Pete
I’m Homed
We sadly had to take Pete back to Daybreaks today. Pete had a incident with Tigger the cat. Pete was muzzled and Tigger is ok. When we began fostering we agreed we would only foster if it did not cause too much stress to our current family. Despite following all of the guidance, the same we have done with all of ours greys and foster greys, feeding Tigger first, putting her first in the pack, using the water spray, sadly it did not work out. I'm devastated as I feel returning him I have let him down. He is such a wonderful boy he is so full of life and his tail never stops wagging. I took Pete to Sally's training class last night, he was really well behaved and took it all in his stride. 2 lovely ladies took turns in training him and he responded really well. Pete was quite a hit but sadly no one was in a position to offer him a home. Pete has had no accidents in the house. He walks wonderfully on the lead and for a cat free house he has so much to give. I'm hoping some of information we have posted will help to find Pete a home. Ruth has my number and I'm more than happy to talk to anyone about Pete and the time we have spent with him. Sorry boy, I hope your forever home is just around the corner. X

Rory
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Rory looked totally fed up yesterday and didn't want to go back into his kennel after his walk down the lane.I took him and my little lurcher up to Elmdon Park for a longer walk.He traveled well with Milly she in the front and Rory in the back.He thoroughly enjoyed his walk but was a little perplexed by the sight of several geese and assorted ducks.The pair of them spotted a squirrel of great interest but both were well behaved no noise and no lunging. He did whip round on the lead when an off lead spaniel ran towards him again no noise or lunging -just curiosity.Rory was happy to walk side by side with Milly he did lean into me a bit and enjoyed lots of cuddles.He is a lovely boy who will be a lovely companion he just needs to be out of kennels.It was quite sad when we arrived back as he didn't want to go back into the kennels he is a boy who just wants to be out and and about and receive lots of love which I am sure he will return by the bucketful.There are lots of positives about Rory and I urge anyone considering a grey to have a look at him.In the right home he will be absolutely fab.

Marco
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Something happened yesterday that made a stronger bond with me & Marco yesterday. I took Henry & Marco for a walk yesterday lunchtime & got caught in that horrible wind & snow. We arrived back home & I realised I'd locked myself out. I had no keys, no phone & my parents who live very near were out. Eventually I walked to my children's school to ask them to call my husband. We had, by now, probably travelled over 3 miles in very cold weather. Both dogs had fleece & coat on but I was still anxious. They coped very well at the school, didn't make a sound & walked so well back up a steep hill of about half a mile to home. We then had to wait 45 minutes until my husband arrived back from work. I tried to keep the boys out of the direct wind & it was Marco who stood with me-his face on my face, curled around me, to keep me warm. Henry stood, ears up, keeping watch whilst Marco & I spent the entire time together. Marco is such a loving dog &, as I've said before, if you don't stroke him he will bop your bottom with his snout or nudge your tummy until you tickle him. He is still nervous in the evenings, Henry & Jasper snuggle up &/play & Marco pops in & out but is still prefering to sleep in a more quiet area on his own. I wonder if Marco would prefer a more quiet home to mine & one without a puppy. That said, its all about a perfect match with the right person. Yesterday I saw something in Marco that tells me he's got a certain extra special something & will make a very loyal companion who will lie at your feet & put his head in your hands. I know he isn't at kennels & so you're missing him but if you call Daybreaks I can bring him to meet you. Personally, I feel, he will like his bed in a cosy corner & live with a female greyhound or by himself but, again, he may well meet a perfect doggy match-its amazing when it happens. I can't stress how much people need to meet Marco-you'll understand when you see him. Helen x

Bert
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I shall have to give the lovely Bert an extra special cuddle when I see him tomorrow. I can't believe he's being overlooked as he is such a poppet. As Clare said, he was a treasure at the Mell Square Roadshow, and I can confirm what a busy, noisy and overwhelming place it was! At one stage he took himself into the gazebo, snuggled down onto the duvets and had a nap! Keeping my fingers crossed that this special lad gets noticed soon. x
