Hi Bennysmom, glad to hear the trip to vet went ok...hope your back feels better soon! Xxx

Lovely to hear from you, Bennysmom and things are good.
Love to you & Benny from The New Icemaid Clan xxxxx

Just an update to let you know that it's 1 week since Benny came to join us and he is making great progress. The visit to the vets was a piece of cake. The hardest bit was getting him into the car! After my clumsy attempt to copy the recommend lifts he thought "blow this"and jumped in and out on his own ! The lift that I chose would be ok for a man but my arms are just too short. I avoided the the lift with my arms under him as I was conscious of his recent castration. He doesn't seem to be any the worse from my efforts but my back is killing me !!

Thanks for the kind comments. Benny is improving every day. He's such a good boy and his eyes are changing now . They have a little bit of sparkle and he actually looks at me now. Still loving his food and walks. Vets tomorrow !

I'm sure Benny will be fine. He just needs some time to settle into his new world. When we first had Lucy, she could be a bit nervy and flashed the sad, unsure eyes at people, while hiding behind us. A few years later and she now goes up to people happily, attempting to mug them for treats on occasion and is so uncertain of herself that she shouted at Andy when he dared sit on the sofa with her earlier (and is why she is now sulking on the floor!). Benny will find his paws with his new family to guide him and I'm sure all will be well. TLC will soon turn the light in his eyes on and he is a gorgeous little lad. I really enjoyed walking him a couple of weeks ago. Onwards and upwards one day at a time; you'll get there. He probably will try to melt into the wall at the vets, Lucy still does 5 years on... All the best!

So pleased to hear Benny is doing ok...hope he is not too nervous when he goes to see the vet. Xxx

Definite progress. Benny is now coming to me for some fuss. His eyes are less sad. We are off to the vets on Tuesday to have his stitches checked. He is such a gentle, lovely lad.

Well done Benny be happy darling boy xxx

Do hope all continues to go well with Benny...such a gentle lad. Xxx

Benny has had a very comfortable night. He's currently a real sleepy head. Up and out for wee wee's and poo ( such a good boy ). Enjoyed a morning cup of tea and back to bed ! I wonder how long it will be until a little light comes into those beautiful eyes ? Gentle integration with the cats.

Lovely Benny you have a wonderful new home with the most kind, careing and loveing mum XXXX

Oh Benny. We are sending you lots of love in your new home. Such a shy boy but sure you have a little mischievous streak somewhere inside! Looking forward to hearing how you are getting on. Xx

Be happy in yr new home Benny Xxx

Wishing Benny and his lovely new Mum lots of happy times together...sorry about the wind!!! Xxx

Benny at home now in sausage land. Had a good look around the garden, eaten his tea and now exhausted and fast asleep. Hoping that he will soon have some sparkle in those sad eyes.

Think Benny may be the Boy for me ?

Come on Benny, Surely there is someone out there with a cat that would happily take you on. x

Benny spent the day in the kitchen with everyone today including Sara's two non Greyhounds Charlie and Louis. He really is a fantastic lad and wanted to play all day with Louis who got rather fed up with all the attention! :) Xxx

Yay another Cat friendly. xx

Sending my cuddle to Benny his beautiful , gentle soul and cat friendly too what more could you ask for xxx

I met Benny yesterday and took him out for a walk. He is quite shy but a gentle boy who settled down and forgot his nerves to pay attention to his surroundings as we walked. I stayed and fussed him for a while afterwards to help to get him used to people. He was perfectly gentle though, he just needs a bit of reassurance of life in the bigger world. A lovely boy x J

Sending Benny my cuddle tonight. He is a very shy boy but loves lots of gentle cuddles. Xxx

What a kind looking boy, should find his new home very quickly. Fingers crossed for this boy

Very handsome and his black my favorite! xxx

What a very handsome lad! Xxx

Welcome to Daybreaks beautiful. Yet another gorgeous looking black greyhound. Big hugs Benny, xxxx
