Arthur (Ice)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
patsydior he is lying as good as gold in the kitchen now with Sara's 2 boys so I'm sure that he will fit right in with your gang, and he will enjoy those sofa cuddles! Have been doing a big smile and a "thumbs up" sign for when he has been a good boy, and he only has to see a lead in your hand and he ambles across and waits beautifully for it to be put on. He definitely loves his bed though and loves to snooze.xx

We plan to be here every day with Arthur when he arrives for at least two weeks so he won't be left alone and I've got loads of films recorded so we can have sofa cuddles if the weather doesn't let us sit outside. His new bed is due for delivery on Monday so will have to shoe horn that in somewhere!

Well what can I say Jed has yet again been mistaken for a Whippet!! I am thinking of getting him a racing jacket with "I'm a Greyhound" printed on it - poor lad!

Please Note : FFP club membership is not limited providing applicants can meet the following strict criteria : 1. You must love Greyhounds more than life itself ( or even the Spouse ! ) 2. You must be able to provide suitable luxury accommodation ( our greys are very choosy ) 3. You must be totally gullible ( or at least a soft touch ! ) 4. You must have the patience of a Saint. 5.You must be reasonably fit ( Yum-Yum Walkies !!) 6. You must have eyes in the back of your head ! and finally 7. You must not be too obsessively houseproud....Oh..forgot... 8.You must be able to THINK like a Greyhound...don't let those big eyes and cute face fool you !!!! So there you have it......SIMPLES !!! If you are still interested in Fostering ( lf you've just said yes...you may need to seek urgent treatment ) why not give Ruth or Kate a call at the kennels...who knows...you might end up being in the club too !!!!!!!!!!!

Arthur is keeping me company in the office today, it is a bit chilly so he's snuggled under a blanket. However, he has somehow managed to lie with his head underneath my chair leg, and looks sooo comfy that I don't want to disturb him so I have been perched on the end of my chair for ages trying not to move!!!!! He really is a fabulous boy who just craves the security of company. Good luck in France with the gang my beautiful boy. xx

If anyone requires any further information about the FFP club and how you too could become a member of our very elite organisation...then you can obtain more details from Rumblesmum...AKA Fiona...who, due to her sterling work recently in promoting the FFP club...has been appointed as the clubs new Recruitment Consultant. She will happily explain how you can become a failure too!!! x

Hi Rosie P. The Failed Foster Parents Club is a very exclusive club for all of us poor, misguided , deluded ,weak-willed humans who believe that we can foster a greyhound and not fall in love with , and thus end up re-homing said dog !!! Sadly...most of our members are in denial , and will never admit that emotions played any part in their decision...but it just made sense from a practical point of view !!! Well... that's my excuse...and I'm sticking to it !! X.

We've been fostering the lovely adorable Snip for the last few weeks and have really enjoyed having her as a temporary member of the family. We know she'll be so happy in her new forever home but will miss her a lot 🙂

As blueangel said Arthur spent the afternoon in the kitchen with 2 greys n my 2 non grey boys today n he was so good! He got on great with the other dogs straight away, found himself a bed n then just chilled out n slept! All he wanted was the company n the stress just went away! He is going to love having lots of other dogs n people to be with in France. He will be one very happy boy n patsydior you're gonna love him!!!! X

Hi Tracey ice may have a little hearing, ask Ruth, when you call his name, he cannot hear you, last Sunday when we opened up the kennels everyone else was making a right racket, but Arthur, was still fast asleep, he did not see us come into his kennel as he was facing the wall, it was so touching, we had to wake him up , gosh he is a special boy, anyway I am digressing a bit, what I wanted to say was when he was in the kitchen run with me I clapped my hands and he turned round !!!!!! I don't know if it was a vibration thing or what but I did it again later and he turned round again so he must of sensed or heard something !!!!
