Joey
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Joey arrived yesterday with his owner who was very uspet to leave him. I was so saddened to see how skinny he was. I took him home with me and he has gone straight out to the lovely Jane and Joe on trial. He is off to Padstow on holiday at the weekend and I know he will be spoilt rotton!

Hi Mand... thanks for your lovely words... and you are so right about the girls! Norris and Lena are best buddies and Lola checks him out whenever she comes back from her walks just to see that all is in order and then does her own sweet thing as always! Love to you and yours from all the gang here x

Hi Jeff, you are obviously made for each other! Although I don't think Carrie will be too impressed being linked with the word "grubby"!! Like the idea of it not raining on Mars, when's the next shuttle leaving?! xx

Whilst , in one way , Im not serious about this question , in another way , I am.... Do Greyhounds come from Mars or out of space ? because they are definitely not like normal dogs from Earth . Carrie has now gained loads of confidence , a noticeably thicker coat and she really has discovered how to Roo when I wake in the morning , its so pretty , I shouldn't encourage it , but , to wake up and have a dog sing to you is something proper special... She still wont go out in the rain , Ah well , maybe is doesn't rain on Mars..

How lucky is Norris to be staying at yours while he's recuperating?! His prospective new owners can be assured that Linda and Paul will be treating him like a king while he's in their care, they are two of the most kind and thoughtful people I know. I bet Lena's loving having a house-guest, while I can imagine Lola's taking it all in her stride!!!! See you all soon and big hugs to you and the gang. Mand x

Marnie

Marnie joined 20+ other greys for a 2 and a half mile walk on Cannock Chase yesterday. She seemed to benefit from being with greys again, even though it was pouring with rain. She is still a little shy, but soon settled and especially enjoyed the sausage and biscuit reward at the end of the walk. She even stood and had her nails clipped bless her! We are very happy with how Marnie is taking to her retirement, she is such a joy and we wouldn't be without her now.

Norris is doing really really well. He enjoyed having his visitors yesterday (Ruth, Rob and his prospective new owners). Lena thought the visitors had come to see her.. but that is another story... 😉 We can see the changes in him day by day as he feels stronger and more comfortable. With a plate and 6 screws stabilising his hock, he's got at least 6 weeks of being confined to one room so he can't run about with a good number of 5 min trips into the garden. He does get a change of scene regularly though - conservatory, lounge and their bedroom..... If things are going well after 6 weeks we can up the exercise slightly before he is reviewed at the Willows in 8 weeks time. He is eating really well and is clean and quiet in the house. All in all a really lovely boy who will be a great pet hound. He's off to the vet today just to get the wound checked. He has no cast on his leg, just an elastoplast at the moment which will come off today as it hasn't fallen off. Stitches should come out a week today. Will post regular updates for all the Norris fans out there.... xxx

Well going on our Sheena who we fostered before taking her on after she had a smashed leg in her owners kennels, she recovered but not to race again and is the greatest of dogs, but at 2 just like a puppy. Hope Norris is soon on the mend love the New Icemaid Clan.X
