My darling boy, I am so pleased you are having fun. I guess Mummy has spoilt you too much & should have said that you are not always keen to go out in the rain, let alone walk in puddles!! Heaven forbid!! I do hope you have been kept warm with a nice fleece on whilst out. I am so proud of you Henry for coping with these difficult circumstances. Mel is also being a brave soldier and was able to have his stitches out today. Archie hasn't been completely comfortable due to his back legs being so weak so we are increasing the pain meds a little. Your grandmother has not been good either so I had a meeting with her GP and district nurses this week. Like Archie, we are all trying to keep her comfortable. It is very difficult situation. I think you need to explain to your hosts that you are used to sleeping either with Mummy in her bed or in a bed next to hers. Maybe they could consider bringing you upstairs even if they dont want to share their bed with a furry child!! You have to try to understand that not everyone does. Our bed is very lonely without you although I have now got more room to move!! I am thinking about you every day sweetheart & will come to visit you on your return. Keep being the beautifully behaved boy that you are & enjoy the rest of your stay. All our love & hugs, Mummy, Mel & Archie xxxxxxxxxx

You are very welcome Nes...anytime. It's horrible when they are ill...our friends dog just got skinny very quickly and then stopped eating, they said that was her kidneys. I think if they are diagnosed early, then you can help them a bit more. Renal supplements are definitely a good idea. Take care, and keep us posted. I will ask my friend for more info and get back to you as well. Sending cuddles Suzies way. Can you get her to eat anything? Xxx

Good Morning Daybreaks, Henry here, I was too tired to post last night so I thought I'd update you on my mini break this morning. My hosts are learning quickly that I don't like to get my fawn paws dirty. They appeared quite amused that I should skip over the puddles on the tow path during our canal walk yesterday....what did they expect me to do! Also I have to ask, how many times must I move my bed into the middle of the kitchen before they realise that I don't want to sleep by the radiator....they're clearly not listening!! Not sure exactly what plans we have for today however I think they are getting the message that my preferred mode of transport is 4 wheels so hopefully a trip out will be on the cards. This will mean that if I am needed to 'interview' prospective 'forever parents' I am only a phone call away. Love to you all Henry x P.S. Just between you and me, one thing my hosts have got right is that I do enjoy my medication wrapped in a few pieces of ham......do you think they'd get me 'honey roast' or is that pushing it...LOL

Oh we wouldn't dream of taking a penny for it! We can't do any more for Evi now sadly, so it would be lovely to think there is something, however small, we can do to help another greyhound. If you wish to donate to Daybreaks, then of course that would be wonderful. I will package everything up and give it Ruth when we see her on Wednesday. I hope some of it comes in useful. We will be following Suzie's progress, so please keep us posted! xx

Thank you again Cinders for your advice. I would be glad to take you up on your offer of the renal supplements etc. that you have, but I would like to pay you for it or make a donation to Ruth for Daybreaks. I couldn't accept it otherwise as I know it's expensive. I have just collected a bag of Royal Canin renal food today to get her started and she has eaten it no problem mixed in with her burns for now, and slowly increased over the next few weeks. I think Suzie has been diagnosed quite early, so we hope we can extend her life a little bit. Thanks again for valuable advice. XX
