Izzy (Belle)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
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!'

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

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 🙂

So many lovely hounds looking for a home at the moment. I am giving my cuddle today to Lucy having been there so long. Having received the latest newsletter with Lucy in it along with Rocky and Arty I think, I really hope she will find a home soon.

lol... Big mistake in the microwave! What I do if its still a bit frozen just put a bit of boiling water on it. You will get into a routine, I just get three out each night, and store them in a tuberware container, normally they are pretty defrosted in the morning. Good luck let me know how you are getting on with it. xxxxxxx

Hello Sharon We had much the same issue with our Rose who wouldn't come in our lounge very often whilst James and Tom were in there. I always thought she was left out as she seemed to prefer to stay in the dining room in her own bed. That was until we recently bought a doggie duvet from Homesense, it is a square flattish cushion with a washable cotton cover - it was the best £19.99 we have ever spent as now Rose is the first one to go in our lounge and lie down, now we can't get her out of there. The cushion was that good we bought another two so all of our three have one and they snuggle up on them for hours. Although at times James or Tom will venture off to their own bed. I think at times they do like a bit of space to themselves. I don't think you should worry too much as I am sure Lily will soon be back in the lounge with you.

Just echo what Linda has said, my Blossom likes time out too. She will disappear off to our dining room for an entire evening sometimes and wont come when I call her (although that half hearted on my part as I know she is happy). I worried at first but Ruth explained some dogs just do this. So I leave her to it. I think also its a safe retreat for her when she gets a bit worried by visitors coming in, especially men or someone new! I still feel like she is being left out, but if I call my boy Reubes for some loves & cuddles she comes trundling through pretty quickly - never one to miss a cuddle is my girl. luv t
