Nellie is an adorable little girl - she had a very settled night and pottered about with mine before taking herself into the crate where she settled and was soon fast asleep. She ate some breakfast, had her tablets and once again took herself back into the duvet filled crate so I left her at home with Foxy.

Dex
I’m Homed
It is no secret that me and Mrs Jembob adore Dex, and given different circumstances would adopt him in a heartbeat. For a couple of weeks we have been trying to arrange for Dex to spend a few hours with us outside of the kennels. Saturday 18th turned out to be the day! After Saturday morning walks, we bundled Dex into our car and headed home. First things first, we took Dex into the back garden so that he could know where to commune with nature. The garden turned out to be a place where our Spartan (check out his race name!) guest would very much enjoy his first experiences of lead-free exploration. All plants and shrubs were inspected and marked and even our resident frogs were rudely awoken by a set of greyhound paws stomping through their tranquil pond. All amphibians have been accounted for but are now rather more cautious than before, as are The Squirrel Thief and Waldo the pigeon. Dex is definitely a hound for mincing around in the garden. We weren't sure whether Dex had had any licence to roam in his previous life so gave him unfettered access to house, garden and conservatory and left him to it. For the next two hours he didn't stop exploring, chasing and thoroughly enjoying himself. Perhaps it's the novelty of being out of the kennel, but we were both struck by Dex's interest in almost everything! In and out he went non-stop, but the highlight for me was when he saw the TV for the first time. The football wasn't up to much but Dex' reaction to the moving pictures was hilarious. He was completely baffled by it all! Finally he gave up and slumped by the door and finally took a rest. We also administered some well deserved fuss and biscuits. Before we headed back to HQ we did a quick tour of the woods adjacent to our house and he loved his time there too! An encounter with an unruly couple of mutts could have been difficult but Dex was very calm and impleccaby behaved. Sadly, we headed back to Daybreaks and Dex collapsed on his bed and while I thanked him for his company for the kday, our favorite hound headed off to the land of nod. I can't say that it was very easy to leave him there! You certainly know that Dex is in your home! He's great fun but will need a little help to fit into domestic life. He will however, make a wonderful family member and would brighten any home. I'm already looking forward to seeing my pal Dex next weekend!

I had the pleasure of taking Velma on the Stratford walk today.She travelled well in the car,Paddy didn't give her too much room but no problem,Velma just gently lowered herself down and snuggled up to Paddy on the journey. She loved the walk,so many new sights and sounds to take in. Velma is a very happy affectionate girl to everyone she meets. She loved the walk and whenever we stopped she would lean in true greyhound style and happily take all the fuss you can give.She met a small black fluffy dog along the way and this brought out her playful nature as she did a play bow and greeted the little dog in a cheeky playful way. After the walk she was very happy to meet all the dogs again and accept all the treats on offer. The lucky family who adopts Velma will be getting a wonderful addition to their home. She is a super happy loving little girl xx
