Black Flash
I’m Homed
Hi Everyone, we adopted Flash last Saturday and I just thought I'd leave a quick post to let everone know how he's getting on. I didn't realise how many noises our house made untill Flash arrived. When the radiator wurred behind the Fridge he though there was something behind it and you should of seen the look on his face when I showed him the microwave door opening lol. I'm really chuffed that he is not fixated by my chickens outside, which also comes in handy with the ducks along the canal. Unfortuately my Pet rats are definately on the menu but after a quick call to Liz my home checker and Julie the trainer I've instigated a trial separation and invested in a Kong which when stuffed with cheese and peanut butter keeps Flash going for at least 20 mins. At Julies advice I've started walking Flash on longer walks in the morning. Flash really loves to walk when its cool and then he passes out asleep, much more content for the whole morning. We've always had the policy no dogs on furniture but after Flash looked so deeply depressed at not being able to get on our sofa we've bought him his own off Ebay which turned out cheaper than the larget beds at Pests at Home! the most bizarre thing was that the person who I bought the sofa off of on Ebay was also getting a retired greyhound from Daybreaks and not only that, we met on Saturday as she was choosing Sandy! What a coincidence, whats even better is the sofa is for Flash and the proceeds are going towards Sandy, how Fab is that 🙂 Flash was so pleased with his new Sofa we installed last night that after his walk this morning he hasn't moved from it. When I take a break from my work I walk pass him and say can I get you anything Lord Flash, to which he raises his head and then just lets it fall back down again. Before he was following me all round the house not he's definately got his forever Sofa. Hopefully we'll see some of you at training classes on Saturdays. Buy for now from Fran, Ben and a very comfy Flash xxx

Hi Sophie-louise, cats aren't necessarily a problem! Ours is 13 and is quite happy with our two greyhounds around, after a day or two settling in. 🙂

Just a brief message to let you know how well Flash is settling in. We took him home yesterday and he's been brilliant. He's met numerous dogs and people and has been totally relaxed with them. He's even seen a few rabbits (just looked interested but no pulling) and when he found a cat in the garden he just gave a warning bark and stayed away whilst it hid under our sun lounger! He acts like he's been house trained all his life and we had a good nights sleep with him in the kitchen. We even left him alone for half an hour to see how he'd get on and he was fine. So as you can we are delighted with him and everyone remarks how wonderful his temperament is. Thanks on our behalf to everyone at Daybreaks for all your help and a big thank you from Flash who I'm sure appreciated all you did for him.

Ohhhhh nooooo! I was 'chosen' by Suzie when I popped to the kennels the other day, and I thought I was safe from her charms because she was reserved! She's so adorable and will will brighten up the right family's home. I expect she would benefit from having a young active family who can give her all the love and attention she deserves. Best of luck little one, I will tell everyone at Solihull Carnival about you and do my best to get you and your friends a fab home! Em xxx

Suzie was too active for the lady who was going to have her. She took Ruthie instead after our advice. It was not about her tail, in fact it isn't that short!
