A little dull and chilly this morning, but as the day went on it became lovely, warm and sunny. Sad to see Lauren and Stacey do their last Saturday before heading off to uni. Thanks to them for their help and support, they will be missed. X The dogs that could have walks had both morning and afternoon walks. Raven now Willow went home, good luck to her and her family. Gold was reserved and will be introduced to his potential greyhound sister tomorrow, fingers crossed that all goes well. We have two viewings booked for tomorrow, again I am hoping all goes well with those. Not used to being in on a Saturday, and hope Kate has a good holiday. Anyhoo back in tomorrow, weather forecast is good, so hopefully another greyt day. Xx

Little Miss Dippy Dora is such a sweetie! She thinks everything is fun, has a mad waggy tail, and loves her food. It makes me smile how she will come bursting through the door, then after a few hops & skips, put the brakes on, almost as if she is shocked at finding herself outside!! xx

There is always much noise & excitement when we open the kennel blocks in the morning, which is understandable as the dogs are happy to see someone and know its almost time to go out for a wee or two!! However this gorgeous fella gets down off his bed and stands quietly and calmly looking through the bars at you, then after you have said "Good Morning" and passed by, he gets back on his bed and waits patiently until its his turn to come out. Sadly he is not eating too well at the minute - so I brought him a tray of Crave chicken pate this morning which went down rather well (not really favouritism you understand, he is a big boy and we cant have him losing weight!!). xxx

Although today being a Friday was unusually a day off for me (Kate has gone on a much deserved holiday and Ruth is unfortunately very poorly) and Angie very kindly covered the kennels, I took Belle for her neutering op this morning. Quick call back to the kennels to complete as much homing paperwork for Jo as possible. Had several phone calls before I left. My plan was to go and do some window shopping this afternoon, but it didn't happen, I just wanted to go home and relax with the kids! Unfortunately, Sarah Scare Bear had recently been diagnosed with chronic lymphoid leukaemia, she seems well in herself so far, but every moment spent with her is a godsend. On a positive note she is not currently on any medication (vets advice) and has a review in 3 weeks. This was only picked up as she had what now turns out to be a lump on her back (infected cyst which has now disappeared) and had pre op blood tests for a dental, which showed her white blood cell count was high. A further test confirmed what type of leukaemia it was. Fingers crossed my Moo Cow will be with us for a long time yet. Xxxxx Thanks again to Angie for covering the kennels today, Chris and Bella for their help and Rosie for collecting Belle from the vets this afternoon. We have an amazing team of volunteers, I feel eternally grateful for everyone's help. Xxx 5 others liked this Like

I agree with Shanesmum...Gold is a super lad! John said if we didn't already have three gorgeous Greyhounds he would let me bring him home! :)) Gold loves a cuddle but he doesn't like Dentastix! :)))) Xxx

Oo I am smitten!! Although I am usually a "black Greyhound" person, this gorgeous, unusually marked boy is a stunner. So quiet and clean in his kennel, well mannered out and about, he had great fun playing with a ball in the sand run this morning, and enjoyed a walk this afternoon. He will make an amazing companion. Big cuddles for him tonight. Xx

It was beautiful Belle's turn for a trip to the Vet this morning for her neutering operation. Thanks to Rosie for collecting her this evening and taking her home over night for some TLC. Belle is now raring to go off to her new home over the next couple of days. I met our new arrivals Gold, Bessie & Dora - all of them are so lovely. Gold is a real stunner, such a quiet and gentle soul. Bessie is a very pretty and friendly girl, and Dora is such a funny little poppet. She is so excited to get out of her kennel, hops and skips a few steps - then stops!! It's almost as if she is shocked to find herself outside bless her. It was lovely to see Jo off to his new home this afternoon, he was very keen to get out of the gate and get started with his new life!! Wishing him and his new family happy times ahead. Our residents enjoyed sand run playtime this morning and walks this afternoon, and our "walking wounded" had a nice potter around the sand run. Can I take this opportunity to remind everyone that the appointment system at the kennels is still in operation so please call ahead if you are intending to visit for any reason. This is important to make sure we can monitor the amount of people on site to ensure we can operate social distancing and try to keep everyone as safe as we can - especially important now with local restrictions on the horizon. I will raise a glass to our beautiful boys & girls as usual, and wish them forever homes very soon. Please take care and stay safe everyone, and thank you for your continuing support. Angie xxx
