Ha ha it's true. Two is just double trouble and makes for a far more interesting life. I love it! My Millie Moo is perfect as is my Miles and I love them both very much. They are a little double act :) x

Ahh, so pleased to hear this :-) although we had to return Clara, we loved her. I agree that two is so much fun xx

Just a quick up date. My little live wire has settled down so well. Milo is a great influence on her as he's so laid back and completely non- aggressive. She hardly ever barks at all now....she's learnt to ignore all the little yapping terriers in the village just like Milo does. Occassionally she still gets over excited by the horses but now understands it's not acceptable. She's great though we love her! She sleeps happily on her bed next to Milo's bed now and sometimes goes to him for comfort when I get the hoover out....then she stays on his bed for a cuddle. She occassionally has a grumble at Milo in the night but he just tells her off in his kind assertive manner or ignores her completely and all is well. They run togther across the fields every morning and she loves to come back for a big cuddle now! They are completely diferent but get on great, balancing each other out. Having 2 is so much more fun! It's like a comedy act watching them race out into the garden each morning and then standing looking at me to be let back in....she's so impatient and just has mischief written all over her face at times. She's so gentle and loving now though....it's nice to have a girl in the house! x x x

Ah look at my beautiful hounds!!!!! Milo looks so proud of himself here and you can hardly see Millie, she's so black! And she does still look a little unsure of herself but is settling down more and more each day....and responding to some training I have started doing with her! I hope she will be as happy as my boy is! We love her loads x

Ah, I'm so pleased to see a rehomed sign appear :-) Enjoy your forever home Clara (Millie) xxx Becky xxx

thank you Naomi and Milo for having this gorgeous girl in your home and hearts, i am sure she will settle down really soon especially when she realizes that this is her forever home. love to you all Ina xxxx

Ha ha it's soooo true Mand! They are my ying and yang. Mr Miles is calm and collected and Miss Millie is like a little live wire....it is quite funny! I could never compare them they are completely different. We did have a lovely quiet cuddle last night though :) x

Hi Naomi. This is so making me laugh - you could be describing our family -ever dependable, solid, calm Gent and Tigger's twin, Emily! Her head never seems to stop moving and given half a chance, she can get into so much mischief (can't count the times she jumped up to the sink while we're out and 'killed' the washing up sponge. Don't you just love 'em though! Mand x

Thanks Ina and Stef and Becky! Left them to go to work yesterday and all was fine when I got home (except a few minor things like cushions on the floor...again and a chewed coaster :). She is settling down, I think they all just need time to develop and adjust to being a pet. I agree she is quite intelligent...maybe a bit too clever for her own good at times...very iinquisitive like a little ferret :). Once she starts running safely with Milo she should calm down a lot more...that was the making of him! x x x

Really pleased she's doing well, she's a poppet. She responded well to the routine when with us, and having Milo to show her the ropes will soon get her settled. Thanks so much for taking her...her history on here doesn't reflect what a lovely dog she is. Please send her a kiss from Perdi :-) xx

how lovely to hear that she is doing well so far, sure she has lots to learn she is only a baby after all and has not learnt a thing yet but she has a wonderful teacher in Milo who is such a gorgeous boy and it looks like you Naomi have it all under control, good luck and looking forward to more updates. Love Ina xxxx

Ha ha thanks I hope she was smiling!!! :) She's a beautiful little girl and it seems she is in desperate need of some stability, through no fault of her own or anyone elses! She was very excitable but is learning well from my handsome Milo. He has been amazing with her and I'm so lucky to have him! Clara (Millie) is like a different dog already, learning to relax more and enjoy a strict routine of food, walks and sleep. She is already learning the boundaries very well but sometimes just gets carried away with excitement in her youth! I think we will get there with time and she is definately settling down. I hope this continues and she can stay as it's sooooo lovely having her! :) x x x

She had the biggest doggy smile on her face when Naomi and Milo came to fetch her today, keep fingers crossed all will go well and you will have your forever home with all the love you could want. xxxx

Oh thats just made my day, so happy for you Clara, hope all goes well sweety. luv t xx

I'm really happy this great girls won some very lucky families heart. Yey! X

Really pleased to see Clara reserved again :-) we love her so much...who's her lucky new family? x

Hope somebody falls 4 your brilliant character this weekend. I just think your ace. X

Hi Emma. I echo what 'our Emma' says. I'm more than happy to bring our gentle fella, Gent, to meet your boys. He's a big blue softie, is a big hit with the kids at the roadshows and stands very still when being fussed. Just let me know if we can help. Mand & Gent

Emma, we know what a difficult decision it is to make :-( I'm sure the boys' confidence will build and they will love dogs before you know it xx

Hi Emma

I don't know whereabouts you live, but I am in Olton, Solihull, and if you would like to bring your little boy around to my house to visit my greys you would all be more than welcome. I have 3 greys who are all very used to and calm around children, but one of them (Sadie) is also very tiny so maybe she would be less intimidating to your little boy? Sadie has been very successful in helping one of my daughter's friends overcome his fear of dogs, so I have high hopes for her!

Best wishes, Em xxx

The family were heartbroken at returning Clara but are going to keep visiting Daybreaks to help build the boys' fear into confidence being around dogs. We can't wait for them to visit.... x

Oh Clara, my poor girl. Stef and Becky love you to pieces so glad we had the chance to cuddle you again on Saturday. I'm so sad that things haven't worked out for you again (yes, more tears), though I don't suppose you noticed really this time. Perdi sends you a doggy kiss too x x Becky x

how very heartbreaking for the family to have to return you and how sad for you, however you are an exeptionally beautiful little girl and will capture someone's heart before too long and hopefully the little boy will not be frightened too much so that one day he will be able to enjoy canine company as much as the rest of us do and feeling safe around them. much love Ina and her boys xxxx

Oh lovemygreys my boy is my 4 year old six stone puppy and I love him loads........even on an naughty day xxxx

Dear Clara, we were heartbroken that you could not come to live with us after all. It was through NO fault of your own. Our little boy didnt realise you were just being boisterous and playful, as he has special needs, and unfortunately he got really really scared. We are so sorry and know the right family is out there somewhere.
To anybody looking at Clara she is a wonderful, sweet, playful girl who will make a lovely addition to a home. We are just sorry that it couldnt be ours.Please give her a chance, she deserves it.
Thankyou to Ruth for being so understanding of our situation. Emma & familyXX

Oh dear Clara. I am not an expert on Greyhounds but aged 2 you are just behaving like a big puppy (which because of your previous life experience, that's what you are really) loving new experiences, full of bouncy energy, and frightening cats (unintentinally) just like my daughters SMALL puppy did to her 10 year old cat when it first arrived . Took a while but now cat does not live under the bed anymore! and its the puppy on the run now, playfully ! lol
The puppy also ran amock with any visiting children, some of whom where at first a little frightened. Greyhounds take a bit longerto get used to because they are not puppy sized when we get them. It is a learning curve for everyone, but as they say "your only young once, the Greyhound being the exception, but well worth the end result. good luck sweetheart, enjoy your youth (but not too much) xxx Jenny

Oh dear poor girl xxxx

O Clara. If I lived on my own I wud take u home with me tday. Your a fantastic, playful girl n I luv u t bits. Let's hope the right family fall 4 your charms soon. X

Oh dear Clara, third time lucky poppet, Em xxx

Poor Clara, so sad for you. I am sure the right home is out there. xxx

Oh Clara, that's a real shame, better luck in your next home sweety. luv t xx

Clara is coming back to the kennels this morning. She was so excited at being in a new home yesterday, sadly she frightened one of the boys. The family have therefore decided to return her.

Hi Emma. We met you earlier today, when we popped up to grab some food for our two. It was lovely chatting to you and I'm glad to see the reserved sign for Clara. Good luck with your home-check. Mand & Stefano x

Hi Emma
good luck with your home check, I'm sure it will be fine and you'll be able to take her home soon :-) I just know the boys are going to love her and she'll love having two play-mates xx

Becky
Thankyou for your kind message. We are awaiting our home check, but hopefully Clara will be with us soon. We can't wait! Will definately keep you up to date with her progress.
Love Emma X

Emma
So pleased you have decided to take Clara, she is a lovely dog and loads of fun. When she was with us she was getting good on the lead, was good with her housetraining and was very affectionate. We were gutted to have to return her and I'm so relieved she will now have the loving family she deserves. Keep us posted with her progress. Love Becky xx

Clara, we loved taking you for a walk today, we had so much fun and you were such a good girl. We love you already and there were some tears in the car when we had to leave you to go home. See you again on Saturday . Hugs from Emma,Rich,Luke,Oliver & Nan XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We came to see you today and you were so lovely. Thankyou for being so gentle and patient with us. The boys were a bit nervous but they are already getting excited about seeing you again on Wednesday. Lots of hugs and kissesXXXXXXX

Clara, I so wish I cud take u home with me. Your so lovely and so much fun. I don't understand why nobody has fell 4 your charms yet. I really hope your chosen soon. X

Clara is soooo pretty and she was very brave today and gave blood, she was good as gold and we had a proper snuggle session afterwards, gorgeous little girl. :-) xxx

It was great to see Clara again on Saturday, even if it did make me cry! She's such a lovely girl...I really hope someone gives her a chance soon; she's so intelligent and learnt such a lot in her week with us, Becky x

shes so much fun she will make a great pet

I had Clara all day at the Dog show yesterday and she is a lovely dog. She did have a lot of attention so i hope this can materialize into a forever home for her. She walked really well with our two and would make a great companion for someone. She has a really glossy coat and is house trained already.

I have just been brought my slipper from somewhere in the house by one of my greys so i am off to rescue it!

Clara is absolutley stunning in the flesh - so pretty, glossy and soft......i do hope you find your forever home soon sweetheart xxxxxx

Hi Ruth
We're planning on coming to the show on Saturday, I spoke to Zoe earlier. There will be two of us and Perdi and I'd be happy to lend a hand with dogs during the day if we can. We also need some food...I'll give you a call tomorrow xx

Oh Clara...why are you off the reserve list?!? sending hugs and hoping to see you at the weekend xx

Hi Becky
Having spoken to you about Clara I think you're doing the best thing for her returning her ... I know you're really upset about it but you've made the best decision for Clara and Darcy which takes a lot of courage especially when you love Clara (and of course Darcy).... there's absolutely the right dog out there for you and a home with no temptations for Clara :)

Best wishes

Julie x

Hi Stefan & Becky - thanks very much for your comments. Yes, Clara is reserved already.... I did say believe in fate! xxx

Oh my goodness, is it true that she is reserved again?!? love you loads Clara...be happy lovely girl x x

Hi Ruth
Thanks so much for your help and kind words, Stefan, Perdi and I all miss Clara terribly and are so sad that she couldn't stay with us. There is a hole in our world now and I hope that Clara is quickly given the forever home she deserves and will love x Becky x

I went over to see Clara in her trial home yesterday. Darcy the cat was clearly very unhappy with her being around especially when Clara barked. We all felt that although she could be trained it was not fair on Darcy and she came back to Daybreaks yesterday. Clara said she enjoyed her time in Evesham and was perfect in every other way. She will be a wonderful addition to someone's family. x

got to get time to come and see Clara its just getting the timing right for me and the wife!

Hi Stefan, would you like me to pop round and help you with some training? Just let me know and I am happy to. I can help you get through any difficulties..... I promise!

Thanks Ruth, we'll have a go with the food. We are walking Clara lots morning and evening, as well as games in the garden. She's loads of fun and Perdi seems to love her. Perdi can't cope with the massive amounts of exercise though, so I think we are going to have to come up with some strategies for giving them both the right level of activity. Love her to bits though xx

Clara was a real favorite of mine, I loved all her energy and she was so much fun, I wud hav loved t take her home, she's so affectionate aswell. Enjoy the craziness n maybe try t where her out with gud long walks n she'll luv that. Gud luk. She's gonna make a great conpanion. X

Hi Stefan, just a thought.... what are you feeding Clara? If you try her on Burns Pork & Potato, you may find this will change her behaviour a lot - also give her things to keep her occupied such as a kong or treat ball..... mental stimulation is a great way to help resolve this problem. x

Clara is wearing us all out, she has endless energy. She loves Perdi and is very well-behaved with her. The girls are still doing well at night, have coped well being left and so far the housetraining has been good. The only issue is the Cat, he's too scared of her now to venture downstairs! x

Clara is so much fun, she's having a great time playing with Perdi and is constantly on the go, never seems to rest, Perdi is shattered! She's doing v well with her house-training and obedience is improving. She's v puppyish and is into everything, keeps stealing things and taking them to her bed :-) we've now had two quiet nights from the girls, but the cat is still a challenge for Clara (We think she wants to play with him, but he's def not so keen!). We start back at work tomorrow so the girls will be alone during the day (we've practised leaving them from the start, so are hopeful)x

Clara is doing ok tonight in her foster home, it's so nice to see Perdi with her head up and the pair of them racing around the garden like lunes! Clara is a little too cat-friendly at the moment, but a warning hiss from Mr Darcy did make her think twice before the chase!! She's so much fun and full of beans, will keep you updated on her progress xx

Clara was reserved but the family have decided not to have her. She is cat friendly and a very bouncy happy girl.

Yey 4 Clara, she's gonna b so much fun 4 the lucky family takin her home. X

What a lovely bouncy girl, and cat-friendly too, such a surprise. Looking forward to seeing her and taking her out on the lead tomorrow :-) x

Clara is so friendly n so much fun. Come see her she'll make a great pet. She's my favorite at the moment along with gypsy, so playful. X

We saw your stand in Solihull on Saturday 11/9/10 and chatted in length with Mary. Looked on your web site and Clara stood out. Will definitely be in touch. My boys will love her as think she's the piece missing in our puzzle.

Wot a stunner, she is so prettyyyyyyyy. x

What a pretty girl - looks lively too!! Hope you find your forever home soon gorgeous!! xx

She is so much fun, full of energy n just wants someone 2 play with. A very lively girl. She will make an excellent member of someone's family. X
