Hi Kaiahsdad, he sounds like he's a very clever boy and knows what he has to do, bless him :) Don't think there will be another addition, can't get another Grey in the car! Deans keeping me in check aswel, he knows I would have another one or foster and where there's a will there's a way! lol. Enjoy your lovely hounds :) Best Wishes to you all.x

Hi Julie, are you thinking of having another one then if a suitable candidate appears? I'm sticking at three, otherwise I'll have to do the walks in relays!

Prior to my adopting him, Hamish was in foster care following his return to the RGT, (initially with Jayne, who is now looking after Fizz, and then with me) as he had been in a home for nearly five years following retirement, so his appearances at Daybreaks were limited, which is why you may have missed him.

He is very well behaved, and anxious not to upset the other residents (Brook and Kaiah) around the house, but on our walks he is quite lively (much more so than Brook who is two years younger) and interested in all that is going on. He loves meeting other greyhounds and lurchers and makes a big fuss of their owners, but is less comfortable around smaller breeds at the moment.

Hi Kaiahsdad, Guinny is fine, good as gold, others are great too. You have a handsome fella there, don't think I ever had the pleasure of seeing him. Hows he getting on? Its been nearly 12 months since we had our last edition, its gone so fast!

Thanks, Julie, I'll soon be catching you up at this rate! And how is the lovely Guinness?

Hi there Kaiahsdad Nice to see your on your third! lol. Have fun....x

Good work Hamish! You certainly seem to have everthing under control....be happy!! xxx

Message from Hamish: "Dear friends, thank you very much for all your kind comments and good wishes. After my first foster Mum Jayne told me that she and her family were going off to Wales for a few weeks, I looked around for a new person to look after me and found him in the kitchen at Daybreaks! Although he had his hands full at the time with my sister-to-be Kaiah and my brother-to-be Brook, I did my best to impress him by being extra friendly and asking for lots of cuddles and treats. Then I had a quiet word with Auntie Ruth and she said I could be fostered by Chris, to see how we all got on.

Well of course, once I'd checked out my new accommodation and found everything to be in order, I spent a lot of time trying hard to please everyone (especially Brook who was a bit unsure of the situation) by eating all my meals on time, sleeping quietly throughout the nights, staying off Kaiah's sofa and Brook's chair, acting as house guard dog when anyone that I didn't know approached the house, and being polite to nearly all the dogs that I met when we were out and about.

Well, it's all paid off and you can see from the photo who's really in charge here....ME!!

Lots of love, Hamish

Congratulations Hamish you are a lovely boy ,i really enjoyed spending time with you , glad you have found you forever family home xxxx :-)

I am so pleased for Hamish, well done lovely boy. I kept thinking about you as you had lived with our Tara and only wished we could have taken you too,
but you now have a lovely new home. Lots of hugs. XXX

What a lovely picture Chris, you all look really happy x

Has Thor got a forever home with his foster parents ???? He looks very at home with his family xxxx

Great news, well done Hamish! xxx

Ah, Thor, I wondered if you would be staying with Chris! Well done, can't wait to meet you when we go for our walks over the fields! (just ignore Penny, she's a lady with attitude!) x

I met Thor (Hamish) at Sutton Park walk today. He is so friendly, nuzzling in for a cuddle. He would make someone a lovely new companion to see out the rest of his years. please someone look at him, he is absolutely lovely!!!!

What a sweet old boy. I love oldies.

I agree, great picture, he looks very comfy! xx

What a lovely picture of him on the settee!.

Good luck Hamish xxx

Thor is a gentle boy who loves fuss, he is still a little shy of new people when we are out and about but treats an cuddles win him round, he has met other breeds and has been fine.

Thor/ Hamish has recoverd well from his trip to the vets, he is now eatting well and loving all the T. L. C

Ooh, I bet he has a sore mouth today; poor lad! I hope he feels better soon. xx

Poor fella had over 20 teeth removed yesterday. I am sure he will be feeling a lot better very soon - a big thank you to Jayne who is looking after him until we can find him a home x

Met this lovely boy with his foster mum yesterday and he is beautiful!! Such a quiet and gentle boy adn he did seem to get more used to the people wandering around and was happy to stand for fuss. I hope he finds his forever home soon.

Thor now Hamish has not missed Tara he did check all the beds but has been fine, he still has my two girls to keep him company. I think he likes the attention as she would push her way in when you were talking to him. This morning we saw a tree rat run across the path he ignored it a cat did the same that was of more interest to him. Hamish can be nervous of people fine if there just passing but if they stop to talk he can back away, the same with other dogs, but i am sure the more we get out and about the more confident he will get.

wow what a gorgeous boy. i'm sure with his looks he wil find a loving home very soon

from chip&pin on the isle of wight

Hope you find a new home soon and don't miss Tara too much xxxxx Maybe you will find a new girlfriend xxxx

Thor is lovely friendly boy he likes to see what is happening out side, any noise he has to check it out.He was unsure last night all strange and new but it did not stop him having his tea. Thor had a big breakfast an early morning walk and has slept the day away he has settled in very well. He gets on well with my two girls .( greys )

Wow, such a stunning boy xxxx
