Brae's Mom and Dad,came to the kennels this afternoon to oversee her tag being added to our Memory Tree. Now reunited with her sister Rosie, next to each other on a branch of the tree and running happily side by side at Rainbow Bridge. Xxx
Brae had a long and very happy life with Tash, John and Rosie. It was lovely to hear all the happy memories they have of their two beautiful girls. Rosie and Brae were inseparable and had many adventures together. Xxx
At Daybreaks, what we want is for every Greyhound to have a wonderful home, just like Rosie and Brae had with Tash and John.
Sending them both lots of love Xxx

Oh yes we have Peggy who has some collie in her too!! She herds me to the kitchen at mealtimes too! Lola never did this and nor does Lena either. They do make us laugh don’t they? All such different personalities in the same shape body! X

Yes TJ I know what you mean, our Grey Jack does exactly the same thing, every time you move your arm/leg or any body part really around walk times he's up like a rocket and will not give you any peace until he has got his way. Our other Grey Dexter doesn't really like going out after around 5pm ish he will let you get his coat/lead on and you think oh he wants to go today, you open the door and he won't budge, we fall for it every time, he must have a right good chuckle to himself about it lol xxx

Does anyone else have a gorgeous grey who thinks they're a sheepdog? Whenever we mention the 'W' (walk) word, Brae sees us as sheep that need rounding up... even if we spell out the 'W' word, she knows what's coming and moves swiftly from room to room herding us all into the hallway ready for collars and leads to be put on. She's the complete opposite to Rosie who just lies watching the scene from her bed, until the key goes in the door then springs into action! Don't ya just love 'em!

Happy birthday Brae - sounds like you and Rosy Po have come up trumps on the dinner front today. Love to you, Rosie, Mum and Dad from all of us here xxx

Happy Birthday lovely Brae! I'm sure you have been very spoilt today. Hope you and Rosie enjoyed your steak dinner! Lots of love Xxx

Oh my goodness, where on earth does time go? Our beautiful, bouncy, brave, black beauty Brae is 9 today. To celebrate on this ever so chilly day, along with big fursis Rosie, she'll be enjoying stewing steak for dinner. Each time I go into the kitchen the delicious aroma from the slow cooker excites me, only to realise that John and I will be tucking into beans on toast for our tea! Happy snowy birthday gorgeous, love and hugs from Mom, Dad & Rosie xxx

A very Happy Gotcha Day to beautiful Brae! Sending a big cuddle for her and Rosie to share. Lots of love to you all. Xxx

Happy Gotcha Day Brae xxxxx

Happy 3rd 'Gotcha Day' to our beautiful, bouncy bundle of gorgeousness Brae. Never a dull moment with her and big 'sisfur' Rosie around. A few more grey hairs for John and I but hey, that's part of parenting right?!!! xxx

Poor Brae my Jed had the same amount of teeth out in one go but eating his food now you would never know they manage amazingly without them. Be aware though they can use this as an excuse to have lots of treats they would not normally have!!!

Lots of love and hugs to your little Brae. It's awful when you have to leave them with the vet isn't it? Do hope she will soon be back to her happy self with just a few less teeth! :) Kate, Skip & Fletch. Xxx

Today has felt like one of the longest in our home as we took Brae to the vets at 8.30am for her dental op. Following a 15 minute stand off between us & our little black beauty who was refusing to leave the car!... once inside she happily walked through with the nurse to have her pre op blood tests. Busying ourselves until 1.30pm when we'd been asked to phone for a progress report, during which we were advised that 19 teeth had been removed. We had to wait another 4 hours before being able to bring the 'star patient' home for much needed TLC from us and Rosie, who'd been confused and unusually subdued during the day. Our brave furbaby has only been tempted by water & yoghurt and is now snoozing contentedly as the 3 of us watch over her. Relief that Brae is back where she belongs is an understatement.

Aw bless, our late grey Reggie suffered from corns, luckily our vet used to work at the track and he just pops them out, I know not all vets do this, but it can be done, but also we used to use little booties for him when not walking on grass, they are so painful for them, it's horrible. Hope Brae is OK xxxx

Hi Tash, so sorry to hear Brae has a corn. My Brother's Greyhound has a corn too and he does the same as Liz and puts a boot on Mannie when he goes for a walk. Ruth is an expert on corns :)) sure she would be happy to have a chat with you. Kate Xxx

My dog has had a series of corns since Christmas. A bootie definitely helped her whilst out walking. On Ruth's recommendation, I have put a tiny piece of gaffa tape on the pad effected most recently (she's had 2 corns removed from same pad in one month) and that does seem to be helping to. I think the idea behind it, is that blocking the oxygen supply kills the corn. Good luck with it. These corns are really rotten for our hounds.

Any advice appreciated... Brae started limping on her (hock injured) leg last night so initially we thought she'd strained the joint however, having a close look at her pads, it appears that she may have a corn. Not dealt with one on a paw before and vet (via phone) has suggested that we use a fine emery board to file the area prior to our appointment on Monday. Is there anything else we should be doing to help Brae's discomfort? Many thanks, Tash

I would love to see Rosie and Brae testing out the mattresses! :) Xxx

I would take the girls with you, they will be on the mattress for many more hours than you. We are quite lucky in Archive hates stairs so stays down and Jato has never even looked like trying them so is only Breeze who comes up - but only when it thunders !! I must be one of the few hound parents who hasnt got a bed full of skinny legs. xxx

Take them with you. Should cause a few gigguls! Tell them they are specialist dogs testing the for comfort for special hooman's!

Please tell me there are other 'houndy-hoomans' out there that can relate to this... John & I are looking to buy a new mattress (for OUR bed). Easy peasy I hear you say... but no, the issue we have is that when testing these mattresses, we're making the mistake of lying in the middle and deciding on the comfort level. Whereas, what we should really be doing is to lie on our sides, clinging to the edges (covered by just half a quilt) and asking the salesperson about its' 'trampoline-ability'. Or do we just take our two girls with us to test said mattress with lots of bouncing?!

A huge hug to Brae and Tash tonight. Good girl Brae for listening to your Mom. Xx Someone was certainly looking after you today. Lots of love to you all. Kate, Twiggy and Skip. Xxx

Just glad you got your baby back safe and well, this happened to us with our first Grey Bridget, now all our Greys wear Martingale collars, very slim chance of them slipping these xxxxx

Oh Tash, so glad you are both safe x

Gosh Tash, what a scary incident. Glad you are both safe & well. Just goes to show you never know what's going to happen. xxx

Actually it wasn't our only heart stopping moment either..Our little girl Ele slipped her collar after being startled and ran off down Cheddar Gorge ! All our greys have worn a collar and harness since ! Lol x

So glad it all ended safely for you both. X

OMG one very lucky girl ! It happened to me when we first had Paddy..He ran out the front door as i opened it to postman and, looking pleased with himself, ran up and down the road Screaming at traffic just like you..a lorry stopped to help and being a friendly hound he went over for fuss and came back to me having managed to grab some treats Its a moment you will never forget in a hurry I really feel for you..So pleased she's safe x x :) Hugs to you all x x

Oh my goodness what a horrible experience for both of you. I can only imagine how terrified both of you must have been but so pleased and hugely relieved that you are both ok. Hugs all round xxx

"That'll never happen to me"... or so I thought, but it most certainly did this morning and I feel as though I've swallowed my heart. I was walking Brae along Hollywood Lane at 9.15am (Rosie's on bed rest having ripped off her dew claw!), when there was an awful sound of tyres squealing behind us. I turned to see a head on collision due to the imbecile driving a Discovery speeding around a bend on a greasy road. The impact sound was so loud it startled Brae who slipped her lead and ran off at speed. I ran after her and felt so helpless as the poor mite looked confused and scared wanting to run across the road. Arms waving manically to warn oncoming vehicles "that's my dog... Brae, Brae..." and somehow (I still don't know how but someone was looking down on us), I slowed my pace and walked the last few meters to her, managing to grab her collar, give her a big hug and reattach her lead. We were both shaken by the event and I count this as a lesson learned. Had I have been walking both girls, I don't think I'd have been able to run after Brae and rescue her safely. Tash

Wishing our beautiful, bouncy, bundle of joyfulness Brae a wonderful 8th birthday. Loves ya loads gorgeous, Mom, Dad & big sis Rosie xxx

A lovely update Brae; your family are very lucky to have been adopted by you and Rosie! Lots of love to you all. Xxx

Hello Brae. Hasn't time flown. Well done to you and Rosie for taking in and adopting these poor humans. Welcome to the FFP club! Sounds like you've got them well trained xxx

It was 2 years ago today that I spotted them as they walked through the Daybreaks gate & I thought "they look like they need fostering". So, after a while of cuddling & tickling ears/belly (mine not theirs), I signed my paw on the foster form & brought them to a place to be called 'home'. For 2 legged creatures they were well behaved, very polite, accommodating and provided treats, meals, cuddles, sofa space etc at the meer sight of my chocolate brown eyes, so by day 2 I reckoned they were 'keepers'. I dragged the fostering malarky out for a whole month (just to make sure they didn't have any bad habits or needed retraining), but as the days went on and my paws got further and further 'under the table' & imprinted on their very soft hearts, it was a done deal that I'd accept them into my life. I'm the cause of several gasps, tears, sleepless nights, the purchase of new quilts, daily hoovering & Mom even has a seat reserved at the vet, but on the plus side, I make them smile & laugh every day, help with digging the garden, distributing soil whether it's dry or muddy, keep them fit by walking & WALKING twice daily, greet visitors warmly with licks & kisses and make sure there's never any out of date yoghurt in the fridge! I have the bestest big sis in Rosie and just want to Thank everyone at Daybreaks for introducing me to my smitten family. Big hugs, Brae xxxx

Daisydog here " when I do odd things mum has videod them on her phone and shown the vet cos I never do them when I'm there"!

Doesn't sound like anxiety to me, especially with the space staring - dd used to do the statue thing a lot, less so now, but She was always 'in the moment' if you know what I mean and very aware if I did ttouch.

The phone video was hugely helpful - you just have to be quick!
Salty hugs from the seaside xx

Some advice needed please..... Brae walks so well on the lead, but over the last 2/3 months, she's started to 'zone out', whereby she'll stand stock still and stare either into space or at an object. When she's in this 'zoned out' state, there's no moving her even with the tempt of treats. Last week she did it whilst crossing a busy road; fortunately John was walking Rosie and there were very patient drivers, but I had no alternative other than to lift Brae and carry her to the pavement. Tonight we've had another 'episode' when she's seen a cat under a car and wouldn't move, so again, I've picked her up and carried her a few paces further down. Has anyone come across this behaviour before? How did you deal with it? Are there any recommendations for a dog behaviourist? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Tash ps... not sure if it's relevant but during these 'zoned out' states, Brae's pupils become very small.

Belated happy Birthday sweetheart. Bet you had a lovely day. Hope all is well with you Tash. X

Happy Birthday from the seaside Brae. Expect you have been spoilt rotten - which is just as it should be. Big hugs and wags Daisydog xx

Happy birthday brae we hope you have had a lovely birthday big hugs tinker and nana xx

Happy Birthday lovely Brae! I am sure she has been very spoilt today :) Xxx

Wishing our beautiful little girl the happiest 7th birthday today. We all love you more every day 'cheeky chops' Brae. Special treats including ice-cream await!! Biggest hugs gorgeous, Mom, Dad & Rosie Po xxx

What a lovely update on Brae...Happy Gotcha Day to your pretty little girl! Can't believe it's been a year since you took her home. Lots of love to you all. Xxx

Happy gotcha day Brae. The time goes so fast,is it really a year already. Paddy and Ele send their bestest nose snuffles to you xx

Wow, where have the last 12 months gone? We welcomed Brae into our home (only on foster you understand!) a year ago today and she knew by day 2 that she was never going back. Our bouncy, cheeky, toy chomping, soil digging, beautiful black girl has blossomed so much since that day last January (even more so over the past 4 months - almost as if something clicked and she realised that this IS her home, her family, her safe warm place). She's gained in confidence, isn't backwards at coming forwards when asking for treats, adores Rosie, hogs the sofa if she gets onto it first and is such a pleasure to have living with us. Her hock injury doesn't slow her down - if anything, it makes her more determined to walk, run and with encouragement from big sis, race around like a lunatic! We love her more (if that's possible) each day. Tash & John

Ha ha You're lucky We have one who gives me a filthy look when the toothbrush comes out...the other grey clamps her mouth firmly closed and you need a vice to open it then proceeds to 'kill' the brush by chewing it ! Lol However both like the Logic Gel thankfully..if I've got any fingers left to put it on with ! Bless ! X

Is it just in this household that when attempting to clean a certain little lady's teeth, most of the toothpaste is licked out of the tube as I squeeze it onto her brush?! Not just any old canine nasher paste either... it's the expensive stuff!!

Hi Tash, six months already!...time goes by so quickly. Lots of love to Rosie and Brae. Xxx

6 months ago today, we fostered beautiful Brae... by day 2 she knew she was in her forever home! We've had many, many ups and a few downs with our gorgeous addition and have learnt a lot from each other, but I thank John every day for nagging me to find Rosie a 'sister'/playmate and most importantly another snuggle monster. It feels like our two black beauties have lived with us a lot longer than their adoption papers state and we both feel privileged to have been chosen by them to share our home, oh yes.... and sofa!!

Maybe your darling girl is trying to do a spot of indoor landscape gardening? Something she can admire from the comfort of her bed possibly? Saves all the bother of going outside too! Clever girl! xx

What a little tinker! :)) Xxx

Two weeks ago I'd spent what felt like hours in the garden tidying up and digging out endless weeds (why do they always grow faster than plants?!)... both Rosie & Brae kept me company, sussing out with their noses and paws where I'd been digging. I was rather pleased with my efforts and suitably shattered when John got home and promptly told me there was a large pile of soil on the lounge rug. Huh?! It was as if it had been tipped there but having checked everywhere for a carrying vessel, I was none the wiser as to how it got from the garden into the lounge. That is until today... yes, more weeds needed to be taken out and the remaining freshly dug over soil is clearly far too much temptation for one little lady! As I was coming out the garage I saw Brae approaching the kitchen door with a cricket ball sized lump of soil in her mouth which she'd have quite happily deposited in the house had she not been caught in the act!

Lovely photo - Tash your face says it all - surprised it took John so long to persuade you :) but from this photo and your posts, definitely a match made in greyt heaven. Lucky Brae xx

It was wonderful to see Tash and John leave Daybreaks today with their two gorgeous girls Rosie and Brae. It was obvious they all adore each other...Sending my cuddle to you all tonight. Xxx

Great news! We are really happy for you all. X

Wonderful! have a great new life with your new family xxx

Lovely rehoming picture.

Well done Brae. Be very happy in your new home with your sister Rosie. Big hugs to you all. Xx

Much happiness to you both and Rosie and Brae. Lovely rehoming picture. X

Good to see all the family today Tash - wishing you many years of happiness ahead, and hoping you can find a toy that Brae can't destroy in 30 seconds flat!! I agree with you whole heartedly - they are a special breed indeed. xx

Just over a year ago we were volunteering on Sunday mornings at Daybreaks where we met Rosie, our first gorgeous grey. Today, 7 weeks after fostering our 2nd beauty, we're proud to say that we're fully 'paid up' members of the infamous FFP club as we officially adopted beautiful Brae. Between them, our two fantastic, cheeky, adorable, loving girls have introduced us to new friends, provided us so many giggles with their antics, given countless snuggles and keep us fit with our twice daily walks (which more often than not resemble a game of pavement twister!) I needed a lot of persuading by John to get 'no.2', but why oh why did I wait so long? Thank you Daybreaks for introducing us to this wonderful breed, our two girls and for your ongoing support and words of advice when needed. Big hugs from John and I to everyone connected to this fabulous organisation and big licks from Rosie & Brae to all their buddies currently waiting for their forever families to arrive. Tash xxxx

Brae its all happened for you, a birthday and a lovely sofa. The photo shows your lovely family. Love to you all from The New Icemaid Clan xx

Happy birthday Brae xxx

Happy birthday Brae - bet you get spoiled rotten xx

Sending birthday wishes to you Brae, have a lovely day sweetheart. Xx

Happy Birthday to your beautiful Brae! Sure she will have a great day. Xxx

Happy Birthday Brae,bestest nose snuffles from Paddy and Ele xx

Just want to wish our beautiful "no.2" black beauty a wonderful Happy 6th Birthday. Love ya to bits cheeky monkey, Mom, Dad & Rosie Po xxx

We'd be lying to say that the past month has been easy, what with accidents on the carpet/our bed/their bed, visits to the vet for medication/tests, chewing through coats, demolishing toys, barking at 'silly o'clock' in the morning... but this little girl has well and truly gotten under our skin and there was never any doubt that she'd be staying with us. A puppy like character who wants to be into everything, there's never a dull moment. Rosie accepted Brae from the word go, showing support, patience and kindness (to us as well as her new sister) throughout and we are very proud to confirm that we will indeed be adopting Brae within the next few days.

Fabulous news! Welcome to the club! Brae you are a very lucky girl xxx

Well done Brae,sounds like you have fitted in well with Rosie.The FFP club is gaining new members all the time.We need to have an official badge or tee shirt to wear with pride xx

Well done Tash, John & Rosie Po....Welcome to the club !!! X.

Ah Tash, I'm delighted that the lovely Brae will be joining your family. The FFP Club's ranks just keep on growing! Very best wishes to you all, Angie. xx

Wonderful news! The Failed Foster Parents Club has claimed yet more new members....well done to Tash, John and Rosie Po! What a lucky girl Brae is! Xxx

Hi Tash & John, Skip occasionally wakes us up in the night barking, usually because he can hear foxes in the garden. I thank him for letting me know they are there and ask him to go back to bed...this is something I learnt when I attended a weekend training course with Tony Knight when he visited the kennels last year. It really does work for us; once Skip has told us about the potential danger outside and is happy we have acknowledged his warning he gets back into bed and I tuck him in with his favourite toy! Hope Brae will soon settle again. Kate Xxx

Is it she can hear a fox, cat etc on the other side. Xxx

Hi Ruth, thanks for the suggestion but we were 'warned' not to put a housecoat on Brae when she slept as she chews through them... and having her here just over 2 weeks now, I can confirm that she's done that to one she had only just had fastened up! She's not cold as fleece blankets are over her at bedtime which I get up to recover several times every night (I know, I've made a rod for my own back haven't I). Last night we had 3 barking sessions during the early hours and each time, Brae (quickly followed by Rosie) ran to the front door and stood there staring at it. Despite being asked, she didn't need to go out to toilet and as soon as we said "Stop", she returned to her bed and promptly went back to sleep (leaving us 3 wondering what had just happened). At 5.45am this morning she woke us with barking and again ran to the front door, at which point John said he thinks she's having bad dreams. In the last week alone, we've had 3 (large) men come in through the front door to give us quotes for work and it's got us thinking that it's playing on her mind whilst asleep. We'll see how she goes over the next few days, but as I type this, both Brae and Rosie are curled up together on our bed fast asleep... oh the luxury of nabbing 40 winks during the day!

Hi TJ - do you put a coat on her at night? The most common problem I get alerted to this time of year is toileting at night. Even if you leave your heating on or you wrap a blanket round your grey putting a coat on your grey will hopefully do the trick and really help.... let us know how you get on. Sometimes trying a crate helps settle them too - if you want to borrow one, just let us know. Alternatively some herbal calming tablets or a DAP diffuser can help x

John and I took this cheeky little monkey back to the vet today for a blood test to see if she's suitable for Metcam long term... answer = Yes, which is great news as the movement in her injured hock appears to be far more comfortable for her since taking the medication. Tomorrow morning we have to supply them with Brae's wee sample so they can make sure her kidneys are working properly. Despite a slow start on the munching front, Brae now eats like a horse (must be my culinary skills!), but her weight today shows that she's lost a kilo in the last 2 weeks. It's more than likely down to the walking we're doing with her and the jogging round the garden/home she's enjoying with her big sis. We'll keep an eye on it though as she's a little skinny ribs already and we don't want her to lose any more. Pasta, mashed potato, veg, sardines, sausages, chicken, minced beef and yoghurt have all proven a big hit which saves me the job of washing her bowl! She's also mastered how to nibble a dentastix and doesn't complain during her daily teeth clean. Following a two day set back last week when weeing indoors raised it's ugly head again, I'm pleased to report that we're nearing the end of 4 days without any incidents inside. Our wooden doorstop was found in shreds in her bed and there's not much left of Rosie's toys either, but she seems happy to share everything with her little mate. For the past 5 nights, very soon after we've all gone to bed and lights have been turned off (dim hall light still on), Brae has decided then is the best time to start barking - she doesn't do this at any other time. To say we've been woken with a start is understating it however, dutifully, we've wrapped up warm and all 4 of us have gone into the garden, where Brae has then decided to let us know if she needs to toilet or is just hearing noises again. Last night we were up 3 times and it's become the norm for us to have a cuppa sometime between 2.30-3.00am! As she's not cold and has toileted before bedtime, we'd welcome any suggestions as to why she may be doing this and ideas on how to stop it will be much appreciated. The vet has suggested that we ignore it but I'd hate for her to be desperate and we wouldn't let her out. She walks great on the lead, quite often I have to check to make sure she's still attached; doesn't show any interest in cats or other dogs, wants to befriend every human walking past and jumps at what we consider to be slight sounds i.e. leaves rustling as we walk by. This is getting better though as she gets used to sounds whilst out & about. As with our little Rosie, we love Brae to bits and the two of them appear to adore each other which has made our job of 'Mom & Dad' so much easier. Tash & John

Tash, lovely to hear how well Brae is doing but also how Rosie is enjoying having her around. Think there is a badge out there with your name on it :) x

Tash, John & Rosie....you can't possibly part with this super little girl!? Xxx

Great news on Brae are you about to become members of a certain club that appears to have a growing membership!!

Well, what can I say? Brae is a wonderful addition to our family. She'll be six in a few weeks time but acts like a 3 year old; full of bounce, life, energy & cheekiness. She's loving exploring the garden, plays with (okay, chomps) the toys, has nibbled through an inch of Rosie's spare coat (before I could get to it in time!), sleeps all night next to Rosie, has a hearty appetite, can't get the hang of dentastix, walks without complaining doing her best to keep up with Rosie, even though her limp is obvious, loves snuggles from her 'sister', John and I, has taken over what was Rosie's sofa, has checked out the back of the TV to see what's going on in there, got used to the noise of the hoover, washing machine, phone and John's singing! She's got lots of new admirers on our estate, an adoring 'Nan' and 'Aunt', snores like a trooper and can hear a pin drop a mile away! She also knows exactly what's in the fridge and which shelf is for her & Rosie along with where we keep their treats and after several days of little wees on the carpet, we're at 4 days without any accidents indoors as she now takes herself outside as & when the need arises. She has her teeth brushed daily but has wised up to this and tries to keep her mouth closed just like Rosie! We visited the vet last Tuesday for her opinion on what if any treatment may be needed in the future on her hock - potentially it could cost thousands however, that may be years down the line and the vet isn't convinced that it would make her movement any easier/more comfortable. Her initial Metacam ran out yesterday so we collected another dose from the vet today and next Monday we're taking her back to have a 'progress check up' along with a blood test to see if she's okay to stay on this medication long term. As you tell, we're not at all smitten by this 2nd black 4 legged beauty to live under our roof. Just want to mention also how wonderful Rosie has been with our guest as she's taken on the role of 'big sis' so naturally which has made the fostering of Brae so much easier for us all. Tash & John xx

How is Brae getting on Tash and John. Xxx

Sounds as though Rosie and Brae are becoming inseparable! :)) Xxx

Ha ha reading that sounds just like our lovely Paddy,they are just wonderful dogs.Never a dull moment,Paddy tried to make off with the bread earlier today when Pam put the shopping bag down for a moment!! Brae sounds like she is a typical cheeky little monkey...thats why we love them.Priceless!! xx

That's a lovely update - sounds like you are all having a great time together!

As John's off to the weekly pub quiz, Rosie, Brae & me are having a 'girls night in'. Yippee, I get a whole sofa to myself instead of having to share it with hubby. Before we stepped into the fantastic world of greyhounds we had a sofa each, but that soon changed when Rosie adopted us and now that beautiful Brae has taken up residency on Rosie's sofa, I don't think there's any chance any time soon that the humans in this abode will be claiming it back! Wouldn't change it for the world though. We're currently fostering Brae and she has made such an impact on all 3 of us (& her new Nan) in the 6 days she's been here. Despite this little girl's hock injury and subsequent limp, it doesn't stop her wanting to play with her big sister, jog up & down the garden & drive, jump onto the bed & settee, demonstrate a 'paws on' approach to what's occurring on the kitchen work surface at meal times, knocking John over (twice!) in the lounge as she leapt up to give him a nudge in the right direction... (I wasn't much use at helping him up as it was far too funny). She's nibbled at Rosie's cuddly toys, demolished one of my slippers, chewed through the strap of my handbag and made us giggle every hour of every day. She's a cheeky little monkey and seizes any opportunity to bagsy the comfiest bed at snooze time. Like 2 peas in a pod, watching this gorgeous pair wander and explore every inch of the garden at all hours of the day & night is priceless. Being 'Mom' to a greyhound really is the best! Tash xx

Oooh Rash will you be keeping darling Brae ?. Xxxx

Lovely to hear Rosie is liking her new friend! :) Xxx

So pleased to hear beautiful Brae is settling in well with you all. I walked her on Thursday morning and she was an absolute delight. X

Well done Brae - sounds like you have made a new friend already who will show you what life at home is all about, but I think you're working it out for yourself already! Continue being a good girl for Tash & John - big cuddles to you and your pal Rosie. xxxx

Can't believe it's only been 24 hours since we brought Brae back to our home for some much needed TLC. Her and Rosie have bonded so well and our beautiful little guest has settled in quickly. As I type this, they're both fast asleep after devouring a tasty lunch of dried food, pasta & mince... we didn't need to wash either of their bowls! Brae's hock injury slows her down slightly whilst walking however, she does her best to keep pace with Rosie, who in turn has slowed her normal speed to walk alongside her new buddy. Our 1st night as a foursome was 'interesting', with Brae selecting Rosie's bed, John settling on the sofa in the lounge with Rosie, and me in a comfy bed; this didn't last long though, as the girls wanted to be together so we all ended up in the bedroom and reckon that Brae slept the best of all. We had a couple of little accidents first thing but that was due to me faffing about and not opening the back door quick enough, but apart from that she's taking herself outside to toilet. Despite freezing conditions, I didn't mind one bit when stood on the patio at 6am this morning, sipping a hot cuppa and watching these two beauties play 'follow the leader' as they sniffed every inch of the garden! It really is such a pleasure to have Brae staying with us. Tash, John & Rosie xxx

Hi Brae, thank you so much for the priceless cuddles we had today and for walking so calmly on the lead with us all along the A45. You are the most beautiful girl and John, Rosie & I can't wait to welcome you into our home tomorrow (Friday). We'll pick you up just after lunchtime gorgeous. T xxx

Brae is a very sweet girl. She suffered a broken hock before coming into the kennels...so would only need gentle walks and of course a nice comfy bed to call her own. In return she would give you all her love and more. Xxx

Brae is possibly cat friendly with training xxx

I love her mohawk neck super cute xxx

This gorgeous girly has a little Mohawk on the back of her neck! xxx

I must have a soft spot for black Greys with lovely grey faces because this beautiful girl is now on my " gorgeous" list, along with Rocky, Tommo and many others too numerous to mention who have found their forever homes over the past months. Big cuddles for you sweetheart, you are a lovely, friendly girl who just needs a little bit of tlc for your baldy bits! xxx

I love Brae she is adorable xxx

Sending my cuddle to Brae tonight, she is a very sweet girl. Xxx

Hello Brae, you look a stunning girl.xx

Hi Brae, you're a gorgeous looking girl and we reckon you won't be at Daybreaks too long. T,J R xxx
