That's lovely news! I'm sure Daisy would be happy to know you have given another Greyhound a wonderful new life. Lots of love Kate, Lyra and Cracker Xxx

Just a quick update from the Diggins clan in the New Forest. The lovely Devon - dark brindle female nearly 6 - came home with Tim & Sue last week. Rescued from Greyhound Lifeline based in Southampton (so not far from us) and off for weekly meet tomorrow. Lots of love to all Greys and Humans. Tim, Sue, Anna (Spanner and Devon. xxxxx

So sorry to hear this. We still remember her staying with us for a few days between her operation and going home with you.

Thinking of you all. Xxx

Dear Sue,Tim and Anna, I am so very sad to hear you have had to let Daisy go to Rainbow Bridge today. She was a beautiful girl and I know how much you all loved her. You are so right...you never get used to losing them. Xxx Thinking of you all and sending lots of love and hugs. Kate, Lyra and Cracker. Xxx

Sadly after illness Daisy has joined Stanley, Gemma & Brandy over the rainbow bridge this morning. She will be missed by her humans Tim, Sue & Anna (Spanner). OMG you never get used to this. Love to all humans and greys. xxxxxx

Happy 11th Birthday Daisy! I'm sure you have had a lovely day, I know your family adore you. :)) Sending you my cuddle tonight. Xxx

Hello from the New Forest.
It will be Daisy's 11 birthday on Saturday and Tim (her human) has asked to me put a special message on. She has also been in the Diggins household for 5 (and a quarter) years. Not been too well of late but seems to be on the mend.
Here's hoping all the waiting greys get a forever home/sofa soon. Paws crossed.
Love to all greys and humans.
Spanner, Tim, Sue and Daisy. xxxxxxx

Can't believe it has been five years since you took your beautiful Daisy home! Sorry to hear she hasn't been too well recently. Sending her lots of love....Kate, Skip, Lyra and Cracker Xxx

Spanner, so sorry to hear you have lost your cat, Gracie. Sending lots of love Kate Xxx

Hi, Hello from the New Forest on Daisy's 10th birthday. Bet there will be cake today! Gave a cuddle (several actually) on Sunday as I needed one myself (having lost my cat Gracie last week). She is a gorgeous girl.
Love too all greys and humans, paws crossed for those awaiting a forever sofa.
Love Spanner, Tim, Sue and Daisy xxx

Happy Gotcha day to your beautiful Daisy! Lots of love Kate Xxx

Daisy has now been with the Diggins family for 4 years. Still enjoys a cuddle but not being very good with her food sometimes. She can still be a bit quiet since losing Stan. We love her to bits. Love to all greys and humans. Spannerxx

Gave Daisy a cuddle in person today. Seems quiet without her big brother. Thanks for all your messages.
Daisy, Tim, Sue & Spanner xxxxx

Happy birthday Daisy. Enjoy your cake. I'll always remember our walk at Sheldon Park and singing Daisy Daisy to you. x

Hi All
Just to say Daisy will be 9 on Wednesday, OMG where has the time gone. She is now keeping an on eye on Stanley who has been confirmed as an old man, poor thing. They will both get cake on Wednesday even off someone's plate if necessary!!!
Love to all greys and humans. Enjoy the long weekend.
Love Spanner, Tim & Sue, Daisy & Stanley. xxx

Hi All Greys and Humans,
A quick message from Tim, Daisy's human to say she has now been with us for 3 years. She is a definite live wire and knows her own mind. Enjoying her new garden with her brother Stanley (getting a bit wobbly but still a lovable chap).
Paws crossed for those greys awaiting a sofa.
Love Daisy, Stanley, Tim, Sue and Spanner xxx

Daisy, hope you had a really lovely Birthday! Lots of love Kate Xxx

Happy birthday for yesterday x

A very happy 2nd Gotcha Day to Daisy! I know how much all the family love you. :)) Xxx Great to hear Sue is starting to feel better after her nasty fall. Sending a big cuddle for you both to share. Lots of love Kate, Skip, Fletcher and Lyra. Xxx

Happy 2nd Gotcha Day Daisy, have a great day xxxxxxxx

Good news from the New Forest.
Hope this finds everyone well.
A happy 2nd gotcha for Daisy, it has flown by. She & Stanley are good together. Sue is slowly improving from a bad fall (not S & D fault). Stanley will be getting a special mention soon as his birthday is coming up.
Good luck to all greys and carers.
Daisy, Stanley, Tim, Sue & Spanner xxx

Sending lots of get well hugs to Daisy! Hope she will soon feel better. Xxx

Awww. Poor Daisy. That's a lot of teeth to have removed but, if she's anything like my Bert was, she'll be so much better without them. Bert had all of his teeth removed I've 3 separate ops.
Glad to hear she's got some bounce back and is eating.
Take care. x

Daisy I do hope you are feeling better after your recent troubles, take care little one xxxx

Daisy recently had her birthday but has been having trouble with her teeth/gums. Went in for dental on Saturday and had 25 teeth removed and had to spend the night. Human Tim and grey Stanley found it weird without her. Collected yesterday and had some of usual bounce and managed a light meal.
Hope all greys and their humans are staying safe. Annaxx

Brilliant to hear how Daisy is getting on. So pleased she and Stanley love each other! Sorry to hear Stanley's Arthritis is worse. :(
Hoping that Daisy will learn to accept little fluffies! Lots of love to you all. Xxx

Great new from the New Forest from Stanley and Daisy.

Daisy will be 6 on Saturday 1st June (Tim has made her a card!!!). She has been with us for 9 weeks now, seems longer. Stanley suffering with arthritis. Tim is walking separately, shorter and softer for Stanley who is now on CBD oil.
Stanley and Daisy get on fantastic, rub noses and she licks his ears and feet (Spanner - mine too!!!) when he is lying down. She has made great progress with getting used to all the new dogs and breeds we meet, but small fluffy ones she is a bit too interested in at the moment. She is very affectionate to anyone visiting (shame about the hair loss), also if we meet people without dogs.
We got her a Julius K9 harness, thank you Kate, seems to calm her and gives me better control. Unfortunately the first time she ran in the garden after 1.5 weeks ? hurt/damaged rear left leg and pad of right leg, 3 visits to vets. Been on lead ever since. However yesterday took her to Racing Kennels near Romsey and they really checked her over before running in the sand. No real problems, a little bit of scar tissue from racing days (and possibly when she jarred herself when running in the garden) we are very relieved.
We hope that all the Greys get their forever homes/sofas soon.
Lots of love Stanley, Daisy, Tim, Sue and Spannerxx

Hi Tim and Sue, so happy to hear Stanley and Daisy are getting on well together. Lots of love Kate Xxx

Good news from the New Forest.
Stanley has now been with us for 6 years and is 10.5 years young. Daisy his new sister (2.5 weeks) she has been fantastic. They both get on so well sharing a bed (even though they have one each). We are all happy bunnies - whoops wrong word!!! but Easter is only one week away. Good luck to all greys waiting forever sofas/homes. Thanks to all the helpers. Lots of love Tim, Sue, Stanley, Daisy and Anna Spanner. xxx

Hi, seen Daisy a couple of times over weekend apparently settling nicely and even shared bed with Stanley. Seems to have a lovely nature. Getting used to her new neighbourhood - 4 shit suz (? spelling) didn't help in one go. Apparently not keen on cats either just like Stanley. She sneaks up behind you so definitely going to have to keep an eye out.
Hugs for all greys. Annaxxx

Meet Daisy yesterday, she is lovely. Will soon settle into the Diggins Madhouse. Thanks all for good wishes. Hugs to Greys. Anna xx

Lots of love to Daisy and her new family! Xxx

Ah what a lovely rehoming photo daisy! Have a wonderful life and love to stanley too xxx

Wishing Daisy, Stanley and their family loads if lovely times. Hope all goes well. Xxxx

Lots of happiness in your new home Daisy. Met your new family yesterday and I know you will have a lovely life with them. Your new brother Stanley is gorgeous! Lots and lots of hugs. xx

Enjoy your new life Daisy, you have a lovely new home and a big brother to show you the way. Very best wishes to you all. xx

Hi, Daisy
Looking forward to meeting you soon and welcome to the family. So please Stanley chose well. See you soon. Love Anna (Spanner) xx

Have a good life Daisy, I’m sure you and Stanley will be a great couple!

Daisy, I'm so happy for you (although I am sad I won't get to say goodbye to you as you'll be gone by Friday). I had the pleasure of meeting your new bruvva Stanley yesterday and your new mummy and daddy. They are going to love you so much and you'll have an amazing life with them. Be a good girl. x

Ah well done daisy, so you are the lucky pooch stanley picked as his girlfriend! Told you 3rd time lucky xxx

Ok, so not Auntie Shirley. Shame as that means I probably wont get to see you again....sad..sad....but...a nice family by the sounds of it so that is the main objective. I hope they will love and cherish you and that you will all have many wonderful years together. I will think of you often thats for sure. You are such a special girly Daisy. Lots of love to you and your new family. X

Oooh baby girl.....did auntie shirley answer my request???? I do hope so. I am so very very happy for you. Just need to get your ex kennel mate Debs a nice home now. She is also so lovely, dispenses wonderful kisses & cuddles and walks nicely when out on lead. Xx

Daisy, Daisy, i am so very happy to see that you have been reserved, have a wonderful retirement sweetheart you so deserve this xxxxxxx

Oh Daisy this is fabulous news. So pleased to see your red sign! Well done! Xx

Am so pleased Daisy that you are being such a good girl and I am delighted that you are enjoying your stay with Auntie Shirley. My Melly was unwell after his dental when arriving at the kennels and had to have lots of tlc from Auntie Ruth...are you sure you cant pretenc to be my missing grandgirl. I love you so much and would love to give you all that you deserve. I know we shouldnt have favourites and I really do love everyone but you get a tincy wincy bit more love from me. I am desperate to see you get a nice home but I wont half miss you. Maybe you can persuade Auntie Shirley that she wont notice if you stay on!!! That way we all get to see you occasionally!! No pressure Auntie Shirley...just saying..........xxx

What a lovely update for Daisy. So sorry to hear that she was poorly after her op, thank you both so much for taking her home to give her some much needed TLC. xx

Just a little update on little Daisy. She has been staying with us since Thursday evening when she returned from her neutering operation and having some teeth removed. Can't really make much comment on the first two days because she was quite poorly after her operation.
She has been clean in the house, going into the garden to do what she needed to even when she was poorly. She is gaining confidence all the time, coming out of her cage to wait with our three for treats and meals. She has been for a little wander with Cello (Cello doesn't care about other dog breeds) and when she saw a small dog she was really interested but turned back when told no.
Now that she is feeling better she is eating her meals, eating the same food as our three.
From what we have seen of her so far, with a little bit of time for her to settle, she will be a lovely little dog to have in your home. Clean in the house, eating well and able to get on with other greyhounds.

Good luck daisy! Xxx

Ah, Daisy. I'm SO happy you're being fostered. I haven't stopped thinking about you since I walked you on Sunday. I was looking forward to seeing/walking you this Sunday when we come to the kennels but this is much better for you. Your foster parents will either fail (fingers crossed) or they can at least report on your needs in a home. If I could have fostered or adopted you I would have done. Good luck sweetheart. x

Oh Daisy this is wonderful. I hope everything goes well! Xx

Lovely to see a fostered sign for you Daisy, well done xxx

Well done girly........I obviously wont be walking you tomorrow if you are not there. I shall miss you but I hope you will have a nice break and I look forward to hearing all about where you have gone.

This little girl is, as LM says, such a sweetheart. Initially, I thought she might be my long lost grandgirl but sadly she isnt. She is the image of my Melly and has melted my heart but like LM I cant have 3 again. She is always so gentle when I go into her kennel and never complains when Debs butts in to get a kiss & cuddle. She is always good when being walked. I havent been with her around any other dogs other than the kennel residents so I cant comment. I am hoping that she will not be waiting too much longer for her retirement sofa. She so deserves it.

I had the pleasure of walking this sweetheart today at the Sheldon Country Park Walk. She waited patiently to leave the kennels and got into the soft crate in our campervan by herself easily. She didn't seem phased at all by the fact our own greyhound, Skip, was in his own crate. When we got to the park she quietly waited to be let out of the van. I was warned that she's not keen on little dogs and she did initially bark and pull a bit, but with distraction and telling her she was a good girl she calmed down. She walked very well other than when she saw the little dogs off lead - again, some gentle talking to her and distraction and she kept walking. It started raining quite heavily and this didn't phase her either.

She got back into the camper happily and we took her back to the kennels. She then didn't want to get out. I think she wondered why we'd taken her back. It broke my heart but we can't have 3 dogs.

From what I've seen of Daisy today, she's a sweetheart but but won't be able to live with little dogs (or maybe non greys?) Walking-wise she was a little bit of a puller when there were off lead dogs, but I'm not strong and I could control her.

I really hope someone with the right home set up falls in love with beautiful Daisy and takes her to her forever home soon.

Lynne x

Poor daisy! As sirenmelody said...3rd time lucky xxx

Oh Daisy - what a shame. But there WILL be that perfect home out there for you somewhere. Just a little longer wait. Xx

Oh sweetheart not again....tears & tears......but on the bright side!!!! Third time lucky???? I am sure it will be when the next hoomans come along. It is still early days and you are such a lovely and cuddly girl and very gentle. There will be more than one right hooman home for you and all the boys and girls (hoomans are easier to train!!) but when sharing the resident pooch has to be right from the off!! Chin up lovely and at least I get to cuddle you again in a few days. Xx

Poor Daisy !! Mind coming from kennels and meeting a long haired dachund - she probably didn’t know what it was !! Xx

Well, our little flower Daisy is no longer reserved. :( The family brought their long haired Dachshund to meet her this morning and very sadly Daisy didn't like her at all. We were all very sad as she would have had a lovely home. We are very grateful to her prospective family for considering her, they were terribly disappointed....Daisy, don't worry non of us are perfect. :) but sure the perfect home is out there for you. My cuddle goes to you today. Xxx

Aw bless you Daisy, why are you no longer reserved, so sad to read this, you get my cuddle for today xxxx

Well done daisy! Fingers crossed for you this time xxx

Well done Daisy! .She was so good on her walk today. She enjoys a good old sniff and does a bit of gardening! She's a delightful dainty little girl. Good luck in your new home xxxx

A cuddle today for Daisy, i do hope her sofa comes along soon xxx

Daisy is a delightful, lady she loves nuzzling into you for strokes an cuddles.
Lovely little dog xxx

Pretty little Daisy came with me to Sheldon Country Park today. She seemed a little nervous to start with but soon settled when we got walking. She was a pleasure to walk. She travelled well and made me laugh when we got back to the kennels. Within 30 seconds she was on her back with her legs in the air! She's a sweet little girl xx

Sadly Daisy is no longer reserved, she is such a very sweet and lovely girl. Sure she won't have to wait too long for her forever home to come along. Xxx

Aw no, sad to see that Daisy is no longer reserved, hope she gets her forever home soon xxxxx

Well I sang to Daisy this afternoon, she's such a lovely girl and so well mannered that she gave me a kiss. I think she was probably trying to get me to stop!! Well done to her and thank you to her prospective family. Xxx

So,happy for Daisy! Xxx

Good work Daisy!!! Xxxxxxx

Well done beautiful, didn't think you would be waiting for a home very long xxxxx

Daisy looks a right little sweetheart xxxxx

Oh you look a very sweet little girl daisy xxx

I don’t see you having a long stay Daisy you’re gorgeous! Xx
