Buddy (Arthur)
I’m Homed
We had the same thing with Walter & it turned out he had a water infection & needed antibiotics. That said, he will still have the odd accident despite being walked just before & it's usually when we have popped out of the room for a few minutes. I think it may be a be that they are feeling more attached to us & it stresses them when we go out of the room but they can still hear that we are in the house. I think once they get more confident over time it will stop. I do empathise though because it can be a bit frustrating when they have just been out, but I am putting it down to the natural adjustment period as Ruth, Fiona & Julie explained it can take months for them to get used to all the changes they are going through. I am sure it will happen less & less over time & if all else fails I am now if the opinion what's a bit of wee between friends! :0)

Pete
I’m Homed
As Jim said we fostered Pete yesterday. He is a lovely boy I can't believe he hasn't been spotted yet. He has been clean in the house overnight and when we went out today. He is brilliant on the lead and walks right by our sides. The T.V fascinated him to begin with and he watch it for about 20mins. He is now used to it and sleeps through it. He does not seem nervous and likes to come and have a nose at whatever we are doing. Pete has learnt and is responding to leave it with Tigger the cat, going near the oven and when we are eating which is great as he has only been here a day. He has developed the sweetest habit. Josie one of our greys was on her bed today and when Pete lay down next to her he copied her exact pose. Louis our other grey is on his bed now in a completely different pose to Josie's earlier again Pete is behind him and is copying the pose. Pete loves a fuss behind his ears, he has a half a tail that always seems to be wagging and he has stunning markings. If day one in foster care is anything to go by he will make a brilliant addition to someone's home.

Hi HorseyAnne, glad you will continue to visit the wesite and that you have room in your heart for another lovely grey in the future. I understand how the story must have upset you, you should have seen me on the journey back to the kennels (total emotional wreck) x Belle is beautiful and hopefully she and Boo won't have to wait too long for their forever sofa's ! Fingers crossed x x x

Dingo
I’m Homed
Dingo went to bed without any fuss last night and when we came down in the morning he was still lying on his bed. He has had no accidents and has been good as gold. We have just got back from a 50 minute brisk walk around the park and hope that, with a 20 minute walk in the morning, will keep him settled while we are at work tomorrow. Also, love the surprise of seeing him run around the garden off his lead for the first time today (that must be what wears him out enough to sleep all night and most of the day). Loving been a first time dog owner 🙂

Buddy has been clean and dry in the house for all of the six weeks we have had him but today spent a penny on the carpet in one of our downstairs rooms, he had already been for a walk and out in the garden, I have cleaned the carpet with biological washing powder, does anyone have any ideas why he might of done it, we were in the house at the time. We regularly leave him while at work for 6hours and he is ok.

Yeuna was a little diamond at Mell Square yesterday, met lots of people and lots of little children and was brilliant with them all! She had some photos taken again and some long hugs with people who said they'd take her now but............. She especially enjoyed Mary's regular treats but really enjoyed the experience. All in all there seemed to be a lot of interest this time so hopefully some (or even most) of the greys will find their forever homes soon!

Still thinking about you Rory. If we could have another grey you would definitely be the one. Hope your forever home is just around the coner x

Belle
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thanks Sarah. I know that Ruth and all the volunteers do a fantastic job. And I will continue to visit the website. It's a shame I'm not ready to rehome another grey myself just yet. I'm hoping to reduce my workng hours later in the year - then guess what - I will give another beautiful grey a forever sofa!! My last grey was fawn so that's what upset me so much about Belle and Boo. She is so gorgeous I'm sure she will be snapped up soon. xxx

Rory
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I just wanted to say I hope that someone who is thinking of homing Rory isn't put off. Everyone at Daybreaks helps to find the right home for a greyhound and it can't work out everytime as it hasn't in Rory's foster home. I am new to owning greyhounds and made mistakes with Walter and he had to tell me quite firmly before I realised we had been stressing him out with all our cuddles. Now I understand his boundaries & stop the moment he tells me something is worrying him. This happens less & less now & he is a proper fuss-pot! Obviously something's are harder to sort out & in this case it was clearly too much for Rory but that isn't a negative thing. In my mind that's part of the reason lovely people help out by offering foster homes. It helps dogs to find the right home, whether that's without kids & other pets. It will just mean that when Rory's new owner comes along they will have lots of information about him & hopefully understand him. Good luck Rory you sound like you will be a perfect match for someone willing to take a bit if time to listen to you. Xxx
