Absolutely heartbroken to see this. Thank you for giving Finn such a fantastic loving home. He was such a lovely boy, if a little complex, but you never gave up and gave him so much love and support. So unfair his stay with you was not as long as he deserved. Much love to you. Xxx

Dear Nicola, I am heart broken for you all to hear such sad news. I know how much you loved Finn. Xxx He was a special boy who needed lots of help when you took him home. With your love and patience he became a very happy boy. Xxx I know how it feels to lose them so suddenly after losing my lovely Fletcher in much the same way last year. Thinking of you all and sending lots of love. God Bless your beautiful Finn. Kate Xxx

All the boys and girls get my Gold Star clean kennel award today! On opening up this morning we were greeted by 2 blocks of happy hounds and clean kennels. Unusually we have lots of lovely girls waiting for their forever homes, leaving Rocky and Snowey feeling a bit outnumbered!! Have a great weekend everyone and hope to see some of you tomorrow at the Hounds Easter Parade. Xx

Finn (Trebles)

It is with disbelief that we have to share that we have lost Finn. For the first time ever he didn't want breakfast on Thursday morning and then declined during the day. When I took him to the vets, it never even crossed my mind that I would be returning home without him. A tumour. Devastated. Finn had a longer journey from kennel dog to settled pet than other greyhounds we've had and we were so proud of the dog he became. As the front cover of this year's calendar shows, he was handsome, happy and healthy (or so we thought). Two years with him in our family was not enough. Life is so cruel - he deserved a longer retirement. Our only solace is that he loved his life with us and we loved him. My shadow has gone but he is forever in my heart.

Poorly boy Alex. Admitted yesterday for ultrasound and endoscopy as he’s been so ill. It was found that he had a pocket of gas in his abdomen and a large amount of fluid was drained. Suggesting a blockage, he underwent surgery but nothing could be found. On discharge, he managed one wag of his tail and is now back home with me, tucked up and has a bagful of meds. Please pray he gets better. A MASSIVE THANK YOU to #fivelandsvets for doing the endoscopy free of charge x
