Alex
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I took Alex for a check up at the vets this morning. He was such a good boy in the car. He sat for a while looking out of the back window, watching the world go by. :)) He was really happy to go into the vets and say Hello to everyone. Xxx He needs a very special home and lots of love. Xxx

Johny came with me to Elmdon Park yesterday. He was such a good boy. He loves a sniff and I think he stopped to check out every single blade of grass!! During our walk he met lots of other dogs, from small breeds (miniature cockerpoo) to larger breeds (Dalmatian) and was very well mannered. He said hello politely and we even walked with a smaller dog for a while with no problems in at all. When we got back to the kennels he jumped on his bed and immediately started to roach. He's such an easy going boy. Hoping that he won't have to wait much longer for his forever home xx

I agree with rubytwoshoes the Greyhound who took part in the Final of Crufts tonight is absolutely stunning! What a fabulous opportunity to show people what a beautiful breed of dog they are. :)) The Flat Coated Retriever who won Best in Show was gorgeous too!! :)) Xxx

Despite there not being much in the diary today it seemed really busy! Thanks to our lovely volunteers all dogs had morning walks, this afternoon it was sand run fun, they thoroughly enjoyed it as did our volunteers! It stayed dry thankfully, although it was quite chilly, fleeces on, heating on and the inmates are all tucked up and curled up on their beds. Fingers crossed for some red and green signs this week, we are full to bursting! As always stay safe, warm and well.

Totally agree Lucy and you're right, you are their whole world...in our case, jet was literally my whole world too and it's not the same place it was without him, such a huge part missing. We only got 7 years together, prayed so hard we'd get more. As I have said before I desperately need one of these boys or girls in my life again but as you have rightfully said below, our circumstances aren't quite right at the moment but as soon as they are I would be honoured if we were allowed to give another one their forever home. Goodness help them though with the mad House we live in! Xxx

Fabulous hounds at Crufts today. What a stunning greyhound was the best in group winner and what a pretty little whippet as runner up.

So sad to see so many returnees recently. I totally sympathise and understand that sometimes circumstances really change and it's so sad for all involved, but please if thinking about adopting remember that you owe it to your new family member to accommodate all of their needs, that they are not a fad, or a temporary family member. If you are not in the right position to adopt, just wait it out, remember they need stable environments, and a whole lot of love, so if you can not see yourself having the time for them a couple of years down the line, just wait until you know you DO have the consistent time for them for what could be 10+ years they're in your life. Again, I totally understand sometimes unfortunate circumstances do dictate the return of these beautiful dogs, but they are not a decision to be taken lightly, and when you adopt one of them, you become their whole world, even if they're only one part of yours.
