Trinny
I’m Homed
Trinny is quite subdued this morning. She has toileted outside and is drinking lots. She is tentative in walking around the house and not sure about the laminate flooring (the mats are in the wash from poor nervous Alfie)

Tinker

Tinker is already bounding around with her toys! She LOVES balls and is already building a collection on her bed. She is such a happy, waggy tailed girl who was very settled in her cage last night at our house following her spey yesterday.

Lovely Star has been good company today, I haven't been to well and she seemed to know so, nudging me for cuddles and staying close by.....such a sensitive soul. My Dad walked them today for me, and although she had only met him once she happily walked with him and seems to trust more easily xxxx

We are all naive when we first have our Greys and 4 Greys and 2 years down the line we are still learning!

Thanks for the comments they have set my mind at ease knowing that Bob's behaviour isn't any different from other greys. We are still learning and have been rather naive.

I agree. We have one of each and our boy is a lot less work than our pint-sized pocket rocket Emily. He's a gentle boy who likes to rest on his bed too, whereas Emily always seems to have ants in her pants! Love 'em both more than words can express, but the boys do seem calmer to me too - I just think that there is more of them to cuddle! Mand x

I totally agree with Kallie and Ruth. I have two girls and a boy. The boy is so much easier. He is huge 38kgs, but such a gentleman. We laff at him, he is only 3, and he acts like a pipe and slipper man. Please look at the boys, they are to so laid back, and will reward you with so much love.xxxxx

just to add to Ruth's comment about the boys waiting so much longer to be chosen, i am owned by three beautiful greyhound boys who are the most loving and gentle companions, by choice i would always have a dog as i find them very placid and easy to live with, the only difference being that they are bigger and stronger than their female counterparts....so if any of you out there are looking for a companion then have a look at some of the beautiful boys at the kennels, you will not regret giving one of them a home...xxx

The other problem is that children sound very different to adults and they move more quickly so if a dog hasn't been used to children they can be scarey 🙁 With time and patience and respect for the dog that usually changes and kids and dogs get along fine 🙂 Have a look on the Kennel Club website for their 'safe and sound' which is an interactive game to show kids and adults how to interact with dogs safely and full of great advice. I love 'growling' it warns me that the dog isn't ok with what's going on and I need to do something before the dog needs to 'shout'. J x

Alfie

Alfie is doing really well. He is clean in the night and following ours around and gaining confidence. He loves the window seat and getting used to lots of cuddles, different sounds, movements and his new routine. I really hope someone can come forward soon to offer him a home.

Hi Mutty22jaf! When a dog retires, their name goes on a waiting list (a bit like the NHS!) and they stay with the trainer until their name comes to the top of this list. This mainly applies to the boys as we have over 40 on the waiting list. As we home a grey, we take a next one of the list. There is virtually no waiting list for the girls as they home so much quicker so they pretty much come in as soon as they are neutered, and today I am off to pick up two girls direct from the vets..... so if anyone is looking - think of our handsome boys please! x
