still thinking of you alfie, hope your doing ok boy! He took his time to come out of his shell with us but he soon did, his very affectionate when he trusts you and he likes to be close to you to make him feel secure :), he gets very excited aswell when he see's you so them shakes soon turn to wagging tails and barking, he'll get there in the end with everyone helping him! If not i'm going to sneek him in my flat at uni hehe 😉 plenty of countryside up here for him to explore haha. lots of love to you alfie xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Mau, so pleased you sticking at it. Sounds like you are having fun! I still have problems with my girls, jealous over the toys and me. But we are working with it, would never ever send them back. They mean the world to me, and bring such joy into the house. You will get there, it's very early days. You also have Ruth to help you and people on the web site, they all have great ideas, and experiences. Pixie my first Grey, used to wee, every day without fail, but they soon stop. I know its a pain, but Cara will learn that its wrong. You made me laff asking Hubby for number three, they are very addictive though. Take care, always here if you need me. ( I live in Redditch) xxxxx

This is so desperately sad, she is so much better off back at daybreaks than living in a conservatory!! Its so sad how easily people give up on these beautiful dogs, especially when there is such a huge network of support available. very sad xxxxx

Is this the lady I tried to contact? I got no reply. Is there anything I can do to help? Our baby is 7 weeks old and although routines have of course changed we work hard with our grey Roxy to make sure that we still work as a family unit. Poor Misty, I feel so sad. 🙁

Thanks for the update Beryl, so pleased she is settling in. Sadly we won't be at Waseley as we are doing a roadshow at Webbs, I'm sure we will get them together soon. X

Cara
I’m Homed
Hi Mandy well what can i say there is never a dull moment when cara or camacara as she is affectionally known by all the family is around. As you know we have had some teething problems with her but we are in it for long haul, she is slowly getting there she still cries sometimes when she can't see me, the tablets and coat have worked at nights. We had a couple of accidents in the house weeing in the kitchen. They have been growling at each other and arguing over beds and just walking past each other really and barking, but i know it is just them finding their feet together. I also know they do like each other because if bonny leaves the room then cara will get up and follow and vice a versa. Cara has worked out that if she pushes at the stair gate at the bottom of the stairs she can climb over it and come upstairs which in turns makes bonny start to cry as she can't climb the stairs, like i said never a dull moment in our house. However she is a very loving girl who loves her food and treats, oh and cuddles and kisses from my family i.e. my two children lol, when my mum comes round she always brings doggy treats and they love it! some issues we still need to address i.e. jumping up, trying to take food of the side and a few other things. I have never regreted bringing her home with us as my keira loves it when cara comes into my bedroom and lies down next to her with her head on her lap. xxxxxx

this is very sad, but surely her grey friend who is still in the family home will fret and become distressed and miss her terribly now shes gone. Thats two upset dogs. couldnt they have been kept together, (would that have been kinder?) as a little twosome family unit? she looks such a sweet little thing. So pleased Daybreaks is there for cases like this and the very poorly little Dot transferred to you from the RSPCA, who was homed so quickly. You are all canine angels.

She reminds me so much of the state Pippa was in when she arrived. I am so glad we are able to help all the hounds possible, especially cases such as Dotty and Pippa - and despite it being hard work sometimes running the kennels, I know why my life changed to do work such as this......

Hi Jill, Agnes is settling really well, she's very quiet and gentle and finding the big wide world a curious place, but she's gaining in confidence every day which is lovely to see. We're being very quiet and gentle with her and she seems to trust us now and comes for some love and fuss more and more. We've been to the Sutton walk today and she found so many people a bit overwhelming but when I got the sausages out she soon perked up!! We'll be at Waseley next Sunday so if you can make it Zara can meet her mom! Berylxx

We decided not to do the sutton walk as we thought after making such good progress that we didn't want to push her to quickly into a busy occassion, so opted for a quieter walk, though we missed seeing everybody and all the beautiful greys. She is still doing really well xxxxx Each day she shows us a little more of her lovely character xxx
