Joey
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Sadly we have been unable to get in contact with the person who reserved Joey over 2 weeks ago and therefore we are presuming he does not wish to adopt him. Joey is therefore available for adoption.

Bess
I’m Homed
I wondered who had offered Bess a home so quickly - now I know I can't say I'm surprised! Hope she is settling in well with you. She looks lovely & has certainly got a good home very promptly. Hope to see you soon; maybe at Sutton Park. Val, Mark, Jet & Rosie xx

Macca

I don't think it's that, he's not actually going close enough to knock against it. I'm making sure that there is plenty of water in his Burns so that he doesn't get dehydrated. He eats better at night than in the morning. I'm wary of doing anything that will disrupt his eating - he needs to put on some weight. On a brighter note, he is an absolute angel around the house. When we eat, he tries it on a bit at first, but then he lies down next to the table and waits for us to finish.

Hi I realised my Lucy's metal ID disc was clattering against her dish and she was leaping backwards then dashing forwards again to her food (not going to miss her grub bless her) could it be something like that? J x

Bonny

Hiya Greyhounds have always had company (of other greys) so need to be shown that they can cope alone .. some are more nervous than others but a good system to start is sit in the room where her bed is and read a book plus give her a Kong full of nice sticky treats that'll be difficult to get out (obviously don't leave food down if you have more than one dog without supervision) .. then get up, don't make any sound, don't look at her, walk out the door and shut a childgate behind, stay in view, turn round, come back into the room, don't look, touch or speak to her and sit down .. carry on reading .. do this until she stays on her bed or doesn't whine at the childgate .. then you can stay in view doing something else like making a cuppa, return to the room as above. When she's settled and ignoring you leaving them go out of sight, come straight back, stay in view, do something, return to the room etc etc etc. You build it up little by little, if she gets overly worried go back a step till she's settled again oh and it often helps to leave a smelly jumper etc in her bed so she can smell you 🙂 I'd also increase her exercise .. a good hour in the morning and the same late afternoon/evening (with a late wee walk) can help them settle too .. then when she's in your routine and knows home is somewhere safe and not scarey you can reduce the walks.

I am so happy, we are exactly the same with our new little pea, I saw blue and he was a beauty, everything you blue is doing, our pea is doing, it's great to see them so happy isnt it, and what you get back is priceless.

Bonny

Hello, when i brought ellie home she followed me everywhere i went around the house, she also whined even if i was in the bathroom! what i found helped is that when she whined for no apparent reason other then ellie letting me know that she is looking for me is to say a firm NO! she would then just lie down and wait until i was ready for me to make a fuss of her, also have you got other family members who can take it in turns to give her dinner? encourange other family members to take it in turns so that bonny dose not see you as the only person who feeds her and take her for a walk, this will hopefully make her realise that her mom is not the absolute only person who is doing everything for her. In my home my husband takes ellie out every morning for her long walk , my 2 boys take it in turns to feed her and i take ellie out when i return from work in the afternoon, hope this helps. Ann and ellie-may.xx
