Stanley
Over the Rainbow Bridge
So much for a party - Stanley hurt his foot again or stepped funny - wonder if he is getting rheumatism? His right front paw although he let Tim bath it for him. Tim getting some tablets from vets which he had last time which helped. Semi ran to greet me so can't be too bad. His sister Gemma near enough gets her nose in my trouser pockets. Doesn't stop him barking though. Axx

Basil
I’m Homed
Dear Ruth, I will always remember your words of comfort when we lost our angel Mia on Friday, March 6th, 2015. A date which will forever remain etched in my memory as one of the most painful days of my life. Now it's my turn to do the same for you as you prepare to send the gorgeous Basil on his final journey. Phil and I know exactly what you are going through to day, and what is to come in the aftermath. It hurts so, so much. Just remember that you did everything you could for him, all of his life and right up to this final unselfish act. If only every dog could experience what he has experienced, thanks to you. I am not the most religious person, but as part of my healing process for Mia I researched some quotations offering comfort to those who have loved and lost a dog. There are many, but I really like this one.... “God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.” by Billy Graham I love this as I like to believe that one day you with Basil again and we with Mia, and all of us who have loved and lost will be reunited with our beloved greyhounds. Much love to you, Thinking of you xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cadbury
I’m Homed
Oh ....if only we all had a crystal ball !!! Adopting a greyhound is very rarely easy. Thank you Lisaestelle, for admitting that you may have been at fault as well !! When we re-homed Davey, just over two years ago, he was at the last chance saloon. He is very dominant, and very food orientated. But, we have learnt to read his body language, and predict his reactions. He can still be a real pain in the arse, but we know he will never change !!! So, we have to accept him as he is. He can be the most sweet boy...but at times...our worst nightmare. Please, be understanding...and keep us updated on how Cadbury is doing.X.

It is very true it is easy to judge we had Cadbury for a long time and was heart broken when we had to return him. After reflection we decided that we were partly to blame for his return and we could have tried harder, but this is not always the way and you have to consider the grey and what's best for him or her. It may be that returning g is the best. On a happy note on a happy note we have been so heart broken we have took Cadbury back and he is happy with his girls and so far every thing is good. We are takin one day at a time. I'm sure Podge will find the right owner and sofa for him very soon it can just take a little time but when the right one comes along it will be forever xx

I agree with Ruth it is a very difficult time if you have to return a hound, for what ever reason, its not for us to judge the reason why ( we may not agree ) just that it is in the best interest of the hound and owners at that time . Ever hound has a special sofa with there name on xx
