Breeze (Rita)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
To the vets for first bandage change vet seemed happy with tail, as we were getting ready to go she wagged it so hard she caught sight of it behind her grabbed it and pulled bandage off!!! So vet put darker bandage on with hopes she wont see it as easily. After vet we called on lovely lady who makes coats, for a measure for new jackets for both, They loved the doggy cookies she had been baking. Xxx

Sending lots of love to you all. Hope she heals well & I'm sure she'll be back to her loving self very soon. I know how you feel.....Orla was pushing the door to get from 1 room in to another & managed to get Bob's tail caught in the door hinge side as the door shut. Blood everywhere! I did manage to get it to heal without amputation, but it was a hard time for us all. I know a couple of Greys with a short tail & it makes no difference....she'll be fine! I'll pop up & see you soon xxx

Sending hugs to both you and Breeze because it sounds like you are both in need. Breeze will probably get over this before you at a guess.... you did your best for her and plenty of greys live very happy lives with short tails. It's just us owners that feel bad I guess. Please don't beat yourself up, even though I am sure I'd be the same. When I read tail tales, I always think 'there but for the grace of God...' because one of mine has such a waggy tail and thwacks it around so much it sometimes makes me wince. I've been lucky so far, but there is no rhyme nor reason to these things. You are very blessed to have a very happy girlie hound in your life and once she is over the op, she will be back to her normal self I am pretty sure. xxxx

Mel
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Mel was very excited to go off to the park with Laddie today! He really is a super dog, his tail never stops wagging and he has a lovely temperament. He has happily shared his kennel first with Solo and then Holly until they went off to their forever homes....must be his turn next! Thanks so much to Norman for taking him and Laddie out for a change of scenery today. Xxx

We hope your tail gets better soon. Ele ripped her tail open on a rose bush a few years ago and it took several visits to the vets,some stitches and plenty of nursing to heal. We send you our love for a fast recovery and an electronic cuddle for now! A & P Ele and Paddy xx

Brae
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Tash & John, Skip occasionally wakes us up in the night barking, usually because he can hear foxes in the garden. I thank him for letting me know they are there and ask him to go back to bed...this is something I learnt when I attended a weekend training course with Tony Knight when he visited the kennels last year. It really does work for us; once Skip has told us about the potential danger outside and is happy we have acknowledged his warning he gets back into bed and I tuck him in with his favourite toy! Hope Brae will soon settle again. Kate Xxx

Mel
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Mel has today been out and about in Brueton Park. He showed quiet curiousity towards other breeds of dogs but displayed no aggression whatsoever. He travelled well in the Trust Van with Laddie and they interacted together perfectly. Having seen this I'm sure he would have no problem living with other greyhounds. He walks sensibly on the lead and although arriving at Daybreaks quite late in life at 7 years of age and having fathered 4 offspring this lovely gentle dog is more than ready to settle into his forever home.
