Ellie-May
Over the Rainbow Bridge
well we had a very good 1st night with ellie-may, she mangaged to sneak up stairs in the night came up to me and gave a me a kiss to let us know she had found our bedroom !, she slept well, she let us know when she needed to go out which is good. been shopping and came back after about an hour half and no problems. our 3yr old grandson is coming over later to meet her so fingers crossed he won't be too put off by her size.xx

Iris
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Well Iris has now discovered our bed! Went upstairs last night and there she was spread out with that"I'm not moving for anyone" look on her face! She is being a good girl with the cats but just wants to "eat" the chickens, thank goodness they are safe behind lots of chicken wire! Lump measured yesterday and hasn't grown anymore. We know that her time is limited but we are grateful for every new day.

Penny
I’m Homed
I was lucky enough to spend today in Penny's company . She had her first training session with Julie and was very well behaved. Outside she walked around the other dogs with no fuss and inside she relaxed a lot and mingled well with other greyhounds and lurchers. (The muzzle only came off briefly during the 'leave the treat' training Julie)! Thanks to all those at the training session who came over and introduced your dogs, it was lovely to have your support. Back home Penny met my cocker spaniel, Rowan and my greyhound, Gracie. There was no trouble at all, she got on very well with Rowan, even playing with him, and was again very well behaved in my home.We went for a walk in the park and she is strong on the lead but controllable. She was keen with smaller dogs, better with the bigger ones.Throughout the day she was affectionate and so sweet, coming up for cuddles and snuggling behind me on the sofa. She really does deserve a good home, if I had room for three I would take her myself, I did not want to take her back! I shall take her out again next Saturday but please do not be put off by her kennel behaviour, she is a little star and someone is going to be very lucky. Nite Penny, be good x

Sounds like she is very discerning in terms of who she chooses to be friends with! Wise old lady! She was at Bark Inn with Scottie so maybe she is just picky about her friends!

Penny

Met Penny at training this morning, dont know what all the fuss is about! She was well behaved ,enjoyed being made a fuss of her and even let IRIS sniff her bum without reacting.Dont tell Julie but her muzzle came off for a few minutes whilst Julie went out with the so called reactive dogs.Penny enjoyed her treats and is very clever getting the hang of food refusal training at the first go. She was lovely with the children at training and I am sure the right home is out there for her.She is so clever she just needs to learn to show this side of herself to potential adopters. Hopefull we will see her at training next preferably with a new mummy or daddy in tow. Go on Penny you can do it!!

Ellie-May
Over the Rainbow Bridge
She's a lovely girl who likes to have lots of if not all the fuss just like her boy Mick. The only difference is Mick knows that Magic is the "boss", Ellie being a girl would probably be the boss and want all the fuss. She does have a lovely personality and will make a fantastic pet. Maybe she'd be better off as an only dog where she can have all the fuss or with a dog that is laid back. I wish we could have her (she had a fantastic relationship with Mick and they would be great together but I don't think Magic would take too kindly. Her original owner/trainer was one of the decent guys so I doubt she was mistreated. She just needs a loving home where she can enjoy being a pet for the rest of her days.

Hi Ade and Bev, Ellie May has been lucky to have been owned by a lovely trainer in the past and very well looked after, however some greys just sometime prefer their own company! Saying that, she used to love being kennelled with Scottie!

Can't stop thinking about Mr Mystic after Jude tried to 'encourage' me (with a bit of successful emotional blackmail) to take him home! Sooo, not allowed though :0(
