Jed
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Caro. Sorry to arrive late at the party, but I thought I'd add to what everyone else is saying too. We also have two Greys at home and just like Lola and Lena, they are totally different. Gent is my quiet boy; granted he loves his food, but he's not particularly interested in playing with toys and doesn't want to be cuddled - I say he's a 'thinker'. Emily on the other hand is a total cuddle-monster too, wants to be involved in whatever you're doing (all the time!!!!!) and often does the wall of death in our house when Daddy comes home from work! I guess if we'd had Emily first and then Gent, I may have wondered if he was unhappy as well. As everyone else says, like humans, they all have different personalities, some take longer to completely settle than others (I would say it was 12 months before Emily totally settled with us, whereas Gent seemed fine from day one). I can't deny though that while I was decorating a few weeks ago and our two went to my Mum and Dad's, I was more than a little put out when I popped over for a visit and neither of them could be bothered to even get up out of their beds when it was time for me to go!!!! What I had to tell myself was that they were happy, felt safe and secure and didn't feel the need to 'fly' from their environment and not that they were unhappy being with me. From your earlier messages, you sound like you're doing great, so don't be too hard on yourself, Jed may just need to take things at his own pace. Sounds like you've got a few suggestions involving training, which you may both enjoy together, but who knows, maybe you've just got a 'thinker' too! Mand x

Tessie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Tessie, I've logged on whilst Mom's not looking so I can check on my Daybreaks buddies and having seen your photos and read that you had 146 (wow!) races, I just have to send you the BIGGEST electronic cuddle today. Arriving somewhere new can be a little daunting, but please be assured that all the humans at Daybreaks are there to keep you safe, give you loads of cuddles and look after you whilst you wait for your new family to walk through the door. I know my Mom clicked on your details yesterday and went a little misty eyed, so I'm sure that you'll have that effect on lots of our two legged companions. Thinking of you, Rosie Po xx

Ada

Ada had a fabulous day! At her review at Nottingham it was felt she was doing so well she could be discharged from the care of East Midlands Referral Centre - yay! She still has several months of antibiotic cover as a precaution for her leg. She is allowed on short walks of up to 20 mins twice a day and can play with her toys to her hearts content without us worrying now! After her trip to Nottingham, I dropped her off to her foster home in Bromsgrove and she was shattered! Thanks to Maggie and Paul for fostering her whilst she waits to find that forever home out there somewhere........

Charlie
I’m Homed
Charlie went for a long countryside walk yesterday (1.5 hours) over fields, including stiles, woodland, including fallen trees and a bit of walking on the road. He was accompanied by MIsty and his two little friends, Rose the Lhasa Apso and Bert the spaniel. (I was there as well obviously, I wouldn't send them on their own, they'd get into all sorts of trouble!). He was a good as gold, negotiated all stiles with aplomb and didn't need to lifted over anything. He got on really well with his little friends and after the walk we repaired to Little Heath Garden Centre for a restorative coffee & cake, purely to socialise the dogs of course! Whilst there we met 2 Greys and their people from Hall Green RGT. They were very complimentary about how lovely Charlie was, Dog Mom was so proud! Incidentally if any one is out walking that way, Little Heath Garden Cente is very dog friendly, we were invited in and made to feel very welcome & offered water for the dogs. The coffee is Lavazza (my personal favourite, we'll go again!)

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Don't worry Tessie, a nice home will come along, you sound so much like Ripple (scared of everything) and she turned out to be the best behaved dog in the world, but she is still scared away from her house. Ripple thinks timid lady greys would make a perfect pet for quiet houses or where a more outgoing Grey is already in residence.

Toney
I’m Homed
Tony has had another busy day, this morning he went on a walk at Moira Furnace and saw several dogs and was very well behaved. He was very interested in three Labradors playing, I think he just wanted to join in, and he could not take his eyes of a horse. He has seen another stationary cat and he went into the sight hound stare, but that was all. He has had two reasonable meals today and is slowly learning to leave humans alone when they are eating, he seems very hungry but not that hungry for his own food! We went on a small walk this evening as Ripple has had to go back on the pain killers today, and Tony had a sniff nose to nose (through his mussel) at a small dog and then just wanted to carry on the walk. With some patience and training I think he will make an amazing pet, as he his very loving and very happy to be with people.

Hello everyone, I have been left for a couple of hours this week and I have been really good. I haven't made a mess or ripped anything up....I have to be good though because I have three big sisters who will tell on me if I'm not.
