Sid
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Sid is settling in fine and slowly coming out of his shell. Still reluctant to go walking and as soon as he sees his collar and lead he promptly sits down and doesn't budge,Sometimes he shivers aswell which worries us! Yesterday we thought we'd made progress as we gently lifted him outside and once he got going he seemed fine although it took him about 10 minutes to get himself together before he did move. We've given him plenty of treats and praised him loads both on the walk and when we get back. Do you think that we should try a harness instead of a collar? We're also getting together with another greyhound owner this weekend, we're taking Sid to meet him and try to go for a walk to try to get his confidence up. He's playing with his soft toys in the garden every now and again and moving around the house more so he's getting used to us and hopefully will come into the lounge area soon. he's also great with our cat and really just wants to play with him but Gizmo is not amused!

Chewy
I’m Homed
Hi Kerry, we're taking things very slowly with the cat. The cat isn't the slightest bit bothered about Chewy now - he tried to climb onto his back yesterday! Chewy is a bit more interested - although having said that, this morning I had them both together (Chewy with his muzzle on obviously), and other than a couple of times when I said a firm 'no', he's been fine. I think given half a chance he would give chase, but he's very good at responding to orders which helps! How're your collection of greys and kitties?

Leo

Brilliant news-so glad Leo has found a new home with Rosie and some new canine (and human!) friends. Was a bit worried about him as one of our previous hounds had separation anxiety & know this can cause problems. This has made my day!

Leo
I’m Homed
Leo and Rosie are doing just fine - in fact, we officially adopted them today! Leo is a big old cuddle-monster who is a dream. Rosie is a lovely lady in the house - but a mare outside! They are happily living with me, Mr P, Tosca (Leo's full sister) and 10 year old Bestie hound. :))
