Hi again. In relation to insurance etc. most insurance companies cover with their pet insurance public liability. Also if you sign up as a member of the Dogs Trust for £25.00 per year (I think) covers you for public liability for damage to other pets or property. I signed up to this as our Vet plan doesn't cover this - just hope that I never have to use it!. I hope Rocky is ok..... and thinking too of his foster carers.

Was surprised to see you still there today lovely. And even having been in the kennels a while you were still keen to give out a smile and a waggy tail and clearly just wanted fuss.

Even prettier in the flesh, such a waggy tail and happy face. She didn't even mind Jim jumping all over her as he wanted all the fuss!

Teddy

Had a lovely cuddle with teddy this morning. He was barking in his kennel but as soon as he got out on his walk he just wanted to have a good nose around, he was so interested in everything but didn't even blink when two labradors barked at him. A real sweetie!

Rocky
Over the Rainbow Bridge
These pictures really put the emphasis on using muzzels and putting your hands through the leads and wrapping them round, at least if they lunge you wont let go and i'd much rather me fall down and get bruised than having to face the stress and worry that this can do. My 4 ALWAYS wear muzzels...i've had to learn the hard way too i'm afraid:( I hope poor Rocky has a speedy recovery with no complications and also his foster family im sending hugs to for their kindness in looking after him:) Has not the other owner of the grey got Household Insurance/Pet Insurance to contribute/cover the costs? Perhaps another thing to think about if we unfortunately end up in this situation? xx

Gemma is really settling now and slept all night without any issues, she is such a good girl. We took her on three walks yesterday and she loves all the new sights and smells. This is the second greyhound we have adopted, they are such lovely dogs and great with children.

Rocky
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I think what ever breed we own the lesson to learn is be vigilant in ensuring that our dogs are under control at all times.Although greys do rip and this appears to an attack by another Grey this was still a very nasty incident and there are lessons we can all learn from this. Best wishes to all affected by this especially Rocky

generally martingale collars do adjust and Ruth does sell them at the kennels, i have measured my Rossi who is about the same size as Sid and his neck measures 14" at the ear end 19" at the base of his neck and around 15.5" in the middle of the neck. hope this helps...

Rocky
Over the Rainbow Bridge
...as terrible as it all looks may i just point out that greyhounds do 'rip' incredibly easily and usually the wounds look a lot worse than they are....my Rossi and McKenzie had a slight argument about 18 month ago which lasted all of a split second and resulted in Rossi having to have three wounds in his side stitched...on a furry dog the damage tends to be just some tufts of hairs going missing but on our beloved greys it immediately results in long scars and lots of staples and stitches....amazingly enough they are also very resiliant and bounce back almost immediately....so here is to hoping that this beautiful boy will also bounce back very soon.... 🙂 xxxx
