Hi Could it have anything to do with the heat? Check out Exertional Rhabdomylosis on the internet, has she been near Startford Racecourse recently or woodland? Some dogs are becoming ill after walking in woods and near the Racecourse ... the bottom line tho is that she's in the best place and hopefully they'll find out what's wrong and she'll be back very soon. All crossed. J x

Hi all had a lovely day at the dogs day out but I was unable to have a go at the fastest recall as I still have my stitches in from my op, visit to the vets tomorrow to have them out and check up on my ears but they are much better and hope all is ok. Betty

Having taken Duggie to the last Stratford Walk can I say I agree with everything Ruth has said about him. Also Duleek Dandys comments after meeting him on the walk I think also sum up his character and nature perfectly. I am sure that inside this outwardly grumpy greyhound is a loving dog waiting to form a close bond with the right person. Lets all hope he gets his chance to prove it soon.

Great news Banger. I have walked this lovely big chap. Yes he is a big strong lad, but he was as good as gold on the lead with me. Have a great life Banger. Sounds like you will be truly spoiled. xxx

Mia (Splash)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hello, we wanted to unburden on here as we are very worried. Mia seemed very lethargic the last two days. We took her to the vet and they said her gums are very pale and her heart rate is massively raised, suggesting blood not getting round the body. She has been kept in as an emergency. They mentioned possible heart problems, lungs, or internal bleeding. They think it could be very serious. We are distraught and wonder if anyone has a clue what it could be and whether you think she has a chance of recovery. She only had a corn removed three weeks ago and they were happy with her liver, kidneys and heart then. I can't even contemplate being without her..

Dear Duggie I have sent you a cuddle today in the hope someone will be willing to give you a loving home very soon. In my experience all three of our four legged friends have their little issues that over time we have learnt to understand and I am sure there will be someone out there to help you through your worries. Good luck Duggie.

Duggie
I’m Homed
Duggie has been coming home with me every night and we have seen a massive change in how he is. If he is tired - he is grumpy (can't we all be!) and just likes to be left alone in his bed. On his walks, he likes to shout across the park to all the other dogs to say hello and once up close, has a sniff, wags his tail and looks out for the next dog to say hi to! He is totally clean in the house, sleeps well, eats well and loves playing with his ball on a rope. I am desperate to find this fella a home to call his own. This would be one with no children and not too busy. He is VERY wary of people he doesn't know and sadly will growl to start with if approached but if you call him to you, he is normally absolutely fine but to someone who hasn't got confidence with dogs, this could be quite frightening. He will keep coming home with me until he finds the right home - there must be one out there..... so if you are interested, please give me a call. Because of his unpredictable nature, he really needs a very patient home where he can be understood. If someone was prepared to adopt him, I would fund his food for the rest of his life.......

The home checkers Paul and Linda have been and given us the green light to go ahead with the re-homing of the lovely Banger. His bed turned up this morning together with his red lead and collar with his name on. Cant wait for the 9th August when we can start spoiling him.

You get my cuddle today Duggie you gorgeous boy. I dont know what changed your mind about people but with all the love and affection you deserve, I know you can learn to trust again. You are so very handsome and deserve your own home with a family who understand you and let you trust again in your own time - I know you can do it. We had a wonderful older grey (Billy) who had only every lived in kennels and was very nervous and scared of people but with loads of our love and our time he changed and we had some very precious years with him before we lost him to Rainbow Bridge. It can be done but takes understanding. I know your future home is waiting for you and in the meantime you have the marvelous kennel staff to look after you. All my love Duggie boy, Terry XXXXX

Happy birthday to our big blue idiot, Jonty. I have had a chat with him today and told him he is now a big boy and needs to start acting like one but I don't think he has taken much notice. Has anyone got any earplugs they don't need?
