Hi Caro. Just wondered which technique you used with Lottie. Milly is a nightmare if we see a cat/squirrel/rabbit and would like to calm her down.

Thanks so much Mary and John. She sounds very lovely and I will keep in touch if that's ok, to see how she gets on. I hope she settles in and a super sofa is on the horizon for her very soon. Claire. X

Dear Emma and family, I was really saddened to read about Frankie. It's heart breaking to lose a special friend like this and I'm sure you are all terribly upset. There is nothing I can say that will make it any better but please take comfort in knowing what a special time she had with you and how much love she received from you all.

A week ago today, my heart was broken completely when we had to say goodbye to our beloved little girl Frankie. She had been poorly over Xmas with protein losing enteropathy caused by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). With the wonderful care of Your Vet Solihull and Willows, they managed to stabilise her, to the point where she had increased her weight, her bloods were fine, and we were reducing her meds with a view to her coming off them altogether. The previous week she was being sniffy about her food, then over the weekend she had sickness and diarrhoea so we took her to the vets and tried some different meds, and after briefly perking up a bit on Mon she went rapidly downhill. Ultrasound showed that her insides were in a mess, and that it was either a massive flare up of IBD that she would be unlikely to recover from, or alimentary lymphoma. Either way things weren’t looking good. We did the only thing we could and, although it broke our hearts, we let her go. She was surrounded by her family and as much love as a little greyhound could ever want, and we talked to her and cuddled her as she slipped away. I promised her she would stay with us forever and now she’s back home from Heart Of England, I can keep that promise to her always. We may only have had her for 3 ½ years but we gave her a lifetimes worth of love and she repaid it back ten-fold. Sleep tight sweetheart xxx

Well it's just over a week since Joyce's visit and Lottie continues to improve, the rabbits on park will always be a challenge (they disappeared completely when Joyce came!!!) but most of the time we get by them with pointy ears only and no launching. Lottie is so much more relaxed on walks now and will even happily leave the house behind me instead of dragging me through the door. At the risk of increasing Joyce's work load I would seriously recommend this training. None of this training has involved any raised voices or actually treats, it's just bringing the pack mentality back, a language all our dogs understand.

Thanks for the kind comments. Benny is improving every day. He's such a good boy and his eyes are changing now . They have a little bit of sparkle and he actually looks at me now. Still loving his food and walks. Vets tomorrow !

I'm sure Benny will be fine. He just needs some time to settle into his new world. When we first had Lucy, she could be a bit nervy and flashed the sad, unsure eyes at people, while hiding behind us. A few years later and she now goes up to people happily, attempting to mug them for treats on occasion and is so uncertain of herself that she shouted at Andy when he dared sit on the sofa with her earlier (and is why she is now sulking on the floor!). Benny will find his paws with his new family to guide him and I'm sure all will be well. TLC will soon turn the light in his eyes on and he is a gorgeous little lad. I really enjoyed walking him a couple of weeks ago. Onwards and upwards one day at a time; you'll get there. He probably will try to melt into the wall at the vets, Lucy still does 5 years on... All the best!
