Alfie

Alfie is staying with us at the moment. When you're not watching him he'll come out of his bed & into the lounge. You have to let him come to you, if you move towards him he will go back into his bed. When Aimee was here for the night he was very confident with her. They obviously have got a bond & Alfie felt a lot happier when he was around her.He's still very nervous though & he needs to be in a home where they give him lots of TLC & lots & lots of patience. It'll take a long time but I know it'll be worth it in the end & then Alfie can really relax & enjoy his retirement.

we met your reserved family on Sunday I was rather confused when your new mummy seemed to have 4 greys rather than the usual 3 with her! Hope all goes well for you all and and the reserved sign turns to rehomed.

Hi, I also feed mine on raw food, and also get this from Redditch. I buy a mixer from them to, just to bulk the meat out. My three are doing really well on it, lovely shiny coats, and small poo's. I worked out it costs me about .55p a day to feed each Grey. The meat disgusting, but they just love it, there eyes are poppoing out there heads at feed time. xx

Just to add to your fun, my Blossom cost me a fortune a few weeks ago as she got to the back of my work top - and high up & ate an entire bag of Raisins - 500g, in 40 minutes. Well I knew they were toxic so called the vet - £102 later & 2 greyhounds had been given vomit inducing meds. 6 raisins is enough to cause kidney failure - who knew so few could do so much harm!! My poor boy Reubes was made sick and he hadn't eaten a single raisin - not fair. Last week Bloss also ate the remaining half of my fish n chips when I got distracted so I still haven't learned LOL!

Hi there, I had the same issue with my 2 almost 12 months ago, I tried everything everyone suggested, and in the end though I felt I was giving in, they came & slept in my bedroom - peace & quiet - bliss. After a few days we moved them onto the landing just outside our bedroom with the door open and then eventually the door was closed. We all get a good nights sleep now and just occasionally I have to get up to do a loo run in the night. Have you got a DAP plugged in too? They work soooo well. Best of luck to you.

Hi Sharon83 🙂 Burns is expensive but it should work out not much more than the cheaper ones as you don't feed as much of it (do you weigh out how much they should have? Its on the back of the asck) We find that when greys go into a home for the first time they can be very stressed (tho don't always appear to be) so their metabolism gets faster and they burn off food quicker than usual and can appear very hungry ... you can add some cooked brown rice and some chopped up veggies to their Burns to 'pad it out' andmaybe try some carbs like pasta which are filling too. Most other complete foods especailly the cheaper ones have lots of cereal in themas cheap fillers - you end up pcking up lots of poo, sometimes their house training goes to pot and dogs aren't meant to eat cereals so better if you can stick to the Burns if possible. I feed raw food tho and that works out very reasonable - I buy my meat froma pet food wholesaler in Redditch - TPMS, and their meat for a month cost me £28 🙂 I add cooked brown rice and veggies plus a few other bits .. check out BARF diet or google 'raw feeding' as there's lots of info on the internet, its very easy once you get your head round it 🙂 Best wishes Julie
