as i sit looking at my 2 11yr old greys and my 2 younger ones it breaks my heart to look at this old boy i would go to the end of the world rather than give any of them up life is a balancing act and you just have to adjust accordingly sometimes i would like more room on the sofa but what a small price to pay. Ruth introduced us to these lovely dogs 12 years ago and we have never looked back your forever home is there beautiful just you wait and see xxx

Well Lexi has been with us coming up to a week on saturday. It feels like she has been with us forever. She has settled so well, is a dream to walk. Mostly she is so loving and loves to be fussed and loves to be around us as we love being around her. She follows my daughter around, it’s so lovely to watch them. She is brilliant with my 15 month old son she is so gentle around him. She had started to get excited when she sees us coming down in the mornings. Her rail now wags and she hops about!. She doesn’t venture very far away from us in the garden!. She is still in restricted exercise because of her leg but will still hop around with excitement now. Not much has changed on the sleeping side! She sleeps a lot still!!!! Also she is a bit of a fair weather garden visitor! If it’s raining last thing before bed she takes some persuading to go out!. Then once her business is done she is back in before me. What a dream she is we are so so lucky and thank you for letting us have her. Loves from us and Lexi xxx

Rory
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I agree with all of the below and sat in tears now after reading helenanddave's comment saying Kara is resting her head on Rory to comfort him just so so sad and makes me look at our boy who is sitting snuggled on a sofa in a holiday cottage in the lakes with us as we can't bare to be without him he comes with us, and makes me think just how lucky all of our pooches are. The only consolation is that these 2 have each other but I pray for a quick home for them. It's awful to think of any of them in kennels (even though daybreaks is wonderful and they are very lucky to be cared for there) as a home is what they all deserve, but these older hounds break my heart when I think of them back at kennels. Somebody wonderful will have them. Hugs and kisses to you both xxx

I agree it's very sad that these two lovelies have been returned, but let's concentrate on finding them a new home

Hey Florence, I remember that plan you made when we were about to go to the run a while ago. It was when you said I bring trousers and you bring a spade. I think I might use this idea on Saturday so I can get out of doing my pamper. Just bring that spade and we are set. Let’s build a tunnel to Ward End Park where all the squirrels are ha! Barney Xx

Its very rare I comment when a poor hound finds itself back at kennels but to return such two beauties as Rory and Kara,especially poor Rory at nearly 10 sounds far too convenient to me and is very sad. When we adopted our first grey Don in 2008 a week later I was made redundant. We had to tighten the belt a bit but it gave me time to get Don settled down in his new home and time for us to become best friends for life.At no point did we consider returning him and when I returned to work it was part time as this was best for Don.No matter what comes along in life there is always a way round problems. We hope Rory and Kara are rehomed asap by kind people who won't give up on them no matter what Axx

It's such a shame for any returned Grey's,they just get used to their home then back to the Kennals they go.I know people's surcumstances change but surley'put the Dog 1st',there is always a solution if you can be bothered to put yourself out a bit.Since we've had our Nifty we've had to change our routine,Mark works shirts at at JLR so every week is different for Nifty and he's been great apart from when Mark's on nights (he can't understand why Mark's in bed during the day and he's in the Kitchen so Mark's solution he's sleeps on the sofa with Nifty next to him.In POINT put yourself out these great hounds deserve it rant over x

Well said Jembob and Shanishoo, I agree totally. If the owners think so little of these two beauties they can return them this way then Rory and Kara are better off going to someone that will love and care for them the way they deserve. It's just appalling xx

I know how you feel - Casey had a bad night and I ended up sleeping on the sofa next to him. It's not made for people my size to sleep on so I have a bit of a stiff neck this morning. What we do for our hounds eh?

Super tired today because this one decided to try and take her pyjamas off in the middle of the night resulting in tangled legs and the greyhound screech of death (very scary in the middle of the night) then needed lots of love to get over it....gotta love her though :-).

Well said Jembob, all too often the phrase "due to work commitments" usually equates to "can't be bothered anymore". Just my opinion but it makes me so angry and sad to see these beautiful hounds dismissed so easily. Xxxxx
