So sorry to read about Lucy, bless her. What a lovely character and so vocal. We really enjoyed her staying with us before Beryl kindly gave her a loving home. What a shame she didn’t have longer there. Bye Lucy.

Beautiful Lucy - I cried many tears for you - I am so glad we were able to help you have a wonderful time for the short time you were a Daybreaks girl..... thank you to wonderful Jayne for giving her a holiday and to Beryl and Rog for giving her a wonderful home - I am just so sad she did not have longer.

Sleep tight lovely Lucy. My thoughts are also with your family who must be missing you a great deal. It does sound like you all had a lovely time together. Lots of love from Linda and the girls (Lola & Lena) xxx

Night night little Lucy, god bless you sweetheart, run free sending lots of love to your family xxxx

So sorry to hear the sad news. Thank you for giving her a lovely home. God bless Lucy xxx

Oh Beryl, so sorry to hear this, you gave her so much love in the time she lived with you, sending you lots of love, I'll ring you soon xxxx

It is with great sadness that we have today said goodbye to Lucy. The cancer had spread to her lungs and was beginning to take its toll on her. We have so enjoyed looking after these past few months - a great character with a love of life and so loving. I wish we could have had more time with her, loved her so much. We'll never forget our lovely, loving Lucy. Sleep tight little one.

Beryl

So happy for you Beryl (the peril..lol...I like it!) you look good together in the picture. Since moving house I haven't got your 'phone number, but if you can pass it onto Joe or my Mum, I'll give you a ring and have a natter! Big hugs to you all xxxx

Thanks to all for the good wishes. Lucy has settled in really well, gets on with the other 3, eats like a horse, 'talks' a lot which is hilarious and seems happy here. We all love her to bits and hope she will be with us for a long, long time.

Beautiful Lucy, wishing you lots of happy times with you new family. xx

Lovely to have spoken to you yesterday.
Lucy will have a great life & give great pleasure.

Grateful thanks go to wonderful Jane who has offered to take Lucy to Wales for a couple of weeks. Jane picked her up from the kennels this afternoon and has emailed me to say she has had a walk and a treat and is now fast asleep!

I come on daybreaks alot just to see hw the dogs get on.I have a lurcher n a staffie cross both who are rescue dogs,I wish that one day my husband will agree to another grey,nothing would make me more happier but seeing poor Lucy n Tia n Mido is breaking my heart :( hope they find there forever home real soon.....p.s I think its amazing all the hard work you all do at the kennels!!!! : )

...and if she is still at the kennels in may she can come with us to Pembrokeshire for our holiday as well, thought about it this week but i am somehow hoping that she may have got a home by then :-) xxx have a great time beautiful little lady. xxxx

How lovely! I am sure she will have a fantastic time. xxx

Lucy has had the offer of going to Wales for a couple of weeks on holiday! I think she will have a great time - she is such a sweet girl x

Poor Lucy, wish I could take you home. xxx

My 13 year old brindle Betsy had exactly the same thing last year and she is still loving life. Hopefully beautiful Lucy will be the same and continue to enjoy her retirement for a long time yet. Big hugs xxxx

So sorry to hear this. Big hugs for little Lucy. Hope she finds a special home soon. xxxx

oh this is such sad news, hope you find a loving home soon lucy.xx

Dear little Lucy, you get my cuddle today. You are such a little sweetie, I only wish I had more room and money as I would whisk you and Fudge away in a heartbeat! Em xxx

Poor baby. I really really hope someone will give this beautiful girl the home she so very much deserves, for however long it may be. Xxxx

i feel like my heart is breaking as she is such a sweet little girl with so much love to give, i spent ages today brushing her and she loved the attention and leant right into me and every time i stopped she nudged me to continue. she is very loving and deserves to be loved so much, i really wish i had more money and then she could come with me and the boys. love you Lucy. xxx

So gutted 4 her, she is such a sweet girl. I wish I cud take her. Hopefully someone's gonna giv her a great home 4 the rest of her life, she so deserves it. x

Sadly Lucy's results came back that the mammary tumour removed was cancerous. The vets took away as much as they could and she could still have a while in front of her so I hope so much someone will give her a home for the last and most needy part of her life.

I met Lucy when she came with Rob on the stand in Mell Square on Saturday. She was so beautiful and well behaved and just loved snuggling into Rob. I hope all is well after the check up.

Lucy is going for her check up today at the vets following her op last week. She is doing really well and is such a happy girl. She loves to be cuddled on your lap and is so sweet.

Met Lucy tonight, wow what a beauty, please someone come forward and adopt her or I will have to make room for number 7 !

Thanks for the answer to my question Wispa's mum, had my greyhound for 2 years now and still learning about the work you lovely people do.

Hi Mutty22jaf, Lucy was homed by a member of the syndicate who owned her as a racer and therefore wasn't homed through the RGT. This is why she wasn't speyed already.

In answer to annie - mammory tumours are common in females who haven't been speyed and this is one of the reasons (other than unwanted pregnancies) that they are neutered before homing.

Why was Lucy not speyed when previously rehomed? just curious. Get well soon.

what kind of tumor is that wispa's mom sorry if i seem thick is it treatable get well soon lucy your in good hands

What an absolute sweetheart! Hope she is feeling better today. I don't suppose she is looking for a foster home, is she? *balaclava on head*

Get well soon lovely! x

Lucy had the mammary tumour removed yesterday, was speyed and had a few teeth out. She is a bit brighter today and ate her breakfast and has settled well.

I hope that Lucy is ok, I feel very sorry that she has been returned especially at age of 11. I do hope that she can be rehomed and enjoy the rest of her retirement.

Best wishes

awww shes lovelyyyy. lovely little tail aswell. cant believe shes 11, she doesnt look it on the photos. cuddles xxxxxx

Hope it was good news for Lucy today, fingers crossed x

oh no another shorttail, my boys are shorties and she does look so very sweet ...wonder whether my hubby would be very mad if i'd sneak her in?! xxxx

What a shame, I do hope she will be ok and she will find a lovely hime to go to. Ruth, I think your next fund raising event should be how many greyhounds you and Rob can fit in your house for the night! Kate xx

Keeping everything crossed for little Lucy - she looks a real sweetheart !x

Lucy has been really good all night - she can go up stairs and slept all night. I am going to take her to the vets today and see if they can operate instead of tomorrow as planned as I am really concerned about the lump on her tum. Will keep you posted. She is very affectionate and really small - possibly only about 21kg. The photo shows how short her little tail is....

i hope this lump isnt anything bad.... and i cant wait to see a photo either. must be even more fun at yours ruth with all these greys haha lots of love xxx

Erm so we had better keep little Jo then ?? Hotel Boswell all full up but Hotel Rowswell has room 4 a little one ! x x x

the lucky number 13...nothing unusual there in the Boswell home. LOL. :-) , poor little Lucy to have to leave her family after all this time, i love the oldies, can't wait to see a photo. keep fingers crossed about this lump on her tummy. xxxx

Feel better soon Lucy! Sounds like you're being looked after by all the gang. xx

Poor thing so many returned dogs it is heartbreaking.
keeping our fingers crossed Lucy will be OK.
Ruth perhaps you should close the kennels and let them all move in with you!!
feeding time must be interesting and I hope they all dont try and jump on your bed at the same time.

I have just checked Lucy all over and unfortunately I have found quite a large tumour on her tummy. Fingers crossed it is nothing to worry about.....

I have my 6 greys here, 2 holiday greys, post op Darcy and Zoe's 3 greys here this evening..... ummm... with Lucy that makes 13!!!!! She has curled up with all of them in turn.... she is such a poppet!
