Kite
Over the Rainbow Bridge
My girls (of both the canine and human variety!) fell in love with Kite at the show yesterday. I think the cat might be less impressed but I'm sorely tempted...

We love this little girl, Rolo didn't seem to mind one bit when she put her head on his back for a rest and leaned on him. It was so cute!! xx

Magic
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We had the pleasure of taking this lovely girl for the day yesterday. She is a little bundle of fun and we really hope someone can give her the chance and give her a loving home. She is very fussy and during a cuddle she likes to lean against you. She did very well yesterday with all other types of dogs around yesterday and just needs a bit of time to get used to things. She loved Rolo and was very well behaved with him. All in all a very good day for her. Big loves and cuddles. Rich, Manda & Rolo xxx

Maisie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I think i speak for everyone who had the pleasure of meeting Maisie yesterday when i say what a beautiful gentle soul she is, and never was there a more deserving case for all the love and attention that was being heaped on her. It was lovely to read about her impatient woof this morning, her fire has definately been re-ignited. Massive respect to you and your charming family for taking Maisie on, we can all see huge improvements in her already. Please please keep us updated on her progress, the whole DAYBREAKS extended family is rooting for her and you. Love and best wishes Rich,Amanda and Roley Poley.xxx

This is the best ending to an awful week. How fantastic to see how well you have settled into your new home. I am really sorry to have missed you yesterday. I looked out for you but maybe you were surrounded by your huge fan club 🙂 but so glad that you won the trophy for vintage greyhound 2010 you really deserve it. I can't tell you how happy I am that you are now having the best life and catching on lost time. I hope I get to meet you one day and lovely Deb who gave you your life back. Biggest cuddles sweetheart xxxxxx

Clara
I’m Homed
I had Clara all day at the Dog show yesterday and she is a lovely dog. She did have a lot of attention so i hope this can materialize into a forever home for her. She walked really well with our two and would make a great companion for someone. She has a really glossy coat and is house trained already. I have just been brought my slipper from somewhere in the house by one of my greys so i am off to rescue it!

Mick

Mick has asked me to write something for him (he said he'd do it himself but he's watching the children play chess, watching out for any cheating!) "I'm being a good boy at Tash's house, there is so much to see and smell, I'm learning all the time. I love the children, they make my tail really wag and I love it when Robert rubs my ears, I could lean against him for hours! I'm suprised to say that I actually like the spaniel, took me a while to get used to him, really wish he would stop kissing me, but he's ok, Tash said I need to be tolerant of him because he's deaf and can't hear me telling him to stop! I like my food, being brushed, playing with toys, having cuddles, children, sleeping and going for walks is the most exciting thing in the world, SO much to take in and understand, Tash said I'll get used to it and get less skippy, but at the moment it's all just amazing! I've learnt what "no" means and how not to push to get outside, which is where I go to the toilet, Tash is very proud that I've had no accidents in the house, she says I'm very clever and trainable, which sounds nice. I'm determined to get used to other dogs that don't look like me, I tried really hard at the show yesterday and Tash was very pleased with me, she said that I'm fab!" x

Maisie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi everyone. I am truly overwhelmed by the love & kindness shown by everyone at the show today, it was just wonderful! Donations have been flooding in - it was absolutely heart warming. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for helping us to give this beautiful girl the life & love she has never before had the good fortune to experience. Oh how we are making up for lost time!! So many people have thanked me today for giving Maisie a new home, but actually I am the lucky one - I feel honoured & privileged to have been given the opportunity to shower her with love & kindness she deserves for the rest of her days . . . She is very tired after her celebrity appearance today, all that fuss and attention is absolutely exhausting and how wonderful did she looks in all her new bling!! My beautiful girl won 4th prize in the over 11's and was awarded a trophy for Vintage Greyhound 2010. Go Maisie!! Best wishes and huge thanks to everyone - watch this space X deb

We met you today at the show and thought what a gorgeous boy you were, very cute and friendly. Ask Auntie Ruth to put a better photo of you online, because this one doesn't show how handsome you really are xxx

Chillie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Paul took Chillie to the show today and she was such a good girl all day. She wandered around happily with our two and was fine with all the other breeds she met even the small furry ones. Probably the highlight of the show for Chillie were the various goodies from the Galloping Greyhound Gourmet which she woofed down! This girl definitely likes her treats.... Someone is going to get a lovely addition to their family when they re-home Chillie. Love from Linda, Paul, Lola & Lena xx

Having spent the day with Jip at the Solihull dog show we couldn't recommend this dog any more he is such a loving boy who loves lots of fuss and was no trouble with our Penny. Jip is going to make someone a lovely pet. Hope someone takes you home soon as may have to bring you back with us on our next visit to the kennels.

Tom
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We had the pleasure of spending a day with Tom today at the show, and he is a real treasure, the photo does not show how handsome this little lad is, he is gorgeous. For a male he is such a little dot, he did so well meeting other breeds of dogs, he met Collie crosses, a German Shepherd cross, huskys, and many more, he did find the small fluffy dogs very interesting..,as was the teddy bear from Perrys Kids stand.. bless him.. He was brilliant in the car, quite happy to snuggle with our male grey no squabbles at all...It was such a strange environment for him to be in today, noise, people, smells, food, dogs, little people .. etc and he coped amazingly well, he enjoyed his picnic in the car with us, and munched his way through the gourmet rice dish that the lovely lady from Galloping Greyhound Gourmet gave him ! He was very good with my little boy and did not seem fazed at all with the constant hugging - he does like to give his kisses away and is really affectionate - all in all he is a wonderful boy and I really hope some one will fall in love with this little smasher soon, our little boy was so disappointed when he had to go back to the kennels, he thought Tom was his, so had a few tears on the way home... Best of luck 'Tom Tom' some one is going to have a fabulous companion if they choose you, lots of love the Taylor family xx

What a lovely treat to see this gorgeous fella again. Even though it's kinda defeating the object of what Jenny was doing in fostering him, I'm inclined to think Vinnie's already found the best home for himself! Em xxx

Way to go Maisie! Even with no teeth you manages to wolf down the liver cake. And the flapjack. And the muffins. Well you get the picture, she's not exactly wasting away now! Bless her little heart, and bless you Debbie and family for giving this gorgeous sweetheart a fab home! Maisie's really made my day and even though I'm well and truly knackered, I am humbly reminded of why we all do what we do to help our beautiful greys. The way everyone has pulled together to help Maisie has been truly heartwarming - thank you! Em xxx
