Ladysmith
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Said hello to Alan and Ladysmith on the Stratford Walk yesterday and saw her again today at kennels for a long nose stroke. Then Simon took her and Sammy on a walk while I sorted out Evie's paperwork and some more kibble. She really is a loving, affectionate girl.

Peggy
I’m Homed
Our Peggy has had a busy weekend. Saturday morning she went to training class as normal (she is learning really quickly) and on Saturday afternoon she went to her first roadshow at Melbicks. It was just for an hour to see how she would take to it. We were very pleased with her... ok she could hear the squeaky toys being tested in the pet shop and was very interested but she wasn't upset and greeted some of the Melbicks shoppers with her usual enthusiasm! She saw some smaller dogs too and was fine. On Sunday she went to her first greyhound walk at Stratford where she met some of her greyhound friends and also got up close and personal with a trainee guide dog puppy! She seemed to like the company on the walk and as usual she was very interested in everything that was going on..... a real tourist! She even stopped to try to help a lovely couple doing some work in their front garden and a man washing his car also caught her attention. He must have looked like he needed her help too! All in all a successful and busy weekend and tonight she's had some lovely dreams while we all chilled out! All in all a great weekend. Kisses from a very tired Peggy xxx

We took Snap on the Stratford Walk today and he was a very good boy. He travelled well in the car and enjoyed being with all his greyhound buddies. He didn't mind standing around beforehand and enjoyed walking at the front of the group. He has been with us for 24 hours and is doing brilliantly with his mealtimes, eye drops and letting us know when he wants to go into the back garden. He and Gigi are getting along nicely. He likes being with us especially in the kitchen and also in his bed when we are watching a film.

Grace (Diva)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We went to visit my mother in law today, and as we got out of the car we saw 2 greyhounds (and their owners!) going in to the bungalow 2 doors away. When we spoke to them we discovered one of the hounds was the lovely Diva - now Grace! She is looking very well and seems very happy with her fur brother who I think was called Monty. xx

Sammy
I’m Homed
What a splendid hound our Sammy is. He came for a walk with us yesterday and did get excited by the squirrels. Sammy likes to leap up when he sees a squirrel and at one point he leapt so high that the lead snapped him backwards, did a somersault and landed on his back. Only his pride was hurt and he kept all four paws firmly planted on terra firma for the rest of the walk. Lovely, friendly grey who gets on well with the other DB residents.

We've been thinking about you today Lucy. Hope it's going to go well for you and you had a good first night in your foster house me. You are such a loveable hound that I'm sure you will all want to make it permanent. Missed our big hug yesterday though 🙁

Good luck Pal. I'm sure that your foster family have fallen for you already. You are a special hound. We'll keep your favourite spot in our dining room free in case you ever need it!

Ladysmith
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Today we took Ladysmith for a day out at the Stratford walk. She travelled well in the car in the space Paddy left for her. She enjoyed herself walking with so many hounds and having so many treats. This little girl is real gem, no problems whatsoever with non greyhounds. There was even a guide dog puppy with us today on training who was very friendly to the greys. Ladysmith said hello in a friendly manner then carried on taking in all the sights and sounds. At the end of the walk although quiet tired the sausages and treats could not be ignored and were dispatched quickly yum yum! We then headed back to Daybreaks with two contented hounds. Whoever adopts this girl will be very lucky indeed,we could not fault her in anyway.An absolute pleasure to take out and very hard to put back into her kennel. If we were looking for another then she would be top of our list xx
