I took Rory out for a walk along the canals and through some woodland today. When I went to collect him, I heard him before I saw him! However, once he was out of his kennel, I did not hear a peep from him. He walked beautifully and was just so happy to be out and about. He met (and scared off) some ducks but wasn't bothered by the other dogs, cyclists and runners on the canal. He travelled well and was great fun to be with. Please don't be put off by now vocal he is in his kennel, he just wants to be part of the action. Another handsome black boy who will make a great companion x

Just been out for a walk with Florence! It was great. Oh yeah you know that weird bottle thing with a little bowl on the top it works! I actually drank out of it. That made my family proud. Don’t know why but it has. Barney Xx

Well, hello everyone. This is my formal request to be returned to the kennels. Yesterday was my birthday and shock horror my mom forgot. How could she? You all know how she makes a big fuss when it's a birthday or gotcha day. So here I go on my rant: If she had changed the calendar it would have shown my birthday. What is her excuse.......My head is all over the place thinking about my new Job. No excuse in my eyes, although she has gone and bought fishy fingers for our dinner tonight, with mashed tatoes and vegetables. Oh and she said that sometimes when she is at work we might be able to go with her, bribery I think. Flloydy signing off and waiting for dinner. Xxxxx

Not a day goes by when I don’t think about my beautiful gentle Lola. My first Greyhound she taught me so much and asked for so little in return. Today would have been her birthday so I will be remembering lots of happy times and remain constantly thankful to have had her in my life. Hope you are having fun up there Lollybobs. XXXX

Happy birthday for yesterday Peggy! Glad your mum remembered just in time before you & Star went off on your special mission in Birmingham City Centre. You seemed to enjoy your day & take the big city in your stride so Star tells me. You even had a pub lunch with my Yorkshire friends. I also loved my day with Uncle Paul & Lena at the Day Care Centre for the mature hounds & snoozed the day away. We was very glad to enjoy your special day with you! Love & licks Rolo, Star, Mike & Emma

Wow what a birthday to remember Peggy has had! Parades through Birmingham then pub for a spot of lunch with some new friends from Yorkshire and old friend Star with hoomom& dad Emma & Mike. Peggy has had so many treats today I have lost count! Didn’t stop her wanting her tea tonight though! Happy 4th Birthday to my special Peggles We think Lola must still be laughing up there having sent us Peggy! Love and kisses from mom & dad and big sis Lena xx.

Yes I think you are right to keep on walking, it worked for us with our Grey Dexter, who doesn't really like other dogs, we sought the advise of the fantastic Jim Greenwood as advised by Daybreaks, he told us to do the same, he said imagine if you are walking towards somebody and they slow down, you are then thinking why are they doing that, is there a problem?, and it's exactly the same for the dog, they think what's happening, do I need to react. Simple but when you think about it, it makes an awful lot of sense. Xxxx

Shaun
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I am so very sad to hear the news about Shaun and heartbroken For Helen and Andy. I know how much they adored their beautiful lad. I will always remember the day Andy came to the kennels to reserve him. He walked in and said "my wife wants me to reserve Shaun" and when I asked if he wanted to meet any of the other Greyhounds he said "No, she said it's got to be Shaun" I was so happy for him as he was a quiet black lad who had been waiting a while for his forever home. Taken too soon but what a truly happy, wonderful life he has had with them. Thinking of all the family tonight. Lots of love and God Bless lovely Shaun. Kate, Skip, Fletch and Lyra Xxxx
