Quick update after three days - all going really well. He's eating like a champ, starting to play with his cuddly hedgehog. Loves having a sleep in the garden. We had some manic antics in the garden last evening, which was lovely to see. Thanks to everyone, I'll update more in the future.

Fay is one for finding food while we are out. One time she walked all the way home carrying a Lamb bone. Another time she picked up a quarter of a orange. I am becoming an expert at getting tasty scraps from Fays mouth before she has a chance to enjoy them.

Ha, ha Julie, yes, why is it that Grey owners examine their dogs' poo so much. I remember the first time I walked Gent, I had to extend my arm to the fullest length to pick it up and boy did I wrinkle my nose. These days, I'm like Gillian McKeith I study it so much!! Hope Charlie is okay Fi. Gent ate a whole squirrel once and we couldn't catch him to get it off him. I tried to reassure myself by thinking that in the wild, dogs would eat what they caught (small bones included), but I did keep a close eye on him for any small signs that something might be wrong. He was absolutely fine thoughand wondered what all the fuss was about! Mand x

Hi Fi The problem with any cooked bones is that they splinter where raw bones usually don't, just keep an eye on him and his poos (favourite topic for grey owners anyway 🙂 ) and if he seems uncomfortable or strains but nothing appears or there's blood etc etc I'd get him to a vet asap. Having said that my Tig once passed a piece of wire with no ill effects so I'm sure he'll be fine 🙂 If he does it again I'd been told feeding as much bread as they'll eat can help cushion the bones sharp edges as it goes through them but check with your vet 🙂 Best wishes Julie

He chomped it and it was gone b4 i cud do anything - he's so naughty x x x I worried for days waiting 4 it to "pass" but it didn't - that was about 10 months ago or so !

Thanks sara, he was very pleased with himself!! Fly then dragged me across the grass so he could hunt himself some scraps...but I was wise to it by then. It does annoy me people littering full stop, and glass everywhere, I never noticed how much glass is everywhere until I had the boys! I hope he is ok, seems fine so I'll stop worrying. Hope you are ok lovely xxx

Hi Fi. Cracker n now Charlie hav been hunting kfc for years now. They kno where the local one is n pass it daily usually picking up scraps as they go. I try t look out 4 bones b4 they c them but most times they've eaten them b4 I realise. Up til now they've never had any bad effects in fact they very much enjoy the fact they've found there own food n seem very chuffed with themselves. I'm sure Charlie is just as pleased with himself n will do it nxt time he gets chance. I do wish people wud put the bones in the bin tho, it'll save havin t worry. X

Hi everyone... Whilst out on our walk this afternoon I think charlie may have eaten a small chicken wing bone, someone had dumped a kfc box in the grass and charlie got to it before I even noticed and ate something!!! This was about 2 hours ago and he seems ok and has eaten his tea and is asleep! Should I be worried? He hasn't choked or anything but I am a bit worried xxx

Flash
I’m Homed
Sunday (day 15 in her foster home) Flash has been in the house now for the last seven days after the caravan holiday. Still no accidents (remarkable) and has settled well. She is recovering from her mid-week spaying but also yesterday needed a bandage on the end of her tail after some over-enthusiastic wagging. She is interested in our cat who isn’t too keen but we had a similar situation when we brought our first grey home two years ago. After a time settling in and a scratched nose the two eventually got on and now tolerate each other and sometimes even play and share the fire. This needs some work and patience but Flash seems to be more interested in something new that moves and makes strange noises rather than showing aggression (presumably there are not many cats at racing kennels!) and the two have been kept apart. She is very talkative and enthusiastic when the leads come off the hook. She walks nicely on a lead and has been loose in an enclosed field.

Ged has been over to see his Auny Ruth before going to his new forever home with Mommy Sue. He is the sweetest natured dog I've ever come across, all he wants is to find people he can rely on and trust to love him, keep him warm, feed him so he's never hungry and who never gets angry with him..... funny, that's what we humans need too ;-). I'm in love with greyhounds.... lol...
