I hope little Ada is feeling more comfortable today after her trip to the Canine Sports Clinic yesterday!!! :-))) Thanks for getting it sorted Mrs B...you have a good heart and a kind soul. I really hope Ada can find a loving home and a careful and understanding new owner. l noticed that you have corrected your grammatical Faux Pax ( l was'nt going to mention it....honestly )!!!!!!!! Now...l know that you had a long, hard day yesterday, and it was fairly late....but you really must start adding a little something to that Southern Comfort !!! XXX. P.S. I am desperately looking for a dictionary to check my spelling of Faux Pax...bloody French...knew l should have used "error" instead !!!

Jed
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well finally found the courage to let Jed off the lead in our 8 acre field. I don't know quite what I was expecting at the very least he would brake into a run, possibly chase some of the rabbit's in the end he did NOTHING just carried on sniffing a particularly interesting blade of grass. So there we were at 5.30 this morning me running round the field shouting Jed and him stood looking rather confused and with that sort of expression on his face that just says "look what I have to put up with!" I suppose I should be grateful that I didn't have to spend two hours catching him but I do feel less guilty about not letting him off the lead sooner he obviously is not fussed about running!!

Ada

I did over 100 mile round trip today to get Ada seen today as she was having problems with her leg. She ended up having x-rays and a screw removed under sedation and she is now on antibiotics. Bless her - she was so brave and I could not recommend Richard Torr at the Canine Sports Clinic more for helping her today. What excellent service! https://www.caninesports.co.uk/

Hi Kate. We actually discovered that Gent is only 9 years old, thanks to his brother Tom (and Maggie) and a phone-call to the English Greyhound Studbook - if only we could all reverse our birth-dates!!! Mr Gent has thoroughly enjoyed himself though, a lovely walk (and customary birthday gallop) around the park with Emily and his Lurcher pal Honey, spark out for the rest of the day and the hopping around the kitchen tonight when he clocked the sardine can heading towards his dinner bowl. The prize for the worst birthday present goes to me though, when I presented him with a new rain-coat. That boy is human, I'm sure he rolled his eyes at me, before taking himself off to the coolest part of the house!!!! Mand x

Giving my cuddle to young Banger tonight. He was neutered today. Poor lad was understandably quite wobbly when he came back! Hopefully he will feel much better tomorrow. Xxx

Carla
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I keep forgetting to write an update on Carla , simply because its like she's always been here , she's so affectionate and has just a little bit of awareness about whats going on outside the house ( don't laugh at the next comment) but a bit like a guard dog ! She really has no "warts" so to speak and that itself lends itself to a very special character in a 7 year old Lady who has settled so well and she is just that, nothing less than a proper polite Lady .. OK a proper polite Lady who loves trying to get in open doors , and shops , loves watching whats going on in Garages and workshops when we walk through town and a Proper Polite Lady who , with her Crazy mad best friend has to say Hello when we see other people and Carla and Carrie are really a lovely double act when we are out ... but a Proper Polite Lady all the same .
