Evi (Tippie)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
A couple of months ago I put an update on about Mia as it was her first anniversary with us - today it's Evi's (formerly Tippie) turn to reach this milestone! We decided to get her firstly because we loved having Mia so much we thought another would add so much more and secondly because we thought it would help Mia as she is quite nervous to have another greyhound around to give her soem reassurance and keep her company when we're at work. When Tippie / Evi's story came up about her rotten teeth and being returned etc we fell in love even with her picture and collected her on May 14th. She's the happiest, funniest, most sociable and confident girl in the world although I've often told her that there was a mistake with her adoption papers - we went to get a greyhound and came home with a monkey instead! The first day she came she just walked in and started playing with the squeaky toys wihout even bothering to sniff around the house! We thought she looked so incredibly pretty and dainty and feminine that we bought all her coats and collars in pretty pastel colours - in fact she's the most unbelievable tomboy and the first week we let her off the lead she had to have a bath every day as she just kept jumping into muddy puddles and swampy ground in the field we let them off the lead in! Being a real "boy" at heart, she loves all ball games, never tiring of her tennis ball to chase. She made friends with some local children who play in the field and loves to join in with their games of football though she doesn't always respect the rules. Once she met some older children playing rugby and ran off with their rugby ball - fortunately they saw the funny side! Her favourite hobbies are trying to dig up moles and scrounging the bread from near the lake where people feed the ducks in the park in Kenilworth and in fact once someone was standing on the side with a large piece of bread in their hand just about to break it up for the ducks and we were passing with her on the lead and she just turned her head and gently took the whole piece out of the man's hand and swallowed it - I was so glad he laughed and thought it was really funny and wasn't cross! She is the complete opposite of Mia who is scared of lots of things - Mia and I are both a bit nervous of the swans on the lake as they always look a bit fierce and I always try to hurry past them - Evi pulls as hard as she can on her lead to get as close to them on the narrow path as possible and she wags her tail in delight if she can get them to hiss at her - she thinks they're just fascinating and seems to enjoy the risk of getting as close to them as possible! She seems to thrive on noise and bustle and whereas Mia tried to climb into the kitchen cupboard in terror in bonfire night, Evi simply stood in the garden with her ears pricked for a while watching all the fireworks in the sky and listening to the bangs then came in and went to sleep on the sofa with all four legs in the air! Whereas Mia is also a bit of a baby when she geth hurt, squealing even when Evi's tail hits her or even when she got a tiny electric shock when I took her coat off once, Evi shrugs off every injury with impatience in case it interferes with her fun and games. Once she ripped out a toenail and came trotting in from the garden as if nothing had happened and I didn't even realise until I saw all the blood coming from her foot - when she was rushed to the vet he said he couldn't believe she hadn't even cried out and seemed far more interested in a hamster in a cage when we got there than having her foot treated. She's just as entertaing at home - it never occurs to her that anyone coming to the house could be coming to see us rather than her and when some workmen came to do our drive she kept going out so they could fuss her and thought it was funny to keep running off with things they needed like their gloves and taking them into the house. She takes everything to her bed - when she first came she took bags, slippers, jumpers, a purse and even a toilet roll off the holder in the bathroom. She loves shoes and takes them to all different parts of the house and garden - sometimes it takes forever to reunite the collection of boots shoes and slippers with their pairs and in fact there is one we've never found which vanished about 9 months ago! She always loves it when I come in with the shopping and always takes a "prize" from the shopping bags if she can - fine if it's just a packet of food of some kind as she never damges or opens anything but once she grabbed a bottle of bleach which gave me a heartstopping moment and had to be retrieved and hidden away very quickly! Because she loves toys so much we've bought her almost every dog toy that has ever been produced and we decided after a while we'd sort of circulate them and let her have a few for a couple of weeks and put some away and then swap them - however one day she discovered the box in the garage where we'd put them and one by one she retrieved them and took them each back to her bed so we decided she's better be allowed all of them all the time as she loves them so much! She's always trying to think of new mischief to try out - currently she loves to dig holes in the garden but fortunately there are a lot of gravel areas where she can't do much harm! She looks very sweet and innocent but she loves to get her onwn way - she's the one who always wants to make the decisions about which walk she goes on and every walk has to be a circular walk - if you try to go back the way you came she thinks that's far too boring and digs her toes in and put her head down and won't move! Whereas Mia is always keen to go home after a walk, Evi would like to stay out all day, every day if possible; she's never tired of running around and exploring and having fun. I've often said that if they were "human" girls, Mia would be the good girl, always quietly doing her homework and going to bed early and Evi would be the party girl, always out on the town and coming home at all hours of the night! We feel very lucky and blessed to have beautiful Mia, kind, faithful, loving and gentle and Evi our Little Monkey, funny, lively affectionate and full of mischeif, always making us laugh and keeping us entertained! Here's to many more years hopefully with our beautiful and much adored girls and thank you for helping us find them and making them such a treasured part of our lives! xxxx

Hey Meggie, you helped save the day with Bella and saved her leaving Daybreaks with a right old grump on her. She was off the lead and you were a total lady, even ignored her growl as if to say 'silly girl, what are you on about'?! You brought a smile to our faces on a day that was looking pretty grim. Your Mummy Jill was amazing also telling us all about you. Can tell you've come from a lovely calm home and been well looked after. Wow. XxxxX

My poor Rosie, where do I start? You were so well behaved and very good with Sammy who also met you yesterday, but, Bella wasn't well behaved at all with you and I'm so sorry. Bella doesn't like meeting on the lead and didn't know what to make of your muzzle. We are going to give it one more go this week with you but change a few things. She is getting on a bit so bare with her. We won't upset you any more little Rosie Chops. Big hugs and sorry again, will see you this week some time. XxxxxxxxxX

Hi his bed is made by a company called Tested on Animals. It was £45 + postage from Amazon and it's 42". He can still stretch out in it as well as curl up as it's a bit bigger. The middle bit comes out so it can be washed. It's got a waterproof bottom to it and is quite lightweight. We decided he deserved to be spoilt and he loves it!

I have enjoyed every moment on that brief stay you had with us, Amber. I'll never forget every cuddles, licks, and laughter you brought us. You proved to be a challenge but that is overwritten by how amazingly sweet you are. You are just a puppy and I am happy that Simon understands that as you needed guidance and a firm family to let you learn rules, boundaries and limitations. You also need time to grow up as being a pup, everything is play with you. Simon and family - I am so pleased meeting you and Jay (he's a stunner!). I went home today from Daybreaks with a smile on my face thinking Amber is definitely home. 🙂 xxx
