Billy
I’m Homed
Poor Billy can be a bit nervous and want to stay in his kennel and we had a bit of a job getting him to come out for his dinner today. In the end I had to gently pick him up and take him to the run. One thing that stands out is there is another Billy trying to come through and part of him wants to be friends. I think he would benefit from living with another more outgoing dog who could show him that the post racing world is nothing to be scared of. The lucky family that eventually adopts him and gains his trust with patience and care will have a very loving and loyal pet in return. Billy is a very special boy and he loves custard cream biscuits xx

Tracie, Bullet is gorgeous isn't he?! He certainly isn't cat friendly, so not sure how he would be with little Purdy. Kate Xxx

Miserable, sunny, miserable and sunny again summed up today. Thanks as always to our Wednesday walkers and all our lovely volunteers. Helen and Dave managed to drag themselves back after their holiday, lol x Paddy was absolutely fine after his neuter yesterday, he was not happy about not going on a walk and quite vocally mad his displeasure known! Ruth was in first thing despite feeling awful (and sounding equally as bad) and sorted out the issues with the kennel trackers. Thankfully as the day progressed she started to sound much better, if not feeling better. She had a patient for corn removal too, always uplift her I think. Hope everyone is staying safe and well, take care.

Hi Tracie, not too sure at the moment, fine with other greys. He is quite a strong lad, off for his neutering tomorrow.

Mikey spent some time in the office with Ruth today. He loved it and made himself at home. 🙂 He is a very bright and inquisitive lad. Hope it won't be too much longer before he finds his forever home. Xxx

A big cuddle for Paddy tonight, he was quite uncomfortable after his neutering operation today. Everyone at the vets loved him! He is such a great lad. Hoping he will feel better tomorrow. Xxx

It was Paddy's turn to be neutered today. He was a very good boy in the car and sat down after a couple of minutes. 🙂 When I went to collect him this afternoon I took Lady for a check up too. Xx Paddy had taken quite a liking to his vet and was doing his best Greyhound lean! 🙂 If only the vet didn't have several cats!! Xxx We managed to get the morning walks done before the rain arrived. This afternoon was rather wet but Declan and Charlie took the dogs out into the sandrun for a break from their kennels, x As usual Richard and Declan were kept busy with fixing things! I'm sure Richard will be pleased to hear the guttering stood up to the torrential downpour we had shortly before Ruth and I went home. :)) Xxx

Our lovely Mikey R has been fostered while he recovers from the infection in his paw. He had to have X-rays today so had another long day at the vets with no breakfast! We are very grateful to Caroline for taking him home. Xxx Sending Mikey my cuddle tonight. Xxx

What a lovely autumnal day, lots of sunshine and got really quite warm. We were missing Dave and Maisie Moo today, but still had lots of lovely volunteers. The dogs that could go on walks had both morning and afternoon walks. Thanks to everyone for their help today, Denise for opening up and to Bella who helped Denise clean the chicken house! Billy is becoming more confident and has actually started to play a little. Mikey the younger still loves his little outside enclosure, as does Gill!!! It was fairly quiet for visitors today, but a late viewing resulted in Joy being reserved. She must have known as with a little tweek to her feeding guide and the satisfaction of her reservation she finished all of her dinner! Thanks to Kitty who helped with cleaning first thing and then gave all the dog's a lovely groom. Lois also came in and walked the dogs this morning and helped sort blankets and towels with Kitty for our stores. Carol and Alison sorted food and washing, thanks both. As always stay safe and well all, hopefully we can soon start to organize some more events, watch this space!

As Lady Victoria mentioned, Joy has not been eating well. We put her breakfast in her kennel this morning, she was still not too keen. She did pick at it from time to time. However, she had a viewing this today and Wolfed the remains of her breakfast, she met the family, everyone fell in love and she was reserved! I had decided to change her diet a little by giving less burns and more of the 'good stuff'. Don't know if she knew she has been reserved and all being well is going home next weekend or liked the change of food, but she ate the lot. Whatever it was she enjoyed her dinner. X
