These posts are so heart warming! It sounds like you are doing a fantastic job now you are aware of Walters body language and getting support I'm sure it will keep getting better and better. The team at daybreaks are amazing and so helpful you're in good hands. Each grey adjusts to home life differently. I think most of us can put our hands up to something we have learnt from in the early days which looking back on we would do differently now. Great grey owners learn from this and make a difference moving forward. So with that in mind I think Walter is lucky to have a great family adopt him! Please keep us updated. X

This fella is a very special boy to me..... he was the very first arrival at Daybreaks as I opened the gates on 1st July 2006. He is now 12 1/2 (will be 13 in June) and has been in a happy home for the past 6 1/2 years having lived on a small Scottish Island for the last 6 years and now back in the West Midlands. However it is with great sadness I heard today that his cancer has returned - my love goes to Finn, a wonderful gentle giant and also to his wonderful owners, our fabulous friends - Maggie and Paul and his greyhound brother Arthur (Soldier) and Mollie his greyhound sister. Big hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Our poor little boy has really hurt his foot. It started off as just a little cut so we bathed it in salt water. Unfortunately, it just got worse and in the end a trip to the vet was needed. The vet told us it had gone septic and he was put on antibiotics. He's had three different bandages so far. A tiger striped one, a light blue one and a yellow with chickens on it! Hope he gets better soon xxx

Oh, I'm sorry that things haven't gone quite as smoothly as you may have hoped, but as all the others have said, Walter has had a massive change to his routine and environment and is just showing signs of being a bit overwhelmed. I'm so pleased too, that you have recognised this and are taking the time and effort to work with Walter and at his speed. You will both reap the benefits of this sooner than you realise, I'm sure. So many people (especially recently) would have returned him, so given that you have seem to have not even considered this brings warmth to my heart. Keep up the good work, you are just the very sort of person that a Grey needs!! x

Wow, the amount of love and understanding you are showing to him, brought a tear to my eye. I remember some of those early, nervous feelings but they will go as you get used to one another. You are doing a fantastic job. You are blessed to have a lovely greyhound come into your life but walter is very lucky too, having such a loving "mommy" who will work through these early, scarey days with him. X

Awww, your doing amazingly well, you spotted the problem, that deserves huge congrats. My Reubes was not a cuddle boy, its taken him 2 years to accept a cuddle and only on his terms. I call him for his "Loves" and he will come if he wants and stay for a while. Initially only few seconds but now its maybe a whole minute!! Oh and he hates my arm over him - much prefers a neck rub and ear twitch. So glad you mentioned on here your anxieties - a problem shared...... luv t

I took the beautiful Nora to the vets this morning also as she had a swelling come up on her neck. After speaking to her trainer it was thought it was just a blocked salivary gland. However, today a large amount of murky blood was syringed out of the swelling and we have been advised for her to have the swelling investigated. She has therefore been booked for her operation next Friday 🙁

He is so lovely and he is my Jet's brother. Had to give him a cuddle today. Hope to see him at Daybreaks (unless he gets a home first) when we pop up for supplies.
