We were missing half of our Wednesday walkers today, we did imiss them, we had our regular extra helpers this afternoon, so all the dogs that could go on walks had morning and afternoon walks. Thanks all. I think Paddy is enjoying going on a 'proper' walk in the afternoon, he seems so much better. Thanks so very much to Rosie and Paul for looking after pretty little Holly before and after her spey (sorry that she was sick in the car on the way back to the kennels, ooops)! She was very happy this afternoon and ate all of her dinner. All being well she is going home on Friday and will have a very handsome brother Griffy. Thanks to everyone for the donations of bedding, food and knitted squares!! Early Shirley will be sewing the squares together to make some greyt blankets for the inmates....Thanks Shirl. X Denises Charlie shared the office with Ruths Tig today. Denise is looking after Tig as Ruth finally got her very much needed surgery today. We are all wishing her a speedy recovery...fingers and everything else crossed. Xx We also had some viewings, it can sometimes be a difficult decision to decide on the right dog, especially when it's a tough choice between two or more hounds. I got to meet the extremely handsome and rather large Dashed today...Wow..what else can I say, apart from stunning. At least the weather was bright and sunny even if it was very cold, the lull before another storm. Take care all. Xx

We have had little Russ Bucket about a month now and you would of thought he had been here years. He has taken retirement very seriously with him taking the sofa and going to bed at night when he is ready. We all get a lovely greeting and a bark when we come home and he is still into playing when you grab his lead by playing hide and seek. Fabulous boy that we all adore.

Paddy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Paddy's leg is doing great. He is going on one walk a day and being taken for a gentle stroll in the sand run, doing a couple of circuits. I'm sure he will soon be able to join everyone for the normal two walks. He is a very special boy looking for a special home. Xxx

We had lots of helpers today. :)) As well as our normal Tuesday lads and lasses we also had the company of four lovely ladies from HSBC getting involved on a Charity Volunteer Day....despite choosing a very chilly day to visit us they helped out with everything and all ended up with a favourite Greyhound by the end of the day! :)) Shirley and I took Drew for a follow up appointment with the vet after his dental last week. All looks good. :)) xx He spent most of journey to and from the vets standing looking out of the back window of the car, he loves to see what's is going on in the big wide world! :)) The home of Pepper, our Chicken received a top to bottom Spring clean by Gloria and Declan. It looks great and I'm sure Pepper appreciates it. :))) Thanks so much to you both. Xxx Richard found himself a bit of tree surgery to perform...sadly one of the neighbours trees has become very "wobbly" after the recent strong winds. He cut down as much as he could to make it safe. 🙂 xx A big hug and lots of love to Ruth tonight. She has her operation tomorrow, fingers crossed this will sort out her problems and we can look forward to her being back at the kennels where she belongs as soon as possible! Xxxxxx Xxx

Hi everyone. Ok I really don't want to be appear to be nagging. I have in the past couple of days taken calls regarding the following.... Could you all please ensure that your hounds have a house collar with an ID tag on. THIS IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT. In the past couple of days we have had two dogs who had escaped and had no ID tags on them. This causesus a great deal of stress for us trying to reunite a dog with it's owner. It means that our attention is taken away from the dogs in our care. If you do move home please update your microchip details, I know it is easy to forget but please do it. I personally know if one of my dogs managed to escape I would be distraught and would hope that we would be reunited by either the ID tag or if that had come off their microchip details. It is easy to forget. Sorry, rant over, but if you love your dog you will do it. Xxx
