My Lucy has been gone a month now and the house is so quiet without her. She really was lively right until the end bless her. Even at the age of 11 she never ever calmed down. She is now running free with her angel brother charlie ??

So very sorry, thinking of you. Run free little Lucy. xx

Fiona, so very sad to hear you have lost your beautiful Princess Lucy. God Bless his newest Angel. Lots of love Kate, Twiggy and Skip. Xxx

Hi Fi. Having taken Lucy to the dog show in October we did find it hard to understand why this beautiful girl hadn't been chosen, but now she has you and we are so very pleased for you all. We will keep everything crossed that the tumours stay dormant as you all deserve to have many happy years together. Linda, Paul, Lola & Lena xxxxx

Sooo happy for you Lucy and Fi. The best pairing I would say. I have been praying she would end up with you Fi. Coming from her once foster mummy, Lucy is not only a princess but an ANGEL. Love you Lil Lucy! Fiona, my offer still stays if you need someone to look after Lucy if in case you are going on a holiday or needing a break. She is always welcome here. xxx

Huge love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My Beautiful Lucy went to the vets yesterday and i was told she has 3 milignant mammary tumors, the vets is happy to leave them as they are at the moment as attempting to remove them could cause them to spread, he will be monitoring them for growth every few weeks but feels they do not look too active. will keep you updated but at the moment she is a happy waggy little girl! xxxxx

Yay!! Well done Lucy and Fi :D xx

How's Lucy getting on Fiona?

aww. Lucy is a really wonderful dog. xxxx

Words cannot express how I am going to miss this beautiful wonderful angel. Lucy has given me more than I have given her. It's been a pleasure and such memorable moments fostering this girl. All the best my Li'l Lucy, love you loads. --- Myrna

hi nutellajar lucy is amazing. she is very small and sweet, fiona (fi+charlie+fly) knows how lovely she is and is going to pick her up on Thursday (i think) to start fostering her until she can find a new home...

gave her my cuddle 2day as promised! how lovely is she?! xxx

Hey nutellajar, you have good taste, she is a princess!! xxxx

luv last picture. real puppy dog eyes! xxxx

hi normally i don't really favour the greys with white parts but Lucy is really beautiful. already given away my hug 2day but definetly giving her mine tomorrow! xxxxxx

To me this little angel is perfect. xxxx

Twiggy is bouncy too.....she and Lucy have the same Dad so I guess that is where they get their bounce from! I wouldn't have her any other way! xxx

I love the bones of this little angel, i have told everyone who will listen what a poppet she is! It sa shame with the bouncy ones people cant see what a different girl she is away from kennels. She is an absolute gem! xxx

Hope your dream comes true! It's obvious you love her to bits. xxx

If i had my way.... Yep! xxx

So that's Lucy in a new home then Fi?

She is coming at easter till she finds a new home ;o) xxxx

Hi Fi, is Lucy just staying for Easter or might it be for longer?! x

Beautiful Lucy came to stay this weekend, have to say she is barely recognisable as the same bouncy girl when you have her in a home and not in a kennel.. she is a loving, quiet girl, sleeps all through the night, lets you know when she wants wee wees.. pretty damn perfect id say! cant wait till Easter when she is coming to stay. Love love love this baby girl! xxxx

I cant tell you how much i love this girl!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello beautiful girl, i miss your little face lt and lots, charlie and Fly send you loves and licks xxxxxxxxxx

Happy birthday little one! My birthday wish for you is you finally get your forever loving home soon. Love you sweetie! xxx

Happy birthday Lucy, you will have a for ever home very soon ,

Happy birthday!!! Love you have the best day ever xxx

Saw a few lovely videos on youtube of Lucy, made by her foster mom, couldn't resist putting them on facebook and getting people to share it to show everyone how lovely, clever and beautiful she is!! Hope your home comes soon Lucy!! xxxxxxx

It is this most beautiful girls birthday tomorrow, i will be thinking about you little lady! I have got you something pretty to wear for your birthday, but its a surprise so you can have it when i see you! xxxxxxxxxxx

I have loved seeing Lucy's YouTube clips of her training she is doing so well,a very clever dog.well done Lucy (and well don't foster carer) I hope all this helps you find a forever home soon you deserve it,good luck and keep up the good work x

This little girl is ready for her forever home. We are on our third week of foster care, Lucy has blended well with my family and my other greyhounds. She showed that if you are willing to give her time to adjust and teach her what to do, she is like a sponge absorbing what you teach her and the bonus is, she will give you the trust and love whole-heartedly. I love this girl. Given a different circumstance, I'll adopt her. Loving sweet little girl - that's Lucy. X

The most beautiful little lady xxxxxx

Lucy will be coming to the end of her foster home in a couple of weeks, she is now house trained, and has proven to be the little gem i always new she was! The hardwork has been done with this little darling. She needs her forever home now! xxxx

Lucy Lucy Lucy xxxx You and Arty sooo need that forever sofa xxxx

Little lucy has proven she is a perfect little house mate, and so very responsive to training, there must be someone out there who would like to meet a playful, beautiful, loving little girl??!! She really is a different girl away from the kennels. someone please give her a chance of a home for life, she deserves it! She truly is a little princess! xxxxx

Thats cos she is an angel!! i love u little lucy. xxxxx

Gotta love this girl! I fell asleep watching tv on the sofa and when i woke up Lucy was all curled up snuggled at my feet sleeping. Aaaw bless her! XXX

Lucy chased a squirrel with the boys in the back garden. She is beginning to eat at a slower rate as well and is taking more time enjoying her food. Lucy perfected the art of waiting to be called for meals. I am so proud of this little girl. Smart and so lovable!

Lucy is enjoying herself so far. On our walkies, we walked past a pug. Lucy showed interest but more like curiosity than aggression. Lucy and my two greyhounds seemed to match in temperament as they seemed not bothered with her lively personality. They also allowed her in their beds with them from time to time. She is clean and knows when to do her "business". She is basically a quiet girl but alert and gets excited when stimulated by fast movements (like when someone runs). So far, she hasn't given me any trouble at all since we got her last Sunday. The best way to exhaust her excess energy is either to give her a long walk or two 20 minute walks a day. Once knackered, like any other greyhounds, she is sleeping quietly in her bed all through the day/night. Couch potato through and through.
Please give Lucy a chance to have a forever family to love and look after her. She is a very sweet girl with lively personality. How I wish I could have Lucy permanently but we are just renting our house. Our landlord is kind enough to allow us to adopt 2 greyhounds. We wouldn't want to rock the boat with another one.
Take a chance with Lucy and like we all discovered in greyhounds, the return is priceless.

So good to see she has a foster home. xxx

Lucy update: Lucy and my two greyhounds got on well the moment she arrived at our house. As any new dog in a house, she wanders around the house and garden checking things out. After a few minutes, she made herself totally at home with us. There were a few instances of panting which I am expecting since she is on unfamiliar grounds but that quickly went away as soon as we scratch her ears. She has calmed down and went to sleep.
I have trained my two greyhounds (both boys) to wait just outside my kitchen door whilst fixing their meals. They would sit calmly and wait to be called to eat their dinner. I started training Lucy just to wait outside the kitchen door (without the sitting command yet but I'll try in time) and after several practice and treats (worked on her as she loves her food), she finally got it! I am quite surprised how fast she learned it. Now she knows one routine that every dog in my house must follow that is to wait patiently for their meal. She is a lively girl but I think the person who would adopt her must teach Lucy a set routine. She clearly demonstrated to me that she is bright, willing if guided, and could do more if you just spend some time teaching her how.
She is a sweetheart. She slept well the whole night and didn't give us any trouble at all. I've just given their brekkie, I am so pleased she practice what she learned yesterday of waiting patiently for her food by the kitchen door. Well done, Luce!
Ruth - no worries. Brian and I are forever grateful to you, Rob and Daybreaks. Our way of saying thank you and to be able to help as much as we can with these wonderful gifts from heaven called greyhounds. Will keep you posted. XXX - Myrna

I am very grateful to Myrna and Brian for fostering Lucy to give her a break as she is our longest female stayer at Daybreaks. She is a happy lively girl who just brings a smile to your face x

Miss u baby girl....i hope u r happy. i wish things were different xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Glad she has a foster home to go to for now xxxx

So pleased to see lively Lucy has been fostered

Maybe Lucy will be better as an only child? But now that she's house trained maybe that will help you get a new home quicker, I really hope so see you soon
Love you xx

oh Lucy you are just a big baby and don't understand that not everyone wants to play all of the time...bit like my Rossi....you're day will come Princess....see you tomorrow. xxxx

Poor baby girl, never mind we will continue to find you a forever home, lots of hugs xxxxx

my lovely baby... i will give u the biggest cuddle you ever had on sunday xxxxxxx

Poor Lucy, back to square one, hope it doesnt take as long for you to find a new home this time. xxx

so sad for you lucy I am sure the right home is out there

So sorry for Lucy, but hopefully she is now house trained and may find a home more easily ?? xxxx Hope Doc stays settled xxxx

Oh Lucy, that's a shame. She reminds me so much of my Twiggy....Well she is her half sister, she would have driven Doc mad too! Better luck next time lovely girl, I am sure there is a home out there for you. xxxxx

Sadly Lucy is being returned tomorrow as Doc has started reacting adversely to her as she is so playful/lively.

Brilliant to hear Lucy and Doc have been re-homed together. Wishing you all lots of happiness. xxx

WHAT SUPER NEWS!!! Doc & Lucy have found a home together:) They were so happy together in the kennels & now they have found a home together!!! Make me really happy to see this:)) xx

Hope you settle in quickly xxxxx

So happy to see Lucy has finally captured the hearts of someone she deserves a fantastic forever home,we met her back in October and I have followed her progress on here ever since as she captured my heart,so I was thrilled when I saw her reserved.good luck Lucy and ur new family xx (all the best from ur old friend Ben)

good luck lucy in your forever home xxxxxxxxxxxx

Good luck Lucy!

Yes yes my baby has been reserved! Woohoooo

This has just cheered me up so much in what has otherwise been a rubbish day at the office......
I am so incredibly stupendously pleased that Lucy has been reserved. Fingers and everything else crossed. xxxx

Great news, your new home has arrived.

Love The New Icemaid Clan x

Lucy, i am soo happy to see that you have finally captured someone's heart, wishing you the very bestest retirement home and softest sofa ever...will come and see you tomorrow and say good bye to you. xxxx

Amazing news Lucy xxxxx We are soooo pleased for you xxxx enjoy your retirement little girl and be happy xxxxx ps hope your mouth gets better soon xxxxxx

Well done Lucy. Good things come to those who wait! xxx

What brilliant news! Will keep everything crossed for you Lucy. xxxxxx

Yeah!!!! Well done gorgeous girl.

My beautiful beatiful girl i am so happy you have finally been chosen, i love you to bits and will miss you terribly! I hope it works out for you! there is always a place in my heart for you, im just so sad i couldnt offer you a place in my home. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh darling girl, your forever home is out there, hope they come soon xxx

Lucy had one tooth out on Thursday and has got to go back again next week for another injection to help her infected gums. On arrival back at the kennels following her op, she was just as she usually is - happy, bouncy and glad to see Doc her kennel mate who she adores!

I hope all went well with Lucy's dental treatment at the vets today. xxx

Lucy Lucy Lucy xxxx you shoud be in a home xxxx

Also the dogs in the kennels behave so differently in a home, dont overlook an excitable dog, I chose the one which was barking, chewing his kennel, crying all day and absolutely huge! and i havent looked back since, he is a perfect gentleman in the house, no barking, only dries to go to the toilet. He is affectionate and all he wanted was a home of his own. He hasnt chewed a thing since the day we bought him home.. all he ever wanted was a home and someone to love him xxxx

Ruth is a wise old sage! looks can be deceptive as with humans!.You need to look at a dog which fits in with your household and circumstances the best for everyones safety and sometimes looks whilst important shouldn't be the first priority.
Also beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!

Hi EmmajaneK - Lucy is a very loving girl and great with children but can get excited and sometimes leaps around when it is feeding time! Why don't you come and meet her and the other greys and see what you think? x

Hi, I wanted to know if Lucy is good around children, especiall.y small ones. I have two children 3 and 15 months and would dearly love to give a Greyhound a loving home.
Lucy ooks beautiful and i can't believe she has'nt got a home yet. Look forward to hearing from you. Emma - Shropshire

I hope you are a good girl tomorrow when Steves lovely family come to see you, i love you to bits little girl xxxxxxxx

Cant stop thinking about u little one! xxxxxxxx

i love this liitle girl so wish i could take her home!!!!!!!!

Lucy is such a cute little girl and i really don't understand how she has not got her own sofa yet, please someone come and see her and find out all about her....she so needs a home of her own now...xxx

Lucy was fabulous at the training session, and she only really gets upset when she gets barked at, she is a lovely, lively little girl and loves a fuss. i wish i could take her! xxxxxxxxx

Lucy has been there such a long time, I hope this doesn't put people off considering her. We have met her a few times on visits to the knnels and is always friendly and waggy and seems fine with my kids xxxxx

Lucy was a.little star tday wen we took her t solihul riding school t learn about dog behaviour. She behaved really well. She was good with all the other dogs even met a jack Russell n just sniffed him before backing off wen he had a little snap at her. She is so loving n with the right owners who could work on socialization even more she will make a fantastic pet. Please someone come n spend some time with her n u will fall in love. Well done Lucy. X

Hi 'MerlinsMum' sadly Lucy does have a problem with cats

every time i look on this site i see Lucy. I thought she would have a new home by now. Does Lucy have any issues with cats? If not, I'll be very interested in this little lady.

So many lovely hounds looking for a home at the moment. I am giving my cuddle today to Lucy having been there so long.

Having received the latest newsletter with Lucy in it along with Rocky and Arty I think, I really hope she will find a home soon.

You get my cuddle again today my lovely, lets hope the special appeal will bring your forever home quickly. Will come and have a snug tomorrow.x

i get so sad every time i go to the kennels and go by lucy's kennel becuse there she is.................... somone if your gonna get a greyhound THINK about lucy shes so sweet quite a petit girly and is a very happy go lucky girl!!! i want her so bad but cant as we already have a dog and my dad dont want another! :-(

Lucy shares the same Dad as my beautiful girl Twiggy; if she is anything like her then whoever does finally adopt her will have a wonderful, fantastic, brilliant, loving companion and friend!! Happy Chirstmas lovely Lucy xxxxx

Was really hoping you would have your forever home for christmas xxxxx I know everyone at daybreaks will make sure it is still a special time for you and i hope the new year brings you a wonderful home xxxxxx

she is so lovely x

surely lucy a home is around the corner soon????!!!???

I think Lucy is lovely i hope i can give her a home :)

It surely must be Lucy's turn to be chosen, what a wonderful Christmas present it would be to get her forever home.

Please someone give this little lady a chance.... i cant stop thinking about her and her waggy tail! xxxxx

Please please someone chose Lucy tomorrow! xxxx

Hoping with everything crossed that little lucy has a new family to call her own intime for xmas, this gorgeous little lady has been at the kennels since August, surely someone out there will fall for her soon, she is such a loving and playful little lady. Fingers and everything else crossed little lady xxxxx

if i could adopt this girl i would but my parents don't want a greyhound and we have a little shnauzer so.....
but 5 months is to long for this little girl to be at the kennels so somone adopt this girl in time for christmas!!!!

Lucy looks and sounds such a lovely girl. We adopted dingo who was in the kennels a long time too and how he got looked over is beyond us as he is one of the most loving, playfull dog you could meet and we wouldn't be without him now

nearly 4 months this little beauty has been at Daybreaks, that's a long time for any hound but surprisingly long for a girl greyhound who is as sweet and as pretty as Lucy. Lucy loves people and is a happy little girl and i wish her a forever home before christmas as her very special christmas present...please someone come and visit Lucy and see what a special little girl she is and take her home to give her the love she deserves. big hug Lucy...xxxx

Oh Lucy, it breaks my heart that you haven't found your forever home yet, please please someone choose this gorgeous girl she has so much love to give.

hello lovely lucy.xxx

You have been a patient girl waiting for your new home...it has to be soon xxxxx

lucy i wish i cud give you a home good luck in finding your forever home xxxxxxxx

Hi, I first met Lucy back in August when we adopted Gemma as the two girls came in together. I also saw her again a couple of months later on a fund raising day at Daybreaks when she was sharing a kennel with her best friend Char.

She is absolutely gorgeous and we log on to the daybreaks site every week hoping she has been adopted, but feel deeply sad to see her waiting for her forever family at Daybreaks.

Gemma (our greyhoud) is a lovable big character in our house/family and is a perfect beautiful lady. So please anyone wishing to adopt take a look at Lucy, I'm sure you will fall in love with her - go on give her a home for christmas.

Lucy is a lovely bouncy girl with tonnes of personality and good looks to! What more could someone want?! Hope she has a home for Christmas - if we didn't have the cats I would foster her so she wasn't in kennels anymore xxx

haven't had a look on the site for a while but was so sad to see lovely Lucy still hasn't found a home :-( I really hope someone falls in love with her soon xxx

Looking beautful Lucy, hoping this pic melts someones heart xxxxx

Love little lucy!!! i want to take you home princess xxxxxxx

Good luck Lucy xxxx Hope you are g pig friendly xxxx

Thankyou :) that's very reassuring x I will have to come and spend a bit more time with her. she's a real sweety.

I have 2 pigs, kept outside in summer & inddors in winter. Ny 2 greys love them - but have yet to try & eat them. They really only get interested if the pigs move around - wonder why???? Ha Ha, we manage just fine, I just partially cover the indoor cage so the dogs walk on by without noticing too much and have never tried to have the pigs out with the dogs around.

When I first began to rehome greyhounds I had a guinea pig and a naughty rabbit! After an initial sniff through the hutch Bobby soon lost interest, each of mine have had different reactions to small fluffies, some positive some negative, it boils down to the personality of the dog, don't let it put you off rehoming a greyhound, with patience and a bit of work they can live harmoniously together.

U would have to keep them seperate until u knew how ur grey would react to very small fluffies! Lucy is a gorgous girl and very playful. Dunno how shed be around guinea pigs tho! Xxx

i'm new to this forum, what a gorgeous little girl - cant believe she's not got a home yet. i would love a greyhound however i have 2 naughty guinea pigs which live indoors (havent the heart to put them in a cage outside!) i imagine she'd not approve of! ...any advice?!...I realise the obvious response here, and i know i could keep them in one room / locked in their cage, however so scared of risk of them meeting... I love this little pup, met her the other day!

put Lucy on her harness to day to go out walkies and she was as good as gold, such a pretty little girl, hope someone will give her a home soon, she is lovely xxxx

Oh, I get you now, doh! My hounds are my babies too so I know where you are coming from ;0) Well, we had Kevin first followed in quick succession by youngster Sadie. We asked for a lively girl to bring Kev out of his shell and Daybreaks certainly delivered! Then Moo came along unexpectedly (!) and I can say with all honestly that they are a perfect gang and we have never had such much as a squeak or squabble with any of them. I was terrified I might upset our perfect pack by adding a third but I have to say it's been great, as Sarah says they are all so different and amazing in their own way. Many Daybreakers have got all boys, all girls or a combination of both and they all generally seem to work well. I was naughty and Moo came to live with us without anybody (hubby, kids, dogs) even meeting her (there were mitigating circumstances) but any sensible person would take the existing dogs to Daybreaks and and get them to choose their friend. Good luck! Em x

Hi Jo, when you took on your second, that seems to demonstrate how they both adapted and fitted in together and despite the sex of the next one I am sure they will adapt again. As for three . . . we had our first - Toby, then little Jo and they were golden together, our family was complete x x Toby accepted her and she lets him think he is the boss lol - our third is Will (I Am) who we fostered but couldn't bear to give back in the end. They have had the occasional grumble but they sorted out their order as I am sure a third in your pack would (whether male or female) our three make us smile and laugh out loud every day as they are so different and each so amazing x If I can help with any specific questions, or anything - please don't hesitate 2 ask x x x Sairs x

Hi Emma,
I realised after I posted my message yesterday that it may have read like I have children, but both the boy and girl I mentioned are actually greyhounds (so they are my babies really :o) ). He has been with me for 5 yrs, and 2 yrs for her and they really get on great. I'm curious to know how taking on a third changes the dynamic of the existing two and which would be the better sex to fit in to our pack without threatening the status of the other two?

Many thanks. Jo x

Hi JoV

We took on our 3rd hound nearly 2 years ago when my girls were 8 and 11. All 3 of my greys are representative of the breed in that they are very docile and will pretty much put up with anything which is thrown at them (not literally!) My children are (generally) quite sensible and we have always drummed it into them to be respectful towards animals etc etc but I found it's visiting friends/nieces/nephews etc who present the problems! As I said, my greys will put up with anything but just because they put up with it doesn't mean they like it - as you know it's not fair on them to be manhandled by over-exuberant kids! So, we still keep on display the poster given to us by Daybreaks which is a list of 'doggie rules' and we make sure visiting children are aware of this and know to respect the dogs' space especially if they are in their beds. I'm sure Ruth will have a copy of this poster, otherwise I can scan and send my rather battered copy!

Hope this helps, Em x

Lucy is a lovely excitable bouncy girl.. She is strong on her lead but she is walked on a harness and walks beautifully, she loves fuss and is just a really happy girl! She is soo ready for her own home and gets in really well with other greys xxxx

Hi, can you advise on Lucy's personality further?
Also, I'm not sure if this is the right page to ask this, but what's your experience of taking on a third hound when there's a 7 yr old boy and 8yr old girl at home?

Someone adopt this girl she has stayed her time at the kennels she is
A lovely girl with a big heart!!!!!

Lovely, lovely Lucy........ You gave me such a lovely greeting today when we popped into the kennels. You are such a pretty girlie and I sooo want you to have a family of your own. Your time will come pretty lady, I just know it xxxx

Lucy is going to be such an asset to someones home. She is such a poppet who just craves love and affection.

Should be your turn soon Lucy xxxx

...no problem Ruth. I was basically sending a message to Stephers about getting that second grey. I actually think getting a second can be more nerve-wracking than deciding to get your first. We'd had Gent for a year, he was a very happy boy and he wasn't pining for a companion - I guess it was more for us than anything, thinking he'd have a little friend. When we first put them together there was no great romance, no fireworks, in fact they totally ignored each other, sniffing at separate ends of the run and more interested in their surroundings than each other. We took that as a positive sign (at least they didn't hate each other). We've now had Emily and Gent together for a year. They are both so different individually, but together bring us so much love and laughter. They are simply a joy to have around and we say they're like an old married couple! The effort involved really isn't that much extra either, if you're walking one....if you're feeding one...etc, etc. Have a chat with your parent, I'm sure if they are already involved with The Stigg, they won't find an extra one too much of a stretch. Good luck and I hope it works out for you. Mand

Hi Amanda, I am really sorry but I deleted your comment by mistake about Gent and Emily - do you think you could resend it please..... sorry xxxxx

unheard of to have had such a pretty little girl at the kennels so long...Lucy is such a beautiful little minx and i am very surprised that she has not got her home yet, she will make a fabulous pet and i am keeping my fingers crossed for her new home just being around the corner...xxxx

Oh Lucy looks wonderful. So tempting. I really want to take on a 2nd grey, I think it would be the making of The Stig (Matt) and Lucy seems to be the right age and temperament. Just gotta talk round the parent for the occasional dog sitting duties xx

Hope you find your home soon like Dan xxxxx

It must be ur turn next little un, u have waited so patiently for ur forever home. I hope it is just around the corner. U are affectionate and playful... Fingers crossed u are next lucy xxxxxxxxx

Paul took the lovely Lucy to the show today. She's a bright and happy girl and is very interested in life. Seemed also to be comfortable being with our 2 girls and with all the other greys and their owners we chatted to during the day. She was interested in the other breeds but certainly no growling or barking (that was left to Lena!) Jumped straight in the car without any encouragement, settling down and travelling very well on her own. Please someone.... look at this pretty little girl who has waited long enough now and so deserves her forever home. Keeping everything crossed for you Lucy, love from Linda, Paul, Lola & Lena xxx

Lucy was another star at the dog show n behaved so well. I wish someone wud take her home. She's a lovely, playful girl n has been at the kennels far too long. Hope a home comes along room little girlie. X

I think its about time Lucy had the offer of her forever home, she is so lovely and playful and really really cute too! xxxxx

You can tell your daughter that lucy is half sister to Pickle, she is lovely and such a Madam! We loved Percy, he's so much like my Guinny.

Good luck Lucy for tomorrow xxxx

Hi Yes that's Percy who was Kennel mates with Pickles. My daughter was quite distraught that we didn't have pickles as well! She was lovely. X

That gives me hope then! lets see what happens when we go to visit the Kennels on Sunday. Hubby says we are just looking!! Me, the daughter and Percy think otherwise! x

i only had a Rover 25 before i got my van and i managed to get all 3 hounds in it ( bit of a squeeze ) so you should have plenty of room and she is only a dainty little girlie...go on you know you want her :-) xxxx

I have a Grand C Max and can fit my 3 greys in, so I should imagine 2 in a C max should be fine, they sort of find their own space, with the odd grumble when a foot goes somewhere is shouldn't, lol, it all adds to the fun! X

YOu reckon I could get two in the back of a ford focus C Max then? At the moment Percy takes up all the space in the boot, but I I wonder weather thats just because he can!
its only an issue when we go on Hols as we like to take Percy with us when we can. XX

Nikkieclarke do you have the Percy who used to be with Pickle around dec 2009 at daybreaks?

If it helps... I can get my two in the back of C1!! Easy! Xxxxx

She looks just lovely! I am in the process of persuading the hubby to have another so that our grey Percy has got a friend! I am going to ask our neighbour Heather who has 4 greys, to let me borrow two to see if I can get them both in the car! if I can then I reckon we may be good to go! x

oh lucy loo you remind me of my bonny boo mmmm would gladly bring you home with me xxxxxxx

beautiful little lady, she is no less gorgeous with her bandaged tail, it only shows what a sweet happy girlie she is :-) xxxx

Lovely Lucy is such a tiny girl but absolutely FULL of energy. She is very excited when she goes on her walks and loves her kennel mate Char. She loves to lay her head of him and constantly wags her tail. Sadly because of her constant wagging tail she keeps splitting it so we have to keep bandaging it.

lucy we hope you are rehomed soon,beautiful happy girl who needs a home.please look at lucy you wont be disapointed.

She is very beautiful xxxxx

i am surprised to see Lucy still here, surely someone without cats will want to offer her a home very soon, she is adorable xxx

OOPS meant a 'feline free' forever home xxx good luck Lucy xxx

Hope a feline forever homes turns up this weekend xxx

Sadly Lucy failed her cat test so she is now unreserved :-(

Happy news pretty xxxx Reserved xxxx

Lovely Photo!

She still looks very smiley xxxx

we had a gentle cuddle today, she is so sweet and despite having all these teeth out she was wagging her tail and smiling happily...

Aah poor Lucy. Met her on Sunday and she was loving having her neck scratched. Hope she feels better tomorrow. Mand x

Awww poor lucy. Big hugs little girl xxxxx

I have just got home from the vets where Bonny and Lucy have been speyed today. Kindly volunteer Ray is looking after Bonny and I have Lucy - the poor girl has only 5 teeth left sadly and is feeling a little sorry for herself. I am sure she will feel much better in the morning x
