just around the corner for you. Xxx

The gorgeous Kin! How this boy hasn’t found himself a home yet baffles me!
I took Kin to the park today with my dog Libby again, we went to a slightly quieter park for training just to give Kin some time to calm down before being distracted by something else, however he really didn’t need it, he behaved perfectly, he did have two very little grumbles at Libby but these were over in seconds and they were straight back to walking along side each other and bumping into one another. It was an absolute pleasure walking Kin and Libby today!
After the walk we popped into my home for a drink and one or two little treats. Kin was perfect in the house, sniffed around, came when called, even took some of the toys out of Libby’s toy box, he seems to particularly like the squeaky toys.
Before leaving I showed Kin my three rabbits at the top of our garden, he behaved so much better than I ever expected, of course he showed some interested, but there was no lunging or barking at all!! Whenever I walked away he came straight with me and didn’t fuss at all. He’s such a good boy and so affectionate, he loves being round people.
See you next week handsome!

Kin you looked like you had a great time out today with Simon, Jan, Jay and Amber. Xx

Kin's day out to Brueton Park then walking through the park and into Solihull High Street.
Hi everyone, Kin here, here is my story of my day out with my friends Amber and Jay.
We went in the travelling machine, not too far to a lovely place called Brueton Park. We walked along by the duck pond and stopped to look, I wasn't worried by them. We walked through the park, I was a bit silly when a couple of 'fluffies' came past but soon calmed down with the help of Uncool Simon. I walked with Jay and Ellie and Amber and Ontie Jan through the park. There were lots of lovely smells and lots of trees to wee on!
We stopped to talk to two old ladies, one sat on a bench and one in a wheely thing, I had lots of fusses which I loved, then..... oops!! I did a wee on the wheely thing and the ladies foot!- I said sorry with a snuffle and we moved on quickly!
We walked by some shops where we talked to a man in blue clothes with a hat on(policeman). He thought I was lovely and gave me lots of fuss.
We went to this place which smelled funny but nice. Uncool Simeon said we were here because Jay and I were Irish.
Amber lay in the sun and I checked with her that it was okay and I lay down as well.
The hoomans ate some food but saved us a little as a treat, and we started walking back. I was with Ellie this time and I was very good for her.
We stopped in the park and I tried a little bit of Ice Cream (only a little bit honest !!) it was yummy!
We walked back through the park and met an old Daybreaks Grey called Trigger. We stopped to talk and I was okay until he got too close and I grumbled.
Back in the car and back to Daybreaks - what a lovely day I had x x

Kin has been out lapping up the sunshine today with Jay and Amber in Solihull. He really is starting to change and we thank Simon & family for giving him this valued time out. x

What a lovely day out for Kin to look forward to! Xxx

Oh Kin, have a lovely time being out & about on Sunday gorgeous. xxxx

cool its good for the dogs to be out and about....Xxx

Sorry Mary, we may upset you on Sunday.....
We are taking Kin out for a couple of hours from 11ish.
We are gong for a walk in the park then through Solihull High Street.
We should only be a couple of hours so if you are about before or after....
Get your glad rags on Kin. You've people to meet!!

Hi kin my m8 plze give me a nice smiled on sunday love mary Xxxx

I popped in to see kin this morning he was smiled at me! LOL....mary Xx

kin c u in the morning X

Ohh Kin you are also becoming a long time resident. That is not what is supposed to happen. Next time a visitor comes to see you make sure you smile (well that may put people off if they do not know about the greyhound smile). Oke just look at them kindly and do the greyhound relaxed pose that is always good. That with your good looks should seal the deal

Come on folks we have such lovely dogs at Daybreaks, and also need homes or a sofa. Love to all the dogs from The New Icemaid Clan xxxx
Kin will make a great asset to anyone.

Hi Kin looking forward to seeing u on sunday Xx

Kin, you were a very good boy on your walk today. Walked you beside other kennel dogs and our Milly and there were no grumbles at all. xx

Sorry Kin, I put this on Facebook but forgot about here for your prospective new Mum and Dad to read...
I must give a report about Kin's overall behaviour at the Stratford Walk.
He was bouncy and happy to be leaving the kennel, but did show a bit of attitude to a dog coming into the kennels but this soon passed with a firm word.
He was nervous to start at the racecourse and was very unhappy with a couple of fluffy's running around off the lead as we approached a kissing gate. He walked well with no real pulling, but did show a keenness to a dog in Stratford town centre.
As time went on he calmed down and just looked rather than reacting to other dogs, so this to me means he will get over it with training and a firm hand from his owner.
He was very affectionate to all who wanted a cuddle, travelled well in the car and was no problem with Jay and Amber as you can see in the photo.
As we were going through Stratford by the river there were loads of swans and geese. I purposely walked towards them but Kin showed no interest whatsoever.....
He is a lovely affectionate boy, and with a firm hand and a positive attitude to his training, his new Mum and Dad will have a stunning addition to the family.
I will happily take him out again as soon as I get time....

I love the new pics with kin....Mary Xx

What fab pictures of Kin on his day out with Jay & Amber. This is just what this boy needs, time out in the world to get used to what it's all about and how to behave in it. Thanks so much to Simon for taking him, he really is a beautiful big boy who just needs his chance now.xxx

Kin you have some really nice photos here. Looks like you are enjoying a lot of new experiences which should make you great to rehome as you already know so many human rules. Is he not a beauty.

Lovely photo of Kin and his new friends Jay and Amber. Xxx

Kin (the brindle) I have uploaded a couple of the pics of you today when you were out with your friends Jay and Amber (both fawn) at the Stratford Walk, people this lads really needs his forever home. x

Thanks to Simon for taking Kin out today on the stratford walk. Think he is really going to enjoy it. x

Hi can it be Kin and Riskys weekend for a new owner or foster parents?.......x

Kin is a big boy but also beautiful and strong. We met him when we were looking but he did not choose us was to fascinated by a small dog. I am sure him will find a loving home this beauty deserves that.

I really love this boy...he is such an affectionate, gentle giant. What are you still doing in kennels fella...you deserve to be in your own loving home. lt must be your turn soon. XXX

I wondered about the new photo of Kin, and I'm delighted to read about him going out with Joyce & Libby for some training. He is a beautiful boy, and this will really help him, not only in his quest for a home but also for his own long term benefit. Keep up the good work Kin, and big thanks to Joyce.x

Lovely photo of Kin with Libby...he really is a happy lad, loves people! Great to hear he is doing well in his training sessions with Joyce. Xxx

I have taken the lovely Kin to the park twice now for some Tony Knight training, he is a little excited by other dogs, especially when moving fast around him!! He’s picking up the training really well; he calms down very quickly and will happy walk away with you. He even met my crossbreed Libby this week and walked next to her perfectly. He needs a little bit more work but he will get there. He is such a gorgeous loving boy who loves a fuss.

See you on Sunday handsome!!

Lovely to have some fuss time with you today Kin. Such a lovely, friendly boy. Your home will be along shortly I'm sure x

Sending you our electronic cuddle today Kin as you've been at Daybreaks far too long. Big licks, Rosie Po & Brae XX

Sorry Kin I have over looked you what with Tommo, Risky and Cadbury but you are a lovely boy and do deserve a sofa, make be its today as its Valentine's Day someone will fall in love with you. Love The New Icemaid Clan xxxxxx

I don't know why this lovely boy is still in the kennels,we spent a few minutes with him in his kennel,he was very friendly and got on great with Scott our 9 year old son. Please give him his forever home very soon. Good Luck xxx

I walked Kin today. I was meant to be walking Laddie but Kin decided he wanted to walk with me by putting himself in my way so Andy took Laddie out. Kin is a beautiful boy who likes a cuddle or two. He got slightly spooked when part of a cardboard box got blown at him which was quite amusing for us but he got over it quickly and was fine other than that. Lovely boy x

Love those silly ears

Ohh no Kin what a shame that it has not worked out for you and the family. Chin up though there will be a sofa for you somewhere.

Oh Kin, you get definately get our special cuddle today ~. .~ xxx

Sadly things haven't worked out for Kin this time. Many thanks to Heather and her family for giving him a chance. Xxx

Good luck Kin, hope you have found your sofa you certainly found comfortable blankets :-)

So sorry to hear about Zak, he was a lovely boy he passed our home check (along with his Mommy) so we could have Toby Bump come to be our forever boy x x x Thanks Zak <3 x Our love to Heather and family at this time, here's wishing Kin will be a good lad and his sign goes green (I think it will !) xxx

Good look Kin xxx

Hope all goes well with Kin. He couldn't have a better 'trial home' .hope it becomes permanent xxx to Heather and her family

Kin looks comfy snuggled in his blankie. Xxx

Saw Kin on Saturday. He is a beauty and strong, and was also very curious about a small dog, maybe first time he saw a small dog. Hope he will soon have a sofa of his own

What a gorgeous boy Kin is, with the most amazing ears that fold over his head like a hat!! Such a friendly, cuddly boy, big hugs for you my lovely boy. Xx

This boy is gorgeous! xxx
