Ruth, I am so sorry to hear about Foxy. I always remember saying to you that Keano and I were so much part of each other that I didn’t know where I ended and Keano began. You said that was exactly like you and Foxy. Both of them had so many issues but we loved them so much. Foxy could not have had a better mum and you gave him a wonderful life. Run free Foxy, God has got another beautiful, mischievous angel. I am thinking of you Ruth and sending our love, from Carol and Moe xxxx

So sorry to read this Ruth. The greatest gift we give our hounds is letting them go to be free forever. Thinking of Foxy and all who loved him tonight. Xx

Ruth we are devastated for you, foxy was one in a million and brought so much laughter with his antics, everyone loved him, he will never be forgotten, bless him xxx

Ruth and Andy, No words can say how sad we are, but Foxy heard the words "treats" on the other side of "The Bridge" and you had to let him go. Forever in your hearts, God Bless and sweet dreams old boy. Go pinch those treats !!! xxxxxxxx

Such very sad news, Foxy was a special boy. He was a "grown up" when I really got to know him; but he was always doing something he shouldn't and Ruth would come into the kennels some mornings exasperated with his latest antic! Eating lots of mince pies and weeing on the bed spring to mind...I lost count of the times she said she was going to put him up for adoption! :) However we all knew she adored him and he loved his Mommy! I will miss seeing him sauntering around the kennels checking out what's going on, but I'm sure he will be with us in spirit along with Joseph. God Bless his cheeky new Angel, lots of love to Ruth and Andy. Xxxxxx

So sorry to hear about Foxy Ruth.He was a very popular dog with everyone,and had a great personality I know he meant the world to you and it will be very hard to lose him,but you gave him an amazing life and help make him who he was,and you should be very proud of that,So hold your head up up up! x

Thoughts with you tonight Ruth. You did the toughest final act of love for your lovely Foxy today.

So sorry for you. Big hug :(( xxx

So very sorry to hear this, thinking of you, much love Helen, Andie and pups xxxx

Ruth, with you he had 12 1/2 fantastic years full of love and adventures. He couldn't have had a better mom. He will always be part of Daybreaks and will now keep his eye on everything from the brightest star in the sky. Sending you and Andy all our love. Xxx

Ruth, I am so very sorry to hear your sad news about Foxy, I never met him but from reading all the comments he sounded quite a character, I know only too well how you must be feeling, but your boy is now pain free and playing with all our other angels who have crossed Rainbow Bridge, be strong and try to focus on all the love and good time you have shared, much love from us to you xxxxxx

Ruth, there are no words. I'm so sorry for your loss xxx

We are so sad for you Ruth, foxy was Daybreaks elderly statesman and everyone will miss him terribly. Take some comfort from all the happy memories you must have, we will always remember him at the birthday party when he was a true party king enjoying going round everyone pinching any food he could and flirting with the girls, priceless. Run free at the bridge no longer in pain xx

Aw Ruth I’m so sorry and gutted for you. Foxy was amazing. Run free.

So so sorry Ruth I'm gutted for you Your lovely fella was loved by all and your devotion saw him through to a fantastic age Run free gorgeous You will be so missed and forever loved X X

Sleep tight. Hugs for your mummy. Xxxx

I'm so so sorry Ruth. I know exactly how you must be feeling right now. You have done the kindest possible thing for him and the pain you must be feeling reflects how much was loved. Give Katy a big cuddle I'm me. I hope she is good for you xxxx

No words can express how sad i feel for you, but Foxy was a legend and will never be forgotten, so happy i had cuddles with him yesterday, running free now no longer in pain xxx

The saddest news. So very, very sorry, Ruth. Will miss the handsome chap doing his walks round the kennels and keeping an eye on things from his bed in the office. You gave him a fantastic life. Run free Foxy with all your friends at Rainbow Bridge. Xx

Ruth, I am so sorry and heartbroken for you, I know just how special your boy was. I really don't know what else to say just now, apart from he had the most incredible mom and home and knew everlasting love. Mr Foxy UpUps run fast and free with all our special hounds that have crossed the bridge. Hugs to you Ruth. so very sorry and sad. Jo Xxxxx

Awww Ruth so sorry to hear this, I’ve been thinking of you since you posted he wasn’t well. You gave him a truely amazing life, he couldn’t of wished for better....you got to keep remembering all the fantastic moments you had with him. Sending you love xxx

Oh Foxy - now you can run & play with your pals again free from pain and suffering.

Ruth, you are in our thoughts & prayers at this time. Keep those special memories close in your heart - in time you'll be able to look back on them and smile at his antics.

I think so many people will miss Mr Foxy pottering at the kennels. Sleep tight handsome. xxxxx

Today my little fella ran free. Foxy was just 14 weeks old when he was left at a vets with terrible injuries. For the last 12 1/2 years his fantastic personality has kept me on my toes - sleep tight Uppy - I’ll miss you so much xxxx

Run free with all our angels at The Bridge xx

So sorry Ruth to hear this but I know you will have absolutely done the right thing for him at the right time.

Wishing Foxy a very Happy Birthday! Xxx

Happy Birthday Foxy, hope you've had a lovely day x

Oh my days. Very happy birthday to Mr Uppy Upps. Foxy, have a fab birthday mate, love from Jo and the gang. Go Foxy, go Foxy go......yeah. xxxxxxx

Happy birthday to Daybreaks most lovable hound. Life and soul of the party last summer. We hope you have a super day xx

Happy 12th Birthday to my handsome monster!!!!!! Love him so much x

Thank you to everyone for your concern over Foxy. His blood tests came back mainly showing anaemia. I have got some more medication to collect today and have the task of collecting a urine sample to drop in at the vets to try and find out what is the cause of his weight loss.

So sorry Foxy feerls under the weather again. Hope his blood tests are OK and that you can find something that will help. Sending him a big hug. Xx

Foxy had been doing really well since his epidural nearly 2 weeks ago but at his review today he has lost over 2.5kg and he has started panting a lot again - I can tell he is not so happy - especially as he has been refusing some treats and his favourite food. Blood tests have been done today and we will have the results tomorrow to see what more we can do.

Hope all goes OK for Foxy today. We are thinking of you. Xx

Been thinking of Foxy today. Hope all is OK. Xx

Will be thinking of you on Monday. Hope so much they can find a way to help. All fingers and oaws crossed. Xx

All fingers crossed this end Ruth. good luck Foxy x

We have managed to get Foxy an urgent appointment at Dovecote Veterinary Hospital again on Monday for another scan and to try and find out if there is anything that can be done for him. Please keep your fingers crossed for my little fella x

cuddle goes to Foxy today. xxxx

Ruth, Rob and Foxy; sending love to you all. x

Ruth and Rob, I am so sad to hear about Foxy, you will do your very best for him as you always do. Sending all our love, Suzy and Tara too XXXX

Ruth and Rob, we are thinking of you and know you will do whatever is best for Foxy. Hugs to you all. Xx

So so sorry to hear this Ruth &Rob , foxy is such a beauty .......Hugs from us x x

Lots of love to Foxy Xxx

Ruth we are thinking of you we know how much you love your beautiful baby's and that you will do what's best for our foxy baby we feel for you so much but you know what's best for him bless you all and big big hugs to and big licks form tinker to ??????????????X

Ruth...such a hard decision. I know you have such a kind heart and will make the right decision...sending best wishes. Xxx

Ruth our heart goes out to you and Foxy ...as always we all know you will do the right thing..for the right reasons at the right time Thinking of you with love x x

My heart is breaking for my little fella. I spent over an hour at the vets with him yesterday but unfortunately his back problems are getting worse and it seems there is little more that can be done for him and we have to decide what is best for him. :-(

Poor Foxy. Hope he feels better soon. Sending love and positive thoughts. X

Foxy was at the kennels today...he was very quiet :( Hoping the acupuncture is successful. Lots of love to him. Xxx

Huge hugs to Foxy. luvs you. xxxx

Oh poor foxy we do hope your acupuncture is going to help you tinker sending lick to you and we are sending big hugs to such a special boy ???????????????? xx

Poor Foxy. Hope the acupuncture helps him. Sending him hugs. xx

My poor fella is not doing well. He has been getting increasingly lame and crying out when moving. His pain relief has been increased gradually over the last few weeks and yesterday he had a trial of acupuncture to hopefully help. He is a sad little fella and the house is very quiet but anything worth stealing in the food department is safe!

Oh dear. Poor Hilton and poor Foxy. Hope both are feeling better today. xx

Oh no...poor Hilton; hope he will be ok. Hope Foxy's back will be ok too. Xxx

Aggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh! :-( After never bothering with our ducks over the last 4 years, Foxy thought it would be fun to chase them today teaching Coilean all the wrong things and she joined in the fun....... luckily she was muzzled but as Foxy wasn't, Hilton one of our ducks was not so lucky. He was shaken but still alive and Foxy is now crying out every time he moves as he must have tweaked his back..... out come the Tramadol again..... grrrrrrrrrr - it just proves you can't be too careful.

Happy birthday Foxy!! Xx

Wishing Foxy a very Happy Birthday! Xxx

Happy Birthday, Foxy! Hope you have had a great day. lots of hugs. xx

Whoooooooo!!!! Guess who is the Birthday Boy today!!!! Our little fella has reached double figures :-)

Blink and you missed him - bless - never mind! Because of his participation and due to the intervention of Plimsol productions, Kat the vet & Fivelands he finally seems to be on the road to recovery. He is my little superstar and that's what matters :-)

I saw him too! :). Xxx

I think it was but far too short a clip. Oh Mr Foxy Up Ups, you should have been on for longer, but at least they got to the bottom of your problem, much more important than being a super star I think. Luv to you and the rest of the Boswells clan. Xxxxxxx

Foxy Boswell - did I just see you on TV?!! Xx

Hope we do get to see Foxy on TV....great to see him looking much so much better last week when he came to the kennels. Xxx

What a shame Foxy might not be a super star. Do hope yhey dhow a bit of him afrer all the lovely fella has been through. Thank goodness he got the right prognosis and treatment (finally). So ooh pleased he has now been discharged and is hopefully after his op totally pain free and back to the normal Mr Foxy Up Ups, and hopefully back to his old antics. Xxxxx

We had a film crew at our house for a couple of days filming Foxy for a programme 'Pets who hate Vets'. He was a perfect candidate as the poor fella has been through a lot in his life and understandably the vets is somewhere he rather wouldn't be!

As part of the programme, another vet and behaviourist were brought in to assess Foxy and it was deemed that his problem wasn't behavioural (as suggested by Willows following his MRI last year) but he was in pain (as I thought!!!!). He was therefore referred to Dovecoat Veterinary Hospital where he underwent surgery and he has just been discharge having healed well.

As his problem was not behavioural, he won't be used in the programme (although I have been told there may be a bit), you can see for yourself - the programme is on Channel 5 on Tuesday 3rd November at 8pm.

So glad Foxy is home and doing well. What a super brave boy he is. Dave has also had his op and has a 4 inch stapled wound but apparantly I can't keep him in a crate! Not sure he is feeling as bouncy as Foxy though. Hope to be back doing walks at Daybreaks as soon as possible. Hugs for the lovely Foxy. xx

Uppy update! I collected Foxy on Monday evening following his back surgery and he went crazy when he came into the waiting room - something he is not allowed to do!!!! He has a stapled wound of around 4 inches long on his back and he has to have crate rest for 4 weeks. He is a rubber ball as he bounces back every time - I LOVE my little fella - can't wait for the day you can run around the park again - not long now - best get some more chicken and ham treats for him!

Yey...well done Foxy ( and Albert )! So happy for both your brave soldiers :-) x

so pleased Foxy is doing well and will soon be back home. xx

The vets are really pleased with Foxy's progress and I am able to collect him at 4pm..... CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM!

Great news Foxy! What a very brave boy you are. Xx

Brilliant news! What a soldier Foxy is! ...so sorry I can't be at the kennels for you to go and get him...Xxx

Huge relief for all that Foxy has done so well Great news ! x x

Had a phone call yesterday morning to say my tough little cookie was walking around just fine and they were taking him off his injectable pain relief and all looking good for him to come home on Monday...... anybody fancy covering the kennels so I can go and get him early?????!!!!!! ;-)

Great news for Foxy. So glad he is doing well. Dave says he hopes he gets over his op as quickly!

I was thinking about Foxy yesterday, so was really pleased to read this latest update. Phew! Keeping everything crossed for a continued good recovery from now on xx

We had a telephone call yesterday evening to say our little fella had been up and walking around! I am so happy and relieved. Thank you for all your care and concern = it means so much x

Hope everything is going well for Foxy. Love to you all. Xxx

Sending my cuddle to cheeky Foxy Boswell tonight...hope he will soon be back to his old tricks! Lots of love Kate, Twiggy and Skip. Xxx

Our precious and brave Foxy had his operation this afternoon. All has gone well so far..... we are going to receive an update on him from the Professor who is caring for him at around 9.30pm and then we hope to collect him on Monday evening. It is soooo quiet here - missing him so much :-(((((((

Sending my cuddle to Foxy hope your feeling better soon mate xxx

Foxy is off for his back operation tomorrow.... I took him for a fabulous walk in the woods today and he has had lots of treats and is currently snuggled on the sofa with me... Love my little fella xxxx

We'll all be thinking about Foxy on the 2nd - hope he's soon back to his mischievous ways!!! Mand x

Poor Foxy...do hope the operation will finally resolve his problems. Sending him lots of love. Xxx

Good luck Foxy, get well soon xx

Poor Foxy. Do hope the surgery will make him feel better. Sending him loads of hugs.xxxx PS. Dave says could he book into the same place as Foxy as he has the same problem with discs in the spine and is on a never ending waiting list for an operation to fix it!

Love to Foxy. Xx

Oh Foxy, you are really going through it just recently my boy. Let's hope that now something definite has been found and something can be done about it, that very soon you will be feelng more like your old self again and keeping your Mum & Dad on their toes again!! Big hugs to you and your Mum & Dad too. xxx

Foxy, really hoping this finally sorts your problem out and you feel loads better. Love and hugs to you and all your lovely family. xxxx

Sending my cuddle to you Foxy hoping and praying you feel much better after the op brave boy xxx

Big hugs to Foxy x

I took Foxy to see a Professor in Neurology yesterday at Dovecoat Veterinary Hospital in Castle Donnington. Most of you will know that he has been having ongoing problems since last July with pain and chewing himself and despite skin scrapes, x-rays, MRI, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, canine massage and a multitude of medications with visits to Willows and West Midlands Referrals Centre in Lichfield these were to no avail.

The repeat MRI revealed he does indeed have a problem with the sciatic nerve and discs in his lower back and he is undergoing back surgery to remove a piece of bone in a section of his spine on the 2nd October to hopefully resolve the problem.

He is extremely miserable after yesterday added to the fact that he is still missing Maggie incredibly..... my heart is breaking for our little fella....

LadyVictoria, don't you mean his pawtograph!! Sorry, couldn't resist that one, will look forward to seeing him on TV.x

How exciting...Foxy a TV star! Must get his Autograph! :) Xxx

Patchwork Foxy has been the centre of attention over the past couple of days with a film crew following him around as he is helping with a documentary about his injuries and visits to the vets. He has taken it in his stride and has 'performed' well!!!! We will keep you posted as to when he will be on the TV!

Thinking of you Ruth and Robbie , We hope the big Fella heals well and that it is nothing serious .........Hugs from Vince and Sarah

Sending foxy lots of love cuddles and big hugs today you are such a brave boy we hope you will soon get better love tinker and nana xxx

Sending you BIG thought cuddles Foxy. Hope you are feeling much better very soon. xxxx

After being operated on, on 21st May, Foxy is healing well. We are just waiting for the histology from the large area debrided from his side. The fat layers were yellow and pitted (instead of being white) with a hole going into the muscle. At his post op check on Friday it was noticed that he had another patch developing on his neck. He was therefore started on steroids and so far the patch has not enlarged. He had blood tests yesterday to check his kidneys to rule out Alabama Rot also!! My little patchwork fella is bright, happy, eating and a brave boy. Thanks for all your kind words about him x

Hope everything rights its self very soon Foxy xxx

Salty hugs from me and Daisydog for the lovely Foxy. Xxx

Thinking of Foxy and you both. Hoping all will be well. Sending our love and positive thoughts. Xxx

We're sending you positive thought cuddles Foxy and keeping our fingers / paws crossed that you're soon feeling much better. xxxx

I'm beside myself with worry.... Foxy started chewing himself again on Sunday evening, seen at vets Monday, skin scrape, swabs etc done and started on antibiotics. Each day it has got horribly worse so today he is being operated on.

It has been going on since July last year. He has had skin tests, x-rays, steroids, antibiotics, pain relief etc - had hydrotherapy, MRI and specialist referral at Willows and there seems to be no reason. We tried changing his food - no difference.... Tried Neem, turmeric, acupuncture, canine massage etc etc..... at a loss.... :-(

Happy Birthday to you Foxy. Hope you've had a darned fine day xxx

Glad MRI went ok-ish, Foxy is stunning boy.He seems to think he is a kangaroo is this why he was being scaned?? But lots of greys have aussie pedigrees maybe thats it. Xxx

Just like Muddypaws says, while not great news it could be so much worse. I am sure once his pain relief is sorted he will feel so much better. Sending a big hug. Xx

So pleased for foxy hope that the tablets can help him also sending our love to you Ruth and rob and a big cuddle to foxy tinker and nanna Xxx

Mr & Mrs Boswell.....l came past your gaff earlier....have you got squatters moving in....or is that a new kennel block you are building on your drive !!!!!!!! Please tidy it up.....your'e bringing down the neighbourhood.....Yardley used to be such a nice area !!! LOL.

So pleased for Foxy... and Ruth & Rob !!! l know the diagnosis is'nt brilliant , but it could have been an awful lot worse !!! At least it may be manageable. l think maybe a Fish & Chip supper is in order !!! For Foxy that is....not you Ruth....remember that diet !!! You need to fit into that outfit for the Xmas show....whatever that may be....hmmmmm. X.

Yippee for Foxy! Sending him my cuddle today...I think he will already have had lots and lots from Ruth and Rob. Xxx

We had a call late yesterday evening from Willows to say they were keeping Foxy in as he had a late anaesthetic for his MRI but his scan was not showing anything really horrible..... it looks like he has slight degeneration of his spine possibly causing the nerves to trap but this can hopefully be controlled with pain relief...... I am lost without him and I can't wait to fetch him! x
Thanks so much for your concern - it means a lot.......

I hope all is well Foxy x x Hugs

Happy anniversary Ruth & Rob. Foxy was obviously doing you a favour and saving you from yourselves. At least he saved you the wine!!! Enjoy your evening xx

What a bugger!! Congrats on your anniversary though xx

Happy Anniversary Ruth and Rob....how romantic running through puddles and mud! Well done to you all for getting to 10k. I am sure Foxy was just thinking of you when he ate the cake, he obviously thought as you are in training you shouldn't be indulging in things such as cake! Xxx

We have just got back from training for the Wolf Run..... YAY we completed 10k tonight! I had to jump straight in the shower as we have been running through the mud and the streams etc over Elmdon Park. I came down and thought I would have an anniversary treat (Robbie and I have been married 19 years today) by having a slice of the delicious belated Birthday cake given to me today by Diane one of our volunteers.... erm and guess what..... the look of Mr Foxy said it all..... even though it was on top of the microwave, pushed to the back and wrapped in tin foil it was easy pickings for the pointy eared monster..... grrrrrr.... thank goodness he can't open the fridge and drink my wine!!!!!!!!! Good job I love him! :-)

Ah happy Birthday Foxy, I didnt realise he had such a horrible start to life, and how cute was he as a pup :) bet he is being well and truly pampered today. xxx

Happy birthday handsome boy xxxx

Happy birthday foxy. Is ur mommy throwing u a.party? Maybe she cud throw u a surprise party on Monday lol. X

Happy Birthday little fella! You made it!!!!!! 6 today :-) xxx

Ruth I don't see that Foxy having ears that are too pointy a justified reason for returning him, our Izzy ,Dylan , Cara, and Vinnie look too much like Greyhounds for my liking!!!
You never warned us about this! I feel we where mislead LOL Jenny and Mark X

One of mine has just wee'd on the mat in the front room. As I cannot determine who it is I think I will return Foxy as his ears are too pointy, Maggie as she has too much white with her black, Basil as he leans too much, Shrew as she is a bit old and grey, Joe with his lumpy throat and Wispa because she is too perfect. Wouldn't life be quiet..... and very boring. Forget it! My family are staying - good times with bad!

Hi Ruth, I loved your April Fool joke! He may be naughty but Foxy is so beauftiful, I am sure you can forgive him anything! I am a little behind the times as I have had to take some time off work due to a gammy leg and our computer at home has seen better days. Great news Cracker has at last found a lovely home and Max is staying with his foster parents, he is a lucky boy. I just need to hear Geezer has a new home too and I will be very happy! I am back at work now and missing Twiggy terribly, it was so lovely being at home with her, she is a brilliant nurse! Despite the problem with my leg, walking was one of the things I could do, so we had a great time! Love to all at Daybreaks. Kate xx

Ha Ha very funny Mr Wolfy has just had 5 more corns removed he is now recoverung thank god i pay vet insurance

Hahaha,this cracked me up Ruth lol.

I think he's in the best place! It did take me a while to realise what you'd done, I kept thinking "That looks like Ruth's Foxy...it can't be...she wouldn't...but it is Foxy..." Then I realised what the date was, very funny! They do drive us mad sometimes but they add so much too! Have a lovely Easter x

I'm so disappointed that no one came forward!!!!! Gosh, was it the 1st April today?! He drives me to the edge with his behaviour some days but he is stopping here (I wouldn't be without him for the world) and we do really love him to bits (and in little pieces some days!)

Well done Foxy, I am sure your new! owners will shower you with love and treats and let you get away with murder!!!

Well done Foxy for being in a lovely home and living with someone who understands your quirks! ;0)

Why don't you just raffle him, otherwise you'll never get rid of this one?! ;)

He he he, like it! Em xxx

Can I bring Charlie to the Trust today as well please? In his younger years he ate through 2 carpets, 2 lino's, 1 dining set, 1 door frame...he had so much energy he used to pace constantly, no matter how many walks he went on. He is so insecure that he follows me everywhere and gets anxious if he can't see me. He used to submissively wee on my feet every day after work and jump up and down like Tigger to any visitor who came. He has a skin condition, constant ear infections and obssesively nibbles himself raw. Now he's old he forgets to go to the toilet in the garden sometimes and then remembers when he's in the house...then it's too late! He's also deaf, a bit blind and on medication for a stroke he had last year, oh, and he sheds...lots...all the time!

He also has good qualities, now he's old he's decided that he needs to protect us from everyone, even my husband. He sleeps alot, which is good because he's deaf I can sneak off to the toilet without him following me as he doesn't know I've gone!

That's about it. Does anyone know what the date is today? Just wondering...?!?!

Oh Ruth how naughty!! What date is it today?

Foxy is arriving at the Trust today as his owner is having trouble coping with him. He unfortunately does wee on the carpets unpredictably and he likes to terrorise other dogs - especially blind ones.

He does have some good qualities - he can help empty the kitchen bin, he can reach into high kitchen cupboards by standing on the worktops for those hard to reach items and will devour anything that is left over. He also is an excellent alarm clock if you need a daily wake up call at around 5am. If he could be maybe fostered until he is approximately 8 years old when he has calmed down a bit, his owner would consider having him back. He bears an uncanny resemblance to a kangaroo also!
