It is a year today since Joe went to pick up Joey from Ruth's and came back with another as well! Now Joey has gone and 'bogof' as my sister calls her (Foxy) is now the head of our new pack and much loved. But it is Joey who I am thinking about today and why I have tears in my eyes. I miss being mugged for cuddles by 'the black paw' which used to wave at me every time I walked past him. Such a fabulous boy who reminded me that when we take in an old unwanted dog, it is not just the dog who wins. Sleep tight my beauty xx

So sorry for your loss and for the fact you didn't have Joey for as long as you might have wanted. What counts is that he will have had a fabulous life with you and been a treasured member of your family during this time. xx

Run free beautiful boy. Much love to your family. X

Thanks to all for your good wishes. We loved him so much even though he had not been with us very long and he has left a large Joey shaped hole in our lives xx

Thinking of you all at this sad time. Run free Joey.

Love to the family. Sorry to read of your loss.

Run free Joey xxxxxx

It is with great sadness that I heard Joey went to Rainbow Bridge yesterday after his short battle with bone cancer.
Run free fella.... much love to Jane and Joe xxxx

Oh, I must have missed the some of the previous comments for Joey but I am sending best wishes to you all.

Glad to hear the medication is helping your lovely Joey. I do hope he will still feel well when you go on holiday. xxx

Thank you again for all your good wishes. We are completely heartbroken but still getting daily joy from our beautiful boy who is a real character and cuddle monster. His pain relief is currently very effective and we are hoping he will still be well in two weeks when we are off to Padstow again. I will be forever thankful to Ruth for allowing us to rehome him, I just wish he could have been with us for years instead of months. J+J xx

Such sad news for Joey; thinking of you all. xxx

ah bless him & his precious owners,fingers crossed.x

I have just had some devastating news that Joey has been diagnosed with bone cancer. His owners are going to keep him as comfortable as they can and my love goes out to them. xxxx

Wonderful xxxxx

Yay joey has been rehomed

Thank you again for all your good wishes. Joey has now come back from his holidays in Padstow where he had a lovely time. He met lots of new friends, went on some lovely walks and particularly enjoyed raiding the bread bin and eating all the contents! He has put on some weight and his coat is getting lovely and shiny now. He loves fuss and being brushed. I spent some of the holiday cleaning blood from the walls where he had been wagging a bit too hard! Love from Jane, Joe, Gypsy, Iris, Joey and Foxy xx

hi how is Joey settling in, and has he put on any weight ( i bet he has ) wishing you all the best love Caz & Max xx

Im so glad joey now has a loving new home.i was shocked and saddened by his photo and everyone I showed it too felt the same.i no time doesn't always allow but surely the rehoming greys should continue to be monitored at least annually to make sure all is still ok?maybe this is done I'm not sure as I only had mine in oct.glad joey has a new home though

aww sweetie

Well, Joey has now been with us for two days and is settling in very well. He is quite thin but very waggy tailed and loves a fuss. We are having to re-learn that all edibles must be kept out of reach, he is a very tall dog and managed to snaffle some Toblerone from the back of the kitchen work surface! Just licked it though so no harm done. Yes he will have lots of naughty treats in Padstow and lots of lovely walks with his new sister Iris. Thanks for all your good wishes xx

Every time I see dogs returned like Joey I can't help but think how very lucky they are to have the kennels, Ruth and such wonderful volunteers to come back to. Too many dogs don't even have that. Good luck Joey and have a pasty for me.

Good luck to Joey, hope he settles in his new home. Glad he won't have to be kenneled xxxx

Poor boy, so glad he has got a home and a nice holiday coming up xxx

have a great holiday in padstow joey, u seem like you really deserve it, sending good luck in finding a loving home. ann and ellie-may.xxx

I met the lovely Joey briefly yesterday, he is gorgeous. Very placid & loves a cuddle. Looking at his rehoming pic hes gonna look amazing in no time at all. Padstow....lucky lad, hope all goes well for you Joe & Jane. luv t

Hope you all have a great holiday and hope to see a photo of a chubbier Joey soon! xx

Look forward to hearing how he gets on - are a few cream teas in Padstow on the menu? Mand x

it is very difficult not to make a judgemental comment having seen his picture. Just glad he is back where he can be checked over and hopefully gain weight.what a different picture to the first one on the website.
I am sure he will enjoy a week at the seaside with Jane and Joe

Goodness, he doesn't have much meat on him does he? Hopefully a bit of sea air and some well deserved spoiling will do him the world of good. Good luck Joey - be good! Em x

Joey arrived yesterday with his owner who was very uspet to leave him. I was so saddened to see how skinny he was. I took him home with me and he has gone straight out to the lovely Jane and Joe on trial. He is off to Padstow on holiday at the weekend and I know he will be spoilt rotton!

Wonderful news! Wishing you all lots of lovely times together. xxx

Hi Tracey, thank you so much! looks like we are picking him up on Tuesday and he will be coming on holiday with us at the end of the week! Very excited and really hope he settles with us and our two girlies. Joe and Jane x

Hi Joe & Jane, I've been in touch with Ruth and as your very keen to have him, I'm more than happy to not foster him!! Hope he loves you lots, best wishes
tracey

I'm not sure from previous posts whether T is offering Joey a permanent home or foster - we are interested in offering him a permanent home as he is just what we have been looking for, but don't want to tread on anybody's toes. Ruth, we will be in touch
Joe and Jane x

T - you know you want to...... looks like he will be H-friendly too from that photo..... x

does hubby know?

So I shall come down on Tues and buy my bbqparty tickets and collect a Joey whislt I'm there you mean??????? Yes please!!
luv t

Poor lad xxxx must be so hard to leave his home of 5 years xxxx really hope you find somewhere quickly xxxx

oh darlin. don't worry. Auntie Ruthie will look after you until you find a new home. (I'm sure it won't be long) :) x

I second that..... go on T...... he is hopefully arriving on Tuesday and I desperately don't want him to go into kennels so he would be coming home with me.... however I still have Red with his leg in plaster.... x

Yes, you should "look after" him ;-) 3 is as easy as 2...x

Dare I look after this boy.........?

oh no this is too sad for Joey and for his family, i hope someone will look past his age and offer him the home he deserves for his autumn years....much love to him. xxxx

So sad for Joey. xxx

This is very sad to hear, I do hope that Joey finds a home very soon.

I paniced when I saw the name Joey - how sad for the poor boy :( Hope he finds a home soon xx

This is very very sad for the poor boy hopefully he will find a new loving home very soon.

Joey will not be staying at Daybreaks as, coming up to 10 years old, I feel he would stress being in the kennels after being in a home for 5 years. If you think you could offer him a home, please let me know.
