Hi cinders, when we adopted ellie in feb we bought a greyhound soft toy from ruth at the kennel, as soon as ellie had it she immediatly started to knibble at it, ever since then she does it all the time , from what ruth told me as i had never had a grey before this is what bitches do to there puppies they "knibble at them", ellie is constantly always knibbling at the toy. not sure about the cotton sheets and pillows though, Ann and ellie-may.x

Just a question as we're curious about something... a few weeks ago Mia has started nibbling on the cotton sheets and pillow cases where she sleeps (on our beds of course!) it's not a problem, she never does any damage (apart from a slightly soggy pillow!) but does anyone know why she does it? She's definitley not hungry(!) she's fed on Burns, has lots of toys to chew and lots of hard chews as treats. It can't be boredom as she gets 3 good walks a day and she isn't left alone for too long and has her greyhound sister for company; in fact when she started it was towards the end of our summer holiday from school when she was hardly having any time without us at all. If it's just a sort of "hobby", it's no problem - it's just that she looks a bit frantic when she does it so hopefully it isn't as sign of anxiety or anything? She never does it downstairs on the sofa or anything, only when she's lying on cotton on the beds upstairs!! And she only started a few weeks ago when we'd had her nearly 6 months. Thanks - just curious!

Blue
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Soooo a whole week at home, it feels like has always been here...today we went for a walk and it rained...blue was LESS than impressed and froze on the spot...my husband had to coax him ALL the way home!! I dont think i will plan anymore rainy day walks for a while!! I actually think he could smell the rain coming as he wasnt hius happy usual self on the walk at all... He is continuing to settle really well, sleeps all night soundly without a peep downstairs, his character is starting to show more and more and he deffinatly has a stubborn streak! I have some more photos so I will email them in for you to see incase you want to see more! :o) A really lovely boy xxx

So, Pearl made it home, had her dinner (nothing wrong with her appetite!), did her business outside, had a good look around her new home (but hasn't tackled the stairs yet!). She had her coat brushed, her new jacket put on and went for a nice long walk and she behaved very well. Now she is lying on the rug where she hasn't moved from in the past hour!! All good so far 🙂 x

Yes, Ina, it is Char. He was rehomed direct from the trainer/owner you know to a volunteer and sadly circumstances have changed where she cannot keep him any more.... she is very upset about this but the situation is out of her control. He is very sad and distressed about being back in kennels after being loved so much and I hope we can find him a home very very soon.

Arrived home safely, quick look round the garden before big nose around the house then tea, didn't take long to finish that then off for walk! Fantastic girl on a lead. Saw a cat n was very interested, oh no we thought but that was the end of the interest, infact we walked passed notha 2 n ignored them. Encounted all sorts n sizes of dogs, 1 even barked and lunged, Goldie, well, she just sauntered past, what a love. Now curled up on her bed!
