Hi Letting them sleep upstairs is usually the answer- greys have always had company .. think of Daybreaks kennels and thats how they live in training so he will always have had a friend with him. Now he's retired into a strange new world he's probably feeling worried so you could try putting your childgate across your bedroom dorr and his bed on the landing so he can see you but not get to you ... plus the long walks should help him learn to settle- does your heating go off at night? If so he could be feeling chilly so he'll need a nice snug fleecy coat and being warm that may help him sleep longer too. My grey used to stampede up and down the landing barking at the foxes outside so I shut her inside my bedroom and she goes to sleep now 🙂 Having had her for a while she now knows that sometimes I sleep longer but -if the alarm goes ... she can bark and squeak 🙂 j x

I tried putting the radio and lamp on a timer so that he thinks I have come downstairs, that didn't work! Any suggestions would be gratefully received as he is disturbing the neighbours as well as me. It was suggested by a friend that I let him sleep upstairs but as I am such a light sleeper he would only have to move and I would be awake!

Maggie
I’m Homed
We need to find the adorable Maggie a new home...... the following is what her existing owner has written for us to help her find a new home. Her owner is happy to keep her until this comes along x Maggie has been with her current family for a couple of years. ________________________________________________________ As with all greyhounds, Maggie loves nothing better than sleeping and eating. As I am at home all day, Maggie is a pleasure to have around, as she is not demanding and sleeps curled up on the settee, until I call them to go outside, or offer a treat. Maggie does not bark or rush to the door when the bell rings. She waits at the door for me quite patiently when I return to the house, greeting me with a bounce and a waggy tail. She is not a “jumper”. She loves greeting visitors, once they are in the house, but can be a little bouncy and soon settles down. She will share her sofa, although she expects you give her lots of fuss and cuddles. She is fine with children. Guests have to be reminded of how big she is, if they have food, as she will attempt to take any in sight. She will fetch her toy if you throw is in the garden, but prefers to chase after a treat. She stands quietly upon returning from her walks, awaiting the treat she is given after her lead and muzzle are removed. She is very inquisitive and will find any food that is about. She has a history of eating chocolate and will attempt to steal any food within her reach. She loves carrots as a treat and enjoys an occasional chicken or fish dinner. She has chewed other items, such as shoes, if they were left within her reach, including a pack of balloons. Maggie is not always clean in the house. If you are around she will come and let you know she needs to go out, but if no-one is in the room, she sometimes wets in the living room. During the night, she will sometimes bark to alert you that she needs to go out, but it is just as likely to let you know it’s too late. On the lead, she generally walks well on a coupler lead with our other dog, although she is always on the lookout for any cat that she can chase. Walking the dogs without encountering cats is virtually impossible where we live, so it has become a battle of wills to try and maintain control of them, once a furry comes into view. As with most greyhounds, Maggie is very strong and has slipped her lead and muzzle and chased a cat on two separate walks. The last time she almost pulled me into the road and I hurt my back and pulled my elbow. A harness did offer some deterrent, but she still lunges and encourages our other dog to follow her. She gets on with our other greyhound, although they both like their own space. She has not had any close contact with other breeds, but does not display any aggression to any we pass whilst walking – merely curiosity. The only reason for having to make this decision to seek another home for Maggie is that my back condition is chronic and it I am unable to safely walk the dogs together and feel that Maggie would blossom in a home where she can enjoy the long leisurely walks that I am sure would benefit her.

Lottie (Spotty)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well the beautiful Spotty has been packing her bags this morning as she is off on holiday to Wales today for a short break with one of our volunteers! She is back early next week and has a foster home lined up to go to if there is no offer of a permanent home 🙂 She has been an absolute angel at our house - totally relaxed (despite Nora bouncing off her with her cone collar on numerous occasions), she sleeps all through the night and is totally house trained. Just gorgeous!

Awww so sorry Fearne has been returned, as soon as I saw the photo of her with her cone I remembered her, she is so sweet, happy Pluto has a new little friend though I have been thinking about him after Henry went to his new home and if he was all alone. I hope Fearne gets new home soon. xx
