Lucy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I know what a wonderful week Lucy will have and what a tough week Rob and Ruth will have. We had to make a similar decision last spring to let our adored lurcher Sooby slip away when her tumor became intrusive for her. We spent a memorable weekend with her in the May sunshine and set her free to rainbow bridge on the Sunday evening. It was peaceful for her and we knew it was the right time. Lucy's life is full of love and happiness right now and she couldn't ask for more than that. My thoughts are with you all. Love Cath and Toby xx

Max is getting on so well. Perfectly clean in the house. enjoys his food,walks lovely on his lead. He likes to lie on the chair rather than the settee. But he's never tried to go up the stairs.He's just such a lovable boy, he'll make someone a wonderful pet.

Lucy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I've just read about poor Lucy having another lump in her mouth. I'm so glad she had a lovely time on Sunday on her walk, what a good memory for her. It's a very hard decision Ruth has had to make, but I'm sure it's it's the right one, to let her go with dignity without any further suffering. All our thoughts are with you Lucy & Ruth. Love Val,Peg & Max.xxx

I think that is a very brave decision, I have always told myself that if anything like that ever happened to Harry, I would want to put an end to it before it got to him. Lucy has been so lucky to find a couple like you and having such a wonderful last few days and enjoying it so much rather than being in pain and being miserable. My thoughts will be with you all on Friday. Love Anna xxx

This is such a sad situation, but at the same time I am so pleased for Lucy that she found her way to Daybreaks. Her last days will be packed full of love and kindness and she won't know any suffering, and that's all anybody could ever wish for. I am sending lots of love and strength to dear little Lucy, and of course to Ruth and Rob who have been put through the mill lately. Em xxx

Lucy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Lucy has been having a great time - yesterday we took her to the Waseley Hills walk and today we have just come back from a fantastic walk around Brueton Park in the sunshine. She had red salmon with her tea last night and has a whole host of goodies lined up for her this week. Thanks to Kate for the sausages and thank you to everyone for your kind messages. Due to a lump that has appeared in her mouth in addition to other lumps appearing on her body, we have decided to let her slip away on Friday afternoon before she gets to the stage where she starts suffering.

I cant believe Lulu has not got a home yet, she is perfect in every way, even thought we only had here for a day i fell in love with her, i was not keen on greyhounds and thought they where funny looking but as soon as i saw her and saw how she was looking at me I could see that she is 100% pure kindness, it is like she was looking at me saying thank you for being nice to me, like it was totally alien to her to be pampered and loved, Lulu is such as beautiful girl, and i really wish things where different as she would be at home with me right now. Please give her a home, she deserves the very best, she is great on a lead, quiet, toilet trained, just perfect. Miss you lulu.

Besides being completely adorable and a wonderful addition to the family, Molly has brought an unexpected benefit - with all the walking I've been doing with her, I've just had to buy a size smaller jeans!

We will no doubt see some of you at Crufts as my mom is treating me for my birthday on the Sunday, my husband (Martin) will be dog sitting at ours!!!! It will be the first time that Darcy will meet all our rabbits. Lets hope she doesnt have breakfast, dinner and tea!!! xx
