Ramar
Don't know who you are.
But from Henrys posts I just know he's having a fabulous time and thank you for giving him the support that he needs and deserves. Being the only dog I am sure is the way forward.
If we didn't have the two boys his paws wouldn't touch the ground, he would be here sorting us out.
Once again thank you
Roy
Cant put Michelle even though this is one special boy that as found his way into her heart ! she hates me posting under her account, but I cant be asked to set up my own.

My darling boy, I am so pleased you are having fun. I guess Mummy has spoilt you too much & should have said that you are not always keen to go out in the rain, let alone walk in puddles!! Heaven forbid!! I do hope you have been kept warm with a nice fleece on whilst out. I am so proud of you Henry for coping with these difficult circumstances. Mel is also being a brave soldier and was able to have his stitches out today. Archie hasn't been completely comfortable due to his back legs being so weak so we are increasing the pain meds a little. Your grandmother has not been good either so I had a meeting with her GP and district nurses this week. Like Archie, we are all trying to keep her comfortable. It is very difficult situation. I think you need to explain to your hosts that you are used to sleeping either with Mummy in her bed or in a bed next to hers. Maybe they could consider bringing you upstairs even if they dont want to share their bed with a furry child!! You have to try to understand that not everyone does. Our bed is very lonely without you although I have now got more room to move!! I am thinking about you every day sweetheart & will come to visit you on your return. Keep being the beautifully behaved boy that you are & enjoy the rest of your stay. All our love & hugs, Mummy, Mel & Archie xxxxxxxxxx

Good Morning Daybreaks, Henry here,
I was too tired to post last night so I thought I'd update you on my mini break this morning.
My hosts are learning quickly that I don't like to get my fawn paws dirty. They appeared quite amused that I should skip over the puddles on the tow path during our canal walk yesterday....what did they expect me to do!
Also I have to ask, how many times must I move my bed into the middle of the kitchen before they realise that I don't want to sleep by the radiator....they're clearly not listening!!
Not sure exactly what plans we have for today however I think they are getting the message that my preferred mode of transport is 4 wheels so hopefully a trip out will be on the cards. This will mean that if I am needed to 'interview' prospective 'forever parents' I am only a phone call away.
Love to you all Henry x
P.S. Just between you and me, one thing my hosts have got right is that I do enjoy my medication wrapped in a few pieces of ham......do you think they'd get me 'honey roast' or is that pushing it...LOL

I am so happy to hear about Henry, Henry has touched both my husbands and my heart, we had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times and he had a run with our two at daybreaks, there is something very special about him, he reminds us so much of our first greyhound, if we were in a different position and we had not got our two, we would have apopted Henry in a heart beat, I would say to anyone Intrested in Henry please do not be put off by his age he has years ahead of him , it would be so wonderful to see Henry settled, I look forward to hearing how Henry is progressing, fingers crossed for Henry, I know many people love this very special lad xx

Thats my boy!!! He has always been well behaved and I would like to stress to everyone generally that there are no behaviour issues other than if he sleeps with another dog, which again I must stress is my fault. Mel & Henry both had real separation anxiety if forced to sleep away from me. However, they have no problem in sleeping in their own beds next to mine. At the time of this incident they had been in their own beds but then without my knowledge as I was downstairs they both ended up on my bed. He is wary of men, for what reason I dont know, but does come round. Like my other 2 boys he has always enjoyed going to different garden centres, Solihull town and various parks. There have never ever been any issues around food or when I'm giving treats to them all. We are still very devastated and missing him like crazy. It is some small comfort that he is being treated like the special boy that he is. He too will also have been affected by being taken out of his home so he also deserves extra love and attention at this miserable time. He probably had a tiny accident because hes not in the bedroom. I hope he enjoys the rest of his stay. Please keep showing all the love and kindness to my very special boy. With more gratitude than I can say here. Seana x

DAY 2
Last night Henry tucked himself down on his bed by the radiator in the kitchen and that is where he stayed with night lights and classical music playing all night, not a murmur to be heard. He did have an accident during the night but nothing a mop and bucket couldn't sort out!
We visited a garden centre today, Henry was a touch apprehensive to start but settled quickly. He appears on occasions somewhat shy, especially around men he doesn't know however he soon overcomes this with a wag of the tail.
Henry is exceptionally well behaved when we are eating our meals, he lies patiently on his bed until we have finished and then is rewarded with a treat.
As the day draws to a close it has become very clear that Henry asks for nothing yet gives so much......bless him.

Henry has come to stay with us for a few days for a change of scenery. He snuggled down In the back of the car for the 25 minute journey home, not hearing a peep out of him. Within a couple of hours of him exploring his new surroundings he had found himself a place to 'chill out' and take a nap. We went on an afternoon stroll by the river and around the estate, he was a dream on the lead, clearly enjoying the different sights and sounds. When we got back he was ready for his tea.......it didn't touch the sides!! He is so gentle and responsive, it is a real pleasure to have his company.

We had the pleasure of meeting Henry a while back, he and our two had a good run round at the kennels. He is one super hound. My understanding at the time was that probably he would best as an only dog. So on occasions we have to do the right thing, and accept that as much as we love them, their needs must come before ours.
So don't beat yourself up, he not yet be in his forever home, but he is in the second best place.

My sweet Henry, the last 6 days have been horrid without you and so I was really glad to see you today. As soon as you saw me you threw your arms around my neck kissing me all over. I was so worried you might ignore me as a punishment for having to take you back. Please, please know I have only done this for all our sakes. Mel is feeling much, much better and keeps sleeping in your bed! I will not give up hope that we can sort the problems out so that you can return to your rightful place in our family. Its my fault Henry, not yours. I should never have let all of us sleep together and as this is the main issue I'm afraid we would all have to learn to sleep independently. Time can help enormously when situations and feelings are raw. I know you don't understand why you are back in the kennels but whilst you are there make Mummy proud and show everyone what a well behaved brave soldier you are. Everyone there is there to help you Henry and all your kennel pals. When Mel has healed more I will bring him to see you. Ultimately, it will be up to Mel to forgive you and decide if he can move forward. I think you have a good chance if you give him lots of sniffs and eskimo kisses. However, as you know Archibald is not so forgiving and I know he has been winding you up a bit. Hes very sad that his time is more limited than others and he cant do what others do. I have to think of him also and I believe he needs peace and more of Mummy's love for himself in these final months. Try to understand it doesn't mean I love you any the less. I am trying to consider everyone in these difficult and sad times. I will come and see you later this week. I love you with all of my heart darling and that will never change. Xxxxxxx

To say I & Mel are traumatised & devastated is an understatement. I cant see properly as my eyes are swollen from crying & part of my heart has shrivelled away. Considering this is the second operation in 7 weeks that Mel has had to endure he is dealing with things very well & we are grateful that things weren't even worse. However, having spent a last night with Henry having several bad dreams about it all, and trying to comfort him, & last night & this morning with Mel softly crying regularly because he misses Henry I am at a loss. Archie isnt bothered as he has never forgiven Henry for biting him some months ago, albeit a small bite on his ear, but Mel is a truly pure soul with not a streak of badness or grudge in him. Whilst the incidents have occurred when I am at home what happens if Im out??? Yes, I could lock Henry in the kitchen but is that fair on Henry?? Have I over reacted to everything, but, when I look at Mel's injuries which I feel are dreadful I wonder what else I should have done. Our vet, & friends who have no experience of greyhounds, say I did. The house feels like someone has died. It is little comfort that Henry is safe & knows the kennels. No one can love him as much as his mother. My little family has been ripped apart. Yes, I do believe that Henry could also thrive as an only child. However, with Archie facing his own mortality in the probably not so distant future, that leaves Mel as an only boy. I believe it would be hateful for me to get another dog if Henry is still in kennels & with the epilepsy & new problem I think it will be years before there is someone like me of a certain age, single, only part time working, who would devote their whole being to having an animal family. I am grateful for people's understanding but I don't want sympathy. I want someone to tell me if there is any way I can help my child & bring him home whilst keeping the others safe. I believe normal loving caring people do not gey over traumatic events but if they are fortunate they come to terms with things. I can not imagine either in this situation. Too many people return animals to many different charities, sometimes without real thought about the consequences for that animal. I don' t want to be one of those statistics. Henry always slept next to me with his arms around me or his head cradled in my neck. It was simply horrid this morning to see the empty space. I would gladly lose a limb rather than be in this position.

Sadly Henry has come back to the kennels today. Despite every effort by his owner to make things work; after a third incident involving her other Greyhound she decided it would be best for everyone to return him. Seana is devastated that it has to come to this conclusion. After much discussion we all agree this is the right decision for Henry. We are sure Henry would be much happier as an only dog. He is a very affectionate and friendly lad. Our thoughts are with Seana for making such a hard decision. Xxx

Cant wait for saturday sweetheart. Sorry we didnt have long today. I should have called but whilst you were at the vet I had lovely cuddles with everyone else. Little Josie was so affectionate & Tommy was doing his best to show me how gorgeous he is too. And as for noisy Nosey he is just adorable but sooo strong. I know you will be a brave boy when you go next week and no matter what the problem is, if there is one, just know that we all love you very much and nothing will stop you coming to live with us. We will have a chilled saturday evening with village walks and then if the weather is in our favour we will go to sutton park on sunday. Be a good boy until saturday. Collect you about 2pm. Auntie Danni is popping over to see Mel and you a bit later. Live you baby boy. Mummy, Mel & Archie xxxx

Yayyyyy....the sofa will be arriving sat 15 August. We all had a lovely weekend. All the boys were good in Elmdon Park. They didnt even really raise an eyebrow at the ducks, not in the water or whilst waddling along the path. We couldnt all quite fit in the bed......may have to consider a king size if it will fit in.....so Henry had to sleep in bed in bathroom whete he could keep an eye on us all. However, he got a couple hours cuddles with me in the morning when Archie gallantly gave up his space. He still loves my neck, choosing to sleep with his front legs entwined around it although he is learning not to dangle from it but just put them round for a cuddle. Hes a tall lad, bit bigger than Melly. He will come home next weekend for another sleepover and then we are a go go soon after. They all seem to get on well enough to tolerate any differences so Im delighted. We are really looking forward to this super placid affectionate lad joining us for many years of good times. Thank you everyone for your interest and support. Its been so appreciated. Live Seana, Mel & Archie xxx

We have all enjoyed a lovely day & so the sofa is nearly there. We walked thru Brueton Park which wasnt too busy & stopped at Costa for treats & drinks. We spoke to several people & polite children who asked if they could stroke each boy!!! The boys lapped up the attention & then we walked back thru the park. Henry walked beautifully & took no notice of others but Mel as usual did! I certainly wouldnt let him off the lead!! We then had a nice lunch of freshly cooked mince & biscuits & went for another long walk into the village to visit the boys Godmother, Sheila & whilst Mel was squeaking to get at the 3 tiny dogs she had locked in the kitchen (she does dog walking for people), my boy Henry snuggled up to me on the sofa. We then walked back up the village visiting another friend & then it was time to drop the boys off & take Henry back to Daybreaks. They all got on well in the car & there wadnt a squeak between them so we are off to an excellent start. I will visit my boy during the week & take the boys probably then Henry will come for an overnight stay next weekend to ensure they are all happy with sleeping arrangements etc. So, thank you everyone for the support & interest. We all really appreciate it. Will let you all know how next weekend goes. Xxx

Have totally fallen in love with my boy!! Hes so gentle & affectionate. Hve visited him every day this week & this afternoon we snuggled up together in his bed for a little snooze & lots of tlc. Even when all the others were kicking off for whatever reason he just snuggled with me nicely. He was very vocal when I left so I hope that means he likes me too. Mel & Arch are looking forward to saturday. I am praying they will all be alright, especially Mel as he is glued to me at home & might need a bit of help with separation anxiety. He doesnt bark or chew etc but he follows me everywhere. I cant even go to the loo in peace!!! Plus he sometimes leaves parcels of poo & wee when I go out. Thank god for laminate flooring. I would be so blessed to hve 3 hunky handsome & generous loving boys. Wish us all luck for the wkend. Xx

A sofa is looking a bit more promising. I hve given quite a bit of thought to Henry over recent weeks but had tried to tell myself no as I wasnt sure if I was confident enough to manage 3 plus having lost 1 in a severe epileptic fit in february I didnt think I could go through that again. However, I always tend to want what other people dont & Im sure it is the epilepsy & maybe the fact that he had an argument with his foster sister that puts them off. I did visit him last week & had a little chat with him that went well, so, I introduced him to Mel & Archie yesterday & they had an uneventful couple of hours together so that was a good start. I went back today & took him for a little walk & he kept nuzzling into my leg as if to say see I can be good!!! I had a good chat with his foster parents yesterday who are soooo upset that there was a problem between him & 1 of their females. It might hve been something really silly but as the female is very timid anyway I can understand she feels more timid after Henry displaying unpleasant behaviour. I think he is adorable & not having had a great start to retirement urgently needs a lot of love & stability. I know we can all give him that. I just need to be 101% as sure as I can that he will be okay with my other 2 boys. So we are going to hve a day together on saturday & if that goes well we will hopefully do an overnight visit & then decide. I hve to tell myself that Cheets's onset at 10 of seizures were most likely as a result of a brain tumour & Henry has only shown a couple of very mild symptoms so no full blown seizures as such. It may well be that he has had problems due to stress which would not surprise me in the least considering what he has been through this year. So, for all those taking an interest I would say that the onset of a sofa is 85-15 at the moment. I am praying for a positive outcome. At least I know there is fantastic support once he has left Daybreaks & that is a big factor in my decision process. My heart says go get him tomorrow but I realise that 3 isnt quite the same as 2 & as I am on my own I must be certain as I would not want to return him. Seana

Ohh no is this boy still not rehomed? Read the story he seems like a great addition to any home with all the support from Perry Barr RGT. We are still learning about Greyhounds but trust me, they are brilliant. My wife calls Greyhounds addictive. Surely there must be a sofa out there

I just cannot understand why Henry is still here, he has totally stolen our hearts, even Roy is totally smitten, we have had many discussions to try and make 3 work for us but realistically at the current time as much as we would love to its just impossible, please if you are considering adopting don't over look Henry he is just a very special boy ( they all are ) Henry you get our cuddle tonight x

Harry happily accompanied me today to snitterfield, with Pam and Marti He travelled so well and after handing over the other two stayed with me and my other 3 dogs.. one of which is a non grey .. He was fantastic, so loving, playing, happy and also loved my 3 very noisy children ( which we use to child test the greys at the kennels) hubbie and me. He is so adorable. hubbie said if we had room for a 4th, out of all the greys that he has seen come through the doors, Henry would be the one he would keep. He even jumped into my own van with mine to go home and it broke my heart to get him out to take back to kennels.Lol. This not needs his forever home now.

Reading about Henry just makes you want to give him a home and a sofa. The seizures may put people of. From the comments it should not and there is RGT support + Perry Bar support which in my experience is great. Henry I hope you will find your sofa soon.

I sent myself crazy last night continuously checking on the cameras at the kennels to see if Henry was settled. After initially stressing (some herbal calming tablets, a sausage roll and some chicken helped) I didn't need to worry and he slept well - apart from throwing one of his blankets on the floor in the night! See you later fella xxxx

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - I am desperate to find this boy a home x

Please don't be put off by Henry's seizures. My old dog Fuggie used to have1 weekly and you really do learn how to deal with them. Henry is a fantastic dog and if it wasn't for me already having 3 I would happily have him. Please please consider this boy. Xxxx

I have taken Henry to the kennels today as one of my greys (Joe) seems stressed at him being around at home. It was with great heartache that I left him back in a kennel but I have to do what is right by my own 4 legged family also especially as I have a bunch of oldies - Maggie being nearly 15.

I am appealing desperately for a foster (or permanent) home for Henry - he is an adorable boy but I feel he would benefit from being an only dog or with one with a strong personality who will put him in his place!

Unfortunately Henry is on medication as he has had a couple of seizures but now on his meds, he (fingers crossed) has not had any further episodes.

If someone was to offer him a home (or foster), the cost of his medication would be covered. If you would like more information about him, please give me a call - Ruth - 01217827702

Henry has moved foster homes and is back with me. He has walked back in our house like he has never been away. He is such a beautiful boy who would love a home of his own on his own. He does like his own company however he is currently curled up next to me on the sofa! He has had a great time playing in the run today and has just eaten a big bowl of dinner :-)

Unfortunately it appears that H may have developed epilepsy..... he is on medication which if he finds a home, the Trust will support him for the rest of his life.

Henry was brought to my house yesterday by the police due to a very unfortunate incident in his home on Monday. I have ownership of him but he is unable to be rehomed until the police matter has concluded which currently I am unable discuss. He has settled in really well here and apart from a few accidents he is being golden.
