I'm sorry but 5 days is not near long enough to say that you have tried with a dog. When i first got our greyhound I constantly watched her, looked out for signs circling pacing etc and took her out several times a day for 5 minutes at a time until she settled and understood where to toilet. Let us not forget that these dogs have been kenneled all their lives and know of nothing else . They see our house as an extension to their kennel. Therefore with patience and kindness they eventually learn what we expect of them, but it takes time. These dogs require extra time to adapt, they are thrown into a totally different world and given up on far too soon. Never mind Patrick there is a home out there for you, you'll see.xx

Beautiful Spotty is tucked up at our house and fast asleep. She had her dental today and had 11 teeth out.... we picked her up from the vets this evening where she has been a little star all day for them. She is just adorable.... She will stay at ours tomorrow and I am sure she will be feeling much better soon x

I almost forgot Nora's appointment this evening as we have had a really busy day at the kennels. She is on more antibiotics - as she was so good at the vets, I took her up to Just for Pets at the Swan. She chose herself a new lampshade collar as we need to wash her other one each day due to her wound weeping so much 🙁 She wasn't impressed at just buying that so helped herself to a treat conveniently situated by the till - little minx!

My precious Lola has had a rough day today. She's had to have surgery to remove one of her toes. We found a swelling a couple of weeks ago which looked like an abscess forming - it was she had been charging round the garden in the snow so we thought she'd maybe pricked it on a thorn though we couldn't see anything in it . At the weekend it was looking a bit odd & Paul popped her to the vets on Monday. We we shocked to be told it was a tumour and not an infection and the toe needed to be removed as these types can be nasty. We are having it analyzed & results should be back next week. If it's the type we hope it is then it should be localised and the amputation should do the trick so keeping everything crossed. She's a bit out of it at the moment but seems pleased to be home in her own bed. And for anyone who knows Lola ....you will know how much she loves being in bed. Lena has missed her sis today but has been for a long walk with her friends Blue & Ben so she's pretty tired herself. We might be excused from Julie's training classes for a week or three until she's back to her normal self but hope to see all our hooman and greyhound friends soon xxx
