Had to lift him in - no easy job - but no trouble getting him out again!! He has come through this very well - couldn't understand why he only got scrambled eggs for tea - where was the rest? Back to normal now - full rations, walks, cuddles etc etc how it should be. Loves lying in the sun, and has discovered the delights of paddling in the stream in the park. Hope all went as well with Gent and Wispa as it did for Macca. The Blunn family xxxxx

Toby was scared stiff of footballs when we first had him, I think it was the sound of them being kicked that scared him, but then he got stressed about carrier bags blowing in the wind too lol !! We nicked a football from our nephew and played in the garden, he was confused at first but when he realised he didn't have 2 back off and he could "kill" it he ran round proudly with the dead ball and only gave a passing glance 2 footballs in the park after that - didn't care less about footballs a few days later- hope this helps (sorry Jack I have just remembered we owe u a new football !!)

I hate footballs too..... in fact football in general! Try and walk her somewhere where they are not playing footie, until she has settled into her new routine..... don't forget she is a newbie as a pet - it takes months for her to learn everything in her new life, so if it is just footballs she is not keen on, wait until she is more confident with life in general and then tackle socialising with footballs! It is a massive life changing experience for greys to go from a racing life to a home life but she will get there with your support and patience x

It sounds like you've got your hands full tonight. Three post-op girlies - Nurse Ruth, you are amazing! Sounds like you deserve a big glass (or two) of the red stuff. Mand x

Wispa
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Oh bless her. Bet she's getting the most enormous hugs this evening! Gent had had his lesion removed today. Picked him up from the vets at 4.30 pm and he's been stuck in his bed staring into space ever since - I think he's worried to shut his eyes, in case he wakes up with another hole in his leg!! He was in Fivelands in Moseley and they said they had a few Greys in today. Where was Wispa? Maybe they were all keeping each other company in recovery?!! Glad she's home safe and sound. Mand x
