Monty (Chase)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We have had Monty a week now and the love he has given us in that time is huge. I woke up this morning and he was by the side of the bed fast a sleep. He followed me downstairs for a cuddle. I let him in the garden before I went to work and he just stared at me and went back to bed. He is starting to realise that he don’t have to follow us everywhere now. He is amazing and has really helped us all the past week. He has settled in well and just goes where ever he wants. Don’t be late with meals because he will tell you.

An earlier than normal diary post today.... Thanks as always to our Wednesday Walkers, Denise and Chris for their help today and to Dave who gave the treatment room a good clean. I had a few days off so it was nice to be back in the kennels surroundings and see the residents. Yes, Shanesmum, things have moved around but the place looks great. A very big thank you also, to Tony and Steve from Devils Own Motorcycle Club, Warwickshire for their very generous donation of food which was collected by the club, we were one of several lucky recipients of their fundraising event. They will also have a cash donation for us once all monies have been collected. They told us that hopefully this is going to be an annual event. Unfortunately, the photo that was taken did not come out, so we are going to try and contact them and get them to send a copy of the picture they took so once they do we will be able to share that with you!!!!

It was a busy day today! :)) Nicky came to meet Joe and take him home to introduce him to Jato. Fingers crossed she likes him, but what's not to like he is tall, dark and very handsome! Not to mention his dazzling personality! Xxx We had several visitors to collect food and drop off bedding, thank you so much. Xxx Alan brought gorgeous Paddy for a pamper with Lucy. Despite being a little wobbly he seemed to enjoy all the extra attention. Xxx We had a lovely family come along to get to know the Greyhounds better....Xxx This afternoon, Ian, Deborah and Sam accompanied by Monty popped in to officially adopt him. Xxxx What a super little lad. I agree with Ian that Barney and Russ have sent him especially for them. Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for your help today. Many thanks to Norman for taking little Millie to the park. 🙂 Xxx

I always believe things are meant to be and barney and russ will definitely have sent him to help you and will be in monty so still with you in their own little way. Love to all xxx

This is just brilliant for Monty and his wonderful new family. All things must pass and after the heartache of losing Russ so suddenly and also Barney I prey that your luck will change. To suffer such a loss and be there to offer Monty a fabulous new life is fantastic. May you all have a very happy and long future together xx

I am so very happy that you have all given Monty the chance of his forever home. I know how incredibly difficult this has been for you all after losing Russ so very tragically. He is one very lucky boy and I wish you all lots of adventures and happy times together. Love from Jo and the furry four. Xxx

Over the Rainbow Bridge
So it’s been an eventful week. We wasn’t going to rush into anything but we read Monty’s story and we felt he was our perfect dog. We couldn’t really resist and had to go and meet him. So we took him home for the weekend and he has been golden. He sleeps all night without a fuss, no accidents at all, he does what he is told and he is so laid back. He is a little fuss monster who loves a lean. He greets us every morning with a waggy tail and a hug. We have learnt a few things though.. he likes to dust the house as he ran off with the duster, he likes to take out the rubbish because he ran off with the bin bags and he is also an alcoholic after drinking mummy’s cider… We will need to work on that. He had a great birthday. We took him to Pets At Home and let him pick out a toy. We ended up with Maisy the cow! We also ended up with a doggy cupcake and some popcorn… Monty came with us to the caravan. He really helped us as it would have been a very hard weekend. He travels very well in the car and sleeps all the way. He found the sofa and seemed very relaxed. He isn’t sure about the beach yet but I’m sure he will learn to love it! Lastly we are convinced both Barney and Russ sent us Monty. He is the mixture of them both. They are always in our hearts and we thank them for making our lives special. We still think about both of them so much and still miss them everyday. Monty has been a huge help since our loss and we are happy to give another hound a home. Thank you to Daybreaks too for everything they have done.

Millie

Millie enjoyed her visit to Elmdon park today and at only 3 years of age everything is obviously fresh and new to her. Therefore she was very curious at seeing the many different breeds there today but did not show any aggressive behaviour although caution will be needed till she becomes socialized fully. She was also quite keen on the lead and probably wouldnt be suited to a frail or inexperienced handler. However in time I'm sure she will become more relaxed in all ways.

Brilliant to see Joe Reserved today. He is such a lovely lad. :)) Bocko and Prince came in to use the sand run this morning. They both looked great! Two very handsome boys! Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. All had their teeth cleaned and a groom. We were able to go on morning and afternoon walks. I had the pleasure of taking Joe for a stroll. :)) The new office arrangement is good....but if anyone can tell me where the Worming Tablets are I would be very grateful!! :)) Xx Xxx
