This girl is adorable! I'm also in love with her ears, I think they're great!! She gave me a lovely kiss when I went to see them all yesterday and she loved fuss. Such a sweetie, dinky little thing though! TINY! xxx

Oh dear, I know how you feel. We've been having a few problems lately with my girl Sadie. She won't 'go' when let outside at night, even though we will go outside with her. What has made it worse is the fireworks - even though she's not bothered by them in the slightest, our other grey Kevin won't go out AT ALL when it is dark and consequently the evening walk is now an afternoon walk. This is ok for Kevin - he can cork it for ages, but Sadie-piddle-pants can't! So, what we've found works is taking her out on her own for a last minute 'wee-walk' at about 10pm. I can't see what the difference is between going out in the back garden and going out the front, but for some reason, she associates the lead with doing her business?! Sometimes this walk is only 5 mins long as she does her business then cries to go back home to bed! She has occasionally blatantly piddled infront of us (a bit like how you described) but that was when she needed the loo but thought she was going to miss out on something (i.e food) if she went out! I hope everything settles back down for you - I'm sure it will soon. Em x

Danny

Danny is staying with us until a new owner comes along. He is fabulous to walk, he is improving daily with his house training and is now getting on with our cats, he was fine in the park today with other dogs and ducks!! He is an absolute sweetheart and will make a lovely pet, he loves company and lots of fuss.

I took the decision to leave Mindy at the kennels last night with Babe before she got too used to us..... it broke my heart to leave her - she watched me through the window...... I am sure someone will fall in love with this little old greyhound lady very soon.

There are many greys having problems this time of year - this is because of the fireworks. If a bang has gone off whilst he was outside, he will associate going outside with something scary (even in the daylight). You might wish to try some calming tablets or go outside with him to reassure him.

Maybe its because he has his house coat on. Mine always go down the garden late at night to do their last 'jobs' without a coat on. They are back within minutes. If he isn't 'going' before you go to bed then he probably wont go through the night at this early stage in his retirement. Good luck Pam

Danny has been in a home for around a week but his disabled owner is unable to cope with him. He is being returned today. He is a very very handsome boy.

Stig (Matt)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Matt has really taken my heart and is such a beautiful boy. He's such a character and he make me smile when he was prancing around in the run. He is gorgeous and such a looker. I have my eye on him to be honest, but we're back to persuading Dad again! (; xx

I don't know why Katie is still at the kennels, she's a darling!!! She is so lovely and so dinky, but her personality makes up for it. She was trying to give my mum and kiss and she just loved all the attention. xx

Alfie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thank you, again, to both of you. It eases my guilt when I read things like that (: My mum and I popped down for an hour at the end of the day and It was so good to be back again. We just wandered around fussing them all and all of them took our hearts. Kiki was a darling, but I do believe she may have a home, which is great! They're all so tiny!!! My mum loves Katie, and I do agree she has bags of personality. I love Robbie too, he's gorgeous. Then we met Matt, and oh boy I couldn't leave him alone. He is amazing and he just made me feel so happy. My mum and I also fell in love with Micky, we felt so sorry for him and he just loved having some fuss. I think it's going to be between Matt and Micky, if we were to have any of them! I honestly can't wait for another greyhound, though Alfie will always be my baby boy. I felt so bad when I accidently called one of them Alfie 🙁 We should be back up again this weekend I hope! xxx

Dearest Amy please don't feel guilty about getting another grey, Alfie will always be with you in your memories of him but you have a lot of love to give and there are hounds out there who deserve to be loved and cared for by someone like you. i knew that i was going to have to say good bye to my beloved Monty before too long and i actually got Kenzie before i lost Monty to help me fill the terrible hole i knew he would leave behind...we all have been in your shoes and know how much it hurts so anything that stops the pain is a good thing. much love Ina xxxx
