Ahh so pleased that Red has such a happy ever after. Thoroughly deserved. xx

Hi Zoe, Red is a very lucky boy to have a home with you and Steve. Kate & Twiggy xxxx

Hi all, thank you for all your kind words, we can report that Red is fine,if a little woosy and confused as to where his bits have gone! We have all fallen for him, especially Chic and Avi! He has bought a sparkle to our lives that had gone after we said goodbye to Bobby at rainbow bridge, so we have decided to sign him up permanently as he makes the family feel complete again!

Whew! Your through the op ok. And CONGRATULATIONS Zoe & Steve - he is the most munchy boy. Love you Red.
luv t

I have just spoken to Zoe who is fostering Red at the moment and he has come through his op :-)

Zoe and Steve have decided to offer Red a permanent home after their sad loss of Bobby recently and I am pleased to change him from fostered to reserved until they can come along to sign the paperwork. We have had many offers of homes for Red but with his ongoing treatment, this was not possible until now. Well done Red! x

A cuddle for Red today x

Hope all goes well for Red today. xxx

good luck baby boy for the 'snip' today, much love from Ina and the boys and Daisy. xxxx

Good luck Red for today xxxxx It is nothing compared to what you have already been through x

Big big hugs handsome, lots of love for tomorrow, kisses from Aunty Jill and the Williams gang!

Hi Red, are you off to see Andre tomorrow for you choppity op? Hope your leg is getting stronger and that Zoe & Steve are loving having you every bit as much as I did.
luv t

Hiya,
so good to hear from you that Red is fitting right in, I knew he would he is such a chilled lad. As for photos Linda I have loads!! Mostly of Red roaching though, not so pretty as he is entire for now. R & B have settled down again now, Blossy not missing him so much now, and R is more loving again - silly lad. It was such a privilege to have Red here, he was easy to look after really, all I needed to think about was our prized possesions being within easy reach -LOL, my house is back to chaos instead of very tidy, oops, and maybe now my grass will have a chance to recover from 3 wee's on one spot all the time.
Hope to see you again one day Red.
luv t

Hi Zoe..... keeping everything crossed at the moment that your girls keep lovin' having Red staying with them! For all of us Red followers who haven't managed to catch him on his visits to Daybreaks with Tracey it would be nice if we could have some new photos on his page. :) Maybe you can add this to your foster parent duties? Love from Linda, Paul, Lola & Lena xx

Hi to everyone especially Tracey.Red came to stay with us on sunday after being with auntie tracey for 2 months.On arriving home our girls seemed to like him, lots of sniffing and mooching round the garden together.At bed time Chic decided to stay downstairs with him-im not sure who was the most pleased to see me in the morning -Chic for taking on the role of a big sister or Red cause hed spent the night with a pretty, teeth chattering, black and white girl !!!!!.Hes been very loving and very chilled out -not wanting to tempt fate but so far hes being the perfect house guest ......x

Awww Red, my lovely lad, how are you settling with Zoe & Steve? We miss you, Blossy is a bit down, but Reubes is a bit bouncier?? Less competition for cuddles maybe!
Hope you showing Zoe what a good boy you are, and being bouncy for cuddles in the morning just like you did for me.
luv t xx

Yesterday Red moved house and has gone to Zoe and Steve's to be fostered until he has finished his treatment. I am so very very grateful to Tracey who has been an absolute star for looking after Red for so long and helping him through his recovery. I bet your house is quiet now but at least Heather's pottery projects are safe! x

Tracie you have done really well with this boy and I am sure both you and Ruth will ensure he gets the home he deserves.
Ruth will no doubt find another foster grey for you!

bless his heart he looks like such a cutie :) xx

Aww, we had a lovely time at kennels yesterday, although Red seemed more quiet than usual with all the bustle?(spelling) of Pet Blood Bank being there. Thanks you Sue for keeping us company and the other lovely lady volunteer who doesnt have her own grey (sorry I didn't get your name....). Anyways after kennels, Red went for a review on his hock. All Good - review again in 2 months and I'm to walk him for longer now to build up his confidence on that leg. Have also booked him in for castration in 3 weeks, which means he can then go for re-homing!!! I'm a bit in between with this news tbh, as it means I wont have him anymore, hubby firmally saying no to no.3 grey. Ah well, at least then I can foster another grey.luv t

It was so nice to see you today Red and have some cuddles xxxx

Brining the boy wonder in tomorrow for you all to give him a cuddle, cos he loves them so!

Red, I know your a beautiful licky bouncy boy but will you please stop stealing & chewing important objects like Heathers first pottery project! Really it beggars belief what you will attempt to eat ( sunglasses, manicure box and balloon last week).

Hiya T :) Try just above his foot and see if that encourage shim to use the foot- it just should bring an awareness of his feet to him :)

Hi Em Oh well my knee was sssooooo painful I think I'd rather have your amazing treatment and no pain than two weeks off work :) J xx

Hi Julie thanks for the tip - as its Reds hock thats broken (was, but still has plate fitted) I dont think I should put the scrunchy on that point - so my question is - where do you mean by the wrist!! (Google let me down!)
My knee is on the mend - as is yours!!
luv t

Glad to hear your knee is still feeling better Julie, but sorry I scuppered your marathon armchair Olympic-fest ;0) Em x

Hi T .. I like it LOL Something that may help him to use his poorly leg .. get two kiddies hair scrunchies and put one on each hind leg- either above the hock or at the bottom (wrist) and ask him to walk for a little while - 5 mins max at first, encourage him with nice 'sweeties' then take it off as he'll be using muscles which he hasn't used for sometime and they will tire easily and you don't want to strain them. You may need to use 4 scrunchies - one on each leg, just see what helps him :) but keep it short aand gradually build up to using the scrunchies for longer and even for his walks :) Hope your knees better soon - I've just really hurt mine- doc said ligaments but the wonderful Emma Bryce has worked miracles in one session and I can walk on it and it hardly hurts ... shame my plan of 2 weeks off work to watch the Olympics failed LOL See you soon Julie xx

Ha Ha Ha, guess whos back at my house - my munchy monster! Red has settled straight back in, back to our routines immediately. Now he CAN walk on all 4 legs, I'm training him to "go" on our lawn, not our patio....he doesn't like NO, LOL!
He has had a couple of very short & very slow walks, to make him put that foot down as he still likes to keep it up all the time. He is funny. He is still stealing & chewing, my housekeeping skills have bucked up again, that said when we were having group hugs today he stole a hairbrush right in front of me.....can't contain his excitement!! Love this boy so much...........

Ooooo munchy boy how are you? How you doing on your "new" leg? I have bust my knee on hols n can't drive so no trips to see you for now....hubby being v stubborn about you.....not fair. luv ya miss your licky licks & mad morning banging into me

Hi all, Well Red is at the vets tomorrow to have his final bandage removed. He has been putting his weight on his poorly leg a lot more this week, so fingers crossed its all good news tom. I've also got to bring him back to Daybreaks as I'm on holiday next week and only have room for my 2 in the car. Boo Hoo, I'm gonna be sad...........He is a very special boy who loves a pet, has settled really well into our routines, is learning not to grab treats and if he would just stop munching inappropriate "toys" he finds then he would be perfect (headbands, lego pieces, hairbrush, dog nail clippers.....the list goes on).
His coat has improved but still has a way to go, his recall is good in the house & garden, but he is still spooked by the great outdoors - well new noises anyway, such as rattling fence panels & loud trucks & my window cleaners ladders!! He is isn't mega stressed by new sounds thankfully, just learning.
If only my hubby wasn't so adamant I would defo keep this boy, I'm still working on him though - fingers crossed! I'm hoping Ruth can hold Red til I get back then maybe I can re-foster him back again??????? ;)
luv t

Hi T... great news that Red is doing well. These boys do like to keep us challenged. Tanking round the garden is so NOT a good idea but they don't think like us do they? I'm sure all they know is 'Today I feel good' and 'I'd like to run around' so we get to have all the stress! Bless him....sounds like a lovely boy. Norris has been with us about a month now and is starting to really show his personality which at times can be a little cheeky! Red is well ahead of him in being in a home so I can imagine where he is at LOL! Keep up the good work x

Red is continuing to get better & better. He is really beginning to bear weight on his poorly leg, and its all I can do to stop him tanking round my garden! Another week and his bandage should be off forever, then its reveiw time on whether the plate stays or goes. He is a sweetheart, loves a fuss, and pretty good at kisses now. He is also a terrible thief & chews his booty when we are not looking, LOL. xx

How is Red getting on?, hope he is all healed now. xx

What is it with my girl Blossy getting all in your face Red, bad enough she tried outside, now shes trying to get in your bed with you still in it! No wonder you told her off big style, she did look sheepish for a while didn't she. LOL.xx

PS No harm done, all bark & no bite.

Hope Red is feeling better today. Glad to hear he is healing well. xxx

Red was at the vets yesterday. He was going to have the plate removed but as his wound & skin have healed so well and showing no irritation the plate has stayed in for now. He will be reviewed in 2 weeks.
Unfortunatley Red has a very upset tum last night and had probs going for a wee, so it was a rather sniffy house this morning. Thankfully he has kept down his light breakfast & small drink of water - after he burped a big drink of water - silly lad sneaked it when I was upstairs, only put it down for R & B to top up!!! I live & learn again.......
luv t

how is little Red? Hope he is settling in well by now

All good, he is a darling. Leg healing well n he is raring to go............but not yet

I give Red my cuddle and my love, he is such a darling always giving little kisses. xx

How is this most handsome baby getting on? xxxx

How you diddling today Red?
Fine thank you, just snoozing................Blossoms giving me a cuddle, lucky me.

Red gets my cuddle today xxxx

How's red getting on with his healing process?

Saw you today you gorgeous boy, thanks for your lovely waggy tail and for hopping over to greet me despite your poor leg!
You will make someone's a very happy home and then you will receive all the cuddles you deserve. xxxx

Such a beautiful boy. Your name is perfect and everytime I see your picture, I think : I love you! I want you! (Like if you agree!)
Big cuddles for you today.

Awwwww glad to hear you're feeling better gorgeous boy. You have been in good hands :) big hugs for you sweetheart xxxxxxx

Everything crossed that he's over the worst and things continue to improve for him. xxx

Thanks Abbs104 - yes he is much better today - back to his usual happy wagging tail self! Another trip to the vets though just to make sure! x

Hi Ruth, hope Red is on the mend and getting stronger day by day, such a beautiful boy xxx

Poor lad, hope he will soon be feeling better. xxxx

All the very best to you on a speedy recovery.
You are in great hands with Andre and Ruth.
Love The New Icemaid Clan xx

Aww Red your such a beautiful boy, you dont derserve this, hope your feeling much better by the end of today - and stay off that leg. luv t & 3

Hoping Red gets better very soon.

Fingers crossed for Red n hope you both get to sleep this eve!!! xxx

Poor Red was very sick last night and this morning, passing a lot of blood too with an upset tum. He has been on a drip today and had loads of injections with Andre and seems a bit brighter. He is being admitted again tomorrow for another drip and hopefully he will bounce back very soon. x

Hope Red gets better soon. X

Hopa all goes ok at the vets and you get better soon xxxx

Such a handsome dog. Get well soon. xxx

Hi Deb - yes I have a home lined up for him when he is better :-)

Oh my goodness, what a handsome little man. I'm not surprised you jumped at fostering him, despite being the angel that you are Ruth, who could resist those beautiful eyes! Happy Birthday Red. Mand, Gent & Emily xxx

Happy Birthday to beautiful Red, hope it won't be long before he is back on four paws. Handsome boy and fab name! xxx

Happy birthday Red, hope your leg heals quickly xxxx

Happy Birthday Red. You are a gorgeous lad and very lucky to have Auntie Ruth looking after you. Love from Linda, Paul and the girls xxxx

Happy Birthday Red, you are SOOOOOO handsome, hope all is going well with you leg, hope to visit again soon to munch you. Have a lovely day am sure Auntie Ruth will spoil you rotten xxxx

It feels like the animal hospital here at the moment with Fern and Kylie post op. Also I have a nervous boy called Norris who was castrated yesterday who belongs to Bob who owns the kennels and of course those of you who have been to the kennels recently, I am fostering a lovely boy called Red.

He fell on the track on 24th April and broke his leg and I happened to be at the vets when they were asking for a foster home. He is not officially in the Trust however as it is his Birthday today I thought I would put him on to show how gorgeous he is!
