Oh Kate I am so very sorry to read this sad news. Bobby came to you in very special circumstances and you dedicated yourself to his care and did him very proud indeed. What a miracle dog he was and I’m sure he’s with June and reunited they are smiling together about the compassion of true friends, that’s you and John, Lyra, Skip & Fletch.
Lots of love from Linda, Paul, Lena & Peggy xxxx

So, so sorry Kate x
Wednesday 08 Apr 19:51
So sorry Kate. Bobby was one lucky boy to have you and your family looking after him - that's why he lived so much longer than his diagnosis, he was happy. xxx

Love to you all, Jo and the furry five. Xxxx

We had to let our beautiful Bobby go today. Xxx
He came to us last March after his owner June passed away. He was perfect in every way and an absolute pleasure to look after. Despite being diagnosed with Liver cancer last May and given just a few weeks...he proved to be the most determined and resilient lad ever, earning him the name of Lazarus by John and his friends. :)
He was able to go to Breen for the day with many Greyhound friends, had a holiday with us in Woolacombe, celebrate his twelfth Birthday and enjoy lots of walks with Skip, Lyra and Fletcher. He even found time to get himself a very pretty girlfriend called Gem! Xx
We take comfort in knowing he is now reunited with June who absolutely adored him as he did her. I know she would have been waiting for him at Rainbow Bridge with open arms, together again forever. We are so grateful she let us borrow her wonderful lad for a while. Xx
Dearest sweet Bobby, sending you all our love and more, Kate, John, Skip, Lyra and Fletch. Xxxxxxxxxxx

It's been a year today since we "fostered" Bobby! He is the most amazing lad and it's been an absolute pleasure to have him in our family. He is very wobbly now and he has health issues but ...he is the most determined and resilient lad I have met, a true gentleman! Lots of love to you my sweetheart. Xxx

Well done Bobby. I expect you will be catching up on your sleep this week. Big cuddle for you xx
Monday 23 Sep 23:07
Bobby has just spent the week in Woolacombe with Skip, Fletcher, Lyra and my sisters Greyhound Max. He went on all our walks except one we thought might be too much for him. He has walked on the beach, over the hills and along the costal paths! He is a truly amazing and wonderful lad. Xxx

Happy Birthday to Bobby! He is twelve today. :))
He spent the day at the kennels and was very spoilt..he had a card from his mates and a lovely pilchard cake made by Lucy which her shared with Skip, Ellie, Cello, Millie and manic Murphy! :)) There was enough left for him to bring home for Fletch and Lyra. After lunch he had a stroll up the lane. He also managed to find a bag of doggy donuts in my bag when I left him in the office before going home. He ate all of them! He is now crashed oit on his bed. :)) Sending him all my love and more, he is a very special gentleman. Xxxx
Monday 02 Sep 16:47
Happy birthday for tomorrow Bobby. Sure you'll gets lots of fuss and maybe a treat or two. xxxxx
Saturday 01 Jun 23:38
Bobby had a lovely day at the seaside yesterday :)) Not only did lots of his friends go but his girlfriend Gem came too, so he was more than happy! It was Jess's idea to arrange a day out for him to see the sea :) Bless her. :))
It was great to be able to take Annie and Thena, they have both been waiting so long for their forever homes so it was lovely for them to have a day away from the kennels. :))
The sun came out so we all had a paddle in the sea. :)) It did get very warm but we used the cars for shade. Richard lent Skip his knotted handkerchief to keep his head cool! The only thing they missed out on was an ice cream...the man went home before we could get any!! Maybe next time. Xx
Bobby would like to thank everyone for arranging his day out, he loved it! He sends lots of love to Ruth who isn't feeling too good today. Xxx
Saturday 04 May 23:57
Bobby met up with his lady friend again today. They had a lovely time together in the sand run. They may be senior citizens but they can both run faster than me!!! Xxx
Tuesday 23 Apr 23:12
Thank's Helen! :) Bobby is such a very sweet and lovely boy. :)) Xx
Do hope your Greyhound family are all good. Kate. Xxx
Tuesday 23 Apr 22:05
So sorry Kate I’ve only just seen this, so absolutely over the moon for you all, welcome to the 4 hounds club! Much love Helen, Andy, Peg, Eoin, Roy and Saddle xxxxx
Wednesday 17 Apr 20:54
Bobby spent this afternoon in the garden on a comfy bed. My Mom was next to him on the bench...they both fell asleep in the warm spring sunshine. They looked so peaceful together. Skip, Fletch and Lyra decided it was too hot for them and went inside! Xxx
Saturday 13 Apr 13:41
Bobby is going to be so happy with you Kate xx
Tuesday 09 Apr 22:04
Oh what a beautiful photo! You've landed on your paws now bobby but you so deserve it xxx
Tuesday 09 Apr 21:59
Kate, I’m so happy for you all. Bobby’s previous owner would be over the moon to know he’s safe, happy and loved with you. Some things are just meant to be :) Big hugs for you all. Lots of love Mand, Emily and Gorgeous George xxxx
Tuesday 09 Apr 18:35
Kate, what a fabulous photo of you and Bobby, you look so happy, so lovely to hear that you have taken this boy into your heart and home, he's gorgeous xxxxxxx

Kate, Daisydog and I are just so delighted to hear about your new family member. The oldies are just so precious - it’s a big whoop whoop from the seaside from us both. Xxx
Sunday 07 Apr 22:18
A word of warning from one older gent to another - I have younger siblings to and shockingly today I found Jato on my favourite bed with my favourite blanket and MY monkey - now monkey was mine before Jato or even Breeze moved in they know not to touch I refuse to sleep with out monkey ( under my chin, mostly) so I say to you Bobby snooze on your favourites stopping anybody making off with them. Good luck in your home Archive. X ps mother says you ladies are busy but she has emailed up to date Jato photo ( it’s my monkey) xx
Sunday 07 Apr 21:09

Sunday 07 Apr 15:03
What fabulous news - so happy for you all! Xx
Sunday 07 Apr 12:26
Oh Kate. I am so very happy to read this, what happened to no more than 2 dogs? (I know that that went by the wayside with Lyra). Bobby is one very lucky houndie. xxx
Sunday 07 Apr 11:16
Oh wow!! This is fantastic! So happy for both of you, Kate and Bobby. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful life in your new home Bobby xxx
Sunday 07 Apr 11:10

Saturday 06 Apr 23:39
So pleased this boy has decided to stay with you and yours, Lady V. Xxx
Saturday 06 Apr 23:32
Bobby has decided to stay with us and I am so happy! :)) I wanted to keep him after just a couple of days! We wanted to make sure he would be ok with having three other Greyhounds around, especially Lyra Nightmare and Fletch as they can be very loud and boisterous at times! He is fine with them all. :) I also needed practice at walking four dogs! :)) Bobby is an absolute star, perfect in every way. He loves to potter around the garden. I know in his previous home this was one of his favourite things to do; he liked to help June's gardener with his tasks. :) Hopefully when the weather gets warmer he will be able to spend more time outside. I love him! Xxx
Saturday 30 Mar 23:17
Bobby accompanied Lyra and I to the kennels today. He had a lovely time in the sand run. He met a very sweet, pretty lady about his age and it was love at first sight! It was wonderful to see them running around together. Meanwhile Lyra was busy stealing Louis 's ball at every opportunity and getting sand all over her face. :) The sand run is great place to let your dog have a race around, especially now the warmer weather is here. Bobby has slept most of the evening, probably dreaming about his girlfriend! :))) Xxx
Monday 25 Mar 19:48
Lovely to see this beautiful boy has been fostered, big hugs Bobby xxxxx
Sunday 24 Mar 22:02
On no, poor Bobby and his new mum, hope somebody offers this old gentleman a home soon xxxxx
Sunday 24 Mar 21:10
Ah poor bobby and poor bobbys new mom, hope all are ok xxx
Sunday 24 Mar 21:07
Sadly Bobby is no longer Reserved. Unfortunately his new Mom fell over at home last week and had to go to hospital. Thankfully she didn't break anything but will be in hospital for a while. She feels it is best for Bobby to come back to the Trust. We wish her a speedy recovery and thank her for offering Bobby a home with her. Many thanks to Jill and Paul for collecting him today and dropping him at the kennels....After eating all his tea and going for a walk with Skip and Fletch he is now curled up in the bed by the radiator in our lounge! Xxx
Wednesday 27 Feb 21:38
Another cuddle for Bobby :)) Xxx
Wednesday 27 Feb 21:12
Fingers crossed for bobby! Xxx
Wednesday 27 Feb 19:33
I took Bobby to his new home yesterday. I spoke to his new mum earlier and he has settled really well.
Wednesday 27 Feb 18:51
Any update on the lovely Bobby? Has he gone to his new family? X
Sunday 24 Feb 22:21
A big cuddle for Bobby tonight. We have had the pleasure of his company for the weekend. He is the most adorable boy, no trouble whatsoever he settled so well seems like he has been here a lot longer than a couple of days. :)) Got on great with my three, although Lyra was a very sulky girl when he first arrived...all changed today when he wanted to play, bouncing around with bottom in the air! She loves to play so she was more than happy to chase him! :)) Fletcher took it on himself to look after Bobby and stayed close to him on walks. Xx My sister came over this afternoon with her lad Max so we had five Greyhounds strolling around the garden enjoying the sunshine. He is back with Ruth tomorrow ready to go out with hopefully his new family on Tuesday. We will miss this lovely gentleman so much...Xxx
Sunday 24 Feb 18:30
Such wonderful news for Bobby, he is such a lovely boy, I do hope that this works out. He is an amazing boy. Xx
Sunday 24 Feb 17:57
We are delighted for you. As Auntie Ruth says, you have had a whirlwind of a time over the past werk but have coped admirably and without complaint. Yoyr Mum would be so very, very proud of you and I have no doubt will be watching with relief that you will enjoy a comfortable and loving home again. I hope your 'trial' period goes well and that it will be all that you want for yourself. A massive thank you to whoever is giving you this opportunity. Xx
Sunday 24 Feb 16:58
Oh my handsome boy how lovely for you. Keeping everything crossed that it works out for you, you are so beautiful.xx
Saturday 23 Feb 19:27
So pleased for you Bobby - hope everything goes well for you. xx
Saturday 23 Feb 18:52
Oh bobby how wonderful for you! Im sure your dear mom will be over the moon and watching you carefully from above xxx
Saturday 23 Feb 15:40
Fantastic news
Saturday 23 Feb 14:52
So happy to see this old gentleman reserved, wonderful news xxx
Saturday 23 Feb 12:56
Oh Bobby this is wonderful news! You get my cuddle today so pleased you’re reserved.
Saturday 23 Feb 07:49
I am desperate for someone to offer a home to Bobby. Last week his owner very sadly passed away and I brought him home with me. He has had a whirlwind of a week with going backwards and forwards to the kennels with me, in and out of vehicles and living with Tigger pup zooming around. He has taken everything in his stride but this fella is used to a gentle quiet life and I this is what an elderly boy needs. He is clean in the house, gentle on the lead and very affectionate. If you are interested or would like more information please call the kennels on 0121 782 7702. x
Monday 18 Feb 23:27
Bobby spent the day in the office today. We had to hide the biscuits from him! It was lovely to see him again, but such sad circumstances. Xx He is a very friendly lad and loves everyone. Xxx
Monday 18 Feb 15:58
Hi Scootergirl. I am so very sorry for the loss of your lovely Auntie June, she will be very sadly missed. Please take comfort in the fact that Bobby will be so very well taken care of whilst he is with us. He is a lovely boy and hopefully some kind hearted family will offer him a home very soon. Jo xxx
Monday 18 Feb 14:20
Hi everyone my name is Sam and June was my aunty I want to say thank you for all your kind words. I know that they loved each other so much. Bobby was a massive apart of June's life. Xx
Sunday 17 Feb 18:07
Thanks to everyone who has called and ask how Bobby is. He spent the day in the office with Momma Lisa and pup Tig, I didn't know he was there, he was such a good boy :)))
Sunday 17 Feb 10:26
So very sorry to hear about Bobby's mum but glad that Bobby is safely with Ruth and Andy and, by the sound of it, making himself at home! Xx
Sunday 17 Feb 10:13
So pleased Bobby had a settled night, such a sad time for him. June loved her boy so much and he adored her xxx
Sunday 17 Feb 09:24
Bobby I’m glad you are ok. I am thinking of you today! You get my cuddle. Xx
Sunday 17 Feb 07:30
Bobby has had an amazing night.... he slept well apart from when he found my work bag which had got the broken big bone biscuits I’d brought home for Tig and Lisa! The whole lounge was covered in crumbs so I can declare he doesn’t hoover!!!! He seemed very pleased with himself with lots of tail wagging! Once I’d got all the crumbs from my bare feet he toileted outside and happily went back to bed... it was quite strange that the candle we lit for his owner was still alight when I got up for him but had gone out by the time I came back to bed.... I’m sure his mum was happy he was ok x
Saturday 16 Feb 23:33
This is just so sad, thinking of Bobby tonight bless him xx
Saturday 16 Feb 23:26
Like Jetlucy, shedding a tear. What a sad situation especially as Bobby goes towards his twilight years. This situation will arise for many of us I guess as we age or sadly fall ill. I absolutely dread the thought of not having a dog in very old age but I also dread the thought of leaving one behind. My thoughts go out to any family this lady might have and I pray Bobby wont succumb to a broken heart. Remember Greyfriars Bobby for those of us from a certain generation who will have read the book. Thank God when ex residents find themselves in this situation they can at least come back to the love and care of Daybreaks. A small comfort for them in their hour of confusion and sadness but nevertheless a comfort. It is all just so very sad.
Saturday 16 Feb 22:16
So sad. Xxx
Saturday 16 Feb 21:57
Oh no Bobby you poor little poppet. My heart goes out to you you must be so sad and confused. God bless your owner. Thinking of you in tears reading this xxx
Saturday 16 Feb 21:19
So very sad Bobby has lost his Mom. June adored him and he adored her. :( Xxx
Saturday 16 Feb 20:18
It was with great sadness I received a call late this afternoon to tell me Bobby’s owner had passed away.
I have therefore been to collect Bobby and thankfully he is not too stressed and has settled well at our house.
Many of us at the kennels knew his owner and we are all deeply upset.... she was a fabulous character!
Bobby - we will light a candle for your mum tonight.... she loved you so much xxx
Thursday 10 Apr 22:28
So glad he's found the right home. :-) x
Thursday 10 Apr 20:34
Wishing Bobby a very happy new life. Xxx

Love to you The New Icemaid Clan xxx
Wednesday 19 Mar 09:37
My prayers I think have been answered! I took Bobby V out to a home yesterday on trial and I have just spoken to his new owner who tells me he is doing really well and 'just perfect' which we already know! He is going to stay on trial for a bit longer just to make sure but I think he is there to stay! :-)
Monday 17 Mar 09:44
Gorgeous Bobby V - please someone, give this fabulous boy a home. He didn't even pull on his lead when a squirrel ran in front of him on his walk this morning! He is totally house trained and would like a nice quiet home where he can eat, sleep, roach, repeat!
Friday 14 Mar 19:33
can i just say what a lovely lovely boy bobby is- i had the pleasure of meeting him first on wednesday and again today he came up and showered me with kisses and he is so sweet -i have no doubt in my mind that the right home for him is out there and until then he looks very settled on ruth,s window seat xxx
Thursday 13 Mar 21:29
Bobby spent a while on the window seat this afternoon watching everything that was going on in the park! He is a fabulous boy - I hope he can find his own forever home very soon.....
Thursday 13 Mar 08:08
When we have a returnee I am always asked why they have been returned. I am really hoping that my comment does not cause any upset to his owners if they read this but just hope that this will help Bobby find the right home and help avoid future incidents happening with any of the dogs we rehome.
I have had Bobby at home with me since he was returned to the Trust on Monday. Unfortunately he bit his owner quite badly resulting in the owner having to have surgery. This occurred whilst Bobby was on his bed.
It is a horrific and awful thing for the owner to experience and they are upset at returning Bobby who has been with them for 3 years.
Bobby has also bitten other family members on other occasions - usually whilst on his bed but on other occasions when frightened by a football and tennis raquet in the garden and also once when trodden on.
He has been absolutely golden at our house and we are just taking care to not disturb him on his bed or when he is asleep. This is something I endorse with every dog of every breed - they need to feel safe and unfortunately the only way they can tell us they are feeling threatened, frightened or unhappy is to growl or bite.
He is totally clean in the house, been great with all of our greys and good with other breeds. I feel he would be best suited to a home with just adults that ensure he has strict boundaries. We have a crate up in our front room for our post ops to go in and he has taken himself into the crate to sleep a few times so I could lend a crate to a new family if it helped. He also likes to take himself upstairs so likes his own quiet space.
It is a terrible thing that has happened to this family but equally sad for Bobby who has lost his home :-( If anyone needs any information about Bobby, please give me a call.
Wednesday 12 Mar 20:15
What a lovely boy so chilled xxx
Monday 10 Mar 21:54
What about Lizzie there other grey? X
Monday 10 Mar 20:36
So sorry for Bobby and his family. Xxx
Monday 10 Mar 16:10
Due to certain events and circumstances Bobby's family are unable to keep him.
Thursday 24 Nov 17:40
We are all naive when we first have our Greys and 4 Greys and 2 years down the line we are still learning!
Thursday 24 Nov 13:32
Thanks for the comments they have set my mind at ease knowing that Bob's behaviour isn't any different from other greys. We are still learning and have been rather naive.
Thursday 24 Nov 08:00
The other problem is that children sound very different to adults and they move more quickly so if a dog hasn't been used to children they can be scarey :( With time and patience and respect for the dog that usually changes and kids and dogs get along fine :) Have a look on the Kennel Club website for their 'safe and sound' which is an interactive game to show kids and adults how to interact with dogs safely and full of great advice.
I love 'growling' it warns me that the dog isn't ok with what's going on and I need to do something before the dog needs to 'shout'. J x
Wednesday 23 Nov 19:59
When we first rehomed our hound, she was not sure about the children and we had a few instances of growling at them when they gave her too much attention. Such a shame as all they wanted to do was love her! We were advised to make sure that she understood that she was below them in the pack hierarchy, so we have encouraged them to feed her. This has worked well and we don't have problems, but I don't think she'll ever be a cuddle monster, it's just not in her nature.
Wednesday 23 Nov 14:18
How wonderful that Bob is back with you.
We have an eight year old, and I've encouraged him to feed Chewey regularly and give him treats etc. He's also been told that when Chewey is asleep he is never to approach him.
Even with this Chewey is less interested in him than he is with us...
Not sure whether this will help or not!
Wednesday 23 Nov 13:35
You obviously love him very much, I am sure you can all make it work. Please give him a hug from me. Kind regards. xxx
Wednesday 23 Nov 13:08
Hi, will give you a call later this afternoon. Jill x
Wednesday 23 Nov 12:30
Thank you for your positive comments. We made the wrong decision to send Bob back and we could have lost him forever if someone had turned up and given him a home. After the incident we felt that he would be happier in a quieter home. He has never really been that fussed for the children, which I can quite understand! He sniffs them and puts up with their fuss but not like with us, his Mum and Dad who could do anything to him and he wouldn't mind. Any ideas to encourage this bond with the kids would be welcomed. We had a terrible weekend without him, and felt very guilty that because one of our children decided to invade his peace, we punished Bob! Thank God nobody wanted him that weekend because I would have suffered a broken heart. He is my quiet, lazy baby and I wouldn't change him. We are thinking that maybe a pal would help Bob to be less nervous, he loves being with other dogs and we sometimes feel he is lonely of his own kind. Although getting a second is rather daunting, more so than deciding to get a dog in the first place.
Monday 21 Nov 18:41
...and if there is anything any of us can do to help then please contact the kennels as we all want the very best for our babies and are only too happy to help...good luck lovely Bobby, so happy for you. xxxx
Monday 21 Nov 14:14
I do hope everything works out for you all. xxx
Monday 21 Nov 12:36
Best wishes and love to Bobby, and hope they can all work through any problems xxxx
Sunday 20 Nov 22:20
Awww a happy ending :) xxx
Sunday 20 Nov 19:52
Bobby's family contacted me today and told me they had made a big mistake returning him as they were missing him so much. They realised it was not Bobby's fault and asked if they could take him back..... I took him home and his dad collected him from our house - it was so clear to see that Bobby was over the moon seeing his Dad again and I hope all works out....
Saturday 19 Nov 18:52
oh no Bobby how very sad for you and for your family....it's a very generous thing to do to put your wellbeing first and shows just how much they must love you, you are a stunner and such a good boy i am sure we shall find a home for you soon....lots of love xxxxx
Saturday 19 Nov 17:53
Wish we had room for you lovely boy xxxxxx I've been told that you are cat friendly and other breed hound friendly too, all good stuff for a new home xxxxxx
Saturday 19 Nov 13:02
Must have been a very difficult but brave decision to make. Given all the positives I am sure this boy will be in a new home in no time.

We met Bobby and his family when they first had him and obviously loved him to pieces. He had an amazing waggy tail and happy face. Its sad it hasn't worked out for them all and my heart goes out to Bobby and his family xxxx Really hope he is homed asap, at least he is house trained etc and that should help xxxx

The gorgeous Bobby has been returned today. Bobby is house trained, gentle, cat friendly and very handsome boy. The family returning him are very upset because their children are too young to be able to give him the space and respect he needs. This is not Bobby's fault but because of this, he would now be suited to a home with older children. Please don't judge his family who have returned him because they are doing this to try and do the best for Bobby and they are very upset. We hope we can find him a home as soon as possible.

Well Bobby has been a very good boy overnight, slept all night with no accidents. He got up close and personal with the cats this morning and was absolutely fine. What a star! He is an absolute credit to his trainer.

The gorgeous Bobby is at home with me tonight as he is coming to Webbs tomorrow to show everyone how beautiful he is, and hopefully find a forever home, so far he has met my 3 non greys, as well as my 6 greys, 5 chickens and 3 cats, so far so good. We have only had 1 accident and he has had a run around the garden, photos to follow. He is such a happy boy and will be a fabulous pet.

This boy is the happiest greyhound i've ever met, his tail never stops wagging (even the vet can't make it stop). He love people and other greys, he always had a girlfriend and likes to cuddle next to them. He can make a you smile even on a sad day. He gives kisses and love for free x x x x

Just catching up on the Daybreaks news and am heartbroken to hear about Bobby. Such a lovely boy. You gave him such a wonderful life after June passed away. He'll now be at Rainbow Bridge with June, my beautiful Bert and all our boys and girls we miss so badly. Run free beautiful boy. x
