Jo was on Vet run duty today as the lovely Mr Ed went off to have the second part of his dental. He was a bit wobbly on his return to the kennels, but managed to eat his nice soft supper before retiring to bed, bless him. Paddy is still sore today, and is walking very gingerly!! but at least he hasn't lost his appetite so is taking his pain medication and will hopefully be more comfy in a couple of days. Now he is post-op he is back to no walks again - poor boy, just when he was starting to get out and about again too!! I met the handsome Mr Dasher today - my goodness what a big, stunning boy he is! He is so tall I don't have to bend down to give him a fuss!! As I did my goodnight round this evening he was upside down on his bed with his legs in the air!! We were joined today by 6 volunteers from Network Rail. They all happily joined in and especially enjoyed walking the boys & girls. They were all surprised at how gorgeous Greyhounds were, and one or two fell in love with some of our residents! It was busy, busy today with customers for the sand run, pampers and dropping of donations. This morning saw the lovely Daisy reserved - yay! She wasn't too sure about going out for a walk, but after being coaxed with a tasty treat, she walked off with the group and her new Mum. This afternoon saw the lovely little Holly off to her new home, wishing her and her new family lots of happy times ahead. With all the extra bodies today, the doggies had morning & afternoon walks, a lovely groom and lots of extra fuss & cuddles. Many thanks for everyone's help. Fortunately the promised rain stayed away until going home time. Well, another weekend is upon us - how the time is flying by! We have viewings booked for tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed. My glass of red wine will be raised later to all our residents - let's hope your forever homes are just around the corner. The forecast for the weekend is not the best, so stay safe everyone. Cheers - Angie x

Oh my goodness Daisy. You've only gone and got yourself a red sign. Such amazing news on Valentine's day. I'll see you on Sunday if you're still there. I will miss you when you're in your forever home BUT will be overjoyed for you. So many races. You deserve your retirement. x

Paddy went off to the vets this morning to be neutered. He was quite stressed to be there and his operation took a lot longer than expected. 🙁 He was very sore when I picked him up tonight. 🙁 Xxx We had two volunteers for the day from Network Rail 🙂 They were a great help and said how much they had enjoyed meeting our boys and girls. I think they were quite surprised at how calm and laid back the dogs are. Xxx Many thanks to Bob for letting us use his van for a warehouse run and to Alan, Shirley and Declan for collecting our supplies. 🙂 xxx Lucy had customers for papmpers...the very beautiful Indi and her friend Willow. They both looked and smelled beautiful when she had finished. :)) Xxx

Aww Daisy dog, lovely girl couldn't wait to get out of her kennel, but then didn't particularly want to walk. She was happy to go in the sand run for a good sniff. I think she'll need someone patient who can gain her trust and she'll be a lovely companion. Xxxx

Go onto their kennel and Beano and Queenie do 'tag' licking. They are both incredibly beautiful, happy and friendly girls. They both walk very well and are a joy to be around. Big kisses for them both xxx

Having spent time, in his kennel, with this totally handsome - nay - stunning young man this afternoon I learned that not only does he look fabulous but he has a lovely nature, even when I cleaned his teeth he behaved perfectly. Fabulous boy, huge cuddles and kisses for him xxxx

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.
