Thanks for the Birthday wishes! I had a fab day... it started off a bit strange as the hoomans started signing to me. Then they made me wear a ‘it’s my birthday’ bandana! I may have sulked a bit after that!I had a special breakfast and got my present! A new ball! I think I might have deafened the hoomans though. I got my own doggie cake and loads of fuss. I ended the afternoon by getting drunk! Don’t worry it was for doggies. What a day! Lubs Russ Xx

Please, please please somebody give this boy a sofa. He is the most loveable greyhound. He jumps up and down when anyone comes in the gate at Daybreaks to say "Come and look at me" and the minute you give him a bit of fuss he just melts into the most loveable boy you could imagine. I am totally smitten and if my circumstances were different he would be mine.He is a dream in his kennel, loves nothing more than you going and give him a little bit of fuss. He is one big softie and the biggest leaner ever. Hope you find your sofa very soon.

13th birthday wishes wending their way across the Channel to my birthday buddy Sparky. We are both a bit greyer now then we were all those years ago when we fostered you prior to your exciting move over to Tracey & co in France - but its great to see you enjoying your life and being spoiled just as you deserve. xxx

I had the pleasure of taking Yardy for a walk this afternoon. As it was the Bank Holiday, there wasn't much going on at the building site, think he was disappointed not to see the workmen! :)) Xxx

We are so grateful to Erik and his family for inviting Jack into their home the last week. He has certainly experienced life in the big wide world! 🙂 We are hoping the viewing for him tomorrow will go well and everything he has learnt with Erik will stay with him for the future. Xxx

Our wonderful Jasper went home today!...I did take several homing photos of the whole family but had a few technical problems (operator eror!) so only have his last shot in the car at the moment. Xx It wasn't the same locking up tonight without Jasper and I shall miss his waggy bottom and cute little tail. :)) He has found himself a fantastic family who I know will love him so much. Wishing you all lots of happy times together. Xxx

Jack

Today is Jacks last full day with us, tomorrow he is going back to the kennel to meet a prospect mum and dad, fingers, legs, arms, and toes crossed for him. The start of the morning is the standard routine, we get up, take the dogs for their morning wee. I have my much-needed coffee and then we have our walk. After the walk, they have their normal 45-minute wait for food. Jack is still eating if his life depends on it, quite normal behaviour after live in a kennel. In the afternoon we went to Bosworth Water Park. It is a nice relaxing walk for Charlotte and Jack. As we always do walk halfway around the water park and then have a pick nick. Jack behaved like a gentleman, he did not pester much for food, which is great. He also had a good look at some really big fish. Whilst my daughter was playing in the play area we relaxed in the car. We shared a little bit of ice-cream which you seem to enjoy. When we returned Jack and Charlotte were both tired and were sleeping the rest of the afternoon. We had a little walk in the evening as they were tired already and seemed uncomfortable on your left paw. Your paw and pads seem fine, so not sure why. Their dinner time is becoming a routine for Jack now. He knows where his bowl is and rushes to it, so all great. Jack it has been great having you with us. I feel you have done brilliantly during the last week. I am so pleased to see you grow in confidence. You walk so much better compared to my first walk with you, in so many different ways. We will miss, having you around but, it is now time for you to find your forever home. You will make a great companion dog as you enjoy just being around people relaxing.
