So happy to see you've been fostered Rory!! I'm sure he loves staying with you Honeypen. I put forward the name Dash...because he's so dashingly handsome (and he'd probably dash around off the lead too if he got a chance). Hope his walk goes well x

For anyone that is looking for a greyhound, I'd just like to tell you a little bit about our week together & what a truly special dog she is. She never messed or destroyed anything in the house. She had love & affection to give in bucket loads. Although we never managed to get cat/dog relationship working (mainly due to hiding cat!), she was getting there. When we got her your arms would grow 1inch on each walk as she pulled so much, but in just a week she was walking to heel, unless we walked with other dogs or my daughter! She never begged for food or even attempted to steal any. She wanted to be as close to me as possible & be spoilt! She was really struggling with separation anxiety, so to help her I spent 4 days of really hard work trying to help her get over it. As a result, we built a very strong bond, but unfortunately this led to her thinking she was top dog. After being left for some time at home alone I got back & gave her lots of cuddles & fuss. My 2yr old then decided she wanted a cuddle from me. Jelly was not happy so growled then snapped at her. It also happened again this morning. It is totally my fault for not realising she wanted to be top dog & certenly not Jelly's. She would make a fantastic addition to a house that already has a dog or with someone that can be home with her 24/7. She would probably be fine with older children as long as from go she knows she's bottom of order! I can't begin to tell you how sad I am to let her go. It would just not be right for us as a family or Jelly. I do hope someone gives her the loving calm home she needs & deserves soon. X

Forgot to say....things are a bit confusing here at the moment. Our eldest son is called Rory, too. Any suggestions?!? Rory a super name (I know because I chose it for my son) but it'll be too confusing with Rorys. Suggestions welcome please! X

Hi everyone. I have taken little Rory home with me this afternoon so he can be in a home until he's rehomed. He's a super, super dog, so far done all toileting in the house, is great with my young children & has already made friends with my 8 month old little whippet. Poor Henry felt a bit put out by Rorys arrival out of the blue & he growled at him but, other than that, its all been fine. No food aggression, just a lovely dog. He does like to lean on your legs for comfort! Off for a walk in a while now they've had tea. I'll let you all know how he gets on! X

Oh I am so pleased that some really kind person has fostered Molly and pip, I was there when they were brought back today and I left with it playing on my mind, it made me so sad as they came trotting in and had no idea that they were going to be left after being in the same home for a number of years !! I drove home really really sad, also jelly was there looking a bit bewildered !! It is a really amazing job all the foster careers do for the greys xxx

When Daisy and I came to the kennels on thursday we met a lovely lady called Jen who recommended I try a thundershirt to help with Daisys anxiety when out and about. I ordered one from ideas4pets thursday afternoon and it came first thing this morning. Amazing. Daisy has worn it twice already and she seemed less stressed on our walk and certainly was not pulling on her harness to get home. I will let you know f it continues to help. So a big thank you to Jen. The only downside is that it only comes in grey and Daisy was hoping for pink or a nice bright green! x
