Update on Joeys off lead adventures...Today hubby let Joey off in the same field, had a lovely time, Joey went and did lots and lots of sniffing. Hubby tried to call Joey away from his sniff spot, Joey looked up but didn't move and carried on sniffing. Hubby whistled, called several more times but same response from Joey. Hubby started walking away with Milly in the direction of the house, turned around, Joey in same place sniffing. Hubby called and whistled again - Joey BARKED!! LOUDLY! Hubby called and whistled - joey barked again!! Repeat x5! Hubby walked over to Joey who then ran towards him, circled him 3 times, came close then hopped away again!! Finally Joey came over to hubby for some cuddles and love after having been very cheeky!! More work required! xx

Joey had a fantastic run off lead in the field today - he seems so happy when he goes off lead - his tail was practically horizontal (look at his rehoming pic for comparison) we have been beginning to work on his recall to a whistle and he is such a good boy - soon as he hears the whistle head up, looks at us and runs to us. He had a lovely play off lead with a doberman who we reguarly walk with as well - so good to see him happy and confident but also so clearly attached to us and wanting to please. Best. Dog. Ever! xx

Joey has just come home from his Christmas stay at Bark Inn whilst we went down to visit my parents in Somerset. He greeted us with tiny licks to our hands and an extra boing in his step as he came down the kennels to meet us again. He's my beautiful first greyhound and I am so glad for the love he has given us. He's now curled up by the radiator after having a mad five mintues killing his toy!xx

Wowee Joey - 2 years since we came and collected you from daybreaks. He received the best compliment ever this weekend, he was staying at Bark Inn Kennels with Milly as we were away for a wedding and the ladies at Bark Inn said they would never have known he was a timid boy!! Is this really the same Grey Face we picked up 2 years ago who wouldn't come to me for a treat, who shyed away from every new person he meT?! He is still anxious sometimes but doing so much better and seems so happy, bouncing when we come down in the morning and in from work :)

We are planning on coming to the show so shall see everyone then :) Thanks Daybreaks for letting us have Joey, he has made us all so happy xx

Joey had a lovely visit to the kennels today for his annual bath....he was very well behaved unlike Milly who tried to climb out the bath by rearing up onto her hind legs and then sulked and turned her back on us all afterwards!!

We spent New Year in Cornwall and thoroughly wore out Joey and Milly with there country cousins Abbie and Ernie (lurchers) they had a great time long walks on the moor and lots of attention.

Thanks Sue for bathing them today - they smell of strawberries now!

Happy gotcha day joey! Can't believe it was one year ago we collected a skinny, timid boy. You have now blossomed into a handsome and faithful hound who I love so so much and can't imagine being without!! Lots of love Rosie and Milly xxx

Thank you max, heidi and Caroline! I think joey and Milly loved their stay and def enjoyed the walk, they are asleep on their bean bags now!! Thanks for looking after then for a night, see u soon no doubt!

Met Joey & Millie with Max & Heidi this morning and they were beautiful.....really enjoyed the walk (and sausages) too. :-)

Max & Heidi say thank you Joey &Millie for coming for a sleep over we had a lovely time , all enjoyed the mid night fest. Happy Birthday to goldie loved the birthday cake we had on the Stratford Walk. hope to see you again Big Licks Max & Heidi xxxx

Hi Rosie. yes its still fine for them to come and stay with me. it would be best for me that you bring them to mine, if you come a little earlier then we could take them for a walk together so that they can meet before going in to the house, hope thats ok with you. look forward to meeting you, Joey & Milly :) Ruth has my Address & phone Number please phone to let me know time x

Hi Caroline! Is it still ok for joey and Milly to have a short holiday at your house?! I don't know how best to exchange details but if easier I could meet u at the kennels with them and then pick them up from u on the Sunday? Whatever is best for u. Thanks so much! Rosie

Hello! Thanks for the offer Caroline! Alcester isn't too far but shall hold out and see if anyone else can help, if not that would be great though, thanks. Milly is a greyhound! She is from here as well :)

hi again is Millie a Grehound as Max doesnt get on with other breeds ;0

hi i have Max and Heidi and a very small house, but if no one else can help as its only for one night i would be willing. i might live to far, i live in Alcester near Redditch

Hello! This is a big ask but is there anyone in the south Birmingham region that could have joey and Milly for one night next sat? We live in hall green and are trying to visit friends but can't take the hounds with us :( I could drop them round sat afternoon and pick them back up on Sunday evening! Thanks guys! Rosie x

Happy birthday Joey, lots of love, Fiona, Charlie, Fly and Lucy xxxxxxx

Happy birthday joey!! Lovely grey face boy, we will take you for a long walk today and give you extra cuddles!! Love Rosie, josh and Milly xxx

We have had Joey for just over 6 months now and its hard to see him as the same dog thats in the rehoming picture. He has put on lots of weight, its hard to keep it on him but he looks loads better! he is fab with the cats and seems to be happy to have a new girlfriend in Milly.

He has developed some aggressive tendencies towards other dogs when out and about it the last few weeks/months so his muzzle is back in place but we are working really hard with him to start to change his behaviour.

So glad we came to Daybreaks and got beautiful Joey, hes been a great first hound and we love him to pieces :) xxx

We have had Joey for 8 weeks now and what a great 8 weeks it has been! He has settled in really well and fits in with our routine perfectly. Still no accidents in the house and a very waggy tail when we get in from work or come down in the morning. He runs round and round our garden like a race track and then asks us to chase him! He is slowly putting weight on and looks less skinny than when we first reserved him all those weeks ago. He is doing really well at training - his recall is coming on leaps and bounds. Love Joey to bits and so glad we came to Daybreaks and adopted him. Now just waiting for hubby to OK greyhound number 2....!! xx

One week in and Joey is really starting to show his personality! Hes really playful in the garden, and loves bounding around and acting like a puppy! He is now eating all his meals every day and wags his tail when his lead comes out for a walk. Today he was amazing - we travelled to Stow on wold to meet my parents and their collie. He was perfect in the car and although a little anxious at first behaved really well around the town and on a 3 mile walk. He was great with my parents collie - couldnt have asked for more! Can't wait to keep seeing him coming out of his shell :)

Just read about Joey in his new home. After looking after him in our home for 2 weeks I can honestly say he is such a gentle loving dog. He was very shy & nervy at first but gradually came round.His tail went 10 to the dozen when you came into the room & he'd lie by you.He loved going out on his walks.It was lovely to see him gaining weight day by day.I must say we were really upset to see him go, we just fell in love with him.A few tears have been shed. But also we're so happy that he's found a lovely new home to go to.I hope that we continue to hear how he's getting on in the future.

Joey has been such a good boy today!! We went on a lovely 45 minute walk and he has done lots of wees in the garden! He is still quite anxious and didn't eat all of his dinner but we tempted him with some pilchards and a boiled egg. Been brilliant with the cats and totally ignored them - they arent so sure though!

One week till we come and bring you home Joey!! Seems so far away!

Amazing

Pleased to see you reserved xxxxx

Love sponge, thats Joey. He is a little shy but when he loves he give it all, he can be very playful when settled and love a bit of fuss. Hope some lucky family find you soon. xxxxxxx

Love the term "love sponge" sums him up, bless him, gorgeous boy.xxx

This gorgeous boy is my Mr Fletchers half brother as they share the same dad.......and have the same markings and wistful look, I bet he'll be a little love sponge too,just like fletcher......would love to bring you home but I've been warned that two is enough :(

Soooo handsome xxx

Oh love him !! blimey I have fell in love with him, love the bath pics what a beautiful long nose Mr Grey Face has !! and good with the puss cats ! well Mr i bet your snapped up soon !! xxxxx

Joey is lying at my feet at the moment fast asleep, I brought him home to cat test him, he has been brilliant totally ignored the cats even when I made him come nose to nose with one! What a sweetheart, someone is going to get a wonderful pet.

Just look at that face! I love it! x

How is the lovely boy ,hope he is feeling better.

Hope Joey makes a full recovery soon. Such a loving and happy boy when he gets to know you all he needs is a loving and kind hand with a bit of patience. Not sure he is impressed with his bath. x x x

heres hoping this beautiful boy makes a full recovery.

you can use mine today linda,wishing joey all the best x.

I wish I could send him another cuddle but he's had my one for today already. I'm keeping everything crossed for him. xxxx

Oh nooo poor poor baby!! I hope he's better soon.. Big loves xxxxx

Joey is a very poorly boy at the moment. He struggled coming round from his anaesthetic and Debbie the vet nurse took him home last night to keep an eye on him. His throat has swollen and we are awaiting for blood test results to see what is the next step with him. Until then, he will be stopping at our house where he will get ultimate TLC x

Adorable, adorable, adorable.......xxxx

Bath time photos are on now! Sorry for the delay Sara! Hoping he is feeling ok - he was castrated today and sadly as we are at the Trevor Burton Charity Gig tonight, I have been unable to bring him home and look after him post op as I like to with all our op dogs :-(

I love working with him :) he's coming out of his shell and he's lovely to fuss and his fur is really nice :) Wish i could have him, must persuade the parents :D

He is just gorgeous. Reminds me ever so slightly of a certain grey-faced girl I know!! Those eyebrows just make their faces so expressive. I really hope someone falls in love with him xxxx

Another handsome Honcho dog he has such a lovely face.

oh my he has the same face markings as my McKenzie and he is just as gorgeous....i can feel my heartstrings pulling....

Awww joey grey face looks like a really cute racoon :o) xxxxxxxx

As we already have a Joey at the kennels, this Joey must be Mr Grey Face..... he is absolutely adorable and his little grey face makes him look far older than he is.

Josh looks like a lovely boy, can I send him double cuddles please x

He looks really really sweet xxxx

Aww bless, he's lovely.x
