Emily (aka Nina)
I’m Homed
Emily had her first check-up yesterday after her op and Christian was very pleased with her progress. She's got another new bandage (Shrek green - not as nice as pink!!) and needs another review on Monday. She was a little scared on the way home and did a poo in the back of the car! Not very ladylike at all, but looking back, she did the same thing when Ruth took her to the vets to be speyed, so she's just a little worry-wart. Anyway Daddy cleared it up (phew Mummy was still at work!) and she soon calmed when she saw big bruv Gent. Still no walks, much to her disgust when Gent gets his lead and coat put on! Mand x

Our grey, Mary, had terrible separation anxiety. We were off work/school for her first four weeks with no problems but when we started leaving her, she became totally distressed. We had some excellent advice from a lovely lady from Greyhound Gap and managed to overcome this, fortunately, but we had to work very hard and it took time. Now she's much more relaxed and settled, but she goes in her crate when we leave her as she gets into mischief otherwise! I hope Belle manages to overcome her anxiety soon. Good luck!

I agree with Goldie's mum - I hope they are not put off.... The good thing is they met our family of greys and if we could just find a Basil or Wispa clone, this will be perfect..... they have also met Foxy which is enough to put anyone off ha ha! Belle had a comfy night here but does have awful separation anxiety when you leave her so we are going to try and help her overcome this... She is just so beautiful it is such a shame she can be so stressed 🙁

Very sorry to hear things didn't work out this time for Belle and her owners. I hope Belle will find a home with a friend to keep her company and her previous owners will maybe try and re-home another needy hound in the near future. Kind regards xx

Belle is being returned to the Trust this evening as she is still struggling to settle as an 'only child'. I feel so sorry for her owners because they have tried everything. She is gradually improving but it is kinder for her to find her a home where she has the company of perhaps another dog which will make her happier. I took Wispa and Foxy to visit her on Monday evening and she was wagging her tail and clearly happy to see her greyhound friends. She will stop at my house until we can find her a home as the kennels are full at the moment.

Grace has been such a quiet girl all night 🙂 She has slept well in the cage and is now out - muzzle firmly in place and wagging her tail! She is just gorgeous but will definitely suit a home where she is an 'only child!'

Grace

ok.... she looked at me as I was closing the kennels and had to bring her home with me! Grace can be a little grumpy with others so she told all my greys off on arrival but with her muzzle on she was no real threat! She has settled amazingly in the large cage we have here in our kitchen away from ours. It is strange how she can be so stressed in a kennel at Daybreaks but so very very settled in a cage here! She is a real sweetheart x

Lily
I’m Homed
Hi Sharon, I have just received your voicemail (sorry I couldn't get to the phone) about changing Lily's food to a different variety of Burns. Of course it is ok to do this however I thought you were going to try what has been suggested below tho! Just remember, if you are changing her food you need to do this gradually over a few days. Sorry I can't call back just now as I am on my way to the vets.... again! If you need help with ordering from TPMS, just give Julie a call on 07747754759 and she will happily help 🙂
