Hi lovely Lily, how wonderful to read that despite a few little hiccups at the start, you've 'found your paws' with your new loving family. Here's wishing you all many happy, fun filled years together. Big hugs, xxxx

Thanks so much for putting your update on Julez1..... and thank you so much for giving her time and patience. It can be so daunting taking on a newbie - I know - I have been through it many times with ups and downs but they reward you in all they give back. Much love to you all x

Well done Lily....and to you all for giving her such a lovely home. Xxx

I thought it was about time that I updated you on Lily's progress. After a some what shaky start she has finally started to settle.
Initially she was like a bull in a china shop....she went everywhere at 100 miles an hour upsetting everything and everyone who got in her way. She terrorised my other dogs and frightened my chickens into not laying for 4 days. I honestly thought "What have we done"
However after chatting to Ruth ,Kate and Pam we came to the conclusion that she didn't know where she fitted in to our pack and just needed time to establish herself.
Three weeks later she is a totally different dog. Happy, calm, eating us out of house and home ,loves her cuddles, gets on fine with the others and even ignores the chickens.
It just goes to show what time and patience can achieve, we honestly came close to her being our first failure but it just goes to show that even though we have had 5 other hounds each one is totally different and comes with their own challenges.
She even spent Sunday at a big dog show and got a 4th in the first class she has ever been in ...following in her sister Hollie's footsteps.
Well Done Lily. xxxx

Miss Petal is back on her feet and I have brought her up to the kennels today. She is such a lovely girl x

Hope Petal is feeling better tonight...looking forward to meeting her. :) Xxx

Hope you feel better soon Petal and are back to your energetic self. Hope you and Coilean don't get up to to much mischief! Xx

Sending you our big electronic cuddle Petal. Hope you're feeling much more energetic very soon. Big licks, xxxx

Petal is the most adorable girl - I collected her from the vets in Tamworth yesterday following her spey. Unfortunately she was bleeding when I picked her up so a large tummy bandage was put on and several hours later I look it off and she is doing well.

She had a very settled night - slept downstairs and we did not hear a thing from her. She has been sick a couple of times but she has kept her tablets down and hopefully will be eating again in no time.

I am waiting for the greyhound described to show as she is definitely not full of energy yet! I think Coilean will love her when she is back on her feet. She gets to stop a little while longer at our house :-)
