Wow, think Pam's advice is useful for us all, sounds like we should all have some Piriton at the ready? That's presumably 2mls per dog, not for a certain amount of body weight?

Just registered as I would love to have a greyhound now I have semi retired.Working on my husband as he has never owned a dog, but I have.My only concern is the busy road we live on, parks nearby though and we have a back garden and no little ones to leave front door open!Love the look of Chrissie and she has my first Name.

We had a lovely day today......2 lovely long walks, still a bit 'all over the shop' in the park, but fantastic on the paths. I could see her visibly slowing down when I said 'heel'. I was really pleased with her. And a number of times she was walking so nicely, I thought she'd slipped the lead!! One scary moment when she pelted down the garden path and chased a neighbour's cat, which luckily got away quickly. Oh and she responds really well to a firm 'no!' if she's sniffing around food that she shouldn't be (eg my toast, cat's food, a biscuit!) xx

If he is that interested in bees keep some piriton syrup handy. If he eats/swallows a bee give him 2mls and get him straight to the vet. This could save his life Pam xx Hope to see you all soon

Poor Myles, that's a lot of teeth to lose when you're only 4, I didn't realise dogs even have that many teeth!! Hope you get some falsies fitted soon to restore your lovely smile (though I think you'll look just as cute without any teeth). Has the tooth fairy come yet?! Keep smiling little man you are very handsome!

We're so pleased to hear it's going well for you Lola, you waited quite a long time for your home, so you deserve it! Willow and I are still working on our "walking-to-heel-on-the-lead" routine, some days are definitely better than others!! Lola will really start to enjoy visiting Grandma and Grandpa's house where she will no doubt be spoilt rotten! Willow enjoys an afternoon cup of tea at my Mum's (LOTS of milk, but no sugar, thank you!), not to mention all sorts of other goodies!

Hopefully next week after I get back from Cornwall the whole family are coming down to meet the dogs and if you're still there Mojo i'll make sure to come say hello and give you lots of fuss. If I could I would have reserved you straight away, but I'm sure someone will snap you up in no time, you're such a sweetie! x

Hi everyone - Daire has settled in really well and his personality is beginnning to shine through - we've had a brilliant first week with him with absolutely no problems at all. It did take him 24 hours to accept his new bed but he has so many places he likes to sprawl out it wasn't a problem. He loves being in the garden (although we're trying to teach him that he shouldn't try to catch bees!) and his walks and has adapted to home life so well that it feels like he's been with us for years! Whilst walking him the other day a lovely man pulled up in his car to chat for a few minutes (he has a retired greyhound from Daybreaks too). On our way back we saw the same car, and the gentleman pulled up again, he'd been home to get Copper (Throwing Copper) to meet Daire! He has also made friends with two children yesterday (aged 4 & 6) and was really good with them. All in all, Daire is absolutely perfect! Caz & Paul x

Oh my goodness! WHAT a steep learning curve! Apparently we are both as bad as each other walking on the lead, but we are practising hard and our technique is improving! Tomorrow we are getting some help with our canine-feline relations, as things are seemigly getting worse. However, Lola is a joy to be with! We went to the picnic at Waseley and got a lot of help & support there and within the afternoon she became more tolerant of other dogs. At home, it is mutual adoration and she is affectionate and playful. We visited my parents today and she had a great time - made herself very at home! Will feedback after tomorrow's events!

Hi Loulou, I work from home and so I can say with some authority that my 2 greys don't move all day - unless they think they might be getting something to eat! Go for it - you can't deny a grey the pleasure of living next door to Sutton Park! xxx
