Hi Jeff, hope Carrie's claw is okay now? Your wording "I don't think anyone else would understand her like I do" really touched me. We adopted our beautiful 1st grey in March and the trust and understanding that built so quickly and deeply between 'Mom/Dad & Daughter' has amazed us. In spite of how much some of these lovely dogs have been through, they adapt so quickly it really is a privilege to have the pleasure and responsibility of living alongside and caring for our gorgeous girl; from whom we have learnt so much and as for cuddles & kisses we've received.... I've lost count! Big hugs to you all. T, J & R xxx

Couldn't agree more with 'michelleandbertie's' comment below. When we adopted Rosie, Kate gave us the best advice with her words "remember, time & patience". This beautiful little girl Ada, has endured injury and endless trips to the vets/specialist and surely the 'few hours owner' knew of her needs before choosing to adopt her?! Ada my little darling, you WILL get your forever home and we have all our fingers and paws crossed that next time will be the right family for you. You have been through so much that you are getting the biggest electronic hug we can possibly send to you precious. Lots of love T, J & R xxx

Sending my love to Jenny and her new owners, how terrible for everyone !! we had only had Bertie a very short time when he had to have one of his toes amputated, when the vet said the word amputate I was absolutely horrified I would rather have had my toe or even foot off rather than Berties !! so I cannot imagine how you must all feel 🙁 if its any consolation my moms greyhound Flossie broke her hock, ( before mom had her ) but she has fully recovered and runs around like a complete loon, has more stamina than my two put together and never has ( touch wood ) any problems at all !

I am very tired so I hope I dont sound too contraversial ! normally its Roy not me BUT........ how can anyonegive up on a dog only a few hours into thier 'forever home together' as said before most of us have a wobble or two, the enormaty of the responsibility ( especially with your first ) and then again with your second a different kind of worry ie will my first dog feel left outetc etc etc, but if you dont give it time then really its best that the dog does come back as they deserve patience, and love, its a whole new world for them and they need people who will be there and not give up too soon !

Well I know I said that Jed didn't do very much and was very chilled he seems to have taken your comments on board, two thermos flasks, two chewed lids, alarm clock and pair of rubber gloves on his bed this afternoon with a look on his face saying "nothing to do with me"!

How can you know in such a short time? iam sure we all have had a bit of a wobble after taking on a new dog, I remember just after we had our first sitting in tears cos I didnt think I would cope, he was very strong and keen on the lead, he came straight from racing kennels less than 2 weeks since he last raced. When we had number two wasnt as bad but couple of days in had the doubts again was it right to have two could they both get attention that they needed etc, but we are all here muddling along, doing the best we can.
