Bonny
I’m Homed
at the kennels we tend to pair up boys and girls together and that seems to work very well, however i have 3 boys and i know plenty of people who have 2 girls together, ultimately it depends on personality, let Bonny choose her mate and you can't go far wrong, that's what i have always done with mine, they choose their companion and i go along with whoever they feel happy with...glad to hear that she is doing so well, she is such a lovely little lady 🙂 xx

Bluey is going to have company this weekend 🙂 Saturday we are meeting up with harry for a walk and then sunday we are meeting up with another pair of greyhounds that I have been put in touch with, I really hope he enjoys their company and it makes him feel a bit happier about being outside! x

Bonny
I’m Homed
We've got one of each and they get along perfectly okay, but then I know people who have a couple of girls together and Ina has three boys! I guess it comes down to getting the right companion for Bonny. Taking her to the kennels to meet a potential companion is the best thing to do and see how they get on. Don't rule out a boy though - I know some of them can seem enormous, but after a while, you barely notice their size at all and I'm sure 'Daddy' would love another boy in the house!!!! Mand x

can anybody advise as bonny is a girl and when i get my next greyhound(i am so hooked now!) does it matter if it is a boy or girl for companionship for her? Or is it based on their personalities?

George (Stevie Sunshine)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
It brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes when Stevie Sunshine saw his trainer Steve today when he visited. It was clear that Stevie remembered him and his tail didn't stop wagging frantically. Steve and Louise brought all the Daybreaks inmates treats, bones and pilchards which I know they will love. My love goes to Steve (and Louise) during Steve's terrible illness and I am grateful he was able to come to visit Daybreaks and see his ex-racers (Arty, Ronnie and Stevie) who meant the world to him.

Fizz
I’m Homed
Hi, Just a quick update, Fizzy is doing really well. Had a few problems with her when we went to work, so had to have a crate, as she trashed the kitchen/diner. Ooops. Soon cleaned up though. No real damage. The crate seems to be working ok, think Fizz is finally getting to know our routine, and that we have to work and will come back. Apart from that, she is smashing and we love her to bits. xx

Yes that's correct Kallie. Ebony is also Paddy's (fawn dog) sister. All three came from the same litter.

Macca
I’m Homed
Macca is an absolute star!! Loves his walks - now without his muzzle as he's so good with other dogs. He still has this "thing" about his bowl stand - he has a brilliant appetite(!), but won't eat from his bowl unless someone is holding it for him. It's the same with his drinks, only worse! He won't drink from his bowl at all, but will drink if you put water into your hands and offer it. Isn't it odd??? Other than that, he is a happy boy, adapting very very well to being a much loved member of the family. He loves playing in the garden where has discovered the pleasures of digging. Love to all Macca's friends at daybreaks, Jackie B
