In spite of her sore tail Mary thoroughly enjoyed her walk this morning - especially when she spotted a squirrel! So weird at the kennels today with only the four girls back,but the kennels are looking great and the office has had a brilliant refurb. xx

Aggghhhhh!!!!! First calamity of the year! I took Mary into the sand run which she thoroughly enjoyed and as we were going back through the gate, the wind slammed the door shut..... and her tail was in the way :-( Luckily not broken but bleeding and will be sore - poor babe.

Mary is an absolute bundle of fun. She was a delight to have around the house. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and it was sad to take Mary back to the kennels today.
We can only really say good things about her. She was such a happy, playful little thing. She would play around with her toys for about 10 minutes and would then settle down for a little nap. She did love flying around the garden, churning it up, trying to get our own grey, Molly, to join her. Molly was having none of it though (she's a very lazy grey).
Even though it was her first time in a house environment, she was very quick to learn. She would go into the living room to lie down whilst we were eating in the dining room, she didn't really pester us whilst in the kitchen either.
The difference in just the 11 days that we had her was great. She started off really excited and inquisitive on the first day and perhaps a little anxious of a few things. A few days in and she found her feet and voice!
Obviously, she is still a pup and not used to the "outside world". This showed on her walks when she saw other breeds of dog, she would get very excited, crying and barking and jumping about on her lead. Once out of sight she settled back down. Besides this she walked very well on her lead. This is the main area she would need training in.
Every time we went out in the car she travelled really well.
We do hope that Mary finds her forever home very soon as she will make an excellent addition to the right family.
If any potential adoptive families have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Wow Mary seems you have been a good girl for the hols. You are still only a baby really, but learning fast. However, I think if you sleep with someone that counts as a commitment, but you need to get that in writing LOL

Can't believe we've had Mary for a week now! She's settled into family life really well. She responds to her name, understands what you are telling her (doesn't always do it the first time, but she knows!!) and she is very bright.
She loves playing with toys with the kids, especially the squeaky ones. Her present opening on Christmas day was great, she knew exactly what to do.
We left her for a couple of hours on Boxing Day and she didn't chew anything. She did unfortunately manage to knock her water bowl out of its stand and she had the kitchen towel off its hook (I don't think she was trying to wipe the mess up :) ).
She sleeps through the night albeit on the bed with Molly, me and my husband. Molly is a bed dog, so there was no keeping Mary downstairs.
She is very good on her lead but gets very excited at the sight of other dogs. I think she only wants to play with them, but they have always been a little distance away.
She is a really good family dog. x

Ooh Mary! What a superstar! :))) Xxx

Thats great news about Mary.. We wish her and foster family all the best... Love Mary/John. x

Mary is great!! I know Ruth was worried about her chewing but she hasn't chewed anything she shouldn't have (yet!), we haven't felt any need to muzzle her inside. She was very "busy" the first day but obviously everything was new to her. She has settled down really quickly. She walks very well on her lead. She gets on fine with our own greyhound, Molly. She loves her fuss and lies on the sofa with her head on the kids laps. She is a lovely girl. xxx

Be a good girl Mary! :)) Xxx

It was me who mentioned the ulterior motive. I have had 3 returnees from Daybreaks so far. I fostered Max 2 years ago between Christmas and the new year after he was returned 2 days after Christmas, initially it was for only for a week, 2 years on he is still with us.He is such a gorgeous boy, I hope that as I said previously that there will be many hounds that will not be returned as their fosterers have fallen in love with them. Good luck houndies and Hoomans (please fail, please, please, as many as possible, it is totally worth it). Xxxx

Good luck Mary. Someone has suggested maybe there is an alternate motive for fostering over Xmas. We fostered a beautiful Grey 8 years ago who was struggling to find a forever home because of a health problem, We already had 3 hounds but after we had him for 6 weeks and no one came forward for him we knew he was joining "the gang" He went over Rainbow Bridge recently and we are devastated. He gave us such love and if it hadn't been for fostering we would have missed out on the joy he bought into our life.
So I hope maybe this Christmas will bring some magic into other Greys lives. God Bless Ollie RIP

We met the beautiful Mary today, she was so gentle and loving while we fussed her through her kennel bars. She really is a little stunner too.
Saturday 21 Oct 14:52
Mary is a very loveable little hound - very friendly and full of beans. Even Mr Grumpy Pants Casey let her jump all over him without complaint. Would fit perfectly in with a family.
Thursday 19 Oct 18:28
