Carrie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
So am I pleased with her weight gain , I was still a bit worried that everything might not have been OK over the past week, despite visit to the vet and what everyone had said , but by Friday/ Saturday , I just knew it was a simple fact of what Id been told , feeding too little of a poor quality food . The old food actually did what it said on the label so to speak ,as I was feeding her enough for between a 15-20kg dog, for 2 years of a food that was bulked out with wheat ( something I can't even eat myself) , and thats what she became ,a dog on the low end of that scale , and completely undernourished . Like I said before , I was initially feeling completely embarrassed when I came over and saw the condition of all the other Greyhounds , but more so when I got home , I was so worried about her But the Burns food has done the trick , Even the ingredients list on this food is amazing , I can't even contemplate ever giving my dogs anything else other than this after the difference Ive seen over this past week , I guess like I said a bit of a learning time for me , just as people don't notice there dogs getting fat , I didn't notice Carrie getting skinny . She's still as unique and mad as she's always been and the higher quality protein content hasn't made any difference whatsoever in her temperament , if anything , the better quality food has calmed her down .

Carla
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Carla weighed in at 24.4 kg this morning , Ive just looked at her Notes and she was 23.7kg on 23/05/14 , Rather than driving to the vets the three of us had a walk through town today so lots of distractions and noises and Carla was great. Ive ordered a new dog name tag and , just as I did with Carrie (when I added Eden which means paradise and was related to Eves name) , Im adding something to her name tag, it seems to fit with what I said about your dogs always coming back and So Carlas name tag will read Carla Adora ( Adora meaning "Gift" ). Ive loved every dog thats chosen to be with me , in whatever combination thats been , but I have to say, already , this duo is exceptional. Thanks again everyone ,

Daisey

Daisey is feeling so much better today after a tough few days. That lovely bath and pampering made all the difference at Daybreaks yesterday 🙂 She is a beautiful girl & so friendly despite feeling so sick, she is clean in the house & settles well at night with no crying. Daisey is enjoying her food now and some short walks. Will keep you all updated xx

Hi Kate I did indeed! Well, well, well! He was amazing - we arrived there, stood in the middle where there were many, many different breeds & he seemed to look around & do a big humff, then seemed to decide well I can't have a go at them all, so I'll just ignore them! I even took his muzzle off & he was brilliant. He had little fluffys walking by him & everything! So a massive thank you to Jess for pushing me to take him in the garden at Daybreaks on Sat to mix with Sarah's other breed dogs & thank you to Sarah for letting me! I entered him in 4 catergories in the show, but he didn't win any (don't think the judges liked the greys!) but he behaved & walked beautifully, so proud! On Saturday he went to The Boot pub for lunch, then to Mick & Lyn's for dinner & hung out with Ed & Daisy & again he was as good as gold. Just want to say though, I will still warn people not to touch his body/back end too much or let their greys come up behind him as he will growl or bark & this does scare people/dogs sometimes! He's still a bit nervous after having the pain of the haematoma there. I am totally chilled about it, so not conveying any worried thoughts to him, just letting people know so they don't jump!

Jed
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well Jed had a really different evening yesterday we had an escaped pet pig on the park from a neighbouring property. No self respecting greyhound should have to turn pig herder but there we were trying to coral said pig with a little help until the farmer arrived! The expression on Jed's face was priceless!!!!
