Hi Stefan and Becky. Thankyou so much for your kind words about lily and layla. We feel we have done the best for these dogs. We were wrong and should of had a older dog. Your words are so nice. Georgina and myself have read them. I still cannot stop crying and have taken it the hardest. Please i do realise that Rome was not conquerd in a week. My other dog has gone so thin. We tried everything to make her eat by taking the others out. Tessa is 8 years old and likes to pick at her dinner but lily always finished it off so i had keep putting it away till she was ready to eat again. You can see the spine on my older dog now so will devote our time. These dogs r amazing and even with the training i gave them this week were lying and waiting. I just pray for them to be together. I will be watching them closely.

Have just "cuddled" Layla, as we can only cuddle one hound per day could someone give Lily a cuddle and we'll swop tomorrow! Hope you both find your forever home(s) soon be good and paws crossed x x Dreamer & Tom.

Stefan and I were so committed to homing a greyhound, but even we underestimated how hard it might be. We too had to return one after a very stressful week in which Clara both melted and broke our hearts, so don't be too hard on this family. We have been really surprised how long our greyhounds have taken to settle and I think we are only now seeing their true characters. Both dogs are amazing, we have had them 10 months and they both love Darcy the cat and are happy and able to communicate with us really well now....it does take a lot longer than a week and perseverence and understanding is key, but you also have to look after yourselves and your existing pets, it's a tough decision to adopt, but one I will never regret....I'll never want to own any other breed of dog and I thank daybreaks every day for our two waggy babies xx

Well, less than 24 hours after returning from the vets un-x-rayed as the machine had broken, part of Perdi's shoulder blade cut through the skin and was protruding, we dressed it securely and took her to the vets for opening time. She has had a second op, this time to remove some of the bone and round off the remaining bone and she is back home recovering. She seems much more comfy now and we are really hoping that she now finally starts to improve...it's been a terrible nightmare. Paddy has been a total star. xx

layla i am so sorry i had to take you and lily back. You have both made a big impact in our family life. I thought i could give you everything and have made your lifes great in the week you have been with us. But our poor dog Tessa was not eating well and has lost a lot of weight. We cannot stop crying and miss you both so much i wish you both the best happiest eva and hope you get homed together you both deserve it. U had so many kisse for us and will neva forget you both. I love you both and feel it was best for you both in the long run you need more room than what we had. I feel i have let you both down and am sorry lily and layla. Georgina is heart broken and is not my friend at the moment. I t wont be long you are beautiful. x x

Hi Mand, that's what the vet told me to feed mine when they had poorly tums - they thought it was great! They were also given a probiotic too (which cost an arm a leg) but I suppose yakkult would be a cheaper and more readily obtainable alternative? Hope she feels better soon <hugs> Em x
