Marnie
I’m Homed
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

I am pleased to say that Norris doing well despite an eventful week - he unfortunately broke his leg early last week and underwent surgery at the Willows Specialist Centre. He is recovering very well and receiving much TLC from Linda and Paul.

Fire
Over the Rainbow Bridge
How I wish Fire would go straight to a home instead of coming back to the kennels. He is sooo loving the home life now. Fire has integrated well in a home set-up. He learned the routines easily, can be left alone with other greys (not on his own though as he still prefers company whether human or grey), can sit on command, listens, clean (no accidents), sleeps through the night (and day! lol) and is starting to enjoy what retirement is all about. The fluffy fixation has been lessen but still interest him (most greyhound do anyway) but he listens when you ask him to stop or leave the toy alone. As with his keenness with other dog breeds, it is still a work in progress. I am quite confident he will get bored of them when expose everyday (through walks) in time. The day would come that it will click in his mind that he can be at peace with them. The more exposure to other dogs, the quicker Fire would overcome the keenness over them. As most who work on Fire at Daybreaks would attest, he is very affectionate. It is hard not to fall in love with this big fellow. He loves the fuss, kisses and cuddles. There are a few occasion when he would return the gesture by licking your hand or nose. 🙂 Please if you could offer him a forever home, just let Ruth know. He is ready for his loving family and for him to offer his heart.
