Minty (Vera)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Oh dear...poor Minty. Really hope all goes well on Wednesday. They are such a worry and it doesn't get any easier with time what with the extra worry about the anaesthetic. I'm sure she will be well looked after though. Our Lola fared well after her anaesthetic recently and she's just 2 days younger than your girl (happy birthday to Minty for yesterday) so fingers and paws crossed that you all have a similar experience on Wednesday xx

So sorry to hear this. My Norman had only part of his tail amputated after sn accident. Well the end was damged and he had just over 6 inches removed as he hed kink in his tail and they thought it was broken so took tbat much off. I had a s scare with Stevie at the weekend with his tail right near the top. He must knocked it on the wall. Without going into great detail it was like the Texas chainsaw massacre. Managed to dress and stop the bleeding. All looks good now. Good luck to Minty. Xxx

Walked this lovely fella today and was a gent on the lead. He just needs a chance and some patience from humans and he would be a great addition to any family. He might come over a bit grumpy at times but in my experience thats most men for you!!!!!! He has a tough exterior but is a big softie underneath. Good luck to you my gentle gent,

Zeta
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I visited the kennels today and fell in love with this little beauty. Thinking of exchanging my husband for Zeta, she would be a lot less hassle.........!!!!! She is very loving and was great with my 9yr old. Come on people she deserves her own sofa and you certainly wont be disappointed, she is an absolute beaut.

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Melysa, Teddy (or Remi as he was previously known) was not homed through Perry Barr RGT. Sadly the home he found did not work out and I know Remi's photos and postings have been on Facebook. Luckily for Teddy, he has found a home with a family who have adopted from Daybreaks and he is off to be neutered on Friday. Hope that explains it! 🙂

Arthur (Ice)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Arthur is enjoying his birthday by trying out every seat in the house. Has had mince and rice for breakfast, then a whole pouch of Burns Chicken Rice and Veg and best part of a whole chicken (minus bones). He loves the Chaise as he can watch Richard through the window (think he is going to be a Daddy's Boy). He has slept a lot but he has had a big journey and experience. What have we learnt so far - he seems to 'hear' a knock on the window or the front door opening, he can pee up his front leg very well and he loves cuddles and giving kisses. Just need to get his fluffs to grow back on his bum now.

I think the hardest thing Ive ever done is not to acknowledge Carla and Carrie lying together on the same quilt and just let them be.

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 .
