Oh Ade what a lovely boy you are. I am so enjoying reading about the lovely time you are having in your foster home - I so wish I could have seen you window shopping and encountering Father Christmas, so many new experiences you seem to be taking in your stride. Lets hope that your own forever sofa is not long in coming now my poppett. Big cuddles. xxx

James
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Winniethepooh. Have you tried James with a Thundershirt? I am a recent convert. Silla is terrified of fireworks and every year we have weeks of her refusing to go out for a wee after dark, and being petrified on the worst nights. She used to hide under a blanket, not able to close her eyes or rest. I was quite sceptical about the Thundershirt, but had read some good reviews and thought we had nothing to lose. The change in Silla is remarkable. The other night during a hefty display she was fast asleep, and obviously not stressed. She does still open her eyes when the huge ballistic ones go off, but goes back to sleep again. We take her out the front of the house on the lead for a late night wee, when we think it is safe. Daybreaks stock them, and I honestly think it's the best £30 I have ever spent. No guarantees but must be worth a go. She even seems a little calmer on the lead, which as Ruth will testify really is a miracle!!

Ade

So glad Ade is fostered and getting to know the world. With three failed fosters of my own this year (failed as in I have kept them forever) plus my 2 other greys and my baby whippet I couldn't foster Ade aswell!! Its almost a year since he finished racing and so sad he hasn't got his forever home yet. They said at his racing kennel that he loved to sit and watch what was going on and so no surprise that he likes window shopping. Fingers crossed he gets to have Christmas in his forever home. Sending you cuddles Ade. X

Kitty
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Kitty is being absolutely golden.... if not at the kennels! She is good on the lead and great with small fluffy dogs now around the park. She is very clean in the house and great with all of our greys and just loves sleeping on the window seat! She just seems to get so stressed at the kennels so I am going to be leaving her at home during the day where she can be watched on the cameras - and she is fine to be left, as long as she has canine company. If you are interested in seeing her I am happy for people to see her at my house - just give me a call - Ruth 0121 782 7702.

James
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I know every year I post a comment about the fireworks, I really wish there were only organised displays and not the what seem like rockets going off all night from teatime. Our James does have his firework CD which does help, we leave this on replay for most of the night but he can still hear the big noisy fireworks. We close the curtains and feed him his tea in the afternoon as he will not eat once he hears a firework. He has his soft bedding to lie on and Rose and Tom to keep him company too but he gets so upset panting, gets hot, eyes wide open and he will not lie down. Does anyone know of anything else we can do to help him as it upsets me seeing him in distress.

Ade

just got to share this with you, it says it all what a fantastic character Ade is . Ade went window shopping last night, we had to stop at every shop and study what was in the window with great curiosity moving his head from side to side, loved the lights and moving objects, when we got to the shop with Farther Christmas in, he just sat down and cried jumping up now and again to have a better look, i wish i had a camera his face was a picture, looked so happy, he is such a fantastic lad so full of character, i am so jealous of the lucky family that gives him a home. 🙂 🙂 xx
