Cadbury

People please do not ignore this gorgeous fella. When i entered his kennel today he obviously felt that i needed a face wash as he licked me all over my face to make sure he had done a good job!!!!! Cadbury loves his cuddles and he was great with my hubby, Steve, He also felt that he hadnt washed his face this morning either, and proceeded to give him a facial also!!!! My hubby is bald and wears glasses so maybe thats what the men need to look like for Cadbury to fall in love with them......... So again please give this fab fella a chance as he really needs a forever home.

After a slight accident in which my shaggy rug was mistaken for grass we have had a great day, the rug is now upstairs!!(and all following incidents have taken place in the garden so lots of praise for those) Shell has had a lovely but rainy walk (glad we got the fleece waterproof coat), had a play with her fox toy and scoffed her dinner in about 5 seconds flat. She is now curled up under my feet having a nice snooze.

Hi Cindy. Most of us know the pain you are going through right now. Over the years we have lost seventeen dogs, and we currently have six, so we know what lies ahead, and believe me, it never gets any easier to bear. For me, the pain is both emotional and physical, and l always feel ill for weeks afterwards. Every time we lose one, we say that's it, no more dogs, we cannot keep putting ourselves through this much pain,but we know as long as we have room in our home...and in our hearts to give another dog the chance of a life...we will. l think that over the years we have cried enough tears to float Noah's Ark. The pain that you are both feeling will, over the next weeks and months, start to get easier. l still have the occasional bad day even now...but l also have days when l remember some little quirk that one of them had, or a funny thing that they did, and it makes me smile 🙂 Grieving is a natural process that we have to go through. There is a saying that goes something like this.......... " ln order to experience love....we also have to experience grief....the latter is unavoidable...they come together, hand in hand." l am sure that when you feel the time is right, you will take another dog into your lives....and Mia will approve. She has left her paw print on your hearts, and that can never be removed. Love to you both...and to little Evi. XXX.

Thank you so much all of you - I am overwhelmed you have taken the time out of your precious Sundays to be in touch with me over this. We are just reeling from shock, she was everything to us, along with her little greyhound sister Evi whom I still have to cherish and take care of. It just felt so right, our little family - Mum, Dad, and two greyhound girls. Mia was our first one too. Neither of us have spent a single night away from the two of them since we got them and very few evenings either - we could never bear to go on holiday and leave them with anyone, and we virtually always stayed in with them every evening as going out never compared with a night snuggling up with them. They were always upstairs in the bedroom and quite often Mia would climb onto the bed and snuggle up and take up all the room! I gave up a full time job and went to work part time so I could spend three whole afternoons a week plus weekends with them and giving them extra special walks on those days. I am so sorry I can't put into practice all the plans for her I had - she just loved foraging for her own food, even like bits of bread near the duck pond, so I was going to get some of the Easter treats from pets at home and hide them round the garden or house for an Easter Egg hunt. I know I can still do it for Evi and I will, I just wish Mia could do it too. But I'm sure you are right, I will have another one day and make our family complete again. Thank you so much for your words of support - it is getting me through all of this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Cinders, reading everyones posts they have really said it all, for me the loss of Charlie Dog after 13 years was devastating, I couldn't eat sleep or stop crying for weeks, I could not sit still or concentrate on anything, my husband wanted a break from getting another dog straight away, that was his way of coping but I couldn't face going into our house without Charlie being there, so after 4 weeks Roy caved in and said that he would consider having another dog, I won't bore you with the details but I searched the country looking for another Charlie, so silly to look back on now as clearly there was only ever going to be one Charlie !! eventually Roy came across Bertie at Daybreaks and as they say the rest is history .... soon after we had Blade. Daybreaks actually changed my life, I started to help out for a few hours on a Sunday at Daybreaks which has helped me enormously with getting over the feeling of pain, also Bertie and Blade have brought the house to life again with their funny ways and love, there will NEVER be another Charlie but as others have said I do take comfort that we gave Charlie a fabulous life, we talk about him all the time, he picture is my phone saver and I say hello to him every morning, three years on the pain is easier and I look at my two now and thank my lucky stars that I have them..... there isn't a remedy for a broken heart its just time and finding out whats the best way for you to cope, its a day by day thing really. Charlie is buried in our garden in his favourite spot , looking out over the fields where he can see all the bunniess he spent hours watching. Blade wears his collar and Bertie wears his coat and he lives on, he introduced me to greyhounds and through that daybreaks and through that he has helped so many others find homes like Flossie my moms, Martie my sister in laws and Sally my friends, what a fantastic legacy for such a wonderful hound x
