Will (William)
I’m Homed
"Happy Boy" William has today enjoyed his first visit to Brueton Park in Solihull. During the entire walk his tail did not stop wagging. He was full of curiousity with everything he saw but behaved in a sensible way throughout. He walks well on the lead and on meeting larger other breeds face to face there were no problems at all. He has yet to meet smaller 'furries' at close quarters but did not display any aggression when walking past them. Any family looking for a greyhound bursting with happiness and enthusiasm for life will find William the perfect companion.

Solo has settled in brilliantly with the others, eaten up, well behaved, kisses you at every opportunity, loves the toys in the house to play with and has taken over carrying Joe Joe's cushions. First full day with us all and it is like she has been here forever. Picked another good one and the journey was worth it. Yes I am slightly mad to go to such extremes but they are worth it, so very, very worth it. Greyhounds addictive, whatever gave you that idea? x

Ash is awake!!!!! He got through the op & we are picking him up at 6 30pm today. The next few days are crucial though as he's hardly been eating anything & had lost some of the weight he had put on. So fingers crossed. OMG! Was worried there! Thank you all so much for all your kind words & good wishes x

Jed
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We have had the same thing with Rolo in the past. He didn't eat for about two weeks properly. He just refused everything. His kibble even if it was mixed with fish. We tried fish on its own, no joy, he also refused all biscuits & treats inc sausages. I contacted the suppliers of his food to see if they had changed the recipe but no, I even contacted the kennels he came from to see if they had had any kennel hounds do the same but no. I tried feeding him by hand but no. In the end I took him to our local vet who checked him over & said they could see nothing wrong with him and said he will eat when his hungry. He was fine in himself wanting to go for walks & to training but wouldn't eat the treats. We tried moving his bowl to a different location in the house as it was suggested he may have a fear or something may have happened which was causing him concern where he bowl was. Still no luck. Then someone bought a nature best wet food pack to training & we tried Rolo on it there. He eat it straight out of the packet. He did then promptly wee over his bed & my leg & the food smelt foul & was making me heave but it started his tastebuds going again. He then started eating small meals of burns with either the tray food or with raw mince. Then after buying a large bag of burns deciding he was now going to eat that he decided he preferred his old kibble if it had mince on it. So that is where we are today but he still goes through fazes of no wanting food. He needs a lot of encouragement to eat his meals. We were very worried too as Rolo is a slimmer greyhound but amazingly he did not lose very much weight at all whilst he was not eating. We think now in hindsight that maybe he was in pain through his neck or back as he was diagnosed shortly afterwards with a trapped nerve in his neck & spondalytis in the bottom of his spine. We take each day as it comes, feeding him up on good days & trying not to worry about the odd skipped meal. Not sure if this helps but hope Jed starts to enjoy food soon.
