It's very strange having so few dogs in the kennels. So again today they had extra long walks. Thanks as always to our Wednesday walkers and to our placement students and volunteers who came in. The students managed to put covers on duvets ready for making beds for when we have some new arrivals. I also had a call from Kennys mom. He too is doing fantastically well, and he too is perfect! It seemed to get colder as the day went on, when we left the dogs were curled up with their fleeced on and the heating too.

I spoke to Harley's owner this morning. Harley has settled beautifully and she is 'just perfect'. Her and her new greyhound brother Frankie are getting wonderfully, he seems so much happier having a new sister.

The rain came back today! The dogs managed to get their walks without getting too wet. We had two lovely new volunteers this morning, they were very amused to discover Greyhounds really don't like the rain and prefer to walk around the puddles and not through them! :)) We still have some photos taken at our Christmas party of Greyhounds and Santa, please pop in and collect them when you get chance. They are lovely. Xx Thank you so much to everyone who donated food and treats for the dogs at Christmas, so very kind of you. The dogs really appreciate them all! :)) Thank you also for the biscuits and chocolates for the humans too...we are still busy eating them! :)) At this dreary time of the year, if you are looking for something to cheer you and your Dog up why not bring them to the sand run? Lyra came to the kennels with me today and went in the run. She had a fantastic time playing with her ball, so much so that she didn't want to leave! She ran to the very top of the run and sat down in the far corner pretending not to see or hear me! When I eventually got her back Shirley took Murphy in and he loved choosing several toys to throw around....he didn't tidy up and put them back though! :))) Xx Thanks so much to everyone who helped out today. Xxx

Carrie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
To be honest , I just enjoy the company mad as they both are from time to time and sometimes I just want to be left alone with Dad ,I still get everything first , if its raining and I want to come back home , they follow me because Dad says they have to , Jess is my favorite though she reminds me of Mummy

Jessamine Princess
I’m Homed
Princess Jess is so affectionate, its just lovely ( apart from 2 changes of Muddy paw tops before I could go to work when she jumped up at me) Celia and Princess Jess have almost become polar opposites to the way they were described and she hasn't quite got the hang of lying on the edge of the bed yet, so down go the back legs first and then she falls off, a few nights ago that tipped the bedside cabinet over and the lamp and my water, give me 5 years with 3 and I'll have 5 greyhounds when I retire !! 1,3,5 Odd numbers and Greyhounds are loveably Odd

Celia Jannah
I’m Homed
Celia is Officially the Craziest dog in the world, 100 times crazier than Carrie ever was, she is so interested in EVERYTHING and follows me around like a bad smell ... She's so Lovely, Butter would definitely melt in her mouth, I actually think that she thinks that she is a normal dog and not a greyhound

The residents had two extra long walks today 🙂 I had the pleasure of taking Knight out. He walks beautifully on the lead and is just the right height to be able to stroke him and walk at the same time. :)) It great to see Alan and Myra this afternoon. Everyone got back shortly before the rain. 🙁 Xxx.

Florence (Westy)
I’m Homed
I heard mom telling TC she wanted a horse, she promised it would be a small one that could live in the house so he didn’t need to build a stable for it. She said she would train it to sleep in a dog bed and get one without a mane so it didn’t need grooming a lot. TC said ‘let me guess you’ll teach it to speak dog so it can communicate with Florence’. Then he said good try and laughed...... not sure if we’re getting the horse or not. Lubs to all Florence xxx

Finn (Trebles)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Awww Trebles. Such a pity. Maybe you need to be with another hound and someone who doesn't work or works from home. If we had space and didnt have our hands full with Skip and Sam we'd certainly give you a chance with us. Good luck in finding your forever home. It's out there soon. x
