Mannie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
My cuddle goes to lovely Mannie today. I saw him yesterday and despite his poorly paw he was still his usual happy self and it hasn't affected his appetite at all!! Keeping everything crossed his paw looks better when he goes back to see the vet tomorrow. Lots of Love Kate and Twiggy xxxx

Walter
I’m Homed
I think you're doing a fabulous job and deserve huge congratulations for reading Walter's own body language rather than just making snap judgements 🙁 There's a great book called (I think) On Talking Terms with dogs by Turid Rugaas. It's got lots of excellent pictures showing various doggy signals .. which like ours can have a few meanings, the book is well worth buying :)The Kennel CLub do an excellent interactive game for kiddies called 'Safe and Sound' which show children how to be safe round dogs - when they're on their bed, when you meet them, when they're in their garden etc etc - access that thro the KC website. Greys are a very submissive breed and their signals can be small - just turning their head away or their eyes hardening can be a big signal that things aren't ok for them so I think it's very important we recognise as much of their language as possible especially cos if we ignore these signals the greyhound might feel it needs to 'shout' - and it's usually the dog who's blamed when accidents happen 🙁 Keep up the excellent work Littlemo Walter is a very lucky boy to have found you 🙂 J x

Had a lovely time yesterday with this gorgeous boy. As the weather was so rotten, the kennels were really quiet but we managed a lovely walk in the snow & Santa is such a lovely boy, he loves to see you and have a cuddle and his whole back end wags in excitement - love him to bits! x

Hammy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hammy has been showing slight signs of lameness recently. It's been so slight, that it only showed on walks, not around the house and I couldn't quite tell which leg it was. Those of you that remember what happened to my beloved Stig, will know what my initial thoughts were. Anyway, having kept an eye on it over the last few weeks and seeing that there has been no worsening, I was starting to think i was imagining it, until today. Today, Hammy decided to stretch into the 'cockroach' position right next to me and prod me in the eye with his paw for fuss. After a little fuss, I stopped, only to find the paw thrust straight back into my face. Luckily, I started playing with said paw and clearly got a good look at it, and guess what was there? A corn. This must have been the cause all along for the lameness, but although it's going to be a pain to sort out, it's far, far better than my original fears. Who would put money on Hammy using that particular paw to poke me as a sign? Not sure, but I'm glad he did. 🙂 x

Walter
I’m Homed
Thank you all so much for the amazing support & such kind comments. Walter is doing well & has developed a lovely bunny-hop move when excited which makes a very special welcome when we get home! He is still a bit unsure sometimes so i move away when he tells me he is worried. He has come 2 me more & puts his head on my knee. I thunk u can tell from his eyes when he is relaxed & we r seeing much less of the whites of his eyes now. He loves his toys & practically dances at anything fluffy he can play with (thankfully this doesn't include the cat!). His personality has really started 2 come out over the last couple of days & he is a lot more boisterous than he was which is a good sign I think. It has brought plenty of laughs with it! I can tell already he has a few naughty tricks up his sleeve! Thanks so much again for all if your comments, you are all so very kind. X
