It was a quiet day at the kennels today. By the time I arrived Angie and Michael had already fed Scooby and George and cleaned their kennels. Thanks so much! :)) Dave came in with Maisie, he spent most of the day cleaning. The office has never looked so clean! Thanks Dave. :)) We had visitors to purchase food and use the sand run. 🙂 Jan and I took George and Scooby out for a walk this afternoon. They had lots of "tests" along the way! First we saw a squirrel, then a collie dog. Next we saw two bicycles and finally a black cat sat right in the middle of the lane! They were both interested, especially in the cat but they were very good and didn't react very much at all. :)) It was a beautiful Autumn afternoon and it was lovely to see them both enjoying all the sights and smells. Xxx Thinking of all the animals who have had to endure another night of fireworks! Fletcher and Lyra have spent the evening in the wardrobe again! It does look very cosy in there with a big duvet and blanket. I'm hoping there will be less going off tomorrow. Xxx

We carried on with the major clean & tidy of the empty kennels first thing. The lovely sunshine gave us the opportunity to empty everything outside and get up on steps to reach those pesky cobwebs and really give everywhere a thorough spring clean - something you just can't do with doggies in residence. We did have 2 new arrivals late morning - the boys had booked their rooms at Daybreaks before we heard about lockdown. They are both beautiful. Scooby is a very bouncy, friendly soul who will shower you with kisses, and who loved being out on his afternoon walk - striding out with ears up, everything of interest, keen to be on the move but not too strong. George in contrast is much quieter, a little more wary and very handsome. Here's hoping that they will soon find themselves in a lovely foster home. As lockdown number 2 gets under way we are still offering the use of the sand run and food sales - but please remember it is essential to phone and book an appointment before visiting the kennels. Let's all do our bit to stay safe and well and get this horrid virus under control. It is a definite red wine kind of evening - raising my glass to all our boys & girls currently out in foster homes, hope they are behaving themselves and enjoying a little taste of home. Cheers one and all! Angie xx

We had one Greyhound at the kennels today...Skip 🙂 He enjoyed wandering around and was first and last in the treat queue! 🙂 A day of cleaning and tidying. Thanks so much to Yvonne for cleaning all the kennels in the top block and to Shirley for keeping the bedding store under control and to Richard and Declan for going on a trip to the tip! 🙂 A rough night for lots of our pets tonight...Bonfire season is not a happy time for my Lyra and Fletcher. Skip doesn't care! I received a call from John this afternoon to say Fletch was in the bath! 🙁 When I got home he was in the wardrobe in the spare room along with a terrified Lyra. They are both still in there listening to "Sounds for Pets" on Clsssic FM. 🙂 Such a shame for all animals who find this time of the year very stressful. Xxx At present we are keeping the sand run open as it is very easy to "avoid" contact with anyone else! Please call the kennels on 0121 782 7702 and we can book your time in the diary. If we are not going to be there we would be very grateful if you can pay for the run in advance either over the telephone or we can send a link to your mobile. We will also be able to supply food, carry out nail clipping and Ruth will hopefully be able to help with corns. 🙂 We feel these to be essential to our dogs health and wellbeing. It will be strictly by appointment only so we can make sure everyone can stay safe. Xx We do have two new arrivals tomorrow and another one on Saturday. They were scheduled to come in this week before the lockdown was announced. Looking forward to meeting them. Xxx

It might be a bit late but we are thinking of everyone with scared hounds tonight. We know how bad it is as we experienced it when we had Barney he was shaking the whole time and was absolutely terrified. We feel very fortunate that Russ is the total opposite and not fazed at all. Xx

Ronnie has settled in so well. Very inquisitive dog and fun loving. He is obsessed with toys, he loves rolling around with teddies and squeaking balls. He’s got on so well with out female grey, even came over and leaned against her when she was shaking cause of the fireworks. He’s a big boy with lots of love to give ??

It was soooooo cold today and strange with no dogs in kennels apart from Penny who was waiting to go to her foster home this afternoon. Although quiet with no other dogs Ruth rallied the troops (namely Denise, Dave, Richard and Ian) to collect items for Tiggys fundraiser. There were visitors to use the sand run, collect food and for nail cutting. Momma, Tig and Penny had a morning walk courtesy of our Wednesday walkers. Although we now have no dogs on site we still have the resident catscand chickens. I think the cats were expecting a peaceful day, not so, as my Arry decided he wanted to bark at them for most of the morning. Arry loves cats, unfortunately not in a good way!! Ruth's chickens seem to like their new surroundings, they too attracted the attention of Arry and Maisie Moo who after some initial interested were quite good around them. Well, with the second lockdown upon us please stay safe and well. X

Thank you Lady Victoria - we have a lovely home with space ready for a hound who can live with our cat so any news will be very welcome. In the meantime I will keep popping into the site and giving cuddles to the lovely hounds you have here!
