Beth (Bea) has settled really quickly and brings so much joy. She loves going to training on Saturdays to meet all her new friends. I hope to be able to bring her along to the RGT show in October.

Banger

Banger had a great day yesterday and sat with me watching the Jan Fennel video we just bought. He actually removed it from the door before I could get to it but he was most likely going to put it in the player by himself and sit cross pawed with a glass of Coke knowing him!!!! We want for a walk yesterday and bumped into a dog called Tom Tom who lives just down the road. Banger got on fine with him as he seems to do with all dogs. I left him on his own for an hour and sat in the car outside just in case he kicked off. He was quite good but did start singing for the last 15 minutes. I have to say, he's no Gary Barlow!!!

Toney
I’m Homed
Just an update on toney, he is still being a good lad for us ie sleeping at night and going to the loo outside. Getting on very well with ripple, no arguing and looking at the pair of them now they are asleep in their beds in the same position facing the same way like twins. He saw some ducks down the canal the other day and decided it was a good game to walk up and bounce at them to see how many he could make jump back into the water. He does seem to prefer big dogs better than small ones when we are out on our walks, he tends to growl at the small ones especially whilst we are talking to their owners but soon stops when told no. He does like to look at those naughty things called CATS but after a couple of no's and come on toney he gets on with the walk, it might be a different matter if and when we see one run so with keep you posted.

Hi Lin I am so sorry for your loss, a lot of us have gone through it, and it is so heart wrenching, I actually live on the outskirts of stratford upon avon ! And the kennels are only 30 mins away, why don't you go along and meet dusty, and the others, dusty is a lovely girl beautiful with a lovely nature, she will be snapped up as she has everything going for her, but I would recommend you visit the kennels , take your lurcher with you as sometimes you look on the website and read about a dog and think it could be the one and when you get to the kennels another one who you had not even considered steals your heart, or your lurcher may just pick the one !!! If you are in stratford on the 31st we have a BBQ event taking place, you would be very welcome to pop along ( see events page ) I would really recommend that you give Ruth or Kate a call at the kennels and have a chat to them, I would not think that getting a home check would be a problem, kind regards Michelle

Good to hear Prince slept through the night. Do hope the more dogs he meets the better he will be with them. I used to play games with Twiggy in the garden, including a bit of agility work! Helped to keep her occupied and wear her out! Xxx
