Saw Wilf at Webbs Garden Centre ,and he seemed a lovely friendly placid dog. We just need to sort a home check before we get too attached to the idea of having a dog.Will try to ring to arrange a visit the Trust tomorrow.

Rory
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Just for clarity, there have been no real issues between the two dogs. They have happily slept in the same room together, albeit Rory is muzzled if we're not around as a precaution. Quite early on, Rory lay next to our grey's bed to sleep and when we got up this morning, our grey was asleep on the floor next to his bed which he is now happily using. Both dogs have full run of the house and we haven't needed to separate them. They walk together on the lead beautifully but are just happy to give each other space when at home. Although we thought our dog may have been lonely alone in the house in the past, this does not seem to be the case as she is not bothered either way about Rory's presence. Rory doesn't seem to mind that our dog is let off the lead in the local park and has met several dogs today all of different sizes, ages and temperaments and was quite happily wagging his tail, which was lovely to see. One of them, same breed as in Turner and Hooch, who was quite strong and boisterous licked Rory's muzzle and Rory didn't bat an eyelid.

I had thought little Sarah would be in a foster home today. I saw Sarah on Saturday, lovely litttle girl. Just wanted some love. I'll keep my eye out for a red, blue or green rectangle-I'm sure Sarah will be in someone's home very soon.

Stanley
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I wonder if people are put off looking at Stanley because he makes such a racket when people go to see him? His tail is wagging the whole time, its not in any way hostile or aggressive-its his way of saying come & say hello to me. He's excited to see new friends I think. He is a 'super dog with kind eyes & that's something I look for. Maybe if we foster him he will learn there's no need to bark. I feel, with all retired greys, once they're in a home these little kennel 'habits' disappear. They're totally different once they come home.

Marco
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well, Henry (our greyhound) spent most of this morning looking for Marco. It was very quiet without him & we hope he's been ok at kennels with so many visitors this weekend & watching all the comings & goings. Can't wait to hear news about how he's doing. Helen

Dingo

Thank you Coxycrew. We took him to Sutton Park again today and met with Heather and co and their dog Zak and that seemed to boost his confidence. He also made friends with Rooney at the Bistro. I'm hoping that with training classes and weekly walks in the park he will soon have lots of friends and be less nervous of other dogs on the walks. X

Rory
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Rory reminds me in some ways of our grey Jet when we had him. On the first evening at home, I went towards him & our female grey followed me,but we were greeted by a frightened growling grey who drew his lips so far back that I could see most of his teeth & gums, so we retreated hastily! He was possessive of 'his' corner & 'his' bed & we were determined to stop this. As he was nervous, we had to use his lead to move him; so every time we came back from a walk, he was led to a different corner & had to sit on a different bed (that already smelt of our other grey because he also had problems accepting her). At first, she could not walk passed him without being growled at. I spent Wimbledon fortnight watching tennis & dog training at the same time. I began with both dogs muzzled & went thru' various stages (& lots of treats ) until I had both dogs unmuzzled & she could walk passed him without a growl. The dogs slept unmuzzled in different rooms; she liked to sleep upstairs while Jet has never been able to master the stairs. It was a couple of months before we felt confident to leave them alone in the house unmuzzled together & only for a short time initially. Sadly, that female grey is no longer with us & when we had another, Jet adapted quickly, showing how scary homes & people can initially be! Every grey is different & that's why we all love them so much. Now,when Jet lies on his back, pawing the air & wanting his tummy tickled while our other grey saunters passed, we see how much he has changed & that's what makes all our effort worthwhile. If anyone has problems with their grey, there's valuable advice available from the kennels & there's also this website where there are those who have been there or done that or even bought the thundershirt! I'm glad to hear Rory seems to be adapting to his foster home well. Good luck - may be you will come to the same decision we did; despite initial problems there's a 'greyt' grey to be found that you'd like to keep(in return for time & patience)- that's what makes it so rewarding.
