Rory
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I had no qualms that Rory would be a good boy at Stratford today and I just hope that it has some good results for him. With Zac being reserved today, I feel Rory will not be far behind as they are quite similar in character.

I took him on a Stratford walk the first time he was in kennels and had a soft spot for him so it is great he now has a lovely family after his first re homing.I think I also took your previous boy Sunny for a walk to Kingsbury water park another dog that touched the hearts of many supporters of Daybreaks. Pleased to hear Stevie is settling in.

This baby waited for 5 months in Ireland for a home yet she is reserved in half a day at Daybreaks best news ever. Didn't think she would be around for long shame it is difficult to re home in her land of origin but great for her and her new family.

to the new owners if youve never had a greyhound before, listen to the advice that Ruth and her team give you. Look for circling whining restlessness pacing up and down all signs of needing to go. Take the dog out several times a day and night, especially before you bed him down for the night, if possible for 5 minutes at a time, often and show him where you want him to toilet . Harsh as this sounds when he has toileted outdoors in your garden don't remove the poo straight away this only tells a dog that you are not pleased with where he has relieved himself . Take him back to the same spot so he quickly learns the spot you want him to toilet in. Give him a small treat it doesnt have to be huge, with lots of praise. Soon he will settle into the routine. If he soils any area of the house soak up with a towel first and then thoroughly clean with a mild solution of bio washing powder or gel, (be careful on wool carpets). Don't feed after 7pm until he has learnt the routine. Although dogs should always have access to water, whilst toilet training it may be best to restrict the amount given at once, as some dogs get anxious in there new surroundings (panting) and so the need to drink more. Its not rocket science just patience and kindness needed and i'm sure you will be rewarded and never look back. Oh and if Patricks new owners are experienced with greyhounds then i'm sorry i am just trying to help, for you this will be a piece of cake as you already know. Good luck Patrick you handsome brindle boy, hope this time it all works out for you, be good and love your new life. xxx

Thank you for your lovely comments Remint and Deb. After 10 minutes in the kennels this morning with stevie (which we've decided to rename him again) we were smitten by his gorgeous face and waggy tail. He's now lying on his new bed after dinner and a sniff round the garden. He's already a treat and we can't wait to show him off to our friends and family! Thank you Ruth and the other volunteers who have given us such a wonderful boy-will keep you updated, tracey especially to you, thank you for fostering him and training him to be a good little boy, he's no trouble at all! From Jo and family xx
