Jack
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi there - Jack is an eager boy but I always say 'never say never'. I have detrained my greyhounds - two of which were VERY keen when I had them and they ended up being off the lead and unmuzzled so it can be done but it takes a lot of time and patience with a few of them. If you fancy a challenge - he would be the one!

Hiya Ruth Jack is the half brother to one of our girlies...do you think he could be detrained to live with small furries or is his prey drive too strong??

Wolfy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hello Chloe. Wolfy started limping. After a trip to the vets it was felt he had something in his pad possibly picked up during one of his many walks from the kennels. His pad was cut open 3 ways during the operation and hence we knew this would take a while to heal. Trying to keep his dressing dry was a nightmare so this is why he was fostered. He is doing really well in his foster home, his pad is now healed - his only problem is he not good with other breeds of dogs so his foster family are helping him by training him - I am sure he will find a home very soon!

How did Wolfy do this to his paw too? Yes Wolfy is a big boy but when spent some time with he knows to trust you. After his meal he used to rub his head up your leg to clean his face and when you are stroking him he would lean his head on you! He came form the same kennels as Gem and they used to be kennelled together. Wolfy really deserves a good home as he has been with you for a quite a long time know and he needs to be given a chance!I know this because i used to handle him when he used to be at our kennels aswell.

Well we've had George for 2 weeks now and I honestly can't remember what life was like without him. He came home with us and just fitted in to our routine, making no fuss at all about being fed and pampered like a king. He and Gypsy are the best of pals, haven't had any tiffs so far instead their constantly cuddled up on their sofa together, usually on their back with legs in the air. George is hilarious, such a character, he likes to sleep upside down with his head hanging over the sofa, tongue hanging out and baring all his teeth, he just looks like he's got the biggest smile on his face. But even though they get on so well together, their both still eager for cuddles with us too, which is great. The scar on his face is hardly recognisable now as the furis growing over it and he's looking more hansome by the day. When I fathom out how to put a picture on this page, I will, then anyone can see why I call him my Gorgeous George.

How did Gem do this to her foot? I hope she gets a well deserved home, she is a lovely playful girl, she used to live at the kennels i worked at you see. 😀

about Jo's comment...yes, you are right, i am afraid it was a foregone conclusion...sometimes these things just need to be done. Toby is settling in extremely well, putting on weight and becoming much more relaxed in everyday situations and Paul has actually really taken to him so all is well!!!

Gem
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I cut all my foot open so I am stopping at Ruth's house until I am better. I am now house trained and I know what 'No' means as I don't try to snatch food anymore and can wait patiently until it is my turn for a treat. I think I would like to live with another dog as I don't like being left on my own. I am happy to sleep through the night.... and most of the day as well!!!!

Mandy

How excited every one was when mandy arrived home yesterday especially our 12yr old boy Ronan his tail hasn't stopped wagging yet. Boy has she made herself at home after all the introductions and a nosy at just about everything a walk and tea was on the agenda followed by trying out all the dog beds and rug. what a cute cookie the fridge has been sussed straight away along with where the dog treats are kept. So after a successful nights sleep accident and fret free, Mandy is getting used to her new life here in the country and making herself quite at home.
