Diamond came to stop with us last night after we picked her up from the vets following her spey. She has had a quiet night and has wandered around happily and unmuzzled with our greys. She is such a sweet girl.

Walter
I’m Homed
I have ordered the book tiggersmum - thanks for the suggestion, I think it will really help. I have been continuing to avoid eye contact and only touch Walter if he comes to me. I am slowly seeing a change. I stop touching him if he shows any of the stress signs and he is doing them less often now. He has started to come over to me and put his head in my lap for fuss when I come in to the room which is so nice. One of the hardest things I am finding is to know whether he is using the stress signs as a calming measure to tell me he means no harm, or if he is saying 'back-off I am stressed.' Some experts suggest reciprocating the calming signs (so yawning etc) when he does them which is fine if I am mirroring him saying 'I come in peace' but not if I am effectively telling him to back off! I have therefore just stuck to averting my gaze and moving away if he shows the signals. Any advice anyone has on that would be really appreciated. Julie is coming over on Sunday to do a session with us which I am really looking forward to - having spoken to her she sounds really lovely and I am sure she will be a huge help. He is back to see Andre on Saturday too as his right back leg is still not right & he is continuing to lean his weight to the left. Julie has recommended a chiropracter that treats dogs so I will ask Andre to make a referral for us.

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Daisy and I have spent a lot of time inside this week so I have been looking at the greyhound database.....and how amazing.....one of my much loved greys, who has been playing across the bridge since 2006 - Frank ( racing name Long Last) had im Slippy as his granddad on his mums side. And Daisy has im Slippy as her great great granddad. How amazing and fabulous is that. I think my gorgous boy Frank used his influence to bring Daisy home. xx

Just picked my daughter up from the kennels and I hadn,t seen Arthur for a few days, I was staggered by how much he has come on -he came straight over for a big fuss and by the end he was demanding as much attention as henry and Pluto now all he needs is a permanent loving home -he is one fabulous hound xx
