Well done Blue - if you've gotta wee, you've gotta wee in style! If you need me to do a follow up visit for Blue in his new home, just let me know... ;0D

Got to say, the pictures of Blue in the crate bought a lump to my throat too. Laughed out load though when I read the bit about the wee up the palm-tree! Well done Blue, you've certainly made your mark in Spain!!! Mand x

hello Percys mom, your not on your own one of my boys was like yours, realisticly it can take 3 months before the penny drops but it will. Look at it from his point of view he is just living in a posher kennel he doesn't know its a home,human term not grey, therefore he can and will wee if he needs to same as he always has whether it be through nerves, scent marking or he just has to go. my boy is very nervy so it was a mixture of reasons, you have to spend as much time with him as you can and catch him in the act, i used a water bottle with the push down top and squirted him in the face area with a firm NO! i Think i only had to do it twice. This doesn't hurt it merely shocks and you feel worse for it than he does. The other thing i did was taught him the term wee wee to associate with the back door, as soon as he went to the back door after i said cum wee wee i treated, he was soon going by himself, getin a treat then going outside to toilet. don't get stressed over it it will work out good luck x

Sindy

She does look a beauty, but then the blues always do, and she has so much interest maybe because of this. Please if you arn't lucky enough to get her take a look at some of the black beauties at Daybreaks. I just wanted a grey who had been waiting a long time for their forever home ,colour was not a deciding factor, I ended up with a black dog and bitch and they are sooooooo lovely I now have another fawn one because she was in need of a forever home as well. The right Grey for YOU is the important thing, and very often if you visit the kennels the dogs will let you know they have PICKED YOU!

Quick update on socks. He's so gorgeous. My husband has made him his own special bed and we have ordered him his own personalised coat so he can be taken off the reserved list!!! Managed to get him to eat properly yesterday and he's not crying after me so much. Have discovered today that he is very partial to the sofa and he can scale the stairs like a mountain goat! He is lying on his back snoring at the moment so please tell his other mom that he is fine and will be loved.

Whilst looking for greyhound coats (yeah, I know I know, just don't hubby ok?) I noticed these which might be useful for short term probs like this; https://www.equafleece.co.uk/store/dog_shorts.html

Max

An update on Max. He's settled in well, it took him a while to get used to Ray because of his home & away working life.He does need a little time to get to know someone, but then he's absolutely great.He eats well & his toilet habits are really good. Only 1 accident, which was my fault as I slept through the alarm. He comes to you now for cuddles & lots of fuss, his tail very rarely stops wagging. Him & Peg still have their daily play together, while they get on together I also feel that Max would be happy as the only dog in a home.I think having all the love & attention would make him more confident & a wonderful first grey for some lucky family.

Milo

He may be ok - you could visit with your dogs to see how they get on. Milo is a very quiet lad and laid back...... Just give me a call if you would like to visit.

The crying can last for many days..... give Julie a call on 0774 775 4759 to see if she can help with regard to the weeing..... You could try a DAP diffuser (plug in device from your vets) or some herbal calming pills (we have some at the kennels) to help with settling him at night.

Hi Ruth, I am thinking about popping over to see Sindy today, that's if she hasn't already been reserved. She is a beautiful looking grey. I thought about her all night x

I would love a greyhound. I have 2 small dogs; a yorkie cross and a border terrier. I also have lots of hens. How do you think Milo would cope with that? would be really keen to know.
