Toby
I’m Homed
my lovely boy has had a mishap today:-(, he was out on the park and ran around happily with all his new doggy friends, chased a lurcher around and had a good time and it wasn't until i called him back to the lead that i noticed he was bleeding from a wound on his face. i went straight home and checked him over and noticed blood on his paw as well, he had cut himself somehow. we went straight to the vet's who is only down the road and he now sports a bandage round his paw and has to take some antibiotics. we think he may have cut his paw whilst breaking, possibly on some stone, glass or even wood in the grass and his poor facial cut was more than likely a branch hitting him in the face when running around. he has to stay on the lead for a few days and he's thoroughly enjoying being even more mollycoddled than usual. he's a brave little man, he never even murmured, his younger brother Rossi who is a real whimp would have screamed the park down!!! x

Toby
I’m Homed
Toby went out with his dad today and Paul duly let him off the lead as i told him that it's perfectly safe to do so. Well, all was going nicely, Toby was happily trotting after Paul and Rossi with Monty tagging behind when suddenly Paul saw Toby flash past him at 100miles an hour, he'd seen a fox!!!! ...and was very determined that he was going to get aquainted. I got a text message saying 'Toby gone Foxin'. thankfully Toby being the wonderful hound that he is turned round and came straight back to Paul, grinning from ear to ear mind. I LOVE this little man, he's the apple of my eye!!!, and he is really having fun now, bless him. xxx

Alice
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Ruth, hope you are well, just thought I would drop you a few pictures of Alice. She's a great girl, very content in her new home and starting to enjoy retirement. She has got lots of love and cuddles off everyone she meets. The cats have stayed at home which is good, but they are very carful were they go, they think she to big to mess with! She has been great at night and when we have left her for a while. The Kong is great she loves it. Say hello to all the hounds for me and a special hug for buster! Daz x

Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Mark, i have Toby who used to share his kennels with Jack and i am so very happy that he has a good home now to call his own as he is a gorgeous boy. i would have loved to have given him a home but he really took objections to our Monty dog. Rossi my other greyhound is amazing with Monty and a nightmare with any other dog so i could also benefit from more training with him. good luck with Jack the lad, glad he's settled in so well. Ina

George
Over the Rainbow Bridge
George has been with us for 1 week now and we continue to learn from one another. He has cured my menopause insomnia. I have been getting up with my husband early when he goes out to milk the cows at just after 6am. Therfore I am ready for bed at 10pm. George gets his first walk then across the fields with the younger Jack Russell. The Young Jack Russell spends alot of time down rabbit holes. George now sticks his head down them and covers up Megs exit. I would love to let him off the lead, but know it will be some time before I can even start to trust him. He has not idea what his name is and will not come to any thing other than a piece of sausage or his lead. He already knows that the lead means a walk around the fields and he loves it. This afternoon he walked in the stream at the bottom of the meadow and his face was a real picture enjoying the cool water. He remains a real whimp with the many people who pass through the farm. I am so glad that the fencing gives us the reasurance that he is safe . I also had to go to the potato shed as I had none in the house, this is another place he obviously enjoyed, the smells were a real treat. He shows no fear of the cows which is a bonus. We need to return to Daybreaks tommorrow as he is still not micro chipped. It will be interesting to see his response to the kennels.

Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Mark, it is great to hear Jack has settled so well. Being the longest stayer at the kennels we were so happy for you to home him. How about coming along to the training class - Julie will certainly help you with regards to calming him on his walks. Well done to you for giving him a chance as he is such a lovely boy. I miss my early morning cuddles with him!

Just to let you all know how Tommy is getting on. He came home with us on Sunday and it is as if he has been here for years. He has shown no signs of upset and has not been fased by anything that goes on in the house. He is a real sweety and everyone that has met him has fallen in love with him.Yeaterday he met our grandaughter who is 2 and a bit. She thinks he is lovely , he has been so gentle with her we can't believe that he has not been in a home environment before. He loves his walks and has met lots of new dogs which he has taken to straight away. will keep you updated and will send photos soon. Peta and Michael Tuesday 7th April
