Sonny (Frank)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi all I love reading how other Greys are getting on, so thought id give a litle update, Sonny has just come back from his first holiday , he really enjoyed it and found it all very reaxing!! well apart from the sea which he wasnt impressed with ! He was so well behaved (unlike the weather) and enjoyed his cooked breakfasts...and testing all the beds! One thing he did not like was the steps to the caravan he couldnt get up or down, (same at home) which must have looked pretty funny to others at 6am on a morning with me in my pj's and hoodie (too early to be dressed I was on holiday !) going out for his tinkle up a lampost then having to hoist him up the stairs (4 ) Any help or advice would be much appreciated on how to help him feel confident about going up and down the stairs XX

Keep the updates coming. We all love to hear about them. Be careful about the muzzle. I think it best you keep it on for a few more days just in case his thought pattern goes back to his racing days!!! Pam xx

I was trying to resist popping updates on here so much, but it's so hard not to! We're so proud of Alfie as today we went to Hatton Country Park. He had a great time and everyone wanted to stop and pet him, got chatting to lots of people and found some had greyhounds too. We subtely spread the word of Daybreaks! Haha! Everyone said how beautiful he was and he was so well behaved, he's not bothered about other dogs and in the end we decided he didn't need his muzzle on for the rest of the day, he's that good! (; We had no accidents last night, though he did whine a teeny bit but he soon went back to sleep. He's currently snoozing under the stairs after his long day out, we popped into pets@home on the way home and got him a few things. Got him a nice bone to chew on after his dinner! Thank you everyone, we'll be helping out as much as we can now! Maybe we will join you on a roadshow one day (: xxx

Jenson (Inky)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
We brought Inky home yesterday and he has settled in so well. He loves our other two dogs, especially the male one. They have had a great bonding session. This morning saw all 3 dogs having a great time in Brueton Park so they are now all relaxing looking really chilled out in their baskets. Thank you so much for helping us find a great addition to our family Bethan, Martin, Leo, Piper and Inky (now known as Jenson) xx

Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thank you Ina and Pam (: It's great to have him home, we've had a great time these past five hours and he's really settled in. He's hilarious and such a character. He's currently asleep next to me after eating his yummy tea, which he waffled down in a few seconds! He helped us clean the floor afterwards too! Haha. We've been on two walks, to tire him out a bit. He's been good with the rabbits so far, not going past an invisible boundry we made, though has yet to meet them. He's great on his walks, though doesn't understand what pavement is and just loves walking all over peoples drives!! He's yet to have an accident in the house and whined to let us know he wanted to go outside to the loo. He'd seen a squirrel on our longer walk and wanted to chase it as it ran, though I felt bad as he whined at it. I still don't believe he's ours to keep, but he's just so gorgeous and funny!! We're still planning on coming up at the weekends and walking the others when we can and we'll be joining you on walks etc. We'll be updating a lot! (; xxx

Spirit is the sweetest boy ever and is perhaps perfect! He's lovely and is so very sad to be at the kennels. He's a pretty boy too and quite lively, he just loves attention. He shouldn't be at daybreaks long, he's adorable! x
