Over the Rainbow Bridge
Tomorrow is Daisydogs third gotcha day. Neither of us can quite believe how quickly the time has gone! Today she came with me to the studio where I throw pots - and tomorrow she has a special invitation to a friends birthday party so will be wearing her party collar! Daisydog has blossomed at the seaside and is often seen striding out along the prom in one of her many coats - she is much loved and a very special girl. Daisydog adds ' it's been a dream three years - my own wardrobe, a big basket full of fluffies, a cupboard in the kitchen with my name on it, and a soft bed in every room! ' xx

Well Sarah Moo I can't believe it has been 2 years since I came to Daybreaks saw you, and took you home on a months trial, the rest is history, it seems like you have been with us forever. You are such a funny, cheeky bossy madam, we love you to bits. Have a happy 2nd Gotcha on trial day, and look forward to your proper offical Gotcha day in December. xxxxxxx

Please don't be too worried. When I re homed my lovely Willow I realised she was missing a toe. Fortunately her previous owner had been at the same vets. She lost hers as a result of a fractured toe. She has no problem whatsoever. Xxxxxx

Macca had a toe amputated last year after he broke it and it didn't mend properly. It took him a while to get used to it, but now you wouldn't know it had gone!

Our Mystic had a toe removed in July, he had a soft tissue injury which, despite numerous courses of antibiotics, would not heal, believe me we tried everything, the only solution was to remove the toe, he has coped really well and it hasnt affected his walking at all. I hope Charlotte feels better soon. X

oh dear poor Charlotte. I know there are few folk out there whose grey's have had toes amputated who can pass on their advice and experience. Hope the x-rays go OK and Charlotte is OK - sending best wishes Sam, Si, Robbie & Will xxx

it is almost a year now since we were allowed to take Charlotte home. She is brilliantly cute and also quite naughty. Everyone who meets Charlotte just adores her and she effects people so positively including the vet. I would like to ask a question a couple of weeks ago we noticed that she was limping could not see anything on or in her paws. after a couple of days I took her to the vet who could also not see anything but removed some very small piece from her paw. This did not improve so she had a minor operation on her paw. When I picked her up the vet mentioned to me that he is not sure what is going on. He explained to me that when he made the incision clear fluid come out of the pad with some blood. What concerned him was that about 30% of the fat in the pad was 'eaten away' and not clear if this may have affected the toe bone. Today following a check up the vet is not fully content with her progress so we will do a digital x-ray. Prior to potentially removing the toe. The vet has not given a diagnoses or understands what is happening Has any one come across something like this or knows what might be causing this. We will do what is best for Charlotte's health but also like to save her toe. Just a worry when even the vet does not know what is causing this or even what is happening.

I walked Poppy today. She was also very enthusiastic to be taken out of her kennel for her walk. Once we were out, she walked along with no silliness and was so gentle on her lead, it really was as if there was nothing on the lead. She's a gorgeous girl x J

Pablo
Over the Rainbow Bridge
This boy is lovely and playful and very shiny! When I got to kennels today, I went round to have a look at the residents and when I got to Pablo's kennel, he was lying comfortably on his bed with his head on his paws. He saw me and the end 6 inches of his tail started wagging pretty madly and eventually the rest of him joined in and he came over to say hello with much licking through the bars and jumping up. I got him ready for his walk later and he was very enthusiastic to be out. He is a little overexcited to begin with but settled and walked along well with Andy. He really is a happy little soul x J
