Joey (Mr Grey Face!)
I’m Homed
As we already have a Joey at the kennels, this Joey must be Mr Grey Face..... he is absolutely adorable and his little grey face makes him look far older than he is.

Fergie (Little Pea)

Poor little pea broke a nail today while playing and believe me when a grey squeals the whole world hears it, they are such wimps but she soon calmed down and soaked up the kisses snacks and tickles for hours and hours and really milked it, bless her xx

I fell in love with this little girl at the weekend - she is beautiful and loved leaning up for a cuddle. She's Cookie's half sister and I would snap her up if my lovely madam wasn't quite such a madam! She'll make a lovely pet for someone and has lots of love to give.

Lily

Hi Sharon No problem 🙂 We're all here to help each other especially as we've usually had greys like yours ourselves 🙂 They are very different to 'real' dogs LOL and have had a different upbringing and of course have been working dogs so have had different routines 🙂 Like people they need a bit of time to get used to changes but they do get used to retirement - some do it quicker than others but they all get there 🙂 In my experience most of the unwanted behaviours ... pulling on the lead, not toileting outside, barking/lunging at other breeds is because they're scared of this whole new world and just need time and understanding and a bit of training :). Your Homechecker will be able to help I'm sure and if you ever can't contact her and need help we are all happy to do what we can .. our numbers will be in the Pack that you got with Lily or ask on here 🙂 Best wishes Julie 🙂

Blaze
I’m Homed
Blaze is home, its confirmed he has suffered a spinal . He is on the road to recovery and can walk unaided but just looks like he's been on a bender. He has to go back in four weeks for a check up. Blaze was very happy to be home back to his favourite bed, Gracie and Ellie giving him lots of kisses. Will keep you unformed on his progess

drdolittle, I have joined the group on facebook for the kennls and im more than happy to post updates and photos for you to see if you wish. He will be very very loved here, its been 2 years since our last greyhound went to the bridge and its taken us a long time to feel ready for another one...i think we might have found a real gem in bentley, we feel very lucky...he was a true gentle giant with my little ones today and totaly relaxed about the whole thing. We will be sure to take very good care of him. Like I said, im always happy to offer updates/photos if you would like them xxx
