Huggie
I’m Homed
Glad that Huggie is slowly settling in with the cats. Give him a big hug from me, I am so glad he has a new home and I hope that it will be forever as he deserves it. He is such a good natured dog and was getting lots of fuss from children on the roadshow.

I was sad seeing the RIP sign on Marty, such a gentle, loving boy, so sweet whenever I saw him & was glad when someone gave him the home he deserved, I am glad he had his last few months, full of happiness with a family, thoughts are with them during this time, Run Free Roman Nose xx

Minnie
I’m Homed
For some reason this morning I thought of Minnie as myself and my hubby were talking about our Tom's racing family. I had been looking at their info on Greyhound Data some time ago, I realised looking today that Minnie is our Tom's sister. Reading up on Minnie here she sounds just like Tom very loving and likes a bit of fun too. She may suit a family if she is like Tom as he is very friendly and ok with other dogs. I hope that Minnie finds a home very soon.

Red
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi T .. I like it LOL Something that may help him to use his poorly leg .. get two kiddies hair scrunchies and put one on each hind leg- either above the hock or at the bottom (wrist) and ask him to walk for a little while - 5 mins max at first, encourage him with nice 'sweeties' then take it off as he'll be using muscles which he hasn't used for sometime and they will tire easily and you don't want to strain them. You may need to use 4 scrunchies - one on each leg, just see what helps him 🙂 but keep it short aand gradually build up to using the scrunchies for longer and even for his walks 🙂 Hope your knees better soon - I've just really hurt mine- doc said ligaments but the wonderful Emma Bryce has worked miracles in one session and I can walk on it and it hardly hurts ... shame my plan of 2 weeks off work to watch the Olympics failed LOL See you soon Julie xx

Fearne
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I just kept looking back at Fearnes face everyday and feeling sad so this news is Fantastic . I just hope that the new owners use the support and advice that Daybreaks gives and this forum to tell us all about the good times and the not so easy times , the not so easy times soon become fond , lasting, funny and great memories as your new dog starts to understand just how loving us humans can be and then brings you a washing up sponge from the kitchen sink to say thank you... All the best Fearne and your new owners...( and if you need and more inspiration look at dog 770) Jeffrey , Carrie and Teddy xx

Dan
I’m Homed
It has been a very sad day today within our family as Dan has left us to cross over Rainbow Bridge. He was a wonderful dog and he will be sorely missed. He gave us wonderful memories over two and half years and we hope he enjoyed his retirement with us. He had been ill for a while and is now no longer in any further pain. We hope that he is running free with the other greys as he always used to pretend to be racing in his sleep. We would like to personally thank Ruth for her support and putting us in touch with Christian who helped enourmously within his final weeks. God Bless and sleep tight - Aka "Mr Dan" - you will always be in our hearts - RIP xxxx

Red
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Ha Ha Ha, guess whos back at my house - my munchy monster! Red has settled straight back in, back to our routines immediately. Now he CAN walk on all 4 legs, I'm training him to "go" on our lawn, not our patio....he doesn't like NO, LOL! He has had a couple of very short & very slow walks, to make him put that foot down as he still likes to keep it up all the time. He is funny. He is still stealing & chewing, my housekeeping skills have bucked up again, that said when we were having group hugs today he stole a hairbrush right in front of me.....can't contain his excitement!! Love this boy so much...........
