So sad...God Bless Fearne. Xxx

It's very sad this week three beautiful greys gone to rainbow bridge run free little girl three stars will shine so bright tonight be happy playing all together thinking of your family we are sending big hugs and love to all love tinker and family xxx

So very sad I remember Ferne at the kennels, taken too soonx

Very sad. Run free poppet. X

Sadly we have been told that Fearne was PTS recently. So sad....... Run free little one xxxx

Come on girls, who's tempted to say "does he have a brother?". Mand x

Fearne, it sounds as though you have found the perfect boyfriend! xxx

Hi everyone, You'll never guess, but Auntie Ruth's matchdog.com has given me an internet date !!! Wow. On monday my pets and I popped into the kennels to see if this dog computer dating can work. .... well.... I met a gorgeous boy, and tried to play with him, but we didn't quite hit it off, then Toby appeared around the corner. WHAT A HUNK !!!! We got on like a " kennels on fire". Auntie Ruth said that he needed a new home today, so he came back with us to Derby. When I showed him my home, he wanted to share my bed .... on the first date too.... well as anyone knows that is not done, so I had to give him a little growl to remind him that he can't take liberties with such a cute young lady. My pets bought him his own bed and we have "shared bedroom with twin beds". I've already taught him that the table is very accessible for morsels when the pets aren't looking !! He's a quick learner. I've taught him to run up the stairs as quickly as possible and come down slowly.....he's got the idea. Chat soon Love Fearne XXX

Hi, I am feeling braver now and the stable door has been miraculously left open, so no need to jump over it. I still follow mum around, but have learnt that when they are in the shower I will be taken by the collar and returned to my bed. I get the hint !!!! I still sleep with mum, but she goes off to work at night, and as every grey knows, a grey can sleep all day. Only been a couple of weeks and the walks with my pet, Eric, are great. Auntie Ruth has given my pets lots of sensible advice and Auntie Ina has made sure that my new home is just what I need, and gives me cuddles when we visit her. Will keep you informed.

Hi Fearne Just explain to them that you're still worried about your new world and just need to stay near familiar people and they'll understand that you're only a little girl - and only 3... you'll get braver over time though it may be you'll be happier with another greyhound friend to hold your paw when your hooman pets are out .. aunti Ruth can let your hoomans have another greyhound or two :) then you won't have to cuddle up to your hooman pets for comfort :) Love Charlie lurcher who has most of the hooman bed at home :)

Oh fearnie you are a little minx- my latest boy rick was a bit like fearn- I think it,s just a case of settling espec as like my rick she was a returnee- rick followed us around constantly at first and we found that leaving him for small amounts of time at first and then longer and longer he got the message you may have to put up with the bed situation although I found if you keep coming down and giving reassurance then eventually they stop whining at night I don,t know what to suggest about gate jumping though mine were n,t clever enough to try that one- best of luck

Hi everyone. As you know I have a new home !! Well.. what can I say. The bed is brillant, food good, treats to die for BUT... I have to ask your help. You see my new pets have read the wrong books and been given very poor advice. Is there anyone out there who can help a poor grey called Fearn. My pets are completly clueless. They seem to think that when they close the "stable door" (am I a horse??) I am expected to STAY in the kitchen. REALLY !! I just jump over it and then they seem put out that I want to follow them around. ANOTHER thing ..... please someone explain that their bed is big enough for the three of us. My mother pet was upset that I wanted to share the bed.... all children want to sleep with mum and dad surely. I think if I whine a lot and cry... maybe they will give in and let me share. What do you think Auntie Ruth..... Could you please put in a word for me. ove Fearn

We met the lovely Fearne last year when we adopted our Marnie, such a sweet girl. So sorry for your loss it must have been devastating, but so happy for little Fearne, let's hope you bring each other happiness after such sad times for you all x

Hi everyone who has greys in their hearts. I lost my two precious girls last year, aged 14 and 11 Derryhogan Ellie and Maddy,and my life needs a grey in it. Fearne will come and be loved and spoilt by Eric and myself for her lifetime. So looking forward to sharing our lives with her. Thenks.

Ah such good news my pretty - well done! xx

Well done fearnie you are a superstar I hope you are lucky this time xx

I had lots of kisses yesterday when I went to see the gorgeous fearne- in fact I had forgotten just how gorgeous this girlie is -I really hope that somebody falls in love with her she would make a wonderful companion foe somebody

Oh sweetheart cant believe your back I really hope you get picked again very soon x x

Hope a new home comes along soon for lovely Fearne, sad to see her back at the kennels. xxx

Oh Fearne, reading your back history is so sad, you are such a lovely girl and Im sure in the right environment and with the right approach you will make someone a firm and faithful friend! Lots of love to you Fearne, will come and give you a big cuddle tomorrow. :) xxxxxx

Oh no Fearne!! You are such a babe! We need some more burns soon so maybe I can come and give you a lovely hug and cuddle - I always had a soft spot for you and can't believe you are back :( x

Awww so sorry Fearne has been returned, as soon as I saw the photo of her with her cone I remembered her, she is so sweet, happy Pluto has a new little friend though I have been thinking about him after Henry went to his new home and if he was all alone. I hope Fearne gets new home soon. xx

Oh fearnie baby not you as well I will come up and give you kisses on friday- on the plus side Ruth Pluto has gained himself a girlfriend I bet he,s happy

Oh dear, so sorry to see Fearne has been returned : (
Hope you don't have to wait too long sweetheart before you find your forever home. X

Sadly Fearne has been returned as she is suffering from separation anxiety due to her owner now working. She has been paired up with Pluto and seems very settled back at the kennels.

Why has the beautiful Fearne been returned? I'll give you a cuddle at the weekend if you're still there.

Wow totally gorgeous, I see everyones saying she's a returnee... Why oh why? Xx

Fearne!!!! Oh no not another returnee! :-(

So sad to see this beautiful girl back :( Hope she finds her perfect forever home asap x

Oh no! Why was Fearne returned?

hello Fearne, whats your story, you look a lovely girl, welcome back to DB. :) xxx

I have just logged for lunchtime and spotted Fearne, who looks like another returnee.

My cuddle today goes to Fearne.

Lovely rehoming pic , the two little girls look like they will soon get Fearne sorted out ...good luck and best wishes ....
Please keep us all updated , as I've found out , you just can't post too much to this friendly community.

that is such a lovely pic of fearne with her new family she looks very excited x

So glad Fearne has found a home - we were very sorry to leave her behind, but had already lost our hearts to Ruby and there wasn't space for another! lovely dog, have a lovely life!

lovely kisses and cuddles for the last time yesterday fearne- will miss you- please have a great life and tell your new mummy we need to know how you are getting on xx

Yay well done fearne!

we are all really excited about bringing u home fearne you are a lovely dog and you will get lots of love and cuddles love from your new owners xxxx

I just kept looking back at Fearnes face everyday and feeling sad so this news is Fantastic .
I just hope that the new owners use the support and advice that Daybreaks gives and this forum to tell us all about the good times and the not so easy times , the not so easy times soon become fond , lasting, funny and great memories as your new dog starts to understand just how loving us humans can be and then brings you a washing up sponge from the kitchen sink to say thank you...

All the best Fearne and your new owners...( and if you need and more inspiration look at dog 770)

Jeffrey , Carrie and Teddy xx

The New Icemaid ClanXX behave and take to the sofa.
Yes................................................................X

Yaaaay!! who has had this little gem? xxx

One word says it all...... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!

It's been a long time since checking the website (I had to wean myself off my addiction as it was getting too heartbreaking!) but I certainly did not expect to see this gorgeous girl still there. Such a sweetie who gave both me and baby Sadie kisses last time we popped up to the kennels. Big cuddles. xx

thanks for the kisses today fearnie still love u loads- trying to get hubby to agree to no 3 or fostering but he,s not bending- you are a top girl xx

why has no chosen you yet sweetie, sure you like to tell the boys off but thats the way you like to be...

that picture truly melted the butter on my toast this morning :P

My favourite pooch which the piercing eyes is still there :-(

Your story breaks my heart, see you tomorrow sweetheart x

Dear God,

Fearne is pulling at my heartstrings at the moment , Ive never met her , but her story makes me proper sad , I would like to have her but that would , as you know , be impracticable , so the next best thing , please find Fearne a home with someone who will just put up with anything until that great day when Fearne finally gets Home life and all the human rules associated with it...

Thanks

Jeff

fearne, every friday i pick my daughter up you are there kissing and licking me- if only there was room for no 3- you are so loving and friendly you only need that one person with the time and devotion and you would be in doggy heaven- if you are there on friday i,ll be waiting for a kiss but i hope you,ll have a home by then

Come on Fearne , with a story like yours you should be in your own home by now , wagwan ? Surely there is someone else , like me who would take you no matter what , its all in the eyes , trust me , Just give the next Humans you see some sad mad eyes and you'll be sorted little lady.... no matter what !

Fearne is such a cutie, so full of life and energy. She loves to play and is so alert and interested in everything, and she adores people. I hope the right home comes along very soon. x

You are Soo beautiful. Your story is so sad, I don't understand how anyone could be so cruel x

cuddle for the beautiful girl today. I have definetly taken a shine to you. (Like I do to most of the blues!) But you're special, considering what you've been through and how happy you look. :)

This little lady gets my cuddle today, such a loving lady in need of lots of love,cuddles and a bit of patience and when she finds her forever family she will return that love by being happy to see you, always there on sad or bad days,a true friend forever. one look at those lovely big eyes and it pulls on the heart srings wishing you lots of love and luck xx

How gorgeous do you look little Fearne, hope you look like this when people visit you'll have your own sofa in no time!!!
Lots of luck n snuggles xxx

Fearne looks sooooo beautiful in that second / newer picture. I remember reading her story when she first arrived and that first picture showed a vulnerable, anxious dog. You have obviously done wonders with her already :O)

Beautiful in pink xxxx

So so tempted to bring this beautiful girl home, though not sure we're the right home for her. If she were to be restless when we go out I don't think the others (especially Magic and Mick) would take too kindly to it. There are times she'd have to be left for 7 or 8 hours (1 week in three). This is such a tough one :( xxxx

Aww sweet cheeky Fern, you cheered me up today. Your antics are fun!

Beautiful girl...tall though! I put my hand against the bars just above her head and she leapt up so that my fingers were almost level with paws! (I'm only 11 though).

Couldn't agree more Jeff - at the end of the day it's quite simple really, if you're not prepared to put in the time & effort required then don't take the dog. my advice - please stick with it, the first few nights home our beautiful boy Shane chewed his way through the surround & scratched the door to try to get to us - but with time & patience we got over it and had 4 years of love, fun & a brilliant companion before we lost him last year. I sometimes feel people view rehoming with rose-tinted glasses "look what a good thing I've done" without fully appreciating all that's required. But rest assured - it is so worth it.

I feel this should be a duplicate post on Carries page , but separation anxiety can take time , but Im happy to report my first poo and wee free day today whilst I was at work thats about 2 months , it takes time and alot of patience , a nice sign is that is happening alot now is a chair I have in one of the bedrooms Carrie has access to during the day is always "slept in" when I get home , showing that she is finding somewhere to settle during the day apart from her bed......

Surely there is SOMEONE out there , who no matter what happens , warts and all is prepared to follow to the letter the advice thats available and slowly but surely get the rewards that Im sure Fearne will bring given time and patience , when you realise most of the time its not the dog thats the problem , its the way YOU act or re-act to their behavior , regardless of their background ,that one simple tip becomes a revelation

Hi, that's a shame as my two would love her from sounds of it. Hope she finds a home soon. Little darlin, looks and sounds very cute and loving. Xx

Hi BELLA, Fearne is definitely a girl who loves the boys! She is much happier with the company of Norris than she was with a couple of girls we introduced her. She is even happier with human company and would certainly suit a home where she is not left for long.

This little girl might be happy with two girls to play with in a home? We are waiting for best time to pop up with our Bella. She had anxiety issues to extreme when she was younger. It is hard and takes time but very well worth it. Fearne sounds a lovely girl. XxX

I popped in today to get some food for my lovely marney (omani) and the first face i saw was Fearne's. She gave me a big lick on the hand and looked so happy and in lovely condition. I really hope the fact she experienced 'seperation anxiety' doesnt stop people from coming to see her or considering her for adoption. We have had our Marney (omani) for 8 weeks now and she had seperation anxiety, this was not only distressing for her, but it was also really upsetting for us (to a point where we thought it was unfair to keep her on). We stayed in contact with daybreaks and followed all the advice given and did lots of our own research into how we could help her. She is now settled and an absolute character and star! I feel for her last owner/s as it is in no way an easy decision to make. I obviously cant comment on their circumstances as i dont know, however we were fortunate enough to have no other commitments when we took on Marney. it was hard work (and still is at times!) however worth it. Good Luck Fearne x

Poor baby needs time and patience. I hope you get that very soon pretty girl xxxx

so very sad that you had such a short time in a home, you are a beauty and hopefully someone who already has a houndie will fall inlove with you and then you might settle a little easier. xxx

Oh Fearne, I'm so sorry to hear this my lovely girl. What went wrong? It sounds like you didn't get much of a chance to show what a beauty you are. My cuddle for you today, and hope you find a true home very soon. xx

So sad to hear it hasn't worked out this time for lovely Fearne. xxx

Poor girl, hopefully a new home will arrive soon, perhaps with a doggy friend to keep you company when left xxxx

Gutted... Carrie seems to have had separation anxiety too and still does a bit ( worse in the early days) , it does take some work as Im doing everything by the book and more, but slowly very slowly things are improving ,how sad for Fearne , Im actually crying and don't mind admitting it , Oh how i wish the next 12 years away until I retire early , if it where here , she would be with me in a flash ...

Good luck Fearne , you WILL find a home

How sad, she looks such a lovely girl and with her past treatment by some humans, how sorry are we.

Love the New Icemaid Clan XXXXX (extras kisses for her)

Sadly Fearne has been returned as she has separation anxiety when she is left.

Ahhh that nice green tag Rehomed , a message to her new owner if you haven't already had a rescue dog before , they do settle and they become the most rewarding , precious things in the world and if you have , then you will know exactly what I mean , regardless of their background , have fun and give her a big hug from me and Carrie

Such a lovely girl, so bright and full of life and an absolute sweetheart. Enjoy your new home beautiful. x

She likes to sit and role on people. She likes company and close contact. It is quite incredible she is so 'up-and-at-'em' considering what she has been through. Not a shy girl, but eager to be someones best friend. x.

she does love her attention! Gave me a big kiss on Sunday!

I am so glad to hear that she has been reserved. I don't think I should tell Mark about her history. He fell for her big time at the vets on Thursday while we were collecting Fire. She gave him big cuddles even though she was feeling groggy. I hope you enjoy your new home sweetheart. Lots of cuddles for you xxxxxx

welldone sweetie, I love the red sign but prefer green :P

Great news for Fearne , Im so pleased , I said she would get what she deserved and a new loving home on the way is exactly that , Ive no doubt that Karma will deliver her previous owners what they deserve soon too , I wish there was a place to get updates on that !!

God she is such a pretty girl...I hope she has an amazing life from now on.

Yay Fearne, a lovely little red sign. Knew it wouldn't take long for someone to fall for you! Good luck little girl. Mand x

Very pleased to see that you are reserved, really wish you loads of love and happiness xxxx and hope you soon forget the bad things xxxx

the cruelty of the human race does not surprise me any longer as sadly it seems to be on the increase :-( however there are still some lovely people in this world who will do anything to help a dog (or other animal) in need and i for one feel honoured to be part of a group of people who do just that... good luck baby girl in finding the home you deserve where you will be loved and spoilt to make up for your shocking start in life....and as always a big thank you to Ruth and Michelle at Bark Inn who have made this possible. xxxx

Fearnes story makes me so sad and so angry at the same time , even more poignant becuase she looks a bit like My pretty little Carrie , I too am not going to say exactly what's on my mind and what I would like to do to those people , but what gos around comes round is the universal rule ,and I so hope it comes true for Fearne soon and she gets the loving home she deserves and those people who threw her out get what they deserve too .

Fearne is absolutely adorable, and has to be the most fussy dog we have ever had had Bark Inn.

loves to hug but watch out she'll box your chops for you if your not careful so don't say you haven't been warned.
Hopefully Fearne will come back and visit with her new owner.

There's some real scrotes out there and deserve doing to them what this little poppet has had done to her. Little Fern has many warm and loving years ahead of her once she's on the mend. Looks a gentle soul. XxXxX

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's shed a few tears after reading Fern's story. I'd say there will be quite a few 'real' cuddles coming your way this weekend little girl. Mand, Gent & Emily xxx

Hope you settled well at Aunty Ruths xxxx

Poor little girl, how can people be so cruel and heartless :( hope she gets a loving new forever home soon. ( and is ok with Auntie Ruths babies)

What an awful thing to happen to such a sweet girl, (i cant type what i would love to say) thank goodness for Michelle at Bark Inn and Ruth who will now find her forever home, this little girl may have been thrown away like a piece of rubbish, but she had her guardian angel with her that day and is going to have a brilliant future ! xxxxxx Best of luck beautiful xx

If that's what they do to their dogs, i dread to think how they treat their wives and kids :O(
How could anyone do that ? It's beyond most people's understanding (luckily). Note to self : best to focus, not on the ones that are abused, but the ones that are rescued and given a second chance :O)

What a sweetheart. Who would do such a thing?

Poor baby! Well you won't be here long as you are young and beautiful! And be nice to Ruth's gang because they are all amazing!

How sad, such a beautiful face. There are some very cruel people in the world. I am sure her future will be a lot happier than her past. xxx

Poor thing, am always astonished at the cruelty of humans ! Find it soooo hard to understand. Just glad she has been rescued and now has a chance of living a wonderful life (and hopefully will forget the harm done to her). Love to you Fern, I suspect you will get loads of love now xxxx

What can you say to that history that could be put on the website without being censored.This has made me sad as this was possibly the same history as my lurchers . I am sure Michelle has given Fern lots of TLC and hopefully she will have a home in the non too distant future. Good luck tonight Ruth -could be interesting.

What a little poppet, CAN NOT understand how people can do this to these beautiful creatures. Good luck sweetie.

Ruth, how is the stunning Red, I NEED to see some pic's of him PLEASE, sendin him big snuggles xxx

Fern is not a tattooed greyhound but was witnessed being thrown out of a car. She has been rehabilitating at Michelle's kennels (Bark Inn) and she is being speyed today and will come home with me tonight. She is fantastic with people but prefers to be on her own as she can be a bit grumbly with other dogs...... we shall see what she thinks of our house later with my 6, Red and Kylie the other grey being speyed today!
