Paddy (Currently being called Henry), is actually on trial with us at the moment. He has taken quite quickly to home life with only a couple of wee's in the kitchen and 10 minuets of crying at bedtime on the first night. He is very affectionate and loves to be fussed, cuddled and really enjoys leaping around the lawn whilst nibbling my elbows!He does need a very firm hand when meeting a non-grey dog, i think that its the only thing that will require lots of training / exposure! So far so good! And with Katie not looking so grumpy, i'm hoping that he will be staying! xx I have put a couple of photos on my Flicker account at https://www.flickr.com/photos/123277979@N03/

l must say...l don't know what kind of owner would grass on her little boy so easily!!! l hope Up Up now realises what a snitch his mummy is...and as for your feeble attempt to plead mitigating circumstances....well...you could have at least said that it fell off the side...and landed in his mouth!!! l hope that you realise your baby will now be issued with a kitchen ASBO. Ooooh...you bad mummy!!! l think Duggie should sue for defamation of character. X.

Ok - it was Mr Uppy the Fox who did steal the loaf - but it was left on the side so it was for the taking! It beats Ada who is at ours at the moment who devours collars if left around!!!!!! Spare a thought for Foxy today tho - he is at Fivelands having x-rays - my poor fella 🙁

Bless his cottons. I just love his character even though it's not completely out in the open. I am really looking forward to seeing it develop. We spent all weekend straightening up the garden for him and making some nice shady places for him to retreat to when the sun gets overhead. Also put the cushions on the sun beds so he can work on his tan if he wants! Just need a cocktail bar and a waiter and he should be set!!

Jed
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Caro we have 2 polar opposite greyhound girls, Lola & Lena. Lola is very waggy tailed and gets excited to see us when we have been out but her affection at other times is all on her terms. She's got a superb temperament though, and is a PAT dog. Lena used to be much more reserved in the 'been out-return home' scenario, but in the evenings she is a total cuddle monster however she is a very keen, reactive, nervous dog when out walking. I don't know if you've ever tried it, but some simple clicker training might be a way of further engaging Jed's channels of communication with you. Just simple things like hand targetting to start with. It's really lit up Lena and she wags her tail much more since we've been doing it, basically once they get the hang of it they can have a lot of fun. With Lena though, her tail wagging means she is thinking, processing information and usually that she wants something! There's lots of stuff on Youtube on clicker training (Paul found the kikopup ones good I believe). Lola was very slow to start with and couldn't be bothered, but we persevered and now she loves it too, almost to the point of going over the top! Just a thought....... Linda, Paul Lola & Lena xx

Hi Jeff, how are your two lovely girls? Have they both reached their ideal weight? I know exactly what you mean when you feel sad when people don't stop to talk to them....Twiggy always wags her tail at everyone and looks so disappointed when they don't say Hello to her! Please give Carla and Carrie a hug from us. Xxx

We had the pleasure of taking Jerry to the dogs day out last weekend. He behaved perfectly in the car, got on well Jack, met different breeds (little and large) with no bother and walked so nicely on the lead I had to keep checking he was still there! This boy really is gorgeous. I am told he can be a bit stressed in kennels and a little noisy but he never made a peep when out so don't let this put you off. I haven't stopped thinking of this lovely lad since we saw him but we honestly don't have the space in our tiny house otherwise he wouldn't have gone back to the kennels! This boy will make a fantastic addition to any family. Good luck Jerry, you are a perfect boy and deserve a perfect home xx

Cathy , Ummmmm sorry Ruth but I have my suspicions that it was 'butter would not melt in my mouth' foxy who ate the loaf of bread , as I had to retrieve it from his jaws twice this morning, whilst Duggie just gave me a 'nothing to do with me look' !!!

Something Ive never really ever done with any dog thats chosen to be with me before is toothbrushing , but with greyhounds its so much fun , especially if you get them used to a toothbrushing song , its like they are getting the best massage ever , its so bonding
