Villa

What a pleasure it was to groom Villa. Sometimes hounds aren't keen on having their teeth cleaned but this lovely boy relished it and he has a great set of gnashers. He enjoys his walks and is very good on the lead xxx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Thanks so much to everyone who came in to help at the kennels on a Bank Holiday. :)) We are very grateful. Xxx The weather wasn't too bad at all, everyone enjoyed their walks and no one got wet!! :))) Yesterday, Ruth and the volunteers swapped the kitchens over...so the people's kitchen is now the dog kitchen. It's more convenient and it's easier to keep an eye on the dogs during feeding time. My Skippy wasn't very impressed! Despite there being beds in several places, there just wasn't one in its normal place and he kept flitting between the two kitchens....we all know how much Greyhounds like their routine. Bless him. Xxx xxx Great to see Cain reserved today. :)) Xxx Thanks so much to Kitty's family for taking little Hilda out for the day, she had a lovely time. Xx Such a happy little girl. Xxx Xxx

Thanks so much to Kitty and her family for taking Hilda out today. She is a lovely little girl but is not so happy in the Kennels. She really needs a forever home. I am sure she would settle very quickly. Xx

Took the lovely Hilda to Brueton Park today. She was very excited to be going out and jumped straight in the car and settled down. Once at the park Hilda was golden. She wasn't fazed by other dogs, big or small, and looked for fuss from everyone we passed. She did bark but this was when she saw another dog playing fetch with a ball and she wanted to join in. The other dog promptly brought his ball over to her for her to play. We ventured into Solihull and again she behaved impeccably. She is a darling girl with such a lot of love to give and it was a pleasure to take her out. I think we tired her out though as she jumped straight back into the car and settled down for a nap. Here's hoping she finds her forever home soon xx

Fox
I’m Homed
I took the lovely Fox to Elmdon Park on Friday. He is such a gentle soul. He stood calmly to be leaded up and off we went. I walk along the A45 to the park. This is obviously a very busy road and the traffic did spook him a bit. Once in the park though, he really relaxed and he trotted along happily. We met lots of small dogs and there was no reaction. If anything, I think he was a bit scared of them barking at him! He is a really sweet boy and extremely handsome with all his white flecks. He was a pleasure to take out xx

And today it turned green! Good luck Sasha! You are going to be spoilt! We helped her into the car and this confident happy girl suddenly became frightened.... her tail went straight between her legs as though to say heck, what is happening..... your heart breaks for them as they are leaving the environment that they have known - but reassured that you know they will soon learn their new life and hopefully love it!

Fox
I’m Homed
I'm a little bit surprised that this lad hasn't been snapped up by now. Not just for his snowflake coat, a wonderful talking point on his walks.He met my Belle and Sammy yesterday in a very calm gentlemanly manner. His laidback friendlyness reminded me of my dear Paddy. I feel certain Fox will make a wonderful addition to any family, I hope he doesn't have to wait too long xx

Rob, so sorry to hear Penny had a trip to vets this week. 🙁 None of mine are keen on vet trips either! Hope she will soon feel better. Xxx What a lovely update on how she is settling in with you and your family. It's obvious how much you all adore her. She is a very lucky girl! :))) Xxx

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Little update on Penny. Just over 9 and 1/2 weeks since her gotchya day. It has been a magical experience. The love she shows to all the family is cute. Her enjoyment of bouncing round is crazy but fun. Safe to say she doesn't like the vets much... Unfortunately she had to go to James Horner Vets yesterday as she fractured her nail 2 days ago. Blood everywhere which we managed for a day but she then caught it again and the blood was even worse. Vets were great and clipped her nail (Penny HATED that along with the clotting agent for the bleeding) She is now on medication for pain relief and antibiotics for any infection. But overall she was a massive superstar with her visit. She is now a good ol' 33kg from 29kg when we first had her. I can't fault or regret having this little girl, she is just so good! And I'm super proud of my family for making the decision to give her a new home too. Toys - in the living room, bedroom and garden!
