Norris
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thanks for the tip Foggie. He is coping with it at the moment apart from bumping into the furniture (and us) when he's moving round wearing it! So we will see how he goes. We can take it off at night mainly when we are with him as he's mostly fast asleep and dreaming so all thoughts of licking the wound are gone, and also while Paul is sitting with him during the day and he's dozing (Norris not Paul!) he will take it off. Any sign of intention to lick and it's back on. Bless. He's a good patient. xx

Billy
I’m Homed
Sorry Deb, I've only just seen your message...well Billy is such a star (I've been putting pictures and messages on the Daybreaks Face book page) I'd say it took him about 4 days to start to be really settled and each day he's getting his "spark" back, it's been a joy to see, today's first was a lovely lick on my nose! He's clean in the house, gets on with my greys and loves my 2 older boys, he doesn't react to non greys, he said a nice hello to a spaniel today, just looked to me for reassurance. He's not an obviously nervous dog, he'll go straight up to unknown people for fuss, he just wants to feel he's a good boy, which means he tries really hard to please...I will give Ruth the full low down on Thursday when he's back at kennels (poor Ruth, I have lots to gush about!) we have loved having him here and will miss him very much...we hope he won't be in kennels very long, he really deserves a forever home x

Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I took Jack to the park again today as the weather was perfect for getting action shots. He had a fabulous time zooming around and his recall is good when he isn't in selective hearing mode. Here are some photos I took of him when he was running about: https://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b460/Remint/Foster%20Greyhounds/003.jpg https://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b460/Remint/Foster%20Greyhounds/004.jpg https://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b460/Remint/Foster%20Greyhounds/005.jpg https://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b460/Remint/Foster%20Greyhounds/006.jpg https://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b460/Remint/Foster%20Greyhounds/007.jpg https://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b460/Remint/Foster%20Greyhounds/008.jpg https://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b460/Remint/Foster%20Greyhounds/009.jpg Sorry if the images are a bit pixelly, I didn't realise at the time that my camera settings weren't quite correct. Jack has been such a fantastic foster dog and I am so happy to have met him, he really is such a special guy. I wish him lots of luck in his new home and I hope he has a fantastic life there, he really does deserve it.

If the lamp shade drives him mad you could try customising an old cotton tee shirt that covers the wound but isn't too tight. Good luck to Norris xx

it is very difficult not to make a judgemental comment having seen his picture. Just glad he is back where he can be checked over and hopefully gain weight.what a different picture to the first one on the website. I am sure he will enjoy a week at the seaside with Jane and Joe

That's so typical of little boys - they all love to pick their scabs!!!! By the way, Norris and The Girls, has a lovely ring to it - sounds like a band! Glad to hear he's doing so well. Mand x

Goodness, he doesn't have much meat on him does he? Hopefully a bit of sea air and some well deserved spoiling will do him the world of good. Good luck Joey - be good! Em x

Norris
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Norris Update! He went to the vet at Fivelands yesterday to have his wound checked. They removed the elastoplast and everything is absolutely fine. It's a very neat job and I don't think there will be very much to see once the hair grows back. (He does have a very neatly shaved leg right up to mid thigh!) He's booked in now to have his stitches out next Monday. Paul said he met a collie x in the vets and Norris didn't react so add that to the non-greyhound he met at training, all points to him being other-breed friendly with calm dogs at least. Bad news for Norris is that he needs to wear a lampshade for the next week as he is just too interested in the wound. It's only a week (as the vet said to him) and we must keep it dry to get it nicely healed. He's having a post breakfast snooze at the moment so that's it for now folks. Lots of love to all from Norris and the girls xxx
