Well Bullett the Icemaid was a character, I think she would not have been too pleased at her daughters behaviour as she was so laid back, but when Flossie took off it was such a shock. Shame her legs got so bad at the end. Sylv and John xx

This boy came to training again on Saturday and he is unrecognisable from a few weeks ago.His coat is amazing now and he looks like a different dog.His mum has been using a natural herbal remedy based on nettles and the difference is unbelievable. He is the original gentle giant and particularly adored by Jo an elderly lady who comes to watch the dogs at training he snuggles up to her waiting for the treat she has fetched him. He is one handsome boy!

We have the same problem a garden that looks like a racing track and brown spots everywhere.We have recently reseeded part of the lawn more in hope than anything else. Looked up dog rocks on the internet and always thought they were something you put in the garden for the dogs to wee on not put in their drinking water! I think we have accepted our garden will never be the same since having Millie which isn't a problem but managing muddy paws in the winter is a bit of a pain!

Mindy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well the sad day was a hit with the weather. As we live close to a canal & Mindy loved her walks there, we decided to take her on a day boat from Stoke Golding to Market Bosworth. Leaving just after 10 and approx.15 mins into the journey doing the correct thing with a narrow boat on the side away from the tow path, friend June and I sat in the open part at the front holding Flossie's collar, a dog barked at her on the towpath, Flossie jumped up high and with a big splash 'YES GREYHOUNDS CAN SWIM' then came the problem of getting to the towpath side in an area one could get off, John steering, friend Sam jumped off, Flossie passing the boat going in the direction we had passed, a moored boat we had passed pulled her from the water and all was well after drying her off. On the return journey we scattered Mindy.s ashes between bridges 30 & 29 so in future we have access to the towpath from the road. With things I had forgotten it was Flossie's b/day yesterday now aged 6 Sylv & John

Meg has settled really well and is very happy. She is no trouble at all. We are planning to go to the Great Greyhound Walk Day at Lickey Hills on 26th June so can meet Rosie there if you are going.

Hi Liddy we had the same problem, we decided to put down bark chipping we just made sure that we used the ones that don't contain cocoa chippings, we had them from B&Q we just top them up once a year. They really helped with the muddy paw problem in the winter 🙂

Hi Liz.... I will also be interested in any suggestions that come along as Lola & Lena have created a dirt track up our garden where they run to the top of the garden looking for the squirrels in the trees. Add to that the places the girls pee and the result is not as much green as there was pre-greyhounds! That's with 2 so I can only imagine the devastation that 3 cause! Am trying dog rocks now for the brown spots though think it might be too little too late! Love 'em to bits though and wouldn't be without 'em!! Linda xx
